Rooted in faith, fueled by love, and living island life. I’m an Oʻahu Wedding Photographer, Wife, and Boy Mom about to welcome my first baby girl. From “I do” to growing bellies and brand-new babies, I document love in all its seasons—couples, maternity, families, and newborns. Based on Hawaiʻi, always led by Jesus, and forever grateful for the stories I get to tell.

Your Story,

Your Love,

Working with me is all about connection, real moments, and a little bit of magic sprinkled in. From the moment you reach out, I’m here to answer your questions, guide you through the process, and make it feel easy, fun, and totally stress-free. On your wedding day or during a family session, my goal is simple: keep you laughing, relaxed, and fully in the moment while I capture all the big milestones and the tiny, in-between moments that make your story uniquely yours. By the time you get your final images, you’ll have a collection that’s joyful, heartfelt, and full of love — a true celebration of your story, your family, and your legacy.

LOVE STORIES FROM PAST CLIENTS

" Maria Tellez Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding "

From the very beginning, Maria's communication was very engaging, attentive, and professional. She was great with us on the day of the wedding, not only capturing beautiful, detail-oriented, visionary and artistic moments, but also being very personable and easy to work with. Maria went above and beyond, helping to keep me calm and unstressed on an otherwise hectic day. The pictures she delivered were incredible, perfectly capturing the magic and beauty of our special day. We couldn't be happier with the value and quality of Maria's work, and highly recommend her to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photographer.
