When it comes to professional photography at your wedding, do not let anyone tell you it’s not worth it to spend money for quality! Tehani absolutely blew us away with her talent a...
nd attention to detail. I came across Water Gypsies Photography before I got engaged and I instantly knew that I wanted to have Tehani shoot my wedding one day. Although I knew she would be excellent, she absolutely exceeded all of our expectations! She made us feel completely ourselves in front of her lens and was able to capture such genuine and raw emotion in our photos. We can’t thank her enough for being such a big part of our wedding day!
There isn’t another photographer I would’ve chosen to photograph our wedding! She is incredible - both artistically and professionally. She responded quickly each time I messaged h...
er; she gave us fantastic recommendations (and since we’re not from Maui, it was beyond helpful and made it [a lot] less stressful). Even though we had never met before the wedding day, I felt so at ease with Tehani. She has a very calm and peaceful presence, which I was so thankful for! She was also wonderful at directing us - I couldn’t believe my husband and I could take such romantic pictures. Since we eloped, pictures were the most important element to our wedding. All our friends and family were stunned at the beautiful moments Tehani captured. She made me feel like the most beautiful bride on my wedding day! Tehani finished our pictures very promptly, which made us so happy that we could share with our loved ones so quickly! I would gladly go to Maui again just so that Tehani could photograph us, again!
Tehani was so much fun to work with. Our honeymoon shoot was unique and full of so many laughs, and we enjoyed every moment of it. She has a real eye for detail and we loved our im...

h many photographers. What sets Tehani apart is her free spirit, creating an inviting and very comfortable setting, her artistic eye and the ability to capture my 18 month old, very active daughter in a very memorable way. I am impressed with her professionalism and most importantly, the photos that will be forever treasured!

I am still in awe of working with Tehani!!! She is not only so incredibly kind but she is a phenomenal photographer. She makes you feel so comfortable and relaxed and truly embrace...
s capturing authentic spontaneous moments. She has the ability to capture photos that contain so much LIFE! I am someone who is usually not very pleased with pictures of myself after a shoot. However, with Tehani, she was able to capture a true authentic side of myself on camera and not just a perfectly posed and sterile photo. I believe it's a gift that is hard to find in many photographers. To top it all off, she made the shoot easy, breezy, and quick! She knew exactly what I wanted, knew where she would capture me best, and left me with an abundance of great photos I actually genuinely loved, all shot within a short period of shooting time. I was in and out and not a moment of time was wasted. All in all, Tehani has the artistic eye to capture the true authentic beautiful you in a photo while also having the professional ability to be incredibly efficient in the time she has with you in a session. She leaves you blown away with the amount of incredible photo selections you have after such an effortless, quick, and easy shoot. What I loved most was that I was able to just be myself with no pressure. Tehani not only sees the value and beauty in people being their authentic selves but she gives her all in capturing that inner beauty on camera--reminding those she shoots with that they are beautifully, effortlessly, and perfectly enough.
Tehani was amazing in every way! She made me feel so comfortable which resulted in stunning photos I will cherish forever!

ove with the organic moments she has a knack for capturing. Her photos emit emotion, which I think is a true gift. I saw she focused on weddings and couples, which I knew I wanted, as I was hoping to get some special photos of just my husband and I, and she certainly did just that! We couldn't be more happy with these memories that were captured, we will forever be grateful for these beautiful photos that proudly hang in our home that will be cherished forever! All the heartfelt thanks to the amazing Tehani (and her hubby) of Water Gypsies for such an incredible experience to the Twin Waterfalls and for capturing some of our favorite moments of our trip!
I hired Water Gypsies Collective to take my family photos during our summer vacation on Maui. My family is spread out all over the country so our annual vacation is significant in ...
many ways. We were all very impressed with Tehani's professionalism and how comfortable she made us feel in front of the camera (especially me who had just given birth 2 weeks prior and was not feeling in my prime) The session was fun and easy! Tehani had thought ahead already creating a photo list of who was going to take photos with who and making sure we captured every configuration of family members possible. The turn around time was much faster than any of us expected and we were elated with her work. In just a one hour shoot Tehani had managed to capture over 300 "keepers" and edit them beautifully. The link to see the Photos and download them was so simple and user friendly. She allows you to download them in lo-res and Hi-Res. There are so many photos that I love but one is my absolute favorite and I wanted to blow it up to such a large size that I needed the file in a larger MB which Tehani quickly provided me when I asked. We will definitely use this company again when my family comes back for another vacation!
Tehani was amazing!! She not only got our photos to us quick but the photos were beautiful!! She captured the style I was going for so well and you will not be disappointed! The en...
ergy and direction she gives you makes it really easy to be comfortable infront of her and the Camara too!
Tehani is one of the most fun photographers to work with. She sent me my photos so quick. Definitely recommend her 100%
