We strive to capture epic and breathtaking images that tell your story, your adventure, and your love all while having the time of your lives in the world’s most majestic scenery.

Hi, I am Chris
My name is Christopher Douglass and I’m the owner and lead photographer of PhotoHawaii, based out of Maui, Hawaii.
Photography is more than just taking pictures or capturing a moment. It’s about connecting with people, capturing who they are, and creating and sharing an experience that we will all treasure and remember. This is about telling inspiring stories of love, celebration, and incredible journeys. I strive to bring out the best in my clients, to create powerful, emotional experiences and capture their authentic selves. I am more than just a photographer, I am a storyteller and photography is my medium of choice.
My Style
Photographers are often asked to describe our style. My photographic voice can be summarized as Illustrative with a Photojournalistic feel resulting in epic images. I love to immerse you in a situation or an environment that is new and unique to you as a fresh backdrop. I will give small directions based upon my vision and let you go! Snapping candid shots, with no force or posing involved. You are free to be your authentic and wonderful selves while I capture the waves crashing around you, surrounded by a Hawaiian jungle, the sand stuck between your toes and the cool breeze blowing up from the lava cliffs. I aim to blend intimacy and genuine expressions within the majesty of Maui.
#PhotoNinja
I do whatever it takes to get the shot I want. This might mean I’m running up and down a rocky cliff for a better perspective, laying in the sand with the waves lapping my legs, or I may be up to my waist in a tide pool or climbing up a tree. Whatever it takes, I will get that shot
and you won’t even see me coming.
Let Me Capture Your Story
Through my lens, I see moments of emotion that are meant to be remembered. In a split second, so much life is happening all around us. These tales are the ones I aim to tell. The stories from around the world that cannot be put into words, will be told through photography.
I know that choosing your photographer is one of the most important decisions that go into planning your wedding day so it would be an honor if you would allow me to tell your story.
