We LOVE Dmitri&Sandra! We cannot say enough good things about them…in addition to their photography being absolutely stunning, they are both just wonderful people. They are so professional and work very well with other weddings vendors in Maui. We are so happy with how the photos turned out, and we know we will cherish them forever because of Dmitri&Sandra.
Dmitri and Sandra are so wonderful to work with!! Sandra was in regular contact with us before our wedding and after to ensure every detail went smoothly. Dmitri and Sandra were also very efficient during the family photos so that we could spend more time at our cocktail hour!
I can’t get over how beautiful our photos turned out!! Every single photo was artistically done and their attention to detail is impeccable! I would highly highly encourage anyone to use them… you will not be disappointed! I can’t wait to have another excuse to travel to Hawaii and use them again.
Dmitri and Sandra went above and beyond for us. The photos of our wedding are all so fantastic! They did a wonderful job and we will treasure the photos for the rest of our lives. They jumped in when needed, they captured every moment and they made us feel so comfortable. Truly the best photographers ever!
Truly the best husband & wife duo photographers you need to have to capture photos for any & all of your special events in Hawaii!!
My husband and I booked Dmitri & Sandra for both an engagement shoot session & to be our photographers on our wedding day. We had a small intimate wedding ceremony on the beautiful island of Maui & words cannot describe how amazing our experience was working with Dmitri & Sandra!! We truly appreciate working with them on the day of the wedding & months leading up to it. Since we were traveling from the out of state, D&S were always easy to get in contact with and really took the time to learn about us and our love story. Their attention to small details is immaculate, along with their outstanding kindness and hospitality. They ensured everyone look picture perfect and felt comfortable in front of the camera. Upon receiving our gallery, we both couldn’t get over how STUNNING they were. We are both still in awe and fill with excitement each time we looked at them. I HIGHLY recommend if you’re a bride/groom to be and looking for that timeless, elegant look in your photos and a seamless and communicative vendor to have capture your special day, to book with Dmitri and Sandra Photography!
When it came to choosing photographers for our Maui wedding, Dmitri and Sandra stood out from the crowd. Their photos, full of vibrant colors and timeless beauty, instantly captured our hearts.
What made Dmitri and Sandra truly special was their teamwork. As a husband and wife duo, they brought a unique harmony to their craft. And with the addition of Maxyne, their team became even more dynamic.
From the moment they arrived, Sandra and Maxyne's warmth and friendliness put us at ease. Despite our nerves in front of the camera, they made us feel comfortable and natural.
What we loved most about Dmitri and Sandra was their ability to turn ordinary moments into extraordinary memories. With their keen eye for detail and commitment to authenticity, they captured the essence of our wedding day perfectly.
In short, Dmitri and Sandra are more than just photographers; they're storytellers. They have a gift for preserving the magic of special moments, and we're grateful to have had them capture our wedding day:)
Sandra and Dmitri are the ultimate wedding photography dream team!! From the very first email, they were an absolute joy to work with, offering invaluable assistance and accommodating our every need. Their dedication to going above and beyond for their clients was evident in every interaction we had.
When we faced the tough decision to postpone our original wedding date due to the devastating Maui fires, Sandra and Dmitri were right there by our side. They helped us explore alternative venue options and dates, ensuring that our vision for the perfect wedding could still be brought to life.
Their exceptional service is only matched by their incredible talent behind the lens. Every single shot they took was like something straight out of a magazine. They captured all the candid moments and emotions of the day perfectly, and the artistic shots of our venue were just breathtaking. Our family and friends couldn't stop gushing about how amazing the photos were.
We planned our destination wedding from almost 5000 miles away and they made the experience sooooo much smoother. They were undoubtedly one of our favorite vendors from the entire wedding experience!! Could not recommend enough!!
Dmitri and Sandra are amazing! We selected them to photograph our wedding here on Maui at Olowalu Plantation, and they did an incredible job. They were so fun and easy to work with from pre planning up until our big day. We absolutely love our photos and are so happy we chose them to capture our wedding. Highly recommend!
Where do I even begin to express my gratitude and admiration for the incredible work of Dmitri and Sandra? From the moment i stumbled across their work, it was evident that their passion for photography was unmatched, and they exceeded every expectation we had.
