- 6088shenique0 contributionsBest Maui Photoshoot EVER!This was a great experience. Starting with the great customer service. Frank responded to me after I contacted him after business hours on a Wednesday evening. I was frantic b/c the one thing I wanted to make sure we did was to take family photos at Sunset on the beach and he only day we had available was Sunday to get it done. Frank got back to me immediately and scheduled our photo Session. Ian the photographer was AMAZING, the pictures were Organic and came out Beautifully . We even had time for a wardrobe change. He was able to capture great photos of my daughter who can be very challenging when it comes to pictures. Many thanks to the family that let us barrow their Puka beads (they left before we could return them). Thank you for the gift ☺️. This was a great overall experience and I highly recommend this business to anyone looking for a great affordable photography session.Written 12 August 2024
- karstend5150 contributionsSuper Professional Photography ExperienceCollaboration with Maui Professional Photography / Frank Baranik was a pure pleasure. Frank captured our 25th wedding anniversary. The photo session was really fun and the results were spectacular. Frank has a very good eye for making special moments even more special. Also the communication around the photography was absolutely enjoyable. I can totally recommend Maui Professional Photography.Written 31 March 2024
- Traveler7993580 contributionsCapturing MagicI married my best friend on Ulua Beach and Frank captured every magical moment for us! We highly recommend his services! Frank's photography skills are amazing, his turn around time is super fast & communication on point. We couldn't be happier with the photos, and will cherish them for years to come! Mahalo Frank!Written 21 October 2023
- mishaell0 contributionsExcellent PhotosMaui photography was a true blessing. Frank was able to capture every moment of our dream beach ceremony. I would highly recommend him as hie work is magazine worthy and artistic in every way. He spent additional time with up even after our ceremony to capture the essence of the day. We are very pleased with the services rendered.Written 8 October 2023

- SConfusedtraveller0 contributionsFun and awesome shootFrank was great. Communication from the beginning was quick and prompt. I had lot of questions and frank answered each of them patiently. On the day of shoot, he was really great. All pics are awesome. He really delivered then within a week which is great too. Also, he is really affordable. Overall a great experience. Definitely recommend this guy.Written 30 May 2023
- moodyrooster0 contributionsThe booking fee is a deposit, not the price of the shootI don't want to hurt the business, so I will rate it 5 stars, but my wife and I didn't end up going through with the booking. Judging by the pictures, I'm sure it would have been a great shoot, but after we booked, we received a text that said the 200$ was just a deposit toward the total fee. Receiving downloadable pictures from the shoot would be an additional $250. I don't mind the money, other photographers on Tripadvisor are the same, if not more, but the process felt deceptive, and it kinda soured it for us. Figured it might be helpful for others to be aware.Written 17 April 2023

- 148estelav0 contributionsBeautiful memoriesMy husband and I renewed our vows this past October and we had our pictures taken by Maui Professional Photography. We can only thank Nicole, our photographer, and Frank for such a great experience! Nicole is such a delightful person and a wonderful professional, making the entire experience so stress free and fun! Frank not only made the communication process super easy but he was also very understanding when I emailed him from a hotspot, explaining that due to hurricane Ian, we had no internet, and he told me to take as much time as needed to review our photos! That tells a lot about a person/professional!!!! Thank you, Nicole and Frank, for such beautiful pictures!!!! We totally recommend Maui Professional Photography!!!! Mahalo Frank & Nicole!!!Written 16 December 2022

We can't say enough positive thinks about Frank. A beach photo session may not have been in your first Maui itinerary draft but just do it. He took over a thousand photos and send us several hundred. The gorgeous scenery and his incredible photo skills and equipment will make your phone camera's photos feel silly. This is a no-brainer way to capture your memories at a very, very reasonable cost. Also perfectly covid-friendly.

If going to Maui, Maui Professional Photography is a MUST to document a piece of your island vacation. Frank is incredible professional. From being prompt with time, corresponding, and delivery of pictures I couldn't be more pleased unless it was with the quality of the pictures themselves. They are all stunning.
He has a way of putting you at ease and capturing those truly real moments and smiles which is priceless. I wholeheartedly recommend him.

Our experience with Frank was all that we could have hoped for. He captured our wedding day perfectly; knowing exactly how to choreograph us into perfect poses that illustrated each special moment and made us look (and feel) like models. We were extremely happy with our photos and would highly recommend Maui Professional Photography!

Frank did an amazing job catching the wonderful moments of our family vacation. We had a group of 20 with multiple different families and he managed all of it quickly and professionally. He even got smiles out of everyone which was a feat on its own as most in our group dislike photos and usually only take a couple a year. As photographers know, pictures on the beach are a challenge as the lighting is constantly changing, but he handled it with ease. He was easy to work with, affordable, and I LOVE that we get to have ALL the digital files with our package. If you are going to Maui, I highly recommend a family photo session with Frank at Maui Professional Photography, you will be very happy you did!

