About this vendor
I think marriage is incredible
My approach to wedding photography is quite different from the norm I believe. I seek out raw moments - happy smiles, hands holding tight to one another, joyful tears and so on. I really look to gain your trust enough that you will just forget I'm there and let me tell your story.

Rodrigo and his team were AMAZING and more than we could have ever hoped for as our photographers and videographers of our destination wedding in Maui in February! Rodrigo listened...
to what I wanted to capture on our big day and delivered with flying colors! Their energy, friendliness and expertise made it so easy and comfortable to be photographed and filmed and they knew just how to capture each special moment during the day. I spent so long admiring his photos and wondering how our photos might turn out and after seeing our sneak peek photos, I am blown away! Rodrigo's lighting and editing is so unique and memorable and in our photos it perfectly captures the joy, fun and happiness of the day. 11/10 you absolutely MUST book Rodrigo for your wedding photography and videography.
We hired Rodrigo for our elopement in Maui and we can't put words to describe how happy we are with the photos!! He made us feel beyond comfortable with him, having never met him b...
efore our wedding day. His editing and the shots he got of us are incredibleeee!!! Literally the best decision we made was hiring him!! 100000% recommend!!!
Rodrigo is not just a photographer... but a true artist!! His work is unbelievably stunning, and we were completely blown away at how beautiful each and every photo is. He is also ...
a great director, as my husband and I didn’t really have a clue on how to pose, or where to stand, etc. But Rodrigo was so professional and made sure to set us up for some of the most amazing photos we’ve ever had taken. We couldn’t have asked for anything more as he honestly went above and beyond our expectations. Highly recommend Rodrigo for any memories that you want captured. He will not disappoint.
Choosing Rodrigo as our wedding photographer was the best decision we made. Seriously. From the first look, to the ceremony, to small details, to tiny intimate moments, I’m amazed ...
at how much was captured. Even better, with a small wedding of 28 people, we never felt there was a camera on us the entire time. Pure magic! We also had Rodrigo do our wedding video, the shots & music of that day go together perfectly in the video, and definitely brought some tears. We had so much fun watching it on our honeymoon and reminiscing.
Rodrigo also took our engagement photos in Seattle, in the snow. It was great to meet him before the wedding, and the photos were equally as fun and special as our wedding day. We shot part at our home with our dogs, and part at park nearby. Rodrigo has a way of getting people who are less photogenic (me!) to be really natural in front of the camera, we were basically laughing the whole time and having fun. I love how candid the shots turned out, and we used the photos for our wedding guest book (they printed really well too).
In addition to the quality of our photos & video, we couldn’t be happier with the experience overall. Rodrigo is awesome at communicating and answering questions, from day 1, to after the wedding, and we really made a friend through the process.
All our wedding guests commented on how great Rodrigo and Noel (shooting video), were. Everyone who sees the photos is taken away by the style and feeling of them, how unique and nostalgic they are. I can’t wait to look back on these photos in 50 years, each one is like a perfectly captured memory.
We could not be happier, our hearts are full every time we look at our photos and video. And such a great experience - Thank you Rodrigo!
Rodrigo was an absolute dream to work with from start to finish. Rodrigo has a way of capturing the essence of who a person is through his photography. My husband is not big on tak...
ing pictures so it was really important that I found someone that can take beautifully “posed” family pictures but more importantly amazing candid shots. I explained to Rodrigo prior to the wedding this exact statement. He hit the nail on the head! He put my husband and our guests at ease. He has such a much needed calming presence in such a fun and chaotic day. He was great at directing everyone where to go and made sure to capture us and everyone at our wedding throughout the whole day. Beyond the beautiful candies he got, the scenery pictures and black and white photos he included were out of this world. For many of our friends and family a destination wedding in Hawaii was not something that everyone could come to. Through Rodrigo’s photos and video, they felt like they were right there with us. Rodrigo is the most amazing photographer that you will find anywhere. I’m seriously obsessed with my video and photography. Thank you so much Rodrigo for everything and the memories that we will be able to share with our kids one day. You were the best photographer and made our day so special.
Rodrigo is an amazing photographer! My husband and I could not have imagined our day without him! Everyone at our wedding spoke about how great he was! We received all of our photo...
s back quickly and even received a few the morning after our wedding! We are in love with our wedding photos and could not recommend Rodrigo more!
Rodrigo was such a dream to work with. From the very beginning he helped us discover what services I was looking for, always kept communication lines open, and had brilliant sugges...
tions to aid in capturing genuine and authentic emotions in our wedding photos. Our young son (1.5 years old) was with us on our wedding day and he absolutely adored Rodrigo. The three of us felt very comfortable and felt like a family friend was taking our pictures. Rodrigo's photos speak for themselves in their beautiful and thoughtful composition and his editing is just to die for. He captured the absolute sweetest moments and expressions from all of us. God has truly blessed him in photography. We are in love with our photos. Thanks Rodrigo!