Not only did they capture every moment of our special day with an artistic eye and unparalleled skill, but they also managed to encapsulate the emotions and essence of the day in each frame. Every time I look at our wedding photos, I am transported back to the most perfect day, reliving every emotion and memory as if it were happening all over again.
Their professionalism and attention to detail were truly commendable. They were a joy to work with, effortlessly capturing candid moments while also providing gentle direction when needed for posed shots. Their ability to put us at ease in front of the camera resulted in natural, authentic photographs that we will cherish for a lifetime.
Not only did they deliver the final photos promptly, but the quality of their work surpassed anything we could have imagined. Each image was meticulously crafted to perfection, showcasing their talent and dedication to their work.
Dmitri and Sandra didn't just provide us with photos; they gave us a priceless collection that we will forever hold dear. To anyone searching for a wedding photographer who will go above and beyond to capture the beauty of their special day, look no further. They are simply the best, and we feel incredibly lucky to have had them document our wedding day. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for giving us memories to last a lifetime.
We had booked a trip to Maui back in June and we weren’t engaged yet, but it was all part of the plan! :) So when we got engaged in September, I thought booking an engagement session in Maui would be perfect! I’m so glad we book with Dmitri and Sandra! Dmitri made the experience so amazing, made us feel so comfortable and the pictures are beyond my wildest dreams! Sandra is so responsive over email and just the best overall customer experience. It poured on our engagement day session and they rescheduled us for the very next day before we left! 11/10 highly recommend!
Dmitri and Sandra and WONDERFUL. From the beginning of the process to the end, they are a delight to work with. They take the time to get to know you as a couple leading up to the wedding. By the time we got to the day of the wedding, there was no thought or worry on our end put into capturing the day - it was just done. To top it all off, Dmitri and Sandra are an absolute joy to be around. Not even to mention how beautiful the photos turned out. We would highly recommend you choose them for your special day, you won't be disappointed!
Hiring Dmitri & Sandra was the BEST decision we made. They are, first and foremost, the nicest and most professional people we've met. They worked within the budget we gave them without any judgment, and communicated with us and our planner very well. They arrived at the designated meeting spot (getting ready hotel and the ceremony location) on time and well prepared. Sandra is amazing at styling the invitation and jewelry shots; she incorporated everything I wanted to be included in the photos. Dmitri was very polite with my wedding party and guests while taking photos.
Our photos arrived earlier than the expected wait time; they are amazing! They give you multiple pictures of similar poses/photos so you can upload/print the one you like best. Their style of photography is timeless and vibrant in a very tasteful way.
We highly recommend hiring Dmitri & Sandra. They are located in Maui, but they will fly to other islands (mine was at Honolulu, Oahu). You will not regret it!
Dmitri and Sandra are simply the best. If they only captured our beautiful memories and delivered show stopping photos, that would have been enough. But it's how they did it that still overwhelms us to this day, with their warmth, kindness, generosity, and willingness to help in any and every way. Having them be a part of our wedding was like welcoming your favorite, trusted friends - who knew exactly when to get what they needed and when to let you savor the moment. These are incredibly special people, and we can't recommend them enough. Look no further than Dmitri and Sandra.
Dmitri and Sandra were the perfect choice for our wedding at the Montage on Maui. They were extremely professional and gave us their expert opinion/advice while also listening to our thoughts/ideas. I highly recommend them and we will use them again if we ever need professional photographs on Maui! The wedding album they put together for us was beautiful as well.
Dmitri and Sandra were absolutely amazing to work with. They photographed our welcome party, rehearsal dinner and wedding day and I cannot recommend them enough! They took the time to understand what we were looking for, what our "must-have shots" were, and ended up capturing our wedding week even better than we could have ever envisioned it. Not only are they extremely talented and professional, they are also so friendly and warm hearted- the best energy all around! We are so happy with how our photos turned out and will never stop looking back on them!
