About this vendor
I'm a Maui, Hawaii based wedding photographer specializing in natural, fun, and authentic photography. I'm all about capturing your unique story and giving you photos that scream "this is so us". Your wedding is a unique expression of who you are as a couple and my goal is to document all the major moments of your day, as well as the natural in-between ones, and to give you rich, beautiful photos that you will love forever. I have an easy-going approach and try to fit into your wedding day as seamlessly as possible. However I'm great at dealing with groups of people and will do what it takes to get the shot. Even if that means cracking the whip with uncooperative guests (i.e. troublemaking groomsmen). I can't wait to get to know you and learn about your love story!

ding that I really wanted to focus on, and her photos and artistic touches are phenomenal!

Chantelle is FANTASTIC!! We had so much fun on our wedding adventure shoot with her! She was so helpful beforehand with florist/HAMU recommendations. Not only is she a great perso...

We love her photos! Her edits are great; the whole set feels very cohesive despite our difficult and changing lighting. We’re so appreciative of her hard work.
Chantelle was a joy ...
to work with. If we had to do the wedding all over again we’d choose her again in a heartbeat!
Chantelle is a great communicator, and super organized. She was great about reaching out to us ahead of time to talk about timelines and what was important to us to have captured. We felt totally at ease and had absolute confidence in her on our big day.
All of our wedding guests remarked on how professional she was. During family portraits she was very efficient at keeping schedule, and at the same time totally polite. She was able to capture all the action during the ceremony and reception while being respectful of guests.
WOW! We are blown away by how beautiful our photos turned out. She managed to capture our us looking so natural.. nothing looked posed or awkward. As someone who's camera shy an...
d usually hates all photos of myself, I was pleasantly surprised to like every single photo she took of us. It's a struggle to find our top 10 favorite photos, which is the best problem to have.
Chantelle was referred to us by another photographer that was already booked. She didn't have a lot of reviews, so we were a little skeptical at first. But, after looking through her portfolio and instagram, we were quickly sold. We were shocked she was in our price range as her portfolio looked nicer than most of the very expensive photographers we looked at.
Chantelle was punctual and professional, but also so much fun to work with. She has an infectious laugh and relaxed personality that helped us immediately feel comfortable and at ease. She gave good direction to get the perfect shots. She was quick to respond to emails and answer all questions leading up to ceremony.
We are so happy we chose her, and we highly recommend her!
Me and my fiancé were planning a trip to Maui and I decided to get our engagement photos done while on the island. I researched hashtags on Instagram for Maui photographers and stu...
mbled across Chantelle's photos and Instagram page. I loved her style so I booked a session for our vacation. Our photos turned out amazing! She made us feel comfortable and really captured some photos we will love forever! I can not wait to get these printed out and use them for our save the dates and wedding décor. Thank you Chantelle!
We hired Chantelle to photograph our wedding in April 2018. She was amazing! We didn't meet her until the day of our wedding but it didn't matter at all - she made us feel totally ...

My whole family liked her too :) She was great at communicating and answering any questions we had, and we got our photos back very quickly and we absolutely love every single one! Thank you Chantelle!

My Fiancé and I decided it would be fun to get our engagement photos taken while on vacation in Maui. After researching local photographers, I stumbled upon Chantelle Kanani Photog...
raphy, and I am so glad I did! After looking at Chantelle's folio on her website and checking out her Instagram photos, I was sold on the quality and authenticity of her photos. Chantelle is very responsive and a great communicator. It was very easy to set up our session.
Our portrait session with Chantelle was incredible. We chose the morning photo shoot, which was characterized by cotton candy colored skies and gorgeous natural light. Chantelle was a dream to work with. Her easy-going and gentle manner helped us relax as subjects of the camera. Also, her sense of humor is fantastic. Chantelle took us to three different locations to shoot which were close to our hotel on the island. Our fun 1.5-hour portrait session flew by before we knew it.
Our finished photos are stunning. Chantelle did a wonderful job. I'm beyond pleased with the quality of our photos from the engagement shoot. Thank you, Chantelle! I'm looking forward to working with Chantelle again on a future trip to Maui. Mahalo!
Chantelle was a pleasure to work with. She was thoughtful in her shots during and after the ceremony! It really made the whole process a delight. Once we received our final phot...
os, I couldn't have asked for more. They are beautiful and really captured the day and our personalities. I highly recommend her.
Thank you, Chantelle, for making this day so easy and enjoyable. You were awesome! And our pictures turned out better than I could have ever imagined. I highly recommend Chantelle ...
Kananai Photography to anyone looking for amazing wedding photos!
Chantelle is the epitome of a "guest-pleasing photographer". We had her photograph our wedding in Maui in 2015 & we loved her & the photos so much that we rebooked her for our one ...
year anniversary! Needless to say, the one year anniversary was not as smooth as the wedding-since the storm clouds came down on us after only a few photos taken. My husband & I decided to go along with it, after all-it was our anniversary & Chantelle trooped along with us. I would recommend her to anyone, she knows Maui well, knows great photo locations & is a pure pleasure to work with. We'll be back for anniversary number five!
