Penny Palmer Photography

eauty and the peaceful, romantic atmosphere and we celebrated our honeymoon here 40 years ago and it completely delivered. I set this up as a surprise for my husband and it was the best!  Darci helped me pull this off from the beginning! The ceremony was simple yet deeply meaningful. From the moment we arrived at the beach, everything felt serene and intentional. The conch shell, the Hawaiian blessing, the lei exchange, the rings blessing, the incredible flower circle and the sound of the waves — it all came together perfectly. Our officiant was warm and heartfelt, and the photographer (Penny Palmer Photography (Ian was amazing) captured every moment beautifully and the flowers just completed it all.  Working with Darci was so easy and she made the entire process effortless. Communication was great, and they helped us customize the ceremony to reflect our story. This vow renewal reminded us not just of the promises we made 40 years ago, but of the life we've built together since. It was emotional, joyful, and unforgettable. If you’re thinking about renewing your vows in Maui — do it. It's one of the most beautiful and intimate experiences we’ve ever had, and we’ll cherish it forever. 🌺💍

u so much for the hard work and dedication you and your team showed at our wedding! We can't stop looking over the photos!

at to work with and awesome people! Thank you again to Penny Palmer Photography we are so grateful! Highly recommended!!

made a better decision. Penny's passion for her photography and her couples truly shines through in her work. She perfectly captured the love and humor that resides between my husband and I and it comes through in every shot. She is a true artist and after working with her, I feel like I am not only a client but now a friend and family.

r daughter's wedding last weekend, I have just seen a sample of the pictures and already they are all so beautiful. We couldn't have asked for a kinder, more patient photographer with such attention to detail! Penny knew all the shots and angles and even had some really nice unusual first look photos for our daughter and her fiancé'. Penny is absolutely the best photographer on island! Such a pleasure to work with... despite all the devastation Maui had just incurred. Thank you Penny!! You helped make Lindsey and Bo's day special ! Big Mahalos !!!

nd, and took really beautiful photos. After the ceremony she directed us to take some really fun and special photos. We had so much fun and it was obvious she has done this a million times, she ran us through everything with ease. Thank you Penny!! These photos are a gorgeous memory that we will have forever.

ome great island info.

dn’t feel as if we were part of a photo shoot! It was natural and easy! She captured us as ourselves and in real moments we shared. She captured the most beautiful parts of the ceremony that were more beautiful in print than we had in our memory of that day! We couldn’t have been more pleased with our photos or the responsiveness of receiving them. If your reading this review. And want your day to be fun. Lighthearted and as easy as you can imagine!! Not to mention captured in print to be more beautiful than you remember.. then you found your photographer with penny Palmer photography! You will not be sorry.. I promise!

ed many professional photographers on the mainland and she is hands down THE BEST! I highly recommend that you make the right choice and have her capture your most special day.

onveyor belt photography service and were provided a breathtaking experience where we were catered to, explained, and put as the center of attention every step of the way. We were asked to provide a synopsis of our relationship prior to our vacation and were astounded when she recalled so many details, as if they she did her homework to tailor the experience to us with extreme precision. Exceeding expectation is an understatement. We can't recommend Penny enough!!!!

ment. The officiant was so sweet and made the ceremony feel so special. The photographer was very detail oriented and so nice as well! Couldn’t have asked for a better experience 😊

s photoshoot we did as well. Her pictures are captivating and breathtaking. What she can capture through her lens is truly amazing.

oes, she would get excited when she got the shot she was hoping for. Penny was patient and took her time to make sure we got the pictures that we dreamt of, also used lots of cool props to get some pretty amazing pictures. Thankyou SO much Penny! You are seriously amazing at what you do.

happy that we chose them to be a part of our special day. We will have these photos forever!

and very experienced, she knew exactly what to do and was giving great instructions. We definitely recommend Penny if you have to organize a wedding in Maui.

h I could relive this perfect day over and over again. Penny Palmer captured the most amazing photos that we got back SO quickly. I would highly recommend Darci with Aloha Maui Dream Weddings and Penny Palmer photography to anyone!!!

