Behind The Lens Maui

First timers in Maui. First timers having a professional photo session as a family of 3. First time meeting Nicole and Trevor. We love love love love our pictures. Nicole was great with our son. She made the session so much fun that he was able to give her the best smiles ever. Trevor was wonderful. From the first moment we met him and welcomed us to Maui to the end of the session he had a smile on his face, we can tell he loves his job. Each picture

is just as better as the first. Nicole is our new to go person for family pictures in Maui. I highly recommend Behind The Lens Maui. I give it a 10+

Behind The Lens did an awesome job taking engagement photos in Maui for me and my fiance! Nicole, the owner, was great to work with. She guided us through the entire process. We loved our pictures - the clarity and backgrounds made each pic look like a beautiful post card! We will definitely have them take our wedding photos too next year. We highly recommend Behind The Lens to everyone!! Neal & Liane - Irving, TX

Nicole Sanchez is an amazing photographer and made our special wedding day a day to remember. Nicole helped with providing recommendations for the location, minister, and even hair and make up for the day. I didn't have a co-ordinator as Nicole gave me so many tips we didn't need one and she made my preparations stress free! Her photos were fantastic and she captured our personalities through the lens! I would highly recommend to anyone wanting something special, we have a beautiful album that we will cherish for years!!

PHENOMENAL - HIGHLY RECOMMEND

My husband and I couldn't have been blessed with a better photographer to capture our special day than Nicole Sanchez and her staff at Behind the Lens Maui. Nicole was matched with us through our wedding coordinator, Faye Hovey of Aloha Maui Weddings, alongside our videographer, Wangdu of Wedding Movies Maui. Nicole is, most importantly, phenomenally talented. She has a natural eye for her art that captured the most intricate moments of each stage of our wedding. She's professional, friendly, engaging, and worked with us and the rest of our wedding team to reflect our personalities in every photo. We had our initial photos to view online in about a week after our wedding day. Moreover, we were so impressed with the photos that she captured that we just couldn't pick out the amount we had paid for as part of our wedding photo package. So we decided to purchase all of them. Nicole was so communicative, expedient, and professional in making sure we received everything in a timely manner and were completely satisfied. As far as my husband and I are concerned, Nicole Sanchez is the best. We simply cannot speak any more highly of her, and we strongly recommend her to capture your special day. You will be so glad you did because you will marvel at her work, and you will have a treasure trove of captured memories to take with you on your new journey.

Nicole definitely made us feel so comfortable on our very special wedding day. She makes you feel as if she is not realty there taking photos so that you relax and have a good time and therefore she is able to get some really beautiful, natural and candid shots! She literally crawls through sand and bushes to get all the best angles. If I had to make the tough choice of choosing a wedding photographer again, it would definitely be Nicole over and over again! She is fair priced, no hidden fees and the process to view and get your photos is easy and seamless. Nicole thanks so much for making our unforgettable day truly unforgettable!!

You have to book a photo shoot with Nicole. Also see if she will bring her daughter ( Mele) along as she is a great addition to the entire experience. Well worth every penny, minute, second, hour. It was the top 3 of our expereiences in Maui. We have great pics to show for our great trip.

We got married in Maui in December 2012 and Nicole, owner of Behind the Lens Maui was our Maui Wedding Photographer. I guess everyone chooses a wedding planner first but when I checked Nicole's work, it was love at first sight so I first decided for the photographer. Nicole is so talented, professional but also very fun to be with it. Nicole started communicated with me since the very beginning on a daily bases. She promptly replied to all of my emails, advised on both shooting locations (apart from the wedding itself that took part in the morning, we also wanted to have a sunset shooting), restaurant for wedding reception. Also, she advised us not to be lazy and get up early in the morning so the ocean will have a bright blue color instead of gray color in the evening.

The pictures that came out are just breathtaking. All our friends and family are complimenting on the photos - the colors are breathtaking, poses very unique and the background is so exotic.

Originally we decided to have 2 shootings and 60 photos all together. However, after the photos came out we just could not decide as one photo was better than the other. Finally, Nicole, such a good hearted woman, offered to upgrade to all 900 photos for a very reasonable fee. Nicole is not only a God gifted photographer and easy person to work with, she has also become our a very true friend. We (me and my husband and another 4 couples) had such a good time with Nicole that we would highly recommend her to anyone. All my single friends want her to be their Maui wedding photographer! :-)

My husband and I recently got married in Maui, and Sue from Behind the Lens Maui was our photographer for our small ceremony on the beach. From the start, she was friendly and professional. I normally don't enjoy having my picture taken, but Sue made me feel very comfortable, so that I could just enjoy the ceremony and not worry about how I looked. She had a lot of enthusiasm, and let me know that the shots were turning out beautifully. She never made me feel like we were being rushed, and she was willing to take shots that I suggested. We received the gallery quickly, after only about 6 days, and we were very happy with our pictures. We had originally paid for 80 photos, but quickly realized that we wouldn't be able to cut it down to 80 from all the wonderful pictures. Then we started working with Nicole, and she was also a pleasure to work with. She was very quick to respond to my emails and sent us the files to our pictures within a day of us sending her our final selections. Overall, we were extremely happy with the pictures and the service we received from Behind the Lens Maui, and we would recommend them without hesitation.

We were looking for a wedding photographer in Maui and came across a number of good reviews for Nicole Sanchez at Behind the Lens Maui Photography (behindthelensmaui.com). We emailed her along with several other photographers and we were impressed by her prompt and detailed response. We followed up with other emails and phone calls, and continued to be impressed with how personable Nicole was, so we decided to contract with her, and we are glad we did!

