Meet Maici- Your Wedding Photographer

“No one can get over how awesome you guys were, or how beautiful the photos are”

The Heart

A love letter from my heart, to yours

Why do I do this? Because life moves fast. Moments become memories in the blink of an eye, and when they do, photos are all we have left to hold onto.

I’ve built my life around capturing these fleeting moments of love, connection, and celebration because they matter—they’re what we carry with us forever. Documenting weddings in Hawaii feels like second nature to me; the islands’ vibrant energy and stunning beauty align seamlessly with my bold, emotive style.

As a deeply rooted empath, I feel every ounce of love and joy on your day, and it’s my privilege to reflect that in your photos. Being part of your story—witnessing, feeling, and preserving it—is a responsibility I don’t take lightly.

You deserve photos that capture not just how your wedding looked but how it felt. That’s what drives me: the honor of transforming your moments into timeless, artful memories that will inspire you every day moving forward.

Why Maici?

What sets me apart from other wedding photographers? 

  • Your love story, your way.
    I don’t just take photos—I create a space where your love story unfolds naturally. Whether it’s an intimate glance, a heartfelt laugh, or a fleeting touch, I capture what makes your connection uniquely yours.

  • A partner in your wedding journey.
    Think of me as more than just your photographer—I’m your guide, sounding board, and cheerleader. From planning advice to day-of support, I’m here to help you feel grounded, confident, and free to enjoy every moment.

  • Inspired by Hawaii’s soul.
    The islands are more than a backdrop—they’re part of the story. My photography is shaped by Hawaii’s vibrant landscapes, warm light, and soulful energy, blending your love with the essence of these beautiful places.

  • Every moment matters.
    I believe your wedding isn’t just about the “I dos.” It’s about the laughter at your welcome dinner, the quiet excitement of getting ready, and the joy of celebrating with your favorite people. I’m here for all of it.

  • Authentic storytelling meets timeless artistry.
    I combine a deep sense of empathy with a bold, emotional approach to create images that feel alive. The result? Photos that don’t just remind you of your wedding day—they bring you right back to it.

“I just feel like I should tell you how much I appreciate you and the experience you gave us. I truly could not have asked for better. You made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera”

Who is Maici?

photos, tattoos, & tacos obsessed

When I’m not behind my camera or computer you can find me at the beach. Plain and simple. I love to journal especially with the sun beaming on me and the ocean breeze kissing my skin.

I was born and raised in Bend, OR with a burning passion to travel and tell stories. Before I even graduated high school I started exploring Costa Rica, Canada and Hawai’i by myself - on my own dime. After school I started traveling a lot more internationally. Somehow I managed to land myself in the middle of the Pacific Ocean on a giant rock and I am completely content.