We just finished our wedding invitations using photos from our session with Dmitri! So many beautiful photos to choose from - Dmitri put us at ease during the session, was very friendly and kind, and he took us to a hidden gem of Maui that's breath taking to see :) He got us the pictures so fast too, it was greatly appreciated! Everyone loved our pictures and we gladly shared your name :) Sandra has always been very courteous, well-organized, flexible, and most importantly, wonderful to talk to - so glad we found you, thank you for being a part of our Maui journey, hope our paths cross again in the future. Mahalo :)
We absolutely LOVED working with Dmitri and Sandra for our wedding at Merrimans!! Their team is incredible and their work is absolutely stunning! They are so sweet and flexible, making our wedding experience such a pleasure. We bought two wedding albums from them and I highly recommend! I've never seen wedding albums this beautiful! Truly highest quality, such gorgeous keepsakes and so happy we will have these forever!!
Best wedding photographers around!! This amazing duo captured our day perfectly. I can't wait to have them take more pictures of us the next time we travel back to Maui :)
Dmitri and Sandra were a joy to be photographed by! They made my husband and I feel so comfortable. Sandra helped fix my dress at each pose change and Dmitri made us feel confident in front of the camera! The photos turned out better than we could have even imagined!! On top of all of this, they are such lovely people and so kind and genuine. Definitely recommend hiring them!
If you want to absolutely be stunned at how gorgeous your wedding photos come out then hire Dmitri and Sandra! Prior to working with Dmitri and Sandra, my husband and I took engagement photos which we ultimately felt like we are just not photogenic people. We did not feel this way when we received our wedding photos. Dmitri and Sandra are the most kind, patient, and knowledgeable photographers. My husband and I have never looked so good in photos!! They guided us through everything- how/where to stand, hand placement, head tilt, everything. We felt so at ease with them! Our photos came out stunning and we will forever be grateful!
It has been such a pleasure to work with Dmitri and Sandra these past few years. We first connected with them pre-COVID, but ultimately had to postpone our fall 2020 wedding by a year. They were wonderful about moving our date and did both our welcome dinner and wedding photos and now a year later our making our wedding album. Not only are they the sweetest husband wife team, but working with them was effortless, we didn’t have to force photos and we didn’t feel overly directed, if anything it just felt fun and natural. In the end we have so many beautiful photos that we love, so much so that we just had to have them do an album for us. We highly recommend this dream team. You are in quality hands with them and you get to work with wonderful people on top of it.
Dmitri and Sandra and the team were absolutely a dream to work with, they all empower the love of Ohana, the main reason we are so drawn to Hawaii, and our experience working with them could not have been better. We were a COVID wedding, had 3 date changes and they couldn't have been more understanding and helpful at each change. This affirmed we made the right choice because it showed their values and who they truly were as a company. THANK YOU for not only capturing our day perfectly but being so fun and easy to work with. Dimitri and the team were so relaxed and natural and made us feel very comfortable. We aren't very confident in front of the camera/ crowds but your team made us feel so welcome and comfortable and were able to capture so many amazing pictures. We can't say thank you enough, that was our absolute dream day and these amazing pictures give us the chance to relive it over and over.
Dmitri and Sandra were absolutely amazing to work with. They were incredibly helpful, even before our wedding day, in guiding us to think through and prepare for photos. They do a great job coaching and directing you if you aren’t comfortable on the day of, and they’re so friendly throughout. They work great together but also can stagger to maximize coverage time. Most importantly, we were so happy with how our photos turned out. Truly magical!
We loved working with Dmitri and Sandra! We used them for our engagement photos and wedding photos and they both turned out amazing. We love the light airy feeling of their work and they were so nice to work with! They made us feel comfortable right away even though we weren't used to being in front of the camera and I would definitely use them again for all our photography needs on the island!
Dmitri and Sandra were the perfect duo to photograph our Maui wedding! They are kind, fun, professional, and efficient with the allotted time. Even with the on & off rain that we experienced on our wedding day, they handled it perfectly and were still able to capture the best lighting in all the shots. They were also very good/quick about communication from the very first time we reached out to them for more information. We hope to have a reason to use them again in the future and would highly recommend them to capture your special day!
Dmitri and Sandra were the bestttttt wedding photographers for our wedding!!! Our pictures turned out amazing. They were so kind and helpful. They gave us many ideas and really took the time to get to know us. We couldn’t have been more happy with our photos. I am so glad we trusted our big day to them!