ers too. Incredible company

-free and magical. Being a gal who is rarely a fan of being in front of the camera, I was surprised at how well Nicole was able to capture real personality and smiles. I just went through my entire gallery with my husband, and we were smiling from ear to ear reliving the moment. The pictures look like something from a fairytale: beautiful colors, amazing lighting, and genuine love. I could not be happier!

hy! From painless planning, to flawless execution and breathtaking photos- the proof is in the details! From a distance, we felt a connection & knew we were in great hands! Having traveled from Florida, we had to blindly trust and put our Faith in their expertise and knowledge of the island! Thank God we did! From keeping a nervous groom calm during a freak storm and being flexible with locations to accommodate nature, Darci and Penny’s confidence and professionalism reassured this bride that my dream wedding would be absolutely perfect! AND THEY DELIVERED! We were blessed with the Hawaiian Wedding Trifecta- ⛈ 🐳 🌈- and they captured it all! A million MAHALO’s DONT GO ANYWHERE ELSE! You’ve stumbled on THE best of the best!

for us. She went above and beyond to ensure we felt at ease whilst always maintaining her professional approach. We did not give specific instruction to Penny, we allowed her to be creative and explore the kind of photographs she wanted to take, this was the best decision we could have ever made! Our photos did not look like your ‘typical’ staged and posed wedding photos, they are expressive, fun and romantic with the beautiful scenery and views captured exactly as we saw them (if not even better!). Thank you so much Penny, we are so privileged to say not only did we have the most incredible wedding photographer but we have also found a true friend in you!

t qualities for a wedding photographer, in my opinion, are 1) creating gorgeous photographs that truly capture the heart and spirit of the event, and 2) being unobtrusive in the process of creating those photos. And Penny excelled at both of these things. When we saw our photo album from her, we were blown away by the beauty of the pictures, the perfect exposures, backgrounds, and lighting....but most of all, the way she absolutely captured the magic of the day and the joy that we were feeling in those moments. Her photos were fluid, emotional, composed perfectly to capture the feeling of the shot....there were no stiff, formal (boring), lifeless photos. They were vibrant and alive and we can now relive the joy of our wedding day just by viewing our photos. Mahalo Penny! You were relaxed, fun, and truly so unobtrusive that we even forgot we were being photographed (the ultimate compliment to a wedding photographer!). Hire Penny...you won't be sorry and you won't need to worry about whether or not your pictures will be great! And, as an added bonus, her prices are phenomenal!

sure they were not included. Penny was our photographer she was so easy to be around and be ourselves. Darci was by our side the whole time letting us know what we would be doing, how things will happen and making sure we were on schedule. We wanted a sunset ceremony and everything went smoothly, we had a beautiful ceremony. We cannot thank Aloha Maui Dream Weddings enough for our special day.

in the way they could make a really meaningful pictures as we wanted , we'll never forget this special moment in our life, they make it unforgettable. Thank you so much to all their team for their amazing job

went, especially since we live far from Hawaii and it was my first time visiting so I didn’t know what to expect.

t the photos she every moment of the ceremony was there! After the official parted the ceremony was over, she guided us to take some really amazing shots at the beach where the ceremony took place. She was definitely very experienced and knew the right angles but at the same time she made it fun, and it shows on the photos. Penny Palmer Photography was included in our Aloha Maui Dream Weddings package but originally we only selected an option with viewing the full wedding gallery for 14 days and then picking the best 3 photos. We loved Penny’s photos so much that we decided to buy the whole gallery! The price was very reasonable for the the amazing high quality photos that we got. We already shared the photos with our family and friends and everyone loves them! Mahalo for your amazing work!

s we had, setting our minds at ease that they had everything handled and we didn't need to worry about anything because they had it all sorted! Our wedding day was perfect, Our Beach was the perfect location, our own little paradise. We loved how it was focused on our relationship, our trials during our time together. It made the ceremony so personal and knowing it was specific to us was lovely! We not only had an awesome wedding day we met two people who we were honoured to share our day with. The photo's told the story of our wedding so well, we are able to share our day with our family and friends even though they weren't there. Thank you so much Darci and Penny, we are so grateful!

