We hired Sean as our wedding photographer and I don't think we could've made a better choice. Your wedding day is already stressful, so Sean's professionalism combined with being super personable for the entirety of the process made us more comfortable and genuinely made it an even more perfect day than we thought it could be. He obviously has a lot of experience with weddings as well as other photography on the whole, and it showed through his work. We got the best organized shots and plenty of candids to remind us of how happy we were going through our special day. If I ever get married again (I hope my wife isn't reading this) I'd hire him again in a heartbeat. Couldn't have appreciated his work and time any more than we already do. Thanks again Sean!

If you’re searching for a photographer who will not only capture the essence of your special day but also elevate it to an art form, look no further than Sean Michael Hower. I had the immense pleasure of experiencing his extraordinary work at Angie and Max's wedding on August 1st, 2024, and the results were nothing short of breathtaking.From the very beginning, Sean’s presence was both calming and inspiring. His work at St. Theresa Catholic Church in Kihei was a testament to his incredible skill. The ceremony photos he took are so rich with emotion and detail that each frame feels like a heartfelt narrative unfolding before your eyes. The sacred moments, the subtle exchanges, and the grand gestures were all captured with a depth that speaks volumes about Sean’s talent.Post-ceremony, Sean seamlessly transitioned to capturing the joy of group and family photos. His ability to direct large groups with ease and his knack for creating natural, unposed moments resulted in images that are both lively and deeply personal. Each family portrait and group shot tells a story of love and togetherness, showcasing his remarkable eye for detail and composition.The reception was another showcase of Sean's artistic prowess. Every detail, from the elegant table settings to the romantic ambiance, was meticulously documented with an artistic flair that enhanced the beauty of the event. His ability to highlight the intricate details of the decor while capturing candid, joyful moments is truly exceptional.The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the sunset beach shoot. Sean’s talent for creating stunning, romantic couple photos at the beach was nothing short of magical. As the sun dipped below the horizon, he expertly framed Angie and Max in a glowing, golden light that accentuated their love and the serene beauty of the Maui coastline. These photos are more than just images; they are timeless pieces of art that perfectly encapsulate the couple’s deep connection and the enchanting atmosphere of their wedding day.As the night progressed, Sean’s lens was ever-present, capturing the fun, lively energy of the dancing and celebrations. His ability to blend into the background while still capturing every spontaneous moment of joy and laughter ensured that the essence of the evening was preserved in all its exuberant glory.In summary, Sean Michael Hower’s work at Angie and Max’s wedding was extraordinary. His unique perspective, exceptional skill, and genuine passion for his craft are evident in every single photograph.

Had the pleasure of meeting Sean during his visit to Florida. Sean captured Drone Footage of me doing some extreme sports. The quality of the video is the highest I have ever seen. You can tell that Sean not only has an extreme talent, but the highest quality equipment. Sean is so passionate and so kind. He spoke to me about his work and equipment and shared his videos with me. I would highly recommend him to anyone in the Hawaii or FL area looking for photo / video work!

Sean took family photos for us, and they are by far the best photos of my family and kids. We'll forever have these moments documented now moving forward. He also used his drone to capture unique pictures and angles. He suggested the best poses and what time of day is the best lighting. He is so talented! I highly recommend him!

Having Sean do a family shoot of our zany family-of-ten was an absolute treat. Sean is engaging & professional... & with his keen attention to detail, he even re-directed us to the perfect sunset beach that provided the most beautiful background. We could not be more pleased with his talents.

Sean was incredibly easy and professional to work with. He also provided great suggestions (where to get fresh lei's) and picking the best timing & location for our family vacation shoot. The photos turned out amazing and the whole process was super fast and easy to pick out our favorites. It's clear he has an incredible eye based on some of the other photos he's taken (both of people/events and artistic captures of stars and other scenery). We are so happy to have these images as a keepsake from an incredible vacation and to be able to pick from so many different backgrounds and combinations (even with just a 30min shoot!). I would hire Sean again in a heartbeat!

We booked Sean through Maui Aloha Weddings for our Feb. 2023 wedding in Maui. Sean was easy to communicate with and gave several helpful tips and advice. Most importantly, the photos turned out fantastic and we couldn't be happier! Sean is a fun guy, easy to work with. Highly recommended!

This man literally made the best day of my life perfect. I chose him as my photographer through a wedding planner in Maui and he "understood the assignment"! Hands down one the the most genuine people I have ever met. The wedding planner themselves failed to tell us she wouldn't be there to help out on a our big day and tell us what to do ect... but Sean he made it perfect. I haven't even received our pictures yet, I mean its only been a week, but I'm sure they will magical. I couldn't have asked for a better person to capture the best day of my life!! Thank You Sean for everything!!!