Going with Dmitri & Sandra Photography as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our intimate mini-mony in Maui. We were drawn to their natural, airy yet vibrant, and sophisticated photography style and they delivered exactly that for our wedding photos. Dmitri shot our wedding and he was very professional, punctual, and helpful with making our poses natural. We love our photos and and would recommend Dmitri and Sandra to anyone in a heartbeat.
We absolutely loved how our honeymoon photos turned out!!! Dmitri did an amazing job finding the best lighting and view to make the photos so incredibly beautiful. He took us to spots with fantastic views and unique scenery. We are extremely pleased and I really do hope I someday have another opportunity to have photos taken by Dmitri and Sandra in Maui. Book them, you won't regret it.
Fantastic overall experience! Communication with Sandra was great. Our conversations with her were very pleasant and natural. Email communication were quick and responsive. Dmitri was very professional. The photoshoot was really fun and relaxing. His instructions were easy to follow. The quality of the photos came out amazing. Also, one thing that we really appreciate with Dmitri and Sandra was their understanding and empathy with their clients during the pandemic. Last year, we booked them for our wedding before the pandemic. Once we all realized that it was not gonna happen, they fully refunded us right away. So it was no question that once we were able to travel to Maui a year later, we went straight back to them. Two very happy clients here. Highly recommended!
Dmitri and Sandra completely exceeded our expectations. Their photography style is classic and timeless. They were able to capture the most important moments as well as in-between tender and sincere moments. All of my guests continue to rave about how stunning our wedding photos turned out and have even requested that Dmitri and Sandra develop a training course for current photographers. Their attention to detail is incomparable to any photographer we have worked with. They are incredibly friendly, so personable, and offer valuable guidance for posing in order to look natural and effortless. We feel so fortunate to have worked with them and extremely grateful for their talents. If you’re looking for a Maui-based photographer, you have found the one!
My husband and I took a trip to Maui and wanted some photos to help document our trip. Dmitri and Sandra were SO helpful from start to finish in helping us find the perfect location that matched our vision for our session, helping us figure out what to wear, and then capturing images that we LOVE! I'm a photographer myself and am super picky when it comes to portraits, and I am obsessed with how ours turned out! I can't recommend them enough!
Sandra and Dmitri are AMAZING photographers. Dmitri photographed our family/couples session and the photos turned out phenomenal! We were so pleased with the entire booking process, communication, and the beautiful photographs we received. If you're on the hunt for a wedding or couples (or family- because they rock at all of it) I highly recommend Dmitri and Sandra. We'll definitely be booking them again when we return to Maui for our vow renewal!
My husband and I got married at Merriman's in Kapalua in 09/2019. Of their listed vendors, Dmitri and Sandra were our favorite of the photographers, by far. We were so thankful they were available to photograph our wedding! The entire process was smooth and professional. Dmitri was there the day of our wedding, and was very professional but also laid back, which helped make the process much less awkward. It took about a month before we got our first pictures back, but it was well worth the wait. They're stunning and beyond what we even imagined. Very thankful to have these pictures to look back on and cherish our special day. I highly recommend using Dmitri and Sandra if you're planning on getting married or engaged in Maui!
I 100% recommend their services! Their pictures are absolutely stunning and their professionalism is next to none. They made everything about the process easy and joyful (which is not always the case with weddings!) They were my favorite wedding vendor out of all of the vendors I worked with. They provide clear and welcome tips and direction, and also want the day and your pictures to reflect YOU and YOUR style! If you are looking for a photographer, I would not hesitate to book them! In fact, we will be booking them on a return trip to Hawaii for family photos.
Booking Dmitri & Sandra for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made! They are true professionals and artists who will beautifully capture all the important moments of your day from big to small.
What we appreciated most was the care and attention they put into making sure our day-of timeline would allow us to get all the photos we wanted. They helpfully offered suggestions, changes and even alternate locations to take advantage of the best lighting of the day, etc. Looking back, we are so glad we trusted their suggestions.
When we got our photos, we were amazed at how they turned out! Our friends and family have raved that they look like they are from a magazine. The great photos they captured of our guests even made for great holiday gifts. We know we will be looking back fondly on these memories for years to come.
