I’m so glad you asked! Of course it’s beautiful, timeless photography that you’re after, but for me it’s about delivering so much more than just photographs you love—it’s about creating an experience that you’ll look back on with the biggest smile. It starts right from the moment you contact me—I take the time to personally respond to every inquiry—and you get my guidance and support from that moment on. We’ll chat and get to know each other so that you feel relaxed and comfortable, and I can provide you with the best experience possible. I’ll help with planning suggestions, and prepare you ahead of time for the fun that’s to come. On the day, we’ll have an incredible, fun, and memorable time, celebrating your love. And then, I put my heart and soul into the professional editing process, to ensure that every image is elegantly preserved to reflect your love story. 
The Jenny Vargas Photography Experience is a commitment to making your special day one of the most memorable of your entire life, just as it should be.

01

What sets the Jenny Vargas Photography Experience apart?

My style is very much inspired by the natural beauty and light of the Hawaiian islands, and by the intimate connection of couples in love—it’s classic, light, airy, and fine-art influenced. I believe it’s so important to capture your unique connection, love, and emotion, in a way that’s timeless and elegant, while still being playful, and fun.

02

How would you describe your photography style?

I’m a very passionate photographer, a big believer in each couple’s own unique connection with one another, and I love living in the Hawaiian Islands! Call me a dreamer, but I adore real-life hollywood-style love stories, and there’s no question that I have the best job, ever! I’m easy going, fun-loving, flexible, real, honest, and approachable, and I think my passion for my work shines through every step of the way. It’s because I care so much about creating the ideal photography experience for you, that I take the time to get to know you, provide custom guidance and suggestions leading up to your special day, and ensure that the photography session itself is an experience of a lifetime. Building a connection with my clients is really essential to me, and I pride myself in ensuring that every client gets their perfect session, and has a huge smile on their face the whole way through. The day itself will be customized to your specific requests, and you can expect a relaxed, interactive time, where we “talk story,” as we say here in Hawaii, laugh, and have fun. When you relax and have a great time, I get the absolute best photographs for you!

03

What is it like to work with you?

I’m a professional Maui Photography, and I’ve specialized in Weddings, Couples, and Family Photography for several years now. I’m a fun-loving gal, but I’m fully invested in being the best photographer possible for you, so I’ve studied directly under the leaders of the photography industry, and completed numerous advanced photography courses, workshops, online trainings, and style shoots. I also attend annual photography conferences to ensure I’m always refining my skills, and staying current on industry trends. To date I’ve photographed hundreds of Maui Weddings, Elopements, Anniversaries, and happy Families, but I don’t like to think of it that way, as my clients aren’t numbers—they are cherished individuals. I take my work very seriously, and am honored to have been featured as the The Knot’s 2019 Pick for The Best of Weddings.

04

How much experience do you have in photography?

I’m currently accepting bookings for 2019 and 2020 and, although I do my best to accommodate last-minute requests whenever I’m available, I always recommend booking as far in advance as possible. I typically suggest giving yourself at least a month to plan your outfits, hair, makeup, etc., and the sooner we can chat and plan your special day, the more support I can provide you with along the way. If you’re ready to book, let’s connect soon so I can check my availability and start creating a custom photography experience for you.

05

How far in advance should we book you?

Yes! Interisland travel is quick, and really fairly easy, so while I’m best known as a Maui Wedding Photographer, I do accept bookings on other Hawaiian Islands as well. Additional travel fees apply.

06

Do you travel to other islands?

I get it—you want your special day to have the perfect weather. Luckily we have a lot of beautiful sunny days here in paradise, so that’s typically the case, but in those times when it does rain, I always have a plan B. With Portrait and Family Photography Collections that are more flexible, I do my very best to reschedule the session to a day of sunshine. When it comes to Hawaii Wedding Photography and Elopement Photography, which usually have a pre-set date, we go with the flow and always make it work. Usually it’s just a drizzle, and we can still get stunning photography; when it rains harder, I have cute transparent umbrellas that enable me to still see you, while you are kept dry. It’s also often the case that while it may be raining in one spot on the island, it might not be in the next town over, so we can always drive elsewhere and get you the photography you always dreamed of. Plus, rain is good luck on a special day, and as the Hawaiian saying goes, “No rain, no rainbows” :)

07

What if it rains during our photography session, or on our wedding day?

Absolutely! I adore natural beauty, but there is just something to be said about not having to worry about getting your hair and makeup right on your special day. There are several talented hair and makeup artists in Maui, and on the other Hawaiian islands, that I can recommend to you to make your life so much easier. I definitely recommend investing in hair and makeup to complete the experience, remove the stress, and truly enjoy your special day.

08

Do you recommend investing in hair and makeup for the photography session?

I’m so excited to connect with you, and so honored that you have chosen the Jenny Vargas Photography Experience! 

The next step is to contact me to check my availability, and request my Photography Collections Guide to decide on the Collection that’s right for you (of course we can always chat over the phone and walk through this process together if you prefer.) Once you have selected your ideal Collection, I ask for a deposit to secure the date, and then we’ll get started on planning your personalized photography experience. Let the fun begin! 

09

We’re ready to move ahead—how do we book you?

Thank you for asking! Gosh for me it’s the perfect profession—I get to capture love stories, and meet the most incredible couples, all while living in Hawaii—how did I get this lucky?! For me, photography is a timeless memory of the most special moments in life. The fact that I get to capture loving memories that stand the test of time, is the absolute, greatest honor.