We were able to book Frank for our wedding on February 22nd, 2020 at Paipu Beach in Makena. He already captured the ceremony in great photos, we did not even notice he was taking shots. He then took about 1 hour to take lots of photos of us. We really liked his creativity and his relaxed manner. The results are absolutely great. Thank you again for capturing our special day in your great photos!

Easily the best experience with a photographer to date! Frank is super personable and very talented at his craft. He made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying the experience. I am so glad that I stumbled across Frank and Maui Professional Photography. I can’t say enough about how professional Frank is and the quality of work that he provides. I was so pleased with my family session and final photographs, he made my vision come to a reality! I found him on Groupon and told him that I wanted to do a surprise vow renewal for my parents 30 wedding anniversary. He helped me find a minister, a stunning location and a florist! And all of his recommendations were incredibly kind, professional and great to work with as well! Frank is a wonderful man and truly a professional in his field. He was instantly able to put my family at ease, and capture some captivating photographs of my family. I will treasure them forever. I simply cannot recommend him enough! Thank you so much Frank for everything!

We went to Maui to look at wedding venues, and saw the Trip Advisor listing for these photographs. We thought maybe this would be a cool thing to do for engagement photos... but we’d never done anything like that before!
We were so glad we did — Ian, our photographer, made us very comfortable, and the photographs turned out stunning. Frank was great with communicating, and we got the proofs very quickly. We purchased all of them and have used them for our Save the Dates, wedding website, and more!
We’ll look back fondly on these photos forever.

We used Maui Professional Photography for our family pictures in Maui last week and it was amazing. We had a great time doing it and Frank did a phenomenal job of capturing perfect pictures! The price was also an excellent deal for the incredible images we received. We highly recommend using him to do your Maui family portraits!

Frank is terrific to work with! The engagement photos turned out terrific. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an easy person to work with, who has great direction to guide poses and who has a natural ability to make great photos. You can’t go wrong with Frank and will certainly be happy with the photos he takes of you!

I cannot say enough about Frank. My family and I were visiting Maui and looked long and hard for a photographer to capture a long-overdue family photographs for us, with the stunning backdrops, that only experienced Photographers know. I knew when I landed on Maui Professional Photography's page that I had found our person! Frank was responsive and kind, flexible about scheduling, and his turnaround time to share a gallery post-session was – no joke- immediate. Most of all, the photographs we have from our session with him are incredible. We will cherish the memories forever. I could not recommend Frank and his photographers more highly!

Hello, a couple questions. $99 per adult and are kids free? How many photos do we get to choose and is there an additional cost for the photos?
Written 4 April 2022
We paid about $450-$500 for an hour of photos and received a copy of all the photos via a link that we could download from. We had 4 adults and 3 young children. Would definitely used them again. We had well over 200 photos to download.

Hello, a couple questions. $99 per adult and are kids free? How many photos do we get to choose and is there an additional cost for the photos?
Written 4 April 2022
Hi, does the $99/person already include the pictures that we choose? Or there's an additional charge if we want to get the pic from the website? If so, how much is it per picture?
Written 16 October 2021
The $99 charge already includes the pictures you choose. So you get a credit when your proofs are ready. The size of the picture matters; for example, a 4x6 is $20 and a 5x7 is $30, etc. I hope this answers your question.
Written 20 October 2021
How much do the packages you have to pay for in order to get the prints range from?
Written 21 September 2021
When the link to the website is sent to view your photos, are there watermarks on the photos or can they be instantly saved/downloaded for no additional charge? Do you only pay extra for prints? If someone could please let me know the answers to these questions, I would appreciate it! Mahalo!
Written 12 May 2020
Two questions. I was wondering if anyone knows approximately what time you meet the photographer? Do you request your own time or is it set by him? I know lighting can be an issue. We have a few other activities planned so I wanted to plan accordingly. I was also curious if any prints are included with the $400 sitting fee (family of 4)? If not, approximately how much does it cost in addition? Thanks all!
Written 8 February 2020
So all I need to pay is $49 per person in the photos and than I can just print them out from the website at no charge?
Written 4 September 2019
We got all our images from the hour session, it was $500 for all the images. It was shared to us through Amazon Drive. Then we were able to do whatever we wanted with the images. Prints, enlargements, canvas....We had 5 people in our group too. Hope this helps.
Written 5 September 2019
Hi, I am looking to do a photo shoot in a potentially awesome yellow dress in the morning. If I book, how will I be able to contact the photographer and get my photos at the end of the shoot?
What kinds of props can you ask for during the shoot? Is the location accessible by uber?
Written 6 August 2019
He answered on email very quickly, he emails you with a link to the photos, we used our old wedding photo and I also brought with me a plaque. But I think you can use anything. Frank is very creative with poses. Yes you can get too the opening by Uber but there are a few ticks you have to climb down to get to the cove. I wore a full wedding gown with a train and managed ok.
