What we make.
You are on holiday and want photographs that feel like you.
Honeymoon
The photographs most couples come to the Maldives for: an hour at golden hour, barefoot, unhurried, on the island you chose for the first weeks of your marriage.
Wedding
Resort ceremonies on the beach or sandbank, Maldivian-style blessings, and the quiet half hour after — documented end to end.
Elopement
Just the two of you, a celebrant, and an island. The shortest ceremonies make the most honest photographs.
Proposal
Planned with the resort so the moment stays a surprise — I am on the beach before you are, and you will not see me until the answer.
Pre-wedding
Engagement and pre-wedding sessions across the lagoon, the jetty and the sandbank, with a change of outfit built into the hour.
Anniversary
Ten years, twenty-five, or the first: a relaxed session that reads like the honeymoon you may never have photographed.
Family
Children run, grandparents sit, the light goes gold — I work around the family rather than posing it.
Maternity
Soft morning light, shallow water, and a session paced for comfort.
Solo & portraits
Solo travellers, creators and portraits — one person, one island, and the frames you actually want to keep.

Questions.
How much does a photographer in the Maldives cost?
Personal sessions start at US$320 for a 20–40 minute session and US$550–1,250 for about two hours. The resort travel fee is quoted on its own line. Weddings are priced per commission.
Can you come to my resort?
Almost always. I have photographed on more than 40 resort islands and list every resort in the country with its transfer and travel fee. A few resorts have an exclusive in-house studio; I will tell you before you pay anything.
When do we get the photographs?
A sneak peek within 24 hours and the full edited gallery within 48 — usually before your seaplane leaves.
