Photography for Four Seasons Maui Guests
We can photograph you in front of the Four Seasons.
A quieter beach, a short drive from the resort.
The Four Seasons Resort Maui sits on fifteen oceanfront acres along the golden crescent of Wailea Beach — one of Maui’s most beautiful, and, at sunset, one of its busiest. Rather than work around the evening crowds, we usually meet a short drive away, on a quieter stretch of sand where the light is just as golden and the view behind you is yours alone.
For guests staying at the Four Seasons, it’s a short drive. Spend your afternoon by the adults-only serenity pool or the spa, get ready in your own room, and meet us as the light turns gold. Prefer to stay on Wailea Beach right in front of the resort? Just ask — depending on the evening and the crowd, we’re glad to talk it through.
All-inclusive — with no middle-man markup.
When a photographer is arranged through a resort or concierge desk, a commission is almost always folded into what you pay. We’re different. Wailea Photo is an independent, family-run studio, so you book directly with us — and the price you see is the entire price, with no concierge fee or third-party markup added on top.
Every session is all-inclusive: one flat rate covers the shoot and all of your naturally edited, high-resolution images, with full print rights and high-end color finishing, delivered in a private online gallery within about 48 hours — no per-image charges, no hidden gallery unlock fees and no upsells afterward. And every session is photographed personally by one of the Balters, never an outside contractor.
What guests ask us.
Where do you photograph — right in front of the Four Seasons?
Usually not. Wailea Beach in front of the resort gets very crowded at sunset, so we normally meet a short drive away — on a quieter beach where the light is just as beautiful and the setting is far more private.
Can we photograph on Wailea Beach right in front of the resort?
Yes, but you’ll need to request it when you book — we have our preferred beach locations and go there by default. Staying at the resort also adds a small fee to cover the valet parking. Because that stretch can get very crowded at sunset, we usually recommend the quieter spot nearby — but the choice is yours.
Do I have to book through the resort’s concierge?
No. We’re an independent, family-run studio, so you book directly with us at one all-inclusive price. Nothing is added on top — no concierge fee and no commission.
How much is a session, and what’s included?
Every session is all-inclusive: one price, quoted when you book, covers the shoot and every one of your naturally edited, high-resolution images, delivered in a private online gallery within about 48 hours.
We have young children — can we stay closer to the resort?
Yes. For families with toddlers who would prefer to stay closer to the resort, we’ll do our best to accommodate a nearby location — just request it when you book. If we photograph at the Four Seasons itself, we add a small fee to cover the valet parking.
What time will we meet?
We photograph around sunset, when the light is at its best, so your exact start time shifts with the season. We’ll confirm the evening’s sunset time and where to meet as soon as you book.
