We are so thrilled with the engagement photos that Gordon and Mami took of us at the beautiful secret cove. We came across Gordon's photos while searching for photographers on the Internet and could not stop coming back to them again and again. Something just captured us above any other pictures that we had seen so we knew we had to book Gordon to take our photos.
Thank you Gordon and Mami for making the experience so memorable and we cannot wait for you to shoot our wedding photos.

When my husband and I started planning our wedding the first item was finding a photographer. Living thousands of miles away I was a little worried about who we would find. After searching the internet we kept coming back to the photography of Gordon Nash. I loved the feel of the pictures we saw and knew that he really took pride in his talent of photography. Even though we were working with Kelly from Perfect Paradise Wedding, Gordon was more than happy to photograph our wedding.
On our wedding day it started pouring rain just before the ceremony was to begin. Of course, being the bride, all I could think of was "Our pictures will be ruined". Getting out of the car at the beautiful Kukahiko Estate, Gordon greeted me and reassured me that the pictures would be beautiful and the lighting was perfect. Throughout the ceremony it continued to sprinkle and with the help of Gordon's assistant, Sebastine holding an umbrella, he was able to capture all the shots. Al Terry, our officiant, did an great job of performing our ceremony and Derick Sebastian played wonderful music on the ukulele.
One of the pictures that I remember seeing on Gordon's website was from a beach at sunset. Kelly recommended a beach near by and with the rain moving in we needed to hurry. Once at the beach we had just enough time to snap a few photo's and then it started pouring. Sebastian held the umbrella over the camera and just as the sun set, amazing photo's were captured. Needless to say we were all soaked! I am so appreciative that Gordon was able to put aside the weather and still capture the moment.
After receiving the photos I was just blown away. With Gordon Nash's gifted talent of photography and Mami Horie's amazing editing, we ended up with gorgeous photos of our wedding day! Thank you so much for making our day beautiful and one we will never forget!

From the beginning on arrival in Maui it was smooth sailing. Our wedding coordinator,Jayanne, was checking in on us with confirmations. Obtaining our marriage license was a breeze. The day of the wedding my hair stylist,Liz,made my hair&make-up perfect and it held up in the humidity all evening. Our wedding was so stress free! We were really worried about our 18-month old daughter during the ceremony. Everyone was so kind and patient. We loved Ernest, our minister and how he mentioned her in our ceremony. John the guitarist stayed and played the whole time we were there. It was so nice of him. He entertained our guests and set the mood..loved it! Our photographers, Gordon and Mami, again were also very patient. The pictures were gorgeous! This team of people is worth their weight in GOLD! I have no regrets and hopefully one day when we come back for our anniversary we can experience this again. Just beautiful!

How do we describe the photos we received from our wedding vow renewal?...As the most spectacular photos we have ever had of us ever!! Never in our wildest dreams would I have thought they would have been so amazing. I was worried about trying to find a photographer and wedding planner from 1000s of miles away and after careful research we found Paradise Dreams and we can't thank them enough for the most amazing wedding renewal experience. Starting with Jayanne and ending with Gordon, Brian, Ernest and Mami we were treated with professionalism and love. We made treasured memories on that day and Paradise Dreams preserved those memories for us to enjoy for years to come. Aloha and Mahalo for making our dream wedding renewal experience so magical!

Initially, I was only looking for a photographer to capture our special day, but after reviewing different websites, and their photos, I kept coming back to Paradise Dream Wedding/Mauiwedding.net. Hands down they were the best in my eyes. After talking to Jayanne, our coordinator, I let her pick the location of the wedding site, and it was perfect. Upon arrival Shena greeted us, and made us feel at ease. Laki, our Officiant performed our ceremony was awesome. He will always be remembered as being a part of our big day. Mami, our photographer was awesome as well. Our pictures came out even more beautiful than expected. My husband and I wouldn't change a thing about our day, if we had to do over again. Thank you again...

Hi there Paradise Dream Team!
From the moment we first saw the Paradise Dream website, to the time we received our pictures, this was the most positive, exciting experience we could have imagined. We were sold based on the pictures we saw on the website, but the photos we received easily surpassed our expectations – Gordon and Sebastian were not just our photographers, but they were also a great team that helped us get the most from our time with them. Mami did a fantastic job touching up our photos to show us at our best! Our minister, Ernest, was warm and friendly, both in prayer and in song, and he took our ceremony to a level that we couldn’t have achieved otherwise. Our coordinator Jayanne was with us every step of the way – she provided us with all of the information we needed, and allowed us to customize a truly intimate vow renewal ceremony for our 10 year anniversary. We couldn’t be happier with the service provided by the Paradise Dream team! Thank you all!! Everything was and is fantastic!!

Dear Gordon,
Now we are back in Germany and are looking back to a wonderful wedding and honeymoon. The ceremony lead by Robert was really very nice, moving and special. We would like to thank Gordon and Mami very much for their creative and beautiful ideas that became very nice wedding pictures. It is great to have them as a memory to share our wonderful wedding experience with our friends and family in Germany. The experience organizing
a Maui wedding from Germany was really made pleasant by Jayanne. She has very useful advices. Thanks again to the complete team!
