"You did an absolutely fabulous job, from arranging our special event to the beautiful photography.  THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!  We are so delighted with the way everything turned out.  Your photography is amazing and we love all of the photos.  Everyone loves your work!  When my parents (they are professional photographers) saw your work it brought tears to their eyes.  Thank you so much for creating such a memorable and special day for us.  Rachel & Doug Limon, Minnesota

"Hello Shasta, Penny Calsyn here.  Just wanted to thank you so much for making our wedding so special, so perfect, so worry free!!!!  You did an awesome job finding the perfect beach location.  The pictures you took were exquisite.  Steve and I were so impressed, as were our family and friends.  Although I hate having my picture taken, I never tire of looking at our wedding photo album.  The way you captured the sunset was just amazing.  I am so thankful for having chosen you as our wedding consultant.  I would recommend you to anyone getting married in Maui.  Thanks again for all you did to make our wedding day so perfect."  Penny and Steve Calsyn, Illinois

"I just had to tell you once again how much I appreciate everything you did for my husband and I, and how beautiful and perfect everything turned out. I am always nervous and overly detailed as you know, so I have to say that up until the moment I walked out of the bedroom at that ladies house and saw for myself how absolutely gorgeous the back yard was, I had to fight back the tears. Shasta you outdid yourself!!!! My husband Jack and our entire wedding party have said the same thing. They could not believe how beautiful it was. Plus, we all loved the minister. Your videographer Craig was wonderful too! He did such a great job on the video, I could not believe it!! I will be showing the video during my reception back at home. And finally, Shelly the hairdresser was so great! I had a very rough morning before she came and she was so sympathetic and sweet! And everyone loved my hair! And Shasta, I love every single photo that you took that day!!!! The hardest part is trying to decide which ones I want enlarged and duplicated. Every photo is just beautiful. Thank you for everything, Shasta! Thank you for being so great and for making our day so absolutely wonderful! I will be forever grateful!
Kristie and Jack McKethen, Illinois 

"We wanted to thank you again for the wonderful job you did.  The pictures are all beautiful.   We have received many compliments.  Everyone is in awe of your talent.  You captured that day perfectly as it felt like we were truly starting another phase of our lives.  You did a great job!  We feel you have bent over backwards to help accommodate us, we know it was hard since my husband was on active duty at the time.  We will treasure that day for the rest of our lives.  Mahalo!"  John and Connie Linder, Nebraska, Vow Renewal

"We thought it would be a bit hard, planning a wedding on Maui, when we lived in Norway, but we were wrong. You were the reason we decided to get married on Maui and we will never regret that. We wanted our wedding to be special, and you did an outstanding job. First of all, you were great with the planning. We trusted you completely, and it came out perfect. Shelly, the hairdresser you arranged, is the best hairdresser I have ever met. She made me feel like a princess on my big day. We would also like to thank Ron for the lovely ceremony. It was really something! Our wedding pictures turned out great. We have gotten so many compliments for them back in Norway, so truly you managed to capture the magic of our special day. Mahalo Shasta. So for all you engaged couples out there, if you want a very special wedding, we recommend Maui Weddings From The Heart." Lene and Bard Brathen Nappen, "very satisfied customers", Aaneby, Norway

"Thank you for making our wedding very special.  Everything was wonderful.  Nothing could have been done to improve our experience.  All the photographs are beautiful.  Thank you so much for making the day so perfect!  It was just perfect.  Thanks!  Eric and Sandra Kimmet, Washington

 
"The pictures are fantastic. As I mentioned before, your portfolio was the reason I chose you, and I have had a great experience with your company. I would recommend you to anyone asking for a reference for Hawaii weddings or vow renewals. The beach was perfect. My husband is not a big fan of crowds for things such as these and he was happy with the location and privacy of the beach. Also Marcie is fantastic and I have received numerous comments on my hair and make-up. Again, I wish to thank you for your services." Cheryl and Don Roberts, Vow Renewal, California

Our friends will be contacting you for a renewal ceremony this fall, and we'll see you then! Thanks so much." Liz and Mark Gogolewski, California

"We just got our pictures yesterday, and they are amazing! I feel like I'm reading straight from your web site where you have wonderful reviews. I just love every one of them...they're so perfect, and naturally I'm going to be keeping them all. I can't wait to get the negatives. Everybody wants copies. We just love them! I can't thank you enough. It was just SO perfect!" Melanie and Kevin Guerrero, Massachusetts

"Thank you so much for making our wedding such a delightful and beautiful experience. You were so patient with my parents and your choice of the private oceanfront setting was perfect.

Vicki and David Hatfield, California

"I can't tell you how thrilled we are with the photos. We have decided to keep the whole album, as none of them were bad! We've received so many compliments about your work.

"We received the pictures and are so impressed by the quality of your work. You were able to capture our feelings and the beauty of Maui in a very unique way. Were those pictures re-touched? We look way better than I remembered. There are no words to truly express our gratitude for capturing those moments for us. Thank you so much." Socorro and Tony Mendez, California

"I want you to know how much we loved working with you. After the ceremony, both Ben and I felt like you and Ron were friends of ours. Ron's ceremony was so perfect for us it was as if he knew our hearts. We felt like Ron was in synch with our dreams about our wedding, as if we had known him for years and he understood us. The location was exactly as I had imagined it and the flowers were beautiful. And your photos are exquisite! They are romantic and make us look beautiful. You even got me, the bride, to smile! You made something so extremely important to us extremely beautiful and spiritual. We felt very blessed for having you and Ron to marry us. I have been to two weddings in the last two weeks and neither reached the level of soulfulness and heartfeltness that ours did. We recommend Maui Weddings From The Heart to anyone wishing a heartfelt, romantic and caring wedding ceremony." Lynne Gilliland and Ben Garber, Maryland

"I want to thank you for the wonderful job you did coordinating and photographing our Hawaii wedding. Everything was perfect! Better than either of us had imagined or planned. Another couple said they didn't know what they wanted, so I highly recommended you and gave them your card and encouraged them to look at your web site and call you. Your gentle demeanor and confident manner put both of us at ease. The minister was excellent, and I am awestruck with how beautiful the photos are. Also, the songs the guitarist chose were absolutely perfect and Keith did a great job with the video. The caterers were phenomenal! Yorman did a great job and the food was to die for!! Thanks again for making our special day perfect, or as you say in Maui, mahalo." Penny and Glen Renaud, Ontario, Canada

I'm sure you get this all the time, but after you did such a wonderful job planning out all our wedding stuff I feel like you are a longtime dear friend! We have decided which photos we would like to keep, you did a fantastic job by the way! I can't wait to get the negatives and get our favorites enlarged. I have a friend who is a professional photographer and he also complimented you on your work! Take care. Julie and Fritz Snider, Washington

Thanks so much!" Dawn & Todd Jenkins, Michigan

We really appreciate how well everything went. Everyone you arranged to be there was wonderful. The minister and videographer were great, and the guitarist was so talented and without knowing it, he sang one of my favorite songs. It was nice not to worry about making the arrangements. Halama Hale was beautiful and the catering was excellent. Thanks again, Shasta." Judy and Terry Porter, Texas

We were a little concerned about not meeting you before the wedding, but I would recommend doing a Maui wedding by you to anyone.

All of our friends and family can't believe how beautifully they came out. Thanks again." Craig and Brooke Harrell, Indiana