To say that Dmitri & Sandra are amazing photographers is an enormous understatement! They are phenomenal! We just received our photos from our wedding this past fall at Olowalu and we are overwhelmed at how beautiful and perfect they turned out! Not only are they incredibly talented photographers, they are extremely kind, organized, and managed to always be in the right place at the right time to snap fantastic candid photos (in addition to the pre-planed photos). They took time to meet with us a few days before the wedding to discuss our “must have” shots. This fantastic duo captured our wedding day exactly how we pictured it! Dmitri and Sandra were also very helpful in giving us ideas and guidance to help pose and place us to make each photo stunning! The colors and beauty of Maui and our wedding are forever memorialized. We can’t speak highly enough about Dmitri and Sandra. If we could give them 6 out of 5 star rating we would.
Dimitri and Sandra are the BEST! We are so beyond impressed with the incredible photos they captured of our wedding day!
They truly cared about us, making us feel special, and creating these images that we will cherish forever. From the prompt email response times, to dealing with our hectic families on the big day, they were so professional and accommodating!
They made us feel comfortable and really captured our love in a special and unique way! We are forever thankful for their talents!
We highly recommend Dmitri and Sandra for your Hawaiian wedding!! Even before we met them, they sent us a cute little Hawaiian license plate. Such a nice gesture! On our wedding day, they made us feel so comfortable and were very easy to work with. We love our pictures. They were really able to capture the essence and beauty of the day and of our venue at Olowalu. I will never get tired of looking at our wedding photos! Thank you guys!!
If I could just drop my 1000 photo wedding album I just received as evidence as to why you should book with Dmitri and Sandra, I would. Telling you that the photos are incredible doesn’t do it justice. It’s only a matter of time until Vogue wants to feature us on the front cover, lol, the pictures are THAT good! Dmitri was our photographer for the day, he was calm, punctual, and snapped every great candid! He got along so well with our videographer and they really complimented each other very well. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect photography experience.
High quality photos were a big priority for us for our wedding, and Dmitri and Sandra gave us exactly what we wanted! The photos were stunning, and none of them were filtered or majorly photoshopped. They are fantastic at capturing the spirit of the day and candid moments. On the day of the wedding, they were unobtrusive but creative and made us feel that we were in good hands.
We are so happy we chose Dmitri and Sandra to photograph our wedding day! They are both very professional and friendly. Any questions we had were always answered and they captured all the photos we requested. Our photos are beyond amazing and we have received so many compliments from our family and friends. They definitely exceeded our expectations. Thank you so much Dmitri and Sandra for documenting our special day!
My husband and I can’t say enough amazing things about Dmitri and Sandra! They photographed our wedding in January in Maui! The photos completely exceeded our expectations and we are blown away on how they captured our day perfectly! They are amazing at what they do and made us feel so comfortable! They are great people inside and out and it was so much fun to work with them! We would use them again in a heartbeat! :)
We had Dmitri and Sandra photograph our wedding in October. They did a fantastic job! They were kind, professional, and made us awkward folks feel confident and look great! We have over 900 photos and they are just stunning! More importantly, each photo is a memory of our best day ever. We will see one and it envokes all the feelings we had that day, and how happy everyone was, and then other memories resurface in connection with that one. And then you get this crazy wonderful cycle of remembrance from a day you never wanted to forget. And that's just what we got didn't we...now we can never forget! Thank you Dmitri and Sandra, for this gift that will last a lifetime!
Dmitri and Sandra Photography was a pleasure to work with for our wedding at Olowalu Plantation House in September 2018. We had a large wedding and they directed our guests to get all the key shots. We took a variety of photos around the property and I felt they made our’s unique. They weren’t all the typical or standard Olowalu photos that you see everywhere. They made us feel special and important on our wedding day. All communication and planning with them was easy. Our photos were edited and returned very timely. I am very happy with our end product and will treasure them forever. You can tell Dmitri and Sandra are hard working, honest, very talented and highly respected among other Maui wedding vendors. I would definitely recommend them to photograph your wedding.
Dmitri & Sandra were the most wonderful couple to work with on our wedding day at The Villa at Calasa Olive Farm in Maui. My husband & I are literally obsessed - completely over the moon with how our wedding photos turned out! They’re both extremely professional and such warm & kind people. They pay attention to all of the little details and were able to recreate the magic of our wedding day through their amazing photos. Their communication throughout the entire wedding planning process was excellent. From initially meeting with them during our pre-wedding vendor considerations, to the post-wedding updates and eventual arrival of our photos, it was always clear, timely & concise. I would highly recommend them to anybody & would even ask them to take photos for us once again!
