From the "starting at" price each vendor publishes on their own website or their Lazo profile, read 2026-11-11. A starting price is the smallest package they sell, not what a wedding ends up costing: nationally most couples pay $1,500-$3,500 once hours, add-ons and the date are in.
Maui against the rest of the country
The median published starting price for a wedding photographer in Maui is $700, about 53% below the national median of $1,500. Lower starting prices usually mean smaller base packages rather than cheaper weddings, so compare what each package includes before comparing the number.
What moves the price
- Hours of coverage
- The single biggest lever. Every extra hour is typically $250-$500, and the hours couples regret cutting are always the last ones - the dancing, the send-off, the part of the night nobody was posing for.
- A second shooter
- Usually $300-$600. Buys you the other angle: your partner getting ready while you get ready, the aisle reaction while the ceremony is shot from the front. On weddings over about 120 guests it stops being optional.
- Experience and demand
- A photographer in their eighth season prices differently from one in their second, and both may be excellent. What you pay for with experience is consistency in bad light and bad weather, and someone who has seen your venue before.
- Season and day
- Peak-season Saturdays cost the most because they sell out first. A Friday or Sunday in your area's off-season commonly saves 10-25% on the same photographer.