If you are searching for a photographer on Maui look no further. Honestly, Sean takes the most amazing photos, is extremely friendly and is so patient with kids. He knows all the best places and has a knack for capturing my kids best moments. He has been taking our family photos every year for the past 8 years. He has helped us with local restaurant and excursion ideas and other places to go see to really enjoy all the beauty Maui has to offer. After so many years of talking with him and having him take our photos, he has become a family friend. My kids know him and look forward to seeing him every year too. A trip to Maui wouldn't be the same without seeing him and having a family photo shoot!

My family and I have had Sean shoot photos for us multiple times over the year. We used him for engagement photos (which to this day people always rave about), extended family portraits, and now recently (years later) for family photos with our children. And Sean honestly just gets better and better and better! He's one of the most reasonably-priced shooters on the island of Maui, perhaps of all the islands, and in my humble opinion — far and away the most talented. He's professional, honest, and an all-around nice guy and will consistently go out of his way to make sure his clients are satisfied. A++ all the way! You cannot go wrong hiring Sean for whatever your photography needs are. And this is coming from a discerning Creative Director with over 20+ years of experience! 🤣

Our company (and our families) have collaborated and hired Sean Hower Photography' for well over 8 years now. We highly recommend him for all of your photography needs. Sean is an incredibly professional, yet personable, and kind person who brings his spirit of community and friendship to every photo shoot. He has done everything from Corporate, to Weddings, to Concerts and family photo sessions. During the Covid shut down Sean generously offered his services to Maui families and went to their homes to take their family portraits. He gave without hesitation during what was a very stressful and isolating experience for our Maui Community and beyond. We appreciate his time talent and his spirit of Aloha.

During a time of uncertainty in 2020, Sean showed up professionally to capture our intimate ceremony - just the two of us! I would describe his images as classic/timeless/quality, storytelling our day. Great for wedding album prints! His pictures encapsulate the moments exactly how we wanted for some of our first family heirlooms to pass on... emphasizing the beautiful surroundings. We loved all the pictures, it was hard to choose a favorite so we will go with - all of them!

We hired Sean to take some portrait shots of us while we were on vacation. While directing us, he was very fun, professional and confident which in turn made for a happy and rewarding experience. He knows the island like the back of his hand and knew exactly when the waves would be crashing up behind us! The shots were amazing, definitely recommend him if you want dynamic images for souvenirs!

I’ve had the opportunity to work with Sean on a couple of occasions. He photographed my wedding on our farm on Maui as well as a recent family gathering. Sean is one of the best in his profession. He is extremely responsive and communicative, provides a variety of options, and takes amazing photos! You can tell he absolutely loves what he does - he cares about his clients experience and goes above and beyond. Lastly, he has so much aloha in his heart and that comes thru in everything he does.

Sean is personable and great to work with, and the results are high-quality photos. We used him to take photos of our family on the beach in Maui. He spent a lot of time getting everything just right, had great suggestions for where and how to pose, and listened to our suggestions, too. We were thrilled with the results.If you're looking for a top-notch professional photographer, look no further.

This was the second time our family worked with Sean and again the pictures are just outstanding and the whole experience from start to finish was remarkably enjoyable. We had seven people that included three generations, along with our dog. Sean’s a pro with children, just have to say that, and tuned right in to how to get the best from each one of us. I’m not usually comfortable in front of a camera, but the way he guided us through everything, I felt so relaxed that I forgot to be awkward and just had fun! Sean really made wonderful use of the natural, Upcountry Maui background and lighting, and the pictures have such a great variety of expression. From playful to romantic, sensitive, and heart touching, with lots of happiness and joy in them all. Plus, the memory of the special time our family had together during the shoot makes the beautiful pictures themselves mean even more. We’re really grateful to have found Sean and will continue to come to him for all our photography needs throughout the years.

I’ve worked with Sean on several occasions. He’s a consummate professional who intuitively knows how to capture the essence of a moment. His instincts are on point and his gear and technical chops are top quality. He’s also a really easy going person and a pleasure to work with which is why I call him when I need photos for my businesses. He has my highest recommendation.

Sean is a top-notch photographer! We have had the pleasure of working with him for both, family portraits and business projects. I would say he is great for family portraits or speacial occasions because his personality is so easy to relax around, simply kind and funny, which makes all the difference in capturing those great memories. Yet for something more professional, he is detailed and asks the right questions to make sure he is really understanding your vision. I recommend him to friends n family all the time, he is one of the best!

Sean did our wedding back in 2006. He assisted in choosing a location spot, flowers & the officiate. Not typical of a photographer, but we were unsure of options since we were coming from Florida, and he made several suggestions. He was truly professional in every aspect. He did shots we knew we wanted & then suggested other poses that turned out beautiful. He then made a video of some of our pictures & video footage he took….to the two tunes we wanted. I can just say FABULOUS!I would highly recommend Sean for your wedding, or just family or self photos!!!