This was a second marriage for both of us, so we decided the wedding would be just the two of us, on the beach. We only needed a photographer for an hour, but despite the very small size of our ceremony Nicole gave as more personal attention than we could have possibly wished for.

Prior to the wedding day she helped pick out the exact location on the beach for the best pictures. For the wedding day itself Nicole was very flexible about where to take pictures. At the last minute we decided to take some pictures on the hotel property (we received permission prior) as we walked down to the beach and Nicole was willing to do whatever we wanted, as well as suggesting spots to stop and take pictures.

Our fee for Nicole’s services covered one hour of photography, but Nicole offered to give us all the time we needed with no upcharge. We kept her busy for a little more than an hour, but at no time did we ever feel rushed in the slightest. We were comfortable every moment we were with her – she was fun and relaxed.

We were pleasantly surprised when we received an email from Nicole after the wedding letting us know our proofs were ready for viewing several days ahead of when we expected them. And Nicole’s pictures were fantastic. We had a hard time deciding which ones to choose there were so many good pictures.

Nicole is not only a top notch photographer, but she is also a wonderful person and she is a true professional. We loved her and would recommend her to anyone going to Maui.

My mom desperately wanted to get family photos done on our trip to Maui this past November while everyone, including Grandkids were together. After a lot of research we decided on going with Nicole and Behind the Lens Maui, and we couldn't be happier. Nicole was prompt, helpful & adaptable in all her emails prior to our session. During photo time she was great with the kids and took amazing photos! She far exceeded our expectations and all for an affordable price. We would recommend her to anyone and everyone!

Nicole photographed our Trash the Dress session in August while we were on honeymoon and absolutely exceeded our expectations. She is a very talented photographer, such a sweet person and her work speaks for itself. Nicole's fun approach definitely made it easy to pose in public. She was very helpful during the planning process, suggesting locations and times to capture the best Maui photography had to offer. We planned the shoot at a beautiful stretch of beach in Wailea and took some amazing pictures. We had tons of fun too! We felt at ease with her right away, and most importantly she truly captured us. She didn't just pose us and take the standard photos, she let us move and do things that were natural to us and you can see the genuine love in our photos because of this. Afterwards, her service was quick and the results were truly stunning. Not only are Nicole's images out of this world, but she is also one of the warmest kind hearted people we have ever had the pleasure of meeting.

My husband and I were pleased to have chosen Behind The Lens Maui as our Maui wedding photographer. Behind The Lens Maui not only provided excellent affordable photography packages, but also provided a small wedding package.. which was what my husband and I were looking for!

Behind the Lens Maui handled everything from A to Z.. from coordinating the marriage license.... down to great places to eat and sites to see during our trip to Maui. Nicole was always available to answer any questions we may have had via email, text or telephone.. and even answered questions for us before we asked!! We were linked to other vendors and were just as satisfied with their service provided. Coordinating services from afar can be a bit stressful.. but I knew that I was getting quality service if the referral came from Behind The Lens Maui!

Nicole captured such beautiful moments of my wedding that will be with me and my husband forever! Thanks a bunch!!

Hello Morgan, I am glad to express my deepest gratitude to you for arranging such a wonderful Maui wedding for us. Both I and my partner can never forget your warm behavior all through our staying there. About the photos and the video, everything was superb. In particularly the picture you took near the beach was just marvelous. We walked barefooted on the sea shore with hands in hand. You capture this moment n your video in a very comfy way. The photos and the videos show how professional you are. The accommodation was perfect. The reception arrangement was also perfect. My wedding ceremony was completed in time, thanks to http://www.mauius.com/.



Always,

I've had the pleasure of hiring Nicole as my lead photographer here on Maui, for an outdoor, water SUP event for 400 women this January. Her leadership skills, professionalism and of course her abilty to capture the most exciting an beautiful moments was quite evident. I encourage you to work with Nicole. If you'd like to contact me and ask me more about her services and work, simply go to www.standuppaddlingfitness.com or e:suzie@suzietrainsmau. Aloha, Suzie Cooney, CPT‎ Suzie Trains Maui

We loved the time and effort Nicole put into our wedding pictures. She was very creative, kind and fun to be around. She made us feel comfortable and I have no doubt that we made the best choice in choosing a photographer.

as a wedding coordinator, i have used nicole for numerous clients weddings for years, and she always exceeds expectations and makes me look great! when i was looking for someone to shoot some family photos, i turned to nicole, and i knew she would do a great job, but i had no idea just how good. the photos we got back knocked my socks off! my 5 year old daughter usually plasters on a huge fake "cheese!" smile when the camera gets turned on her, but nicole quickly got her relaxed, natural, and let the real smiles come out. her setups were creative, artful, and spontaneous. and the product she gave us (DVD slideshow set to music) was an absolutely beautiful keepsake that we were able to easily share with our whole family and will really cherish forever. and her rates are so reasonable that setting up a photoshoot with her for a special event, vacation momento, or just a family keepsake is a no brainer. i highly recommend. thanks nicole! you're the best!

Most people that end up needing a photographer on Maui are here for a once in a lifetime event. Surfing giant waves or getting married you only get one shot at getting the perfect pictures.



Nicole captured everything we hoped for and more during our photoshoot! She was fun to work with and made it easy for us to get comfortable and have fun.



If you only get one chance at getting the perfect picture make sure you call Nicole at Behind The Lens Maui before you visit Maui!



Thanks Nicole!!!
