Every year for the last 10 years we do yearly photos. I always have a hard time finding one “perfect” photo to put on our holiday card. This year we moved to Maui and I asked Maria...
h to do our photos at our new home. She was kind, accommodating, wonderful, and easy to be around. It didn’t feel forced at all. When I received the pictures it was soo hard to choose one for the card. They were all excellent. Without hesitation I have already booked her for 2022 photos and recommend her to everyone I know. ♥️♥️

s in the photos. It’s important to have a photographer that is versatile and can thrive in different weather conditions and last- minute location changes. Both of those things happened on our special day due to flash floods and rain, but everything turned out beautifully, and they made the entire experience feel effortless and enjoyable. 10/10 would recommend :)
Mariah and Peter... where do I start?! Right from the beginning these two were nothing but amazing. Peter handled my million questions with humour and patience, offering tips and s...
uggestions whenever needed. I got to know Mariah over messaging with her for the year prior to our wedding. She has such a kind and pure heart and it showed immediately. Due to the current state of the world we panicked slightly about our wedding being postponed but Mariah and Peter were nothing but comforting and accommodating when we suddenly moved the wedding up. The morning of our wedding was perfect. They both made us feel comfortable and at ease. It was a magical day. We were sooo incredibly happy with the photos we received. They are something we will cherish forever. We highly recommend using Mariah to capture any moment and we look forward to returning to Maui when this is all over and getting some more family photos done in the future. ❤️

and I fell in love with her and her husband who helped make our dreams a reality. And when we received the photos, Oh my word they are INCREDIBLE. She captured our day in stunning detail. All that said... if you're in getting married in Maui, please hire Mariah as the photographer for your special day <3

Look no further, Mariah is a gem and in our opinion, the only choice. Not only is she an ahhhhmazing photographer; she is the most genuine and kindest human. We feel so blessed to have met her.

We booked Mariah for an elopement style photo shoot on our honeymoon in Maui and the photos were unbelievable! They are my favorite pictures and I am so happy with how they turned ...
out! She made the whole experience fun and easy and made our time at Haleakala even more of a fun adventure! She is a Maui local and her experience, recommendations, and tips were extremely valuable and really enhanced our week on the island. I really appreciated her sending a sneak peak the next day and when I showed the picture to some people we met at a luau later that week they teared up at how beautiful the image was! She is truly amazing at what she does and we couldn’t be happier to have chosen to her to capture our photos!
We took our engagement pictures with Mariah and she was such a delight! My fiancé is very nervous as this was his first ever photo shoot and she made us feel so comfortable. We lov...

