    Super Professional Photography Experience

    Collaboration 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.

    Stunning 20 person group photos

    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!

    Maui Professional Photography's reply:


    Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that your family vacation photography session with Frank was such a success. Capturing special moments for a large group can be challenging, but Frank's professionalism and skill allowed him to manage everything smoothly.

    We're delighted to hear that Frank was able to bring smiles to everyone's faces, even those who are not typically fond of being photographed. It's a testament to his ability to create a comfortable and enjoyable atmosphere during the session.

    Handling the changing lighting conditions on the beach can indeed be a challenge, but we're glad to hear that Frank handled it with ease, ensuring that your photos turned out beautifully.

    Providing all the digital files with your package is a priority for us. We believe in giving our clients the flexibility and freedom to cherish and share their memories as they please.

    Thank you for recommending a family photo session with Frank at Maui Professional Photography. We truly appreciate your kind words and are thrilled that you're happy with the results. If you ever have any future photography needs, please don't hesitate to reach out. It was a pleasure working with you and capturing those special moments of your family vacation.

    Best photographer in Maui!!

    My family and i were in Maui for a vacation over Christmas/ new years. I reached out to several photographers and ultimately, Frank was the most responsive and engaging. So glad we booked with this company. Effortless process, easy to book, easy to find location, and Frank followed up and re-confirmed every step of the way. He sent his associate photographer, Nicole- and she was fabulous! She had so much energy, made us feel comfortable, so very engaging with our group. And took the most amazing photos, wonderful colorful backgrounds and really captured the moments. Nicole is a great artist, These are priceless photos! We could not be happier. Frank did the re-touching and the vibrant colors and every single photo turned out wonderful. We are so happy with the quality and outcome and pricing. Thank you for making memorable moments

    Vow Renewal & Family 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!

    Vow renewal on Maui

    My 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!!!

    Book Frank!

    Frank was a phenomenal photographer. He made my wife and I feel comfortable and didn’t force us to do any cheesy poses or “try” to get the perfect photo. Frank was able to capture everything we wanted to and more. He has a couple of spots and secluded areas on the beach so that you’re not bombarded with kids or others on the beach. If it’s your first time in Maui and are looking for an affordable, funny, and caring photographer reach out to Frank.

    Amazing Experience We Will Treasure!

    My family and I had a wonderful experience and highly recommend it to others. Shizen was a joy to work with and helped us to capture some absolutely beautiful pictures that my family will treasure forever. Shizen was creative with our poses and was gifted in capturing just who we are as a family naturally. He was also super patient and supportive of my little nieces, who were more interested in playing on the beach. :) After the photo session, we received the edited photos from Frank in just a few days!! Ordering photos and accessing the online gallery were a breeze! Thank you so much Frank and Shizen!

    Great service!!! Well recommended!

    We've had our wedding photos taken by Frank on Ironwoods cliff. We're very pleased with him and the photos we got. Frank was very professional and we liked his enthusiasm. Our photos were done pretty quickly after the session and when we had some concerns Frank was very helpful and got back to us fast. He offered us to buy more pictures than included in our wedding package for very reasonable price. We enjoyed the photo session and had some laugh too! I'd recommend him to anyone who wants to enjoy any special occasion in beautiful Maui! Thanks again Frank!!!

    Amazing wedding photographs

    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!

    Frank of Maui Professional Photography is AMAZING!! He was so easy to work with.

    We hired Frank for our elopement to Maui. I had so many questions and concerns, in each situation Frank set me at ease.

    Frank had so many fantastic ideas on using the natural back drops always considering the best shot as the sun was making its exit for the day. At the last minute we requested a few photographs to include a cake cutting. Even on the fly those photographs are SPECTACULAR!!!

    We HIGHLY recommend Frank and Maui Professional Photography!! He will give you the priceless gift of a moment you will cherish forever!!!
