    Dreamy sunrise session

    Shawn and Adam were wonderful to work with! Shawn was always very quick to respond and provided a ton of helpful details regarding the shoot, and Adam made sure that we felt comfortable and had fun during the session! Our sunrise session turned out absolutely stunning! We are really looking forward to seeing the rest of our photos ☺️ and would definitely book with Love + Water again in the future!

    Love and Water did our engagement pictures, as well as our wedding day photos. One of our best wedding decisions! I originally was just following them on Instagram and just in love with their style and beautiful ocean photos. Then my husband and I decided to get married in Maui, and I couldn't imagine choosing anyone else to capture our love!

    Adam did our engagement photos. Right away, my husband and I felt that Adam was very friendly and easy-going. I am not a person who is comfortable in front of the camera, but Adam gave subtle direction and helped us feel more relaxed in front of the camera. He knows what moments to capture and what angles to use. Needless to say, when we got our engagement pictures, we were more than ecstatic! We used the photos for our save the dates as well as our wedding invitations. Nothing but compliments from our family and friends :)

    Shawn & Adam did our wedding day photos! What a spectacular wife and husband duo. They captured special moments and details. Luckily for us, there was a double rainbow on our special day, and they captured one of our favorite pictures of the day of us and the double rainbow. Everyone isn't kidding when they say your wedding day flies by, so I wasn't even aware there was a double rainbow! When we received our wedding pictures, each picture was surreal and magical. From our wedding party photos to candid dancing photos, we loved every single one of our photos! I would recommend Love and Water to everyone and anyone!

    Shawn and Adam, thank you for our engagement photos and capturing our special moments throughout our wedding. We are more than happy with all of our pictures and our family and friends can't stop gushing over them. :)

    Love and Water Photography's reply:

    I still can't get over that rainbow we got to see with you guys! Thank you so much, we loved meeting and photographing you both on your wedding day as well as your engagement portraits!!

    I found Love + Water on The Knot a few years ago when my sister was getting married. I wanted to get their information in case my sister wanted a shoot on her honeymoon. She ended up not needing their services, though I held onto their info because I knew I would use them while I was on my honeymoon in a few years. My now hubby and I didn't even have plane tickets to Hawaii yet and I had already booked the session with Shawn & Adam. Shawn was responsive and easy to speak to and helped answer all my questions while Adam did an incredible job photographing us in the water. As a photographer, I know how important photos are to me, and I knew I wanted this experience documented. Shawn and Adam made it happen, and since then, the amount of amazing things that have been said about the photos is incredible and encouraging. Not many of my friends and family thought to do that on their honeymoon and they certainly wish they had. I came home from my honeymoon on a friday and we had our photos back by the following Tuesday! Talk about a turn around! Thank you so much to Shawn and Adam for making a memory of my honeymoon that will last a lifetime!

    Love and Water Photography's reply:

    These words mean everything to us! THANK YOU both for trusting in us to capture these images for you and it was great to finally meet the two of you after spending to long in communication via e-mail! We're so glad to have met you and hope to see you guys again on Maui one day!

    From the very beginning, Adam & Shawn were flexible with phone meetings (which is great when there is a 4 hour time difference) and made us feel 100% confident in our choice to hire them as our photographers. They both had such a calming demeanor on the day of the wedding, which made our entire wedding party feel relaxed. Many guests even said, “We didn’t even notice you had photographers!” because, although they provided us with the most AMAZING photos (I will get to that later), they were never overbearing of any moments. Now to discuss the photos, we could not be happier with the way they turned out. From beach to greenery to lava rock to water, they provided us with the most stunning scenic pictures, but also provided us with intimate photos that captured our emotions and memories of the day perfectly. There was no detail of the wedding that was left out. We would recommend them to absolutely anyone who was questioning a photographer in Hawaii.
    We also did a Land, Sea & Air session with Adam a few days after the wedding, and (no surprise here) the photos were incredible. Once again, Adam made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and it was a memory that we won’t soon forget.
    Adam & Shawn, thank you for sharing your special talents with us and we hope to see you again soon!

    Love and Water Photography's reply:

    Thank you both so much for your kind words! You know how much they mean to us and we are thrilled to have been a part of not only your wedding day but you were total troopers waking up for our sunrise session as well! We had a great time getting to know you both and look forward to catching up when you're on Maui next!

    Their work speaks for itself. It's light, bright, and ethereal. The colors pop. Their artistic style was exactly what we envisioned for our big day. Our wedding day was truly magical and they captured so many candid moments of laughter and heartfelt tears. And to top it all off, Shawn and Adam are such nice people. We were lucky enough to meet Adam 8 months prior on a wedding planning trip to Maui. We already loved their portfolio but getting to know Adam sealed the deal. On the day of they were so sweet and calming and just did their magic, quietly. We couldn't be happier with the results. I just look at the pics and reliving the day still brings out the tears. The collection of pics we ended up with tell a story without the need for words. It's beautiful.

    DT + Joel, your words meal a lot to us. Thank you for letting us be a part of this important day in your lives!!