I wasn’t sure that I was going to be able to get any maternity pictures taken because Covid was still such a wildfire. But Sean agreed to take some and not only was he incredibly safe, but he helped me relax, have fun and enjoy the experience. Being pregnant is not a time where you feel like you want a camera in front of you but Sean really helped me feel comfortable, had fun with my husband and other son, and made me feel beautiful. And the final product was just icing on the cake!! I’m so grateful that he captured my big belly and my boys and I during one of the craziest times in our lives. I highly recommend hiring him for any life changing moments you want to capture or just for a boost in esteem.

Sean Hower is incredible at what he does! I have been lucky enough to utilize his photography skills in many ways. Eight years ago he flew to the mainland and shot our wedding weekend for us. It was a magical event and he did an exceptional job at capturing everything we wanted and so much more. Sean has also helped us with our business shoots. We own a construction company and over the years he has come to help us capture images for our website, progress on our builds and so much more. We have also hired him for family portraits, memorial services and pregnancy photo shoots. I love that his skill is so versatile and his personality and experience is so helpful in making the whole process flow. When you hire this man you can count on a friendly and professional experience. You can also be sure that the photos will exceed your expectations. Thank you Sean for all the years of amazing photography. We look forward to many more!

I had a wonderful time working with Sean. He helped me feel comfortable doing a bathing suit photo shoot. That’s not something I normally do and he made it easy and fun. The photos themselves are gorgeous and he has an artistic eye that is hard to beat. On top of that, you can easily tell that he genuinely cares about the people that he works with. I was working with some sentimental pieces from my grandmother after she passed and his concern for helping me tell that story was very apparent. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for Talent combined with heart and soul.

It’s very special and rare to come across a person of Sean’s caliber, in any situation or industry. From the start, he is not only professional, but also, he magically weaves a familiarity into his art form that puts you at ease and allows you to flow naturally. When capturing memories on film, the type of charismatic genius that flows through Sean is what his camera lens translates into timeless art. You may be paying for photos but you are investing in the art of your lives. I am proud to have hanging on my walls, memories, that Sean’s trained eye and lens captured and transformed into art. He is an artist first and it shows in the quality of his work. Thank you Sean Michael Hower. Sincerely, thank you.

Sean Hower of Maui Wedding Medias did an amazing job with our whole photo shoot. All we can say after reviewing all the photos is, they came out phenomenal. The whole experience was great. Sean was very accommodating to us and made sure not to rush us, but also managed our time well. He made sure that we got those perfect sunset beach pictures that is a must for any Hawaiian wedding and we love every single bit of the outcome of the photos. Standing for photo after photo can be tiring but Sean made it fun and a great experience. I strongly recommend him for anyone’s wedding or special event.

I feel so honored and blessed to have had photos taken by Sean! He came recommended by a friend who traveled from AZ to HI for her vow renewals after I inquired after seeing her awesome photos on social media. For my family, we were traveling to Maui for our first vacation after losing my spouse (and dad to my kids).Sean was such an attentive listener and compassionate man to our special circumstances. I shared with him first on email and then we talked through it on the phone as well. Taking photos of a family still grieving could be tricky, yet he was so sensitive to the issue and really was fun for us all to work with. He kept it lighthearted and silly to keep all of us living in the moment and enjoying the time together being documented. I am delighted that we have this significant time captured (and even more overjoyed that it was captured through the lens of Sean Hower)!I had a vision of what kind of setting I wanted and he was willing to travel to a different part of the island to get to the perfect spot. I had a couple of other meaningful things I wanted to be done and he went the extra mile to gather information to make sure those too, could be done. Over and beyond this man went!The final product, our photo gallery...wow, wow, wow! It took us many days to pick our favorites. There was a good variety of poses, backgrounds within the space we went to, etc. He has a remarkable eye. All four of us love the photos!!!I could go on and on about this professional, kind, talented man! Any of my friends traveling to Hawaii wanting photos will for sure have to use him and for anyone reading this review looking for a photographer, without any hesitation, I recommend him!Thank you (Mahalo) Sean, from the deepest part of our hearts!

Sean did my family/maternity photos last year.Our initial location for photos didn’t work out, but Sean didn’t let that stop us. Without hesitation, we changed locations and our photos turned out amazing!After giving birth, we called Sean again to do our Newborn photos. He worked so great with our 5 year old and our newborn and he captured several precious moments of our family.Working with Sean is so easy. He’s very patient, especially with children and he was always open to my (many) different ideas, while also adding his own twist.We really appreciate Sean and would highly recommend him for any photography needs.