t be happier with final product. As well, she is an absolute pleasure to work with. Mariah is incredibly creative - she offered suggestions to make the photos unique (i.e. twirls and dancing). Overall, my family and I are very happy with her work. Highly recommend Mariah if you are looking for a photographer on Maui!
My now husband and I hired Mariah as the photographer for our elopement on May 6th, 2019. I would 100% recommend booking her if you find yourself on Maui as she was an absolute dr...
eam to work with. We were very nervous initially because neither of us were used to having our pictures professionally taken, but Mariah immediately made us feel totally at ease. She is such a genuinely kind and laid back person which helped us to relax and enjoy every moment. She offered great direction and made us feel so special on our big day. Mariah has such an artistic vision and was eager to move us around to get a variety of shots and backdrops. She was kind enough to send a few sneak peaks the following day and I cannot wait to see what else she captured!
I can’t even begin to say how impressed I am with Mariah Milan Photography!! She captured the most beautiful pictures of my family! The location was absolutely perfect and working ...
with Mariah was seamless! I will use her every time we visit Maui! Can’t wait to have these images displayed in my home!!
My husband and I took a trip to Maui for a mini work vacation. As a photographer I knew I wanted to invest in beautiful photos and find someone who would be able to bring out the s...
miles in my husband. I found Mariah on Instagram and another Maui photographer recommended her. Mariah and her team photographer Samantha were amazing to work with, personal, approachable, and fun. From colors, composition and the details that matter we absolutely LOVE our photos! Samantha did an excellent job of making us feel relaxed and our session fun. We loved our beach mini session.
I searched extensively for a photographer in Maui and kept coming back to Mariah’s website because I loved her pictures; the energy she was able to capture and the colors of her p...
hotos were amazing. I couldn’t be happier with hiring Mariah! Mariah is very talented and knows what she is doing behind the camera! She captured everything we wanted during our session and made the process so very easy and enjoyable. We couldn’t be happier with the results and will definitely use her again on our next Maui adventure!
Because of Mariah’s inspirational site, and her great work, we have the most beautiful collection of wedding photos from my daughter’s wedding. Her work make a small, intimate wedd...
ing seem grand and more memorable than we could have asked for. Because of her referrals through the planning process, the day was perfect and my daughter was happy, which is all a Mom and Dad could ask for.
We regularly vacation in Maui, and once we got engaged we knew it would be the perfect place to get some photos. We found Mariah through a Google search and instantly fell in love...
with her style. Mariah made our session so easy. We instantly felt at ease with her and she gave us great direction. She was extremely professional and efficient and knew just where to take us to get amazing shots. She even graciously stayed late with us on a Friday evening to go to one last location. She delivered our gallery notably ahead of schedule, and the pictures are amazing! We will cherish the images for the rest of our lives and will look forward to our next occasion for pictures with Mariah when in Maui. Highly recommended!
Mariah is an amazing photographer. From the moment you meet, she will make you feel comfortable and at ease. She is able to capture the light and love of your wedding day. Immed...
iately after our elopement, we hiked a lava trail and jumped from a sea cliff in our wedding attire. Mariah was up for the adventure and captured all of these special moments. Mariah was the perfect choice for us!
Mariah's tagline on her website is "moments of light and love," and that is truly what she delivers with her photography. Having worked with many photographers over the years (as a...
bridesmaid, in my wedding, and in numerous family shoots), Mariah glows with talent (and it's not just her pink hair!). We were in Maui to celebrate my mother's retirement and Mariah's photos captured the joy of celebrating this momentous occasion. Our shoot occurred on an overcast Maui day, but Mariah's photos radiate light and love. They feel warm and intimate and I found myself smiling, laughing, and tearing at the photos as I went through my photo gallery. Her photos provided a range of poses: posed and spontaneous photos for each member of the family. She also captured unique details and perspectives that I never imagined were possible. My 2.5 year old toddler was not in the greatest mood, but you wouldn't be able to tell from these photos. Mahalo for capturing this special trip for my family.
Mariah is a perfect representation of Maui itself - genuine, kind, laid back, knowledgeable, flexible and easy to get to know!
I found her on Instagram (AND she was referred by t...
he Westin Maui concierge) and it was a no brainer to book her after seeing her amazing work online.
In the weeks and days leading up to the engagement picture session, she sent several e-mails with tips about the booking as well as overall Maui guidance. Her restaurant recommendations were on point! She also gave us special Hawaiian knowledge during the shoot as she grew up on the island is very passionate about Maui.
We loved taking our engagement photos with her and highly recommend booking a session for any special life event! She captures raw emotion and works wonders with the natural lighting.
I love Mariah so much. She has taken our family portraits two times now on the awesome island of Maui. Her work is so incredible and she captures the best in everyone. In addition ...
to my own personal sessions, I also was a guest at a wedding that Mariah was photographing. Her husband, Peter was the officiant and they make an amazing team. During the wedding, the most beautiful double rainbow came out and the photos I am sure are to be incredible. I saw a preview of a couple shots and my mouth literally dropped. Her work is that good.
Mariah is just an amazing photographer and is such a pleasure to do business with. Her photos are stunning and sessions are super fun! She captures our family's personality and cr...
eates great moments and we cherish not only the photos but the memories. We have used her for vow renewal wedding anniversary sessions on the beach twice and are hooked.

is amazing. My kids also enjoyed the experience because she makes it fun and casual.
Our family of 12 recently did photos with Mariah. We had a great time doing what can sometimes be such a painful
process, especially when you have 6 young children do deal with. ...
Mariah did such a great job capturing everyone's personalities in such a relaxed way. We would highly recommend Mariah, and we will use her again in the near future!!
I should preface this by saying I often have to do photoshoots in my line of work and have worked with many photographers around the country. My husband and I came to Maui for our ...
honeymoon a few weeks ago and decided to schedule a photoshoot with Mariah after being impressed by the stunning photos on her Instagram page. We knew we wanted to capture some of our honeymoon! Look NO FURTHER for an amazing photographer than right here. I would highly recommend Mariah to anyone looking to get some beautiful photos for literally anything - their wedding, anniversary, honeymoon, engagement, etc. She is so talented and turns everything into magic through her lens. She grew up in Maui and has lived their her whole life, so she is a TRUE local! Because of this, she knows the most beautiful (and secret) spots for shooting, is so knowledgable about Maui culture, is able to share inside info on where to eat/where not to, which makes the experience that much more authentic. She is so caring and professional and direct, yet still laid-back. She even sends cute little tip emails leading up to the shoot so you feel prepared! During the shoot, she directs you and leads you into moments and poses so you never feel awkward. I can't say enough amazing things about Mariah. Thank you so much for giving us photos and memories that we will cherish for a lifetime!!!
Mariah was just amazing. She made my fiancé and I so comfortable, it was like we had all known each other forever. She is so talented and easy to work with that our engagement shoo...
t in Maui easily became one of our favorite memories from the trip. I was searching everywhere for an island photographer to capture this special time and I can't imagine working with anyone else. We wanted amazing pictures, but didn't want to spend all day taking them. Mariah knew exactly where to take us for exactly what we wanted and we got the EXACT photos we wanted in under an hour. Not only did our pictures come out I.N.C.R.E.D.I.B.L.E. but Mariah even gave us some island history that we will be using in our wedding vows. Overall, if you are in Maui and looking for the most precious souvenir - I couldn't recommend Mariah more!!
She was working with her husband, which I thought was great! They were really nice and even helpful. They also made us feel very comfortable! I just wish there were more family pho...
tos, I do understand though that it's difficult to control people at weddings lol, but I think it would help if she's a little bit more firm, she was really sweet and nice hehe, but other than that, she did a good job, and results were beautiful.
