The Silver Package

On Maui’s North Shore, Haiku-Pauwela unfolds as a pocket of verdant coastline where surf, reef, and trade-wind light conspire to make beach weddings sing. The Silver Package is a full-service beach wedding photography and coordination option led by photographer Clarissa Hempel, built to give couples a calm, beautifully photographed day on Maui. You choose the location—whether a quiet crescent of sand, a rocky point with crashing swells, or a sheltered cove—and Clarissa’s team handles permits, insurance, officiant guidance, and on-site coordination so the frame is as seamless as the vows.

This package includes Clarissa and an assistant, professional editing and retouching of all delivered images, full reproduction rights, and 2.5 hours of photography coverage with two portrait locations for newlyweds. Couples receive 125 retouched high-resolution images via a custom online gallery, with lab-quality prints, albums, and extra edited images available a la carte. A second photographer can be requested for an added fee.

Practical extras—marriage license guidance, beach permit and liability insurance, up to 25 guests, a bridal bouquet and boutonniere, and two traditional leis (Ti leaf and white orchid)—make the day intimate and authentic without logistical stress. The Silver Package stands out because it wraps creative photography with local knowledge: Clarissa knows where light plays best on Maui’s basalt rocks, how to time portraits around afternoon winds, and which small sand pockets yield private ceremony settings. The inclusion of a beach permit and an on-site coordinator removes the usual guesswork of planning a coastal ceremony, while full reproduction rights mean you own every edited frame.

Key features to expect are shoreline ceremonies, two portrait locations chosen for contrast, and flora like Ti leaf and white orchids used in lei exchanges. The package respects local customs while operating within county permit rules—important on popular Maui beaches—and is nonrefundable. Travel time from Kahului airport is typically 20–40 minutes depending on traffic, and many couples base themselves in Paia, Haiku-Pauwela, or Kahului for easy morning access to beaches.

The booking includes a list of recommended vendors for hair & makeup, caterers, and restaurants to streamline planning. Clarissa’s editing style favors natural color, careful skin retouching, and consistent tones across the 125 images included, and full reproduction rights mean you can print and share freely. Remember the policy: Nonrefundable.
