Hi, I am

Mai Koch

 

Let's get to know each other

Hey there!


I’m Mai—a laid-back, adventure-loving, camera-obsessed storyteller who’s all about capturing love, laughter, and those little in-between moments that make life beautiful. Born and raised in Honolulu, Hawai’i, my passion for photography started young, and it’s only grown stronger—especially after meeting my husband, Fabian, who helped me discover my love for wedding photography.


I’m your go-to hype-person, always up for an adventure, and I promise our time together will be filled with fun, laughter, and a whole lot of “Oohs! I love it!!” I’ll make sure you feel at ease in front of the camera so we can create stunning, natural moments together.


When I’m not photographing love stories, you’ll find me hiking, traveling, indulging in desserts (chocolate and cookies are my weakness!), or binge-watching Korean dramas. Oh, and if there’s a food festival nearby? You know I’ll be there!


Photography isn’t just a job for me—it’s about building connections. My clients become friends, and I cherish every story I get to tell. Whether we’re capturing your wedding, elopement, or engagement, I’ll be right there with you, making sure every magical moment is beautifully preserved.


I can’t wait to meet you and be part of your story!

Lets' connect

As a wedding photographer, we don’t just wait for moments—we help create them, gently guiding, encouraging, and drawing out the raw, beautiful emotions that make your love story truly unforgettable.
