Maltese Dreams

We scheduled our family photos for a group of 17, and from the start Josie responded quickly and was a dream to plan with! From start to finish our experience was excellent and the product was perfect! Price was right and turn around time was impeccable! More...

We were married this Valentine's Day! We had a simple ceremony, just the two of us. Everything was outstanding! We found Maltese Dreams website to be easy to navigate. The package prices are impressive. Everyone involved, Minister Carrll, Regina, who did hair and make up, and Josie who did photography were timely, professional and friendly! Unfortunately we did not expect inclement weather, which made our plans for a beach front ceremony unfeasible. Josie, who did some quick thinking provided several options and we were able to have it on our hotel grounds. It ended up almost being better than the beach because we got some extraordinary photos! All the planning was effortless and everything went seamless. We would highly recommend Maltese Dreams for anyone desiring a beautiful Hawaiian Island wedding!!Brent and Jody W. More...

Thirteen years ago my bride-to-be and I searched for the perfect place and time to have our wedding ceremony. We settled on Maui, Hawaii. When we searched for a wedding planner, one name ,kept coming up, Josie Maltese. We contacted Josie, and she assured us that she would take care of everything. When we arrived on Maui, we were met by Josie. She had made an appointment for us to get our marriage license; located the perfect time and place for our ceremony; retained a minister to perform the ceremony; retained a wonderful musician to play harp during the ceremony; arranged for flowers, including leis and bridal bouquet; and since Josie is a professional photographer, she agreed to take the photography. Everything went perfectly, and we were very pleased. Recently, an opportunity arrived for us to return to Maui. We immediately thought of renewing our vows where we had first performed them 13 years ago. We contacted Josie, who is still in business, to arrange the ceremony. She performed the same services in the same outstanding manor that she did 13 years ago. Thank you Josie for two wonderful and memorable events in our lives. Michael and Donna Weeks More...

Finding the right photographer to capture the beauty of Hawaii plus the intimacy of a small wedding is challenging, but within a few minutes of meeting Josie, we knew we were in good hands! From moment one, we didn’t worry about a thing, because Josie took control of the entire engagement. Most importantly, she knew where and when we should shoot. Our wedding was at sunset on a public beach, so getting the right lighting at the right place to capture the colors at the right time was paramount. Josie works masterfully with the angles and lighting to capture our moments in the most elegant and romantic way possible. She brought our vision to life, and I couldn’t be any happier. Our experience with Josie was exceptional and I would recommend her to anyone who wants a professional and talented photographer to capture their memories on their special day. More...

We wanted a small ceremony with just the two of us but still wanted the special touches of a “big” wedding. The “Just Maui’d” package on Josie’s Maltese Dreams website was perfect…flowers, cake, celebratory toast, pictures – everything for an affordable price. She set up and took care of every detail which meant a lot to us since we were planning this from 4,000 miles away. My spouse and I have known each other for 30 years, so we were not the “usual” wedding couple. Josie made sure everything was beautiful and exactly what we wanted. The pictures are gorgeous, she is an amazing photographer. We highly recommend Josie Maltese as a wedding planner and a photographer, she was fabulous.Kim & Eddie More...

I had short notice to plan my Wedding in Maui. I knew I wanted a beach sunset wedding and had to plan it all in less then 2 months. I was so fortunate that I hired Josie. She took care of everything. She hired the minister, videographer, and made all the plans for a perfect sunset beach wedding. It was all captured by her amazing photography. She captured it all in her photos. The sunset photos are amazing! Josie has years of experience and it shows. One of the reason we choose her, her extensive wedding photography experience along with her connections on being on island for 30 years. She was the reason our wedding was a success and we have it all thanks to her. More...

Jojo made my wedding day absolutely perfect! She took every bit of stress away that I had and was very affordable. She not only is the photographer but was also the cordinator for us, she made the appointment for our marriage license to be done and also made the appointment for the minister to come to the sight. She had a sight in mind and suggested we do a sunset wedding, after receiving detailed directions to the sight we arrived to an amazing beach with an unreal  sunset for photos. She made the photo taking very fun and easy, I am very self-conscious about my weight and she made me feel so comfortable and had us do poses that accented my body  .. it was beyond my expectations!!

I have known Jo Jo for over 20 years so naturally Jo Jo photographed our wedding when we got married in Hawaii. Her photography is both beautiful and creative. Her ideas are unique and she has a way of capturing your personalities. She is always thinking ahead and doesn't miss a perfect sunset or rainbow for you. Also something to consider when booking destination weddings; Jo Jo is a wedding coordinator and knows not only Maui wedding protocol but the best "I do" spots on the island. She is extremely reliable with a style that is casual and laid back so there's never any stress with her weddings. More...
