Frank Bernasek Photography exceeded my expectations.I booked a last minute session near the end of my trip and he was so accommodating. It rained on and off all the afternoon of the photoshoot and we almost called it off because it was raining when we met up. Frank suggested we reschedule, but because we have 2 young children to prep for the shoot, we asked to give it a try and rebook only if necessary. Frank was very accommodating and we ended up doing whole photoshoot (luckily the rain let up!)The photos turned out beautifully , everyone looks so natural! I was so worried because my children were so grumpy but he was still able to capture some good moments and candid shots.I was also surprised by how fast the turnaround time was.To my knowledge this is a husband wife team and so you won't have varying photographers and the results will be consistent.Definitely recommend !!

I cannot recommend Lisa enough! Our engagement shoot was a complete surprise for me, and she did an amazing job helping my fiancé keep everything a secret. She gave clear directions throughout the planning process and made everything go so smoothly.From the moment we met her, Lisa was incredibly kind, thoughtful, and easy to talk to. She made me feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, which is saying a lot because I’m usually awkward taking photos! She was efficient, confident, and clearly knew exactly what she was doing while still making sure we were enjoying the moment together.When we got our photos back, I was absolutely blown away. They turned out even better than I could have imagined, and they’re something we will cherish forever. She also had a quick turnaround time, which was such a nice surprise.One thing I really appreciated was the number of photos we received. It wasn’t too few where you felt like you were missing moments, and it wasn’t so many that it became overwhelming to look through them. It was seriously the perfect amount, with so many beautiful shots to choose from.If you’re looking for a photographer who is talented, professional, and genuinely cares about her clients, I would recommend Lisa to absolutely anyone. We are so grateful for her and couldn’t be happier with our experience!

We highly recommend Frank Bernasek Photography! My husband and my daughter’s boyfriend are notoriously difficult to photograph and usually aren’t excited about being in front of a camera, but Frank put them at ease almost immediately. The entire session felt relaxed and natural, which made for some truly great photos.The pictures turned out beautifully, communication was easy, and the turnaround time was incredibly fast. Frank made the whole process simple and stress-free from start to finish. If you’re looking for a talented photographer who can make even reluctant subjects feel comfortable, Frank is an excellent choice.

Frank Bernasek Photography created an amazing photo shoot for our family of 11. Frank did a "Frank"-tastic job of making everyone feel comfortable and it really shows in the photos. They are great and captured the Maui magic majestically! The early morning session left us with the rest of the day to enjoy other activities. We are thrilled with the finished gallery and slideshow and would definitely use Frank Bernasek Photography again. Also, we want to thank Lisa (who we booked with over the phone) for suggestions on how to best schedule our time on Maui. It was perfect! - The Whites, Bowens and Chaneys from Oklahoma

Aloha! We are Frank and Lisa, a husband and wife team of professional Maui photographers based in Lahaina. With a passion for storytelling and a deep love for this island, we specialize in family portraits, engagement sessions, couples photography, surprise proposals, and intimate weddings — all set against Maui's most breathtaking beaches and landscapes. Our relaxed, fun approach means you'll actually enjoy your photo session, and walk away with images you'll treasure forever.

Perfect for couples, small families, or a quick vacation keepsake. In 30 minutes, we'll capture stunning portraits at one of Maui's most beautiful beach locations. You'll leave with a full gallery of professionally edited photos — no stuffy posing, just genuine moments. The Aloha Package is our most popular family photography session — a relaxed, 30-minute shoot at one of our favourite beach locations in Lahaina, Kapalua and all of Maui perfect for families of up to 8. No stiff poses, no one shouting "say cheese." Just your family, a beautiful Maui beach, and Frank or Lisa guiding you through it all with plenty of laughs along the way. Whether you're on a family vacation, a multigenerational trip, or just want to capture this season of life on the most beautiful island in the world, this session is designed to be the highlight of your trip — not a chore. You'll walk away with 50–60 professionally edited images and a 4K downloadable slideshow, ready to share with everyone back home. Perfect for: families with young kids, multigenerational groups, vacation portraits, and anyone visiting Maui who wants more than just phone snapshots.