Fairly priced and photos turned out reasonably well, but I would caution against using them due to Dmitri's immaturity and childishness.
We got married at Olowalu Plantation House this October and we were so thankful to have had Dmitri to photograph our special day. When we were searching for photographers, we knew we wanted Dmitri and Sandra, their portfolio is amazing and their work speaks for itself. Dmitri was very easy going and made taking photos effortless. He helped us pick natural poses since we’d never been professionally photographed but also gave us a lot of freedom in what we did. I told him the types of photos we liked from their portfolio and he made sure to take those pictures for us. Our photos turned out so beautiful and exceeded our expectations. He also got us our photos (close to 700) right within the time frame he had given us. We highly recommend them, you won’t be disappointed!
We couldn’t be happier with our decision to choose Dmitri and Sandra as our photographers for our wedding at Merriman’s Kapalua in August 2017.
Not only were both of them super friendly and easy to get along with, you could tell throughout the day how hard they were working to make sure they captured the big moments and little details. Their vast experience with Merriman’s was so valuable - they knew the exact spots and timings to get the amazing images we ended up with.
When we received our photos, we were even happier! It’s clear they understood our style, with so many candid, natural, fun shots. We would recommend Dmitri and Sandra to anyone looking for fun, professional and incredibly talented photographers for their Maui wedding.
Dmitri and Sandra were phenomenal to say the least. They are very fun to work with yet incredibly professional and responsive as well. Dmitri will go above and beyond like climb trees to get the perfect shot. They specialize in being able to capture the gorgeous Maui scenery as well as those very special emotional moments during the ceremony and reception. They both have a great eye and were able to capture all the perfect moments allowing us to relive our happiest day. We cannot stop looking at the photos and have received so many compliments on them. Thank you so much Dmitri and Sandra!
We had the pleasure of having Dmitri as our photographer. His artistic talent resulted in such gorgeous pictures that captured everything we requested and so much more beyond that. They were so responsive when I had questions before the wedding and added lots of helpful information. Dmitri was also so easygoing and great to work with. Recently, we had a party and included the pictures in a slideshow; everyone agreed that the photographer did an exceptional job. We are still so happy with our decision (and can't stop looking at the pictures). I highly recommend Dmitri and Sandra!
These two are incredible. They handled our engagement photos and wedding photos. If you have the opportunity, I SO recommend having them do both your engagement photos and wedding photos! For the engagement photos, Dmitri took us to some beautiful spots around the west side of the island to capture some amazing shots. We loved the way the photos turned out. For the wedding we had in March 2017 at an estate in Makena, Dmitri and Sandra were with us every step of the way capturing the best moments and all of the subtle details. They are wonderful people, very easy to work with, flexible, and make every moment so comfortable and natural. The shots they capture are so unique, getting the perfect lighting, shade, and moment. Our family and friends loved looking at experiences they captured, a lot of it behind the scenes. They are the best!
Dmitri photographed our Maui wedding in February and did an amazing job!!!! He was wonderful to work with leading up to the wedding and was great the day of. He made everyone feel comfortable and his artistic eye was apparent. He released several teaser pictures right after the wedding that were completely amazing and made the wait until the full release hard. Once we got them we can not stop looking at them!!!!! Absolutely gorgeous and totally captured what we were looking for. They turned out like works of art highlighting Maui that we just happened to be in. Could not be happier with how they turned out or the whole experience working with Dmitri from start to finish. I can't wait to see our beautiful book (we loved the pictures so much we couldn't resist the printed versions)!!!
Dmitri and Sandra were wonderful to work with. My husband and I don't have any professional photos and very rarely pose for pictures but they made us feel comfortable. The pictures turned out beautifully and I can't wait to see the heirloom photo album we purchased from them as well. I only wished we had planned for some additional time/photos with the rest of our guests - the time goes by so fast!
