Maui Wedding Staff Profiles
Fine art wedding photographer, Gordon Nash lives with his family on the slopes of a verdant volcano on the tropical island of Maui, Hawaii.
Gordon first held a camera in his hands at ten years old. Instantly charmed by the magic of the Kodak Brownie inherited from his grandmother, he became infatuated with this tool that would later be instrumental in his life’s work. While at Trinity University, Gordon studied portraiture and opened his first photography studio and within months shot his first wedding at the young age of twenty two. After graduation, Gordon traveled the world in his 20's for adventure and knowledge and wound up it Tokyo where he was hired as a TV commercial producer. Producing and directing commercials gave Gordon a skill he would put to good use later directing thousands of wedding couples from around the globe.
Gordon spent his childhood on the beaches of Galveston, a resort island off the coast of Texas. After visiting Hawaii, Gordon decided to upgrade his island lifestyle by moving to Maui in 1997. On Maui, Gordon Nash established one of the first wedding photography & planning studios in the Hawaiian Islands. Today, Gordon continues to approach every photo shoot with vibrancy and excitement.
Named the "Maui Wedding Mogul" by Rangefinder Magazine, today Gordon works diligently in his wedding studio that has stood for photographic excellence for more than a decade. Gordon’s work has appeared in numerous magazine and books such as Nikon World, Rangefinder Magazine and multiple photography how to books published by Amherst Media. Regularly Nikon publishes his photos in various catalogs to advertise their wide range of digital cameras and lenses.
Mixing fashion, magazine editorial and photojournalism styles, Gordon photographs weddings at all the major resorts in Hawaii including the Four Seasons Lanai, Fairmont Kea Lani, Andaz and Wailea Marriott. Gordon is trusted by his clients to always raise the bar on his photography and produce portfolio quality images at every event. Capturing every precious moment for newlyweds is Gordon's life's work and he is devoted to his couple's by continually sharpening his photographic skills and techniques to bring them images that surpass their high expectations and industry standards.
Aloha!
I'm a Maui-based photographer originally from California, and I've been photographing professionally since 2005. My love for photography began early, inspired by the beauty of nature and the world I discovered in the pages of National Geographic. That same sense of wonder now fuels my passion for capturing the unique moments and emotions of each couple I work with on their special day.
For me, wedding photography is about more than just taking great pictures—it's about connecting with people. I aim to make my clients feel comfortable and let their personalities shine through, capturing authentic moments rather than staged ones.
I look forward to creating something special for you! 😊