Our most popular session for families visiting Maui. One full hour gives us time to explore the beach, capture group shots, individual portraits, and all the candid in-between moments that make your photos feel real. Perfect for families of 8 to 12. This is our go-to session for medium-sized families and multigenerational groups who want more than just a quick snapshot. A full hour means we can cover the whole group together, smaller family units, the kids on their own, grandparents with grandkids — all the combinations that matter — without anyone feeling rushed. Frank and Lisa are experts at managing bigger groups and keeping the energy fun and relaxed throughout. They know exactly how to position everyone for the best light, how to get natural smiles out of even the most camera-shy family members, and how to move efficiently so you get maximum variety from your session. You'll receive 80–100 professionally edited images and a 4K downloadable slideshow delivered to an online gallery, ready to download and share with the whole family. Perfect for: multigenerational families, larger family groups of 8–12, family reunions, and milestone vacations in Maui.

Our Ohana Package is designed for large groups of 13 to 20. We'll spend 90 minutes capturing everyone — from the grandparents to the littlest ones — across multiple setups so nobody gets left out of the frame. If you're bringing 13 to 20 people to Maui, this is the session that does your group justice. At 90 minutes, you have plenty of time to capture the full group, every family unit within it, the grandparents, the cousins, the kids on their own — all the combinations that make a big family trip worth remembering. Frank and Lisa have extensive experience photographing large extended families and groups on Maui's beaches. They know how to move a big group efficiently, keep the energy fun (not chaotic), and still find the quiet, genuine moments that make a photo gallery truly special. You'll receive 100–130 professionally edited images and a 4K downloadable slideshow — more than enough to share with every branch of the family tree. Perfect for: extended family reunions, multigenerational vacations, large family milestones, and any group of 13 to 20 visiting Maui who wants professional photos to remember the trip by.

Ready to pop the question in paradise? Our Maui proposal photography package is designed to make your moment as magical — and perfectly captured — as possible. Choose from two options: a classic beach proposal where one of us hides nearby to document the entire surprise as it unfolds, or our stunning flower heart centerpiece setup, where we source fresh local blooms and arrange a romantic floral display on the beach before you arrive. After the big moment, we stick around for candid and posed portraits together to celebrate. Your partner will never suspect a thing — and you'll have breathtaking photos of the moment they said yes, forever.

Whether you're honeymooning, celebrating an anniversary, or just want gorgeous photos together on the most beautiful island in the world — this session is for you. Our Maui couples photography session is 30 minutes of pure fun at one of our favorite beach locations in Lahaina. No awkward posing, just the two of you enjoying the moment while we work around you capturing the real thing: a laugh, a look, a quiet moment with the ocean behind you. You'll walk away with a full gallery of professionally edited images that actually look like you — and feel like Maui.

Say "I do" on one of the most beautiful beaches in the world — with everything taken care of for you. Frank Bernasek Photography's Maui wedding package is designed for couples who want an intimate, stress-free beach ceremony without having to coordinate a dozen different vendors. Frank and Lisa handle the photography, the beach permit, and help you navigate the marriage license process — so you can focus entirely on each other. Choose from stunning beach locations across Maui, including Wailea, Lahaina, and Kapalua. Whether you're planning an intimate elopement with just the two of you, or a small celebration with close family and friends, we tailor every detail to your vision. The package includes a full 1-hour ceremony and photo session, 80–100 professionally edited images, a 4K downloadable slideshow, your beach permit, and access to our preferred minister list. Flowers are available as an add-on. From the moment you book, Frank and Lisa are your point of contact for every question — no impersonal planning portals, no unanswered emails. Just two people who genuinely love what they do, on an island made for love.