My Maid of Honor, also a professional photographer, helped me select D & S from the list of preferred vendors for the Four Seasons (our venue). Right away she picked up on their beautiful use of lighting (nearly all natural light). I thought it was cute they were husband and wife, and liked their backstory so I was an easy sell :)
They were so easy to communicate with, from day one. I filled out a pretty comprehensive questionnaire to help them identify things that were most important to us, then they showed up when and where we expected them to. The girls worked with Sandra first in our room. She was totally self-sufficient and started doing her thing while I was finishing getting ready. Meanwhile, Dmitri was with the boys, keeping my groom to be in line :) Then he came up to the girls room to do the final shots of the dress, finishing touches, etc.
I don't even remember seeing anyone besides my husband during our actual ceremony (sounds crazy but we were in the zone, haha), but I know they were there getting great shots, but blending in and not distracting from the event in any way.
The group shots and shots of just us on the beach went quickly and efficiently thanks to their knowledge of the property and expertise. I can't WAIT to see our pictures because I know they're going to be breathtaking.
They were a good value - it seems like a ton of money at first, but it's really the primary way that you and your husband will remember the magic of your wedding day, and share it with your loved ones for years to come.
Thank you Dmitri and Sandra! We loved working with you and your passion for your craft is so evident. Also, you were just really sweet, genuine people which only added to the great love and support we felt that day.
Dmitri was our photographer for our July wedding on Maui. He was on time and the pictures are natural/ not overly photoshopped. He was very professional at his work and does a great job capturing genuine expressions.
Dmitri and Sandra were wonderful. They made my husband and I feel extremely comfortable and relaxed. We had a great time working with them. I just got our pictures back and they are absolutely amazing. Many people have said they are the best wedding photos they have ever seen.
I highly recommend these two :)
Dmitri and his wife Sandra were flexible and accommodating right from the start. Most photographers on Maui have established packages you can choose from, but it's hard to get them to customize them for you. I wanted to cut a few costs and Dmitri was creative on how to get rid of the items I didn't need and right-size the price. When he arrived, he brought his assistant which was sweet because I was only paying for him to be there.
He was great at being a fly on the wall, I barely knew he was there which was nice because I wasn't focusing on the pictures the entire time. He made sure to get every shot I had requested, and went above and beyond what we asked for our photos together alone. He drove us up to his secret spot when the sun was setting and I am SO GLAD. The photos turned out incredible and I would have never thought to have gone there. He didn't have us do cheesy beach photos and had great taste when it came to light and the style of the pictures.
I would VERY highly recommend Dmitri and Sandra as a wedding photographer, and I am dying to see the rest of my photos!
Loved them! They did an amazing job and I highly recommend them
Having a destination wedding was not as easy as I thought. I was not in a position to meet my vendors face to face to let them know what I was looking for. Dmitri and Sandra were able to work out a package to include video which was done by Dmitri's brothers from All Time Media.
It felt a little rushed and wish we had more photos with family but all on all, I am happy to have them
Dmitri and Sandra are amazing photographers! They love capturing every minute of your event. Our photos turned out wonderful! We even ordered an album from them (this cost is not included in what we spent). Make sure you fill out the question form it really helped them understand about us as a couple and helped them find special moments to capture of us and our families. I hope when my husband and I have children and visit Maui we can get them to do family photos!
We decided on a destination wedding in Maui, but being from California we had no idea what vendors to use. My coordinator at the venue had given me a list of photographers that she recommended and I look through each of the photographers’ profiles online and I really fell in love with Dmitri’s artist style. I loved his work and contacted him to see if he was available. He got back to me right away and it was very easy to set-up an account with him as well as arrange payment. A few days later I received an email with a survey to learn more about us as a couple, what style we liked, what moments were important to us, etc. It was nice to feel like he wanted to get to know us.
Once our wedding date arrived, my first meeting with Dmitri was that he was very nice. We were finishing up our hair and he took a few candid shoots of us. He was very patient and understanding of our needs. He brought his own great ideas, but also very open to anything that we came up with and wanted him to shoot. We are a very non-traditional couple, so we wanted a handful of goofy photos and he was absolutely fine with shooting our crazy ideas. We joked around the whole time and it made it very at easy for us. I think Dmitri had just as much fun as we did that day! He had our photos up onto a site for us to check out in about one week, which is amazing, but the photos themselves were even more amazing. The photos were more than I could have imagined and I would highly recommend him & his wifey to everyone!!! Thank you so much for capturing this day as I now can live it over and over in your amazing photos!
