Couple session · Maui
In short
Couple session in Maui starts at $325: 90 min on location with a photographer who works in Maui, and 40 edited photos delivered to a private gallery within 48–72 hours.
Why choose Couple session in Maui?
A couple session on Maui is a 90-minute shoot at two locations within walking distance that delivers 40 retouched photographs, priced from $325. It suits the anniversary trip, the couple who moved here, or the pair who have been coming back for ten years with no photograph of themselves. Walking distance is the useful rule on this island: a session that drives between coasts spends its best light in the car.
Worth knowing about Maui
The Kapalua Coastal Trail runs north from Kapalua Bay Beach across the sand dunes at Oneloa Bay toward D.T. Fleming Beach Park, and Kapalua lists its hours as sunrise to sunset. A couple session that walks the trail between two bays is therefore timed to finish at sunset rather than to stay on for the blue hour, which is photographed on the open sand of Kapalua Bay instead.
What does the session in Maui look like?
- Kapalua Bay to Oneloa Bay

FAQ — Couple session in Maui
Can a Maui couple session cover two beaches without driving?
Yes. A Maui couple session at Kapalua can start at Kapalua Bay and walk the Kapalua Coastal Trail across the dunes at Oneloa Bay, which gives two distinct beaches inside 90 minutes. Kapalua lists the trail as open sunrise to sunset, so the walking part is planned to end as the sun goes down.
Does a couple session on a Maui beach need a permit?
Yes. A professional couple session on a sandy Maui beach needs a State of Hawaii permit held by the photographer, either a DLNR Wiki Permits right-of-entry permit, from $20 for 200 square feet, or a Hawaii Film Office permit. Neither one gives exclusive use of the sand, so the couple shares the beach with the public.