    My husband and I were overjoyed when Adam and Shawn agreed to shoot our wedding in Maui. We shot our wedding and we also did an underwater shoot with Adam. Their work is so incredible. No one does pictures like them and their work is absolutely beautiful. In addition, they are fantastic to work with.

    Choosing a wedding photographer is different than selecting other vendors, because in addition to their reviews and examples of their work, you have to really like them as people. We considered several photographers for our Maui wedding and no one had work as unique and gorgeous as Love and Water. In addition, after our first meeting with Shawn and Adam, they were the type of people we could imagine hanging out with and our wedding day was more special because of them. No one can capture a sunset the way Shawn and Adam can, so much so that now whenever my husband and I see a stunning sunset, we call it “a Love and Water sunset.”

    We also did an underwater shoot with Adam. He made us feel so comfortable and we had a great time. We also loved the preview shot he sent us later that day. We can’t wait to surprise our friends and family and reveal all of the final pictures to them.

    We can’t wait to come back to Hawaii to shoot maternity, family and any other excuse we can think of in the future to get more Love and Water pictures taken.

    Thank you, Shawn and Adam, for an absolutely memorable experience and stunning pictures we’ll have forever!

    Thank you so much guys!! We had the best time working with you for both the wedding and underwater sessions!

    Adam is a true artist. My husband and I could not have found a better photographer for our wedding day. Working with him was a very unique experience as we jumped in the water the get the perfect picture of us on the lava rocks looking up from the ocean, it was great! His angles and prospective on photography makes him one-of-a-kind. We loved working with Love and Water, had a phenomonal experience, and was provided with excellent customer service. Money well spent. They are great! So happy we found them for our destination wedding.

    Thank you so much Amanda and Jameson! Congratulations again and we wish you both the best :)

    Adam and Shawn are AMAZING!! Our experience with Love & Water are exceptional and completely above our expectations!
    The photos Adam & Shawn-Marie took captured more than just the activity of the day but so many of the emotions, special moments, and love that we felt. Working with them was a Amazing and their love for what they do shines through in their work. We and our guests felt very comfortable with them and they kept such a fun and relaxed vibe. Everyone who sees our photos can't believe how beautiful and alive they are, and on top of that how quickly and professionally everything was done. We did a lot of research before selecting our photographer and have to say without a doubt that paid off and we had the most outstanding pictures and experience with Love & Water. We would absolutely recommend their work to anyone who wants their pictures to be more than photos, and instead tell the beautiful story of your special day.

    We got everything we wanted and more.

    This husband and wife team are simply the best! They were so professional and well organized leading up to the event. At the event they were professional and super sweet! They were great at blending into the party but stepping up when they knew a great shot needed to be held. They were quick with getting the photos to us and their work is simply stunning!!! We also used them for a trash the dress session and I couldn't be happier with the results. These two are something special!!

    We absolutely love our photos! If want someone who captures where you are and in the moment shots! Love and water are your go to! We have so many amazing shots we had the hardest time picking a main picture to hang! My family said our wedding photos were to perfect, that they looked like the insert picture when you buy a frame and you don't want to take the picture out! Lol we a truly blessed that they moved to Maui and could shoot our wedding! Pure perfection!
    Ps! Ladies trash your dress, it was the funniest experience! Don't be afraid to get it wet ;)

    Thanks so much Teva we had an awesoem time with you two!

    We loved Love and Water! I found them on Instagram and immediately loved their style and lighting. They made everyone feel comfortable before, during and after the ceremony and were a pleasure to be around. We also booked an underwater photo shoot and absolutely loved it! It was such an amazing experience and Adam was great coaching us throughout the day. The photos are incredible-- we love them and so does everyone else! We can't wait to see the rest!

    We were so impressed with Shawn from the beginning. She was easy to get along with, helpful and professional from the get go. And this didn't change on the day. Actually we hardly knew she was there! She captured some great candid moments but also got some great 'set-up' shots as well. We were extremely happy with the end result and would recommend Love & Water Photography to anyone.

    We found Shawn by chance through seeing a friends photography session online, and i fell in love with the style of photography she captured. For my wedding i didn't want your typical portrait style photography which seems to be quite common, instead i wanted a photographer that could capture the feel of the day, and most importantly feature the surrounding environment. We absolutely love every single image we received from our wedding day, and if i were to ever need a photographer Shawn would be my first choice. Our only issue is we received 1000 images and can't cut them down to make an album!! We couldn't be happier.

    With very specific tastes and a passion for quality photography I thought we would have a hard time finding a 5-star photographer to fit our humble budget! What a surprise it was when we managed to 'capture lightning in a bottle' by finding Shawn at Sabre Creative Photography!

    She has proven herself to be talented, passionate, OVERLY qualified, approachable, friendly and flexible enough to cater for our wedding COMPLETELY!

    We couldn't be happier with her presentation and conduct, to the point that we'd consider her one of the most valuable additions to our day!

    Thanks heaps Shawn, you made our day completely UNFORGETTABLE!

    p.s. we've since made a friend in her too!