We booked Jenny because we loved her style, color scheme, and personality. We absolutely fell in love with her on our wedding day because of her professionalism and way of making us feel completely at ease. And we were blown away by the speed and quality of the photos she delivered!

If you can’t tell already, we absolutely recommend Jenny as your wedding photographer, without a doubt. She was initially very communicative and easy to reach when we had any sort of questions or concerns. She immediately became like a friend with frequent social media communications. On the day of the wedding, she managed to be friendly and put us at ease without the excessive over-the-top bubbliness we have seen in some photographers.

Jenny is an absolute professional. She knows what she’s doing and you feel guided during the photo shoots without over direction. She is familiar with many settings in Maui and works beautifully with videographers. She is somehow always there and can make herself invisible at times. It’s perfect.

And her photos are perfect. We were unsure if they would turn out. It was windy. It was cloudy sometimes and it even was raining. But they turned out STUNNING. We could not be happier. And trust me, there is no better feeling than receiving your wedding photos and being so absolutely pleased with them that the only word you can possibly use to describe them is…perfect.

Also have to give a shoutout to Meigan, her lovely second shooter who also had amazing energy and I know helped capture our day beautifully. They are a great team.

I couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our wedding day! I haven't had professional photos taken before and was a little nervous about not knowing how to "pose." Jenny gave great direction and made me feel at ease behind the camera and our phtotos turned out amazing! After we got our wedding photos back I was impressed at all the amazing moments Jenny and her team captured for us. Little moments that I might have forgotten had she not captured them on film.

Having Jenny as our photographer allowed me to just enjoy our wedding day and be present in every moment without having to worry if a certain moment was going to get captured. You can trust Jenny to get ALL the moments and MORE.

The package we booked included an "engagement photo session or after wedding session" and I asked Jenny if she would be willing to do an "adventure day" where we hiked up a trail to take photos and I was so happy when she agreed! It was a lot of work to carry her camera up a steep trail but she did it for us and we got some really cool photos of my husband and I the day after we got married doing one of our favorite things, Trail Running and Hiking.

While browsing for wedding photographers, Jenny’s tastefully light and earthy photography style immediately grabbed our attention because it matched exactly what we were looking for. We were lucky to be going to Maui early enough before our wedding, so we decided to shoot our engagement photos with Jenny and will be forever grateful that we did! I wasn’t sure that our wedding photos would be able to top how beautiful our engagement photos at Honolua Bay turned out, but Jenny was able to capture every moment just as beautifully as before. She has an eye for capturing important memories and for finding the perfect scenic spot for every moment. Jenny helped guide us through poses, while also allowing and encouraging us to be our silly selves. We continue to receive compliments on both our engagement and wedding photos to this day. The most challenging part of our journey with Jenny was deciding which photos to put up on our wall. Spoiler: there’s a lot!

It was such a pleasure getting to work with Jenny for our wedding! When it came down to choosing a photographer, I did lots of research on IG, yelp, Google reviews and I eventually narrowed down the search to Jenny. Her photography style is bright and vibrant and I feel like she captured the vibe we were looking for. An engagement shoot was included in our package so we were able to fly out to Maui 10 months before our wedding to meet with Jenny. On our wedding day, it was nice to see a familiar face and work with her again (alongside Meigan). Both were fantastic and they captured so many memories for us. The pictures are stunning and we're so happy to be able to live through our wedding through these pictures! Thank you Jenny and Meigan!

Pictures can be an intimidating process--especially if you are not one to enjoy being in them. I was looking for a photographer for our engagement pictures and found Jenny on Instagram and quickly loved her aesthetic. Communication was such an ease with her and we felt very comfortable sharing what we needed and wanted. Once we met Jenny, we quickly felt taken care of. She provided clear direction, guidance, encouragement to feel relaxed and we truly enjoyed the process. We knew she had gotten some great shots but boy were we blown away with how many she got. We were happy to even get 10 great pictures but we received so many that we are having a hard time picking our favorites! We loved our engagement photos so we hired her for our wedding as well. We hope to renew our vows one day and if Jenny is still in Maui, we are definetely hiring her again. I highly recommend Jenny if you want to capture your love through pictures.

We had the pleasure of having Jenny photograph our destination elopement! We planned everything from afar and she was so great in giving resources, and offer ideas. She was very personable and made us feel so comfortable. We had a bit of rain come through and she really helped us embrace rolling with the punches and you can’t even tell it was raining in our photos. I recommend her to everyone I know visiting Maui!! We will definitely be scheduling with her again when we are back on Maui. 10/10!!

I stumbled on Jenny Vargas on instagram while looking for Maui photographers for my 2019 wedding and fell in love with her esthetics and the sceneries she photographed her clients in. I immediately reached out. Everything from our first phone meeting, communication via emails, and in person meetings were a breeze. We had a quick pre shoot a few days before our big day and she prepped us on how to pose for pictures. Our wedding pictures turned out so amazing. Jenny was extremely professional throughout the whole process. I have happily recommended Jenny Vargas to multiple people for their special days. She is amazing at what she does!

Look no further! You have found the best Hawaiian Islands photographer. Jenny was accommodating, prompt, gave helpful tips and had great ideas/poses for our wedding portraits. We get compliments ALL THE TIME on our photos. They’re breathtaking and make me cry! She captured such beautiful memories for us. We eloped so the 3 people that were there (minister, Jenny and her assistant) were special and shared a special time with us. Mahalo Jenny we love you!