Rodrigo was the absolute best part of our wedding! I can't recommend him highly enough. Our experience with Rodrigo planning beforehand was so seamless and easy that I had no stres...
s about him at all (and planned my wedding from CA without visiting!). He made everything so easy!
We started our first pictures with him at our rehearsal dinner! I know this seems like an added expense but I can't tell you how amazing it was to have pictures from that intimate night with our closest family and friends. It also helped my husband and I get used to being in pictures, and it helped our wedding party get to know him as well. He is so easy going he even makes shy people and kids comfortable in front of the camera and catches those important moments that pass by too fast during the wedding festivities. The rehearsal dinner photos are such a treat to have I'm so glad I decided to have him there!!
Now for the wedding day! He honestly couldn't have done anything different or better. He captured every fun moment, every happy tear, and every loving look that I will cherish forever. He made me feel pretty, and my husband calm, and when I got the photos back from him I just about died with happiness. They are so gorgeous!!! He was able to get our first look, wedding party, church ceremony, sushi cocktail hour, dinner, and drinks and dancing.
He was fun, professional, easy going, and just an absolute perfect fit for our wedding. I actually got a lot of compliments from guests about him being a great photographer that they felt comfortable around.
I can't recommend his services enough and am already scheming some excuse to get back to Maui to work with him! The wedding goes by so fast you don't realize how much is going on until you get all the photos back and you get to relive all those beautiful moments. Thank you Rodrigo!
My fiancé, Jan and I just received the photos from Rodrigo for my surprise proposal/our engagement shoot, and all we could say was "wow"! We were left stunned on how absolutely gor...
geous the photos came out. Rodrigo was the ultimate professional when it came to communication, sharing my vision, and also directing us during our shoot.
We would highly recommend him to anyone, and we are hoping to work with home again in the future. Thank you for all your hard work, and keep it up! -Vlad & Jan
We had the pleasure of meeting Rodrigo in January 2016 when we hired him to do our engagement/save the date photos. He chose a beautiful location and captured many beautiful shots....
Working with him was so wonderful that it was a no brainer when it came to choosing him as our wedding photographer as well.
On our wedding day Rodrigo and his assistant Stephanie were fantastic. They were professional, personable, and were fun to work with. They really did a great job capturing our day. Our photos are beautiful and every time we look at them we love them more and more.
We highly recommend Rodrigo Moraes Photography!

nervous the beautiful Maui colors wouldn't come through because of the clouds but was I wrong! Rodrigo you were the best. Thank you again for everything!!
We were SO impressed with Rodrigo Moraes Photography! We knew nothing about wedding photography, and he was recommended to us by the hotel we were getting married at and so we went...
with that. We literally just showed up at the time and place to get married and Rodrigo was there, ready, excited, and so lovely to work with. He gave us exactly the right guidance and ideas and was creative and is just amazing at what he does! I would HIGHLY recommend him anytime you need photos done. We got our wedding pictures back super fast and they were all so amazing!!!! He took his time and it was a very very hot day in Maui and we were all sweating but he never once rushed us and he offered up so many great ideas for shots. We couldn't be happier with the service we received and will use him again for sure anytime we are going to Maui and want any type of photography!!!
We highly recommend Rodrigo for anyone out there looking for natural beautiful photographs taken by the most kindest and detailed professional. He made our (eloped) wedding day fee...
l super personal and special, as though we had a friend with us all the way through. The communication was great and the photographs quickly sent through...and they are just STUNNING. We are so happy we chose Rodrigo and will forever thank him for helping telling our story.
Rodrigo was a great photographer and made sure everything went smoothly. He was on time and took all of the photos I wanted, plus a bunch of photos that I hadn't imagined. The phot...
o gallery was ready for us in only 3 weeks, way sooner than I expected. There were 400+ photos and each one was beautiful and really captured the special day.
Rodrigo is absolutely amazing. Not only did he take our wedding pics, he also did our trash the dress session. He took so many great pictures, its impossible to pic one favorite. ...
He delivered pictures that has completely exceeded our expectations. Rodrigo has a wonderful personality and aura that can make any couple feel comfortable. The question isn't if we're returning to Hawaii its when. And when we do we'll be contacting him for more picutures. My wife and I highly recommend Rodrigo for all your wedding photography needs. Mahalo Rodrigo for capturing great memorable photos that we will always. treasure.