    Shawn was briliant! Her preparation before the event gave us confidence, her attention to detail and energy on the day made it great fun and the end result blew us away. The photos were so much more beautiful and artistic than we could ever have imagined. We are so happy that Shawn of Sabra Creative was our wedding photographer and will recommend her to everyone we know!

    Sabra Creative has blown our minds with their talent and vision!!! The photography was on some next level type "awesomeness" that most verbs or adjectives can't describe. We have never seen anything remotely close to Sabra Creative's style of photography before. Their attention to detail, passion, and professionalism is unmatched. They took their time to understand our vision and took it beyond anything we could have encapsulated with words. I have worked with Sabra Creative for Family shoots, Hair and Fashion Shoots as well as weddings not only are they AMAZING they are VERY versatile. Sabra Creative are not just an incredibly talented photography team, They are also the nicest people I've ever met. Shawn is a lot of fun to work with, and makes the whole experience really easy and carefree. LOVE LOVE LOVE your work!

    Coast Film Cinematography have worked alongside Shawn of Sabra Creative Photography on a number of occasions and every time we have an absolute ball! Shawn is fun, incredibly creative and above all professional. Her down to earth nature coupled with her quirky (but fantastic) sense of humour puts any nervous customer at ease. It is wonderful to have the opportunity to work alongside someone that sincerely respects us and the other suppliers she works with. Shawn works WITH us NOT AGAINST us, which makes for a better experience and result for the couple and a fun environment for us all where we can bounce ideas off each other. It is a remarkable thing, in this dog eat dog world, to meet a woman who genuinely wants everyone to succeed. She does not view other wedding suppliers as competition, but instead remains enthusiastic about their shared passion and experiences. On top of all this, you just have to browse through Shawn's images once to fall in love with Sabra Creative's natural and unassuming style. When you look at the smiles on strangers' faces within Shawn's photos you can't help but smile back. The reason... because they are never forced smiles, they are laughing into the camera openly and without apprehension and you know why? Because they were having so much fun with Shawn! I could go on... there really are so many wonderful things about Shawn as a person, about Sabra Creative Photography the business and about the incredible imagery she captures. We recommend Sabra Creative to everyone and are hopeful that we will work alongside her frequently.

    Sabra Creative Photography is a fabulous and enthusiastic service that is a must for your wedding day!
    I wanted to extend the hours of coverage for the wedding - not a problem and it didn't blow the budget. I was so so happy we chose to do this as we have the most magical photos of our first dance.
    I wanted individual photos of guests for our guest book - not a problem either!
    I have an amazing array of photographs that not only capture the candid and special moments of our big day but we also have gorgeous works of art that I am proud to display around our home.
    The optional added shoots are also super flexible and not to mention fun! Just check the website.
    You wont regret entrusting Shaun for this important part of your day/ event.

    Geoff and I met Shawn from Sabra Creative Photography last year a few months before our wedding. Her easy going personality put us at ease straight away and immediately we knew she would fit in perfectly as the photographer for our big day. We had so much fun doing our wedding shots and would have been perfectly happy to have more taken if we didn't need to go to our reception! The disc of all the photos we recieved were incredibly beautiful and exactly what I had hoped for. Shawn designed and had an album made for us which I completely fell in love with. And everyone who sees it says it captured the joy and love of the day! Thank you Shawn. I would recommend you in a heartbeat

    We LOVE Shawn from Sabra Creative!!

    So far she has done our engagement, wedding, photo's for 2 of my websites and a family portrait session.

    Shawn is lovely, she is really easy to work with, she will go far and beyond to make sure that she has the perfect shot and she has exceeded your expectations.. but above all.. her work is STUNNING! It's gentle and pretty and light filled! She should be charging three times the price she does! (Don't tell her I said that!)

    2 words. Hire Her. You will be impressed!

    The most sweetest photographer who is open to suggestions as well as mixing in her own clever funky twist, Shawn made the day extra special with her relaxed yet professional friendly attitude, she was very efficient with returning any calls and was friendly, bubbly and very keen to help, no dramas through whole process, very happy with prices, photos n service, would recommend to anyone, she goes above and beyond from cute finishing herb n ribbon touches to the package, blogging your special day on websites and on her Facebook page, can't wait to do a trash the dress shoot with her sometime in the near future

    My husband and I came half way across the world, from Buffalo, NY to Hayman Island, Australia to get married on the beach. As you can imagine, photographs were very important to our experience. Being that we weren't able to meet our photographer until the day before our event, you can imagine that we were a bit nervous. But there was no need!

    Shawn was wonderful right from the start. Very professional and vibrant, making us feel right at home. She was very responsive to all of our requests and you could tell that she really loves what she does.

    The pictures were nothing short of perfect! Shawn captured both of us exactly the way we wanted on our wedding day and made wonderful use of the scenery. We have so many wonderful memories from that day in part because of Shawn.

    Over a year later, I am still gushing over her photo postings on Facebook. Sometimes one of ours even pops up after all this time. : )

    I would recommend her services to anyone.
