We’re a crew of artists, romantics, and slightly obsessed visual storytellers who believe that wedding photography should feel as alive as the day itself. Each person on our team brings something different to the table—different eyes, different instincts, different obsessions—but we’re united by one thing: an unapologetic devotion to capturing love in its most raw, cinematic, and magnetic form.

We don’t just assign photographers—we pair you with someone who fits. Someone who gets your vibe, understands your energy, and can move through your day like they were meant to be there. It’s not luck; it’s intentional. That connection is everything, and it’s how we make sure you feel fully seen, totally at ease, and lowkey obsessed with your final gallery.

This isn’t a production line, and we’re not here to check boxes. We show up with cameras and chaos-calming energy, ready to catch the in-betweens, the quiet glances, the “did that just happen?” moments. We collaborate, adapt, and create with intention—so your final gallery isn’t just a collection of pretty images. It’s a visual narrative, pulsing with the feeling of your day. And maybe a little film grain, too 

From crying toddlers, he went on to taking tableside photos at a fancy seafood restaurant (he was literally the guy who would interrupt your romantic dinner to ask if you wanted to buy a photo, pre-smart phone), and then worked at the Hyatt Maui doing beach family sessions. He shadowed photographers, and eventually opened his own photography studio, JMC Photography Maui.

 

Born and raised in Hawaii, John started his photography career as a mall Santa photographer. He had fine art aspirations, but quickly realized that breaking into that world as a broke (but ambitious) 18-year-old was about as likely as showing up in Hollywood and immediately booking an Oscar-winning role.