a connection with both Darci and Penny that when our 5 year anniversary rolled around we didn't think twice to reach out to them to capture the special moment again for us! They are both the utmost of professionals and we would recommend them to anyone looking to plan a wedding or anniversary on Maui!

ond our expectations. I highly recommend Darci and her team to anyone that is planning on getting married in Maui! Penny was wonderful as well and the pictures came out amazingly. Mahalo!

but she blew away any preconceived notions of "elopement beach photos." My husband and I couldn't just pick a limited amount of them for our package we selected... we ended up buying them all. They were all just so good!

ur beach vow renewal ceremony at sunset that each and every frame tells perfectly just the story we hoped to tell. Every time my wife and I look at our pictures we feel transported back to that wonderful event. We are SO LUCKY to have found Penny to record this loving milestone in our lives. If you make use of her services you'll consider yourselves lucky too!

d knew exactly how to get just the perfect shot of the entire occasion. Would recommend her a million times over.

ng, such great quality. Penny captured our personalities and the best of us! We are just so happy with it all. MAHALO, PENNY!

to Imply that I never thought it would happen one day, it was just not something I pictured as a little girl. When Rob and I got engaged, I had NO IDEA where to even start! I joined all of the bridal email list to hopefully gain some clarity. It didn't work, lol. Overwhelmed doesn't even begin to touch on how I was feeling. After Rob and I decided that we would "elope" in Maui, it got even more overwhelming. How was I supposed to plan our wedding 4,605 miles away. I googled so many companies. I almost chose a different company until they sent me a sample wedding video. It made me cringe. I started focusing more on the reviews of these companies. I came across Aloha Maui Dream Weddings and loved the reviews I was reading. I reached out one night and the planning began. We put 100% blind trust in these women solely based on social proof and that is why I hope anyone reading this, that might be on the fence, chooses AMDW! From the start, Darci put my mind at ease. She was readily available for me whenever I wanted to talk, even with a 6hour time difference and anytime I started to panic, she would bring me back to normal and reassure that everything would be great! She scheduled our marriage license appt, she linked me up with Bea from Classic Elegance Artistry who made me feel like a princess and she made sure every single detail was perfect! We had an awesome unity sand ceremony that included my son, who also got a Lei during the Lei exchange. These 2 ladies then hiked almost a MILE down a cliff to accommodate a photo shoot that we really, really wanted. It was hot and uncomfortable but once we were down there, Penny was in her zone. She is so professional and so good at what she does. I could not have asked for more from these two! For the little girl who never dreamed about her wedding day, If I had, I am POSITIVE it was exactly how June 29th 2018 went. We are glad to have you both as our Ohana now! We love you! Mahalo!

ave more pictures by her when we go back to renew our wedding vowes!

arci (Aloha Maui Dream Weddings) said she had us covered and she most definitely did! She told us exactly what to do and made the picture taking so easy. My husband and I are not much into getting our pictures taken but we felt very comfortable and she definitely made us laugh along the way. Everything was perfect and these lovely women made it our dream wedding and we will forever be thankful! I can't wait to see the rest of the photos!! We love you! Mahalo!

leasure to meet her. Penny’s friendliness and stamina made the picture-taking easy and fun for everyone in our family. We highly recommend her reliable service and expertise.

Darci) made our wedding so much fun. They were not only our coordinators and photographer, but we felt like they were our friends there helping us celebrate such a wonderful day. Penny knew exactly when to take the shot and used different filters to make the shots perfect. She was so professional and we couldn't be happier with both the experience and the photos. She is amazing!! Thanks again Penny!!!

eative with our shots. We received our digital images SO quickly, within a week, not months like you wait for some other photographers. Highly reccomend!

ith kids. In our wedding shoot this past summer they made our ceremony hassle-free and meaningful, despite this is our first time being in wonder Hawaii. The results were incredible photographs that we will treasure forever.
