Viewing our photographs we joyously relive the day in a way I never could have imagined!

Gordon, Mami, Jayanne and Robert

We were in awe when we first viewed Gordon Nash's portfolio and his photographic excellence. He is a master at capturing precious moments and providing portfolio quality images. We are very fortunate and grateful that Gordon and Mami were there to capture our wedding day. They were so fun and easy to work with. We are truly amazed with all our breathtaking images. Viewing our photographs we joyously relive the day in a way I never could have imagined.
Although we didn't have a wedding planner, Jayanne became a most fortunate contact. She provided us with photography details, offered information, assistance and genuinely inquired to our needs. We were very grateful for her last minute attention when we failed to plan accordingly. She swiftly gathered details on ceremony and minster preference and found us the perfect minister.
Our minister, Robert Alamodin preformed a beautiful and captivating ceremony. We are so delighted and blessed he was there to help create such a beautiful memory. So many people commented on the ceremony and how much they enjoyed it.
Gordon Nash's photographic reputation precedes him his wedding packages are perfectly created. Gordon Nash and Paradise Dream truly exceeded our expectations!

We are so glad we got “Maui’d” with Paradise Dreams!

To everyone at Paradise Dreams that made our special day so amazing,

This was our first trip to Hawaii and our wedding day was a perfect, stress free day. We could not have been more happy with everyone that worked on our wedding. From the first day I spoke with Jayanne, when I was still looking for the perfect photographer and planner, I knew I made the right choice. Jayanne made everything so easy, it only took a couple phone calls and emails for the plan to come together. She knew from the beginning how important it was for us to have an experience we would never forget and also the pictures and video to help us relive those memories whenever we wanted.

Jackie did my hair and makeup and she was so much fun! I had the best time getting ready and had no stress at all!

Once we arrived at the wedding, we met Laki, our minister. He was absolutely perfect for us! He made our ceremony so much fun. Jayanne couldn’t of known it at the time, but booking him for our wedding was a perfect fit. We will never forget him and how perfect he made our ceremony.

Our guitarist, Louise was wonderful. She even sang special requested songs that we had with no problem at all.

Brian was our videographer and our video was so much more than we ever expected. It not only captured the ceremony, but also all the emotion that we felt that day. He stayed through our entire photo shoot catching video even after the ceremony. We never imagined we would get all that we did. When we got to watch the video it truly took us back to that moment. It was absolutely amazing.

Gordon was our photographer. He was the reason we booked with Paradise Dreams. I knew that I wanted the perfect photographs from our wedding and after looking at Gordon’s portfolio I knew I would get it. He was great to work with and gave us exactly what we wanted from our pictures. It was a bonus to also have Mami at our wedding as a second photographer and also photo editor. She did an amazing job. Our pictures were everything we could have hoped for and more. They captured our special intimate moments and also the laughs that we shared on our special day. I was so anxious to see our photos and Gordon and Mami even emailed us a sneak peak the night after the ceremony. I was so excited.

Everything turned out even better than we could of ever imagined. Everything was beautiful and the location and weather was perfect. Thank you to everyone at Paradise Dreams for truly making our dream come true. We are so glad we got “Maui’d” with Paradise Dreams!

Thank you to the whole team for making our wedding a true paradise dream come true!

When we were choosing photographers in Hawaii for our wedding, we came across Gordon Nash’s portfolio. I just knew we had to have him capture our wedding moments and he is literally why we chose to come to Maui over the other islands! That said, the Maui sunset made for incredible photos, which we are absolutely ecstatic about! Gordon and Mami are certainly masters of their craft.

Most of our pre-wedding interactions were with Jayanne, the wedding coordinator. She was very prompt and professional. She had everything organized for us and gave detailed instructions; all we had to do was show up! Mari did my hair and make up which looked dewy and natural, exactly what I had wanted. Tino, our minister, gave us a very emotional and heartfelt ceremony at the beautiful Makena Cove beach.

Gordon and Mami knew I was itching to see the photos and share them with family; we were emailed 5 edited sneak peek photos before midnight on the day of our sunset wedding! We were extremely pleased with the expedited service, although the photos were so awesome it would have totally been worth a wait.

Thank you to the whole team for making our wedding a true paradise dream come true!

We had a wonderful time and everything turned out perfectly!

To everyone at A Paradise Dream,

Thank you so much for all your hard work on our wedding. We had a wonderful time and everything turned out perfectly.

From the beginning, everything was so easy to plan. A few simple emails and phone calls to Jayanne and everything was ready. She scheduled it all and gave very easy to follow and detailed instructions so we knew what we had to do. Thanks to Jayanne we did not stress one bit, we knew she had everything ready for us when we arrived.
Liz did my hair and makeup and she did an awesome job, I never would have thought I could look so good!
Our minister was Adam Gomes and he delivered exactly what we were hoping for. It was a very nice intimate Hawaiian ceremony, just the way we wanted.
Gordon was our photographer and the reason we booked with A Paradise Dream. We saw his work online and instantly knew he was the photographer for us. And he did not disappoint! He was fantastic to work with, very easy going and knows exactly what to do for that amazing shot. Mami did the photo editing and also did a great job, and we couldn't believe how fast we got our photos.

Everything turned out exactly how we had imagined. The flowers were absolutely stunning, and the weather was beautiful. We love all of our photos so much that it's hard to pick a favorite. We are so glad we chose to get married on Maui, it was a dream come true. Thanks again to everyone!

Gordon & Mami are two of the world’s best in their craft!

Our family vacation on the Big Island will be forever remembered from the incredibly beautiful and vivid family photos Gordon Nash and Mami Horie captured of my family. I’ve had the pleasure to work with many photographers, from all over, but when it comes to people, Gordon and Mami are two of the world’s best! Easy to be with…easy to work with…and “world class” in their craft.
Thank you Gordon and Mami!
