My fiancé and I hired Divine Design for our engagement photos. When looking through their Instagram, I was incredibly impressed with their use of light; the motions of the water; and the natural beauty of Maui’s landscape to emphasize the couples that they photograph. I remember thinking, “I want our own versions of their entire profile!!” When we met Juan Velilla in Maui, he did not disappoint! This was the first photo shoot that my fiancé and I ever did together. We were both worried we wouldn’t know how to pose or what to do with our hands, but we grew comfortable with Juan very quickly. By the end, my fiancé and I felt like we were just at a fun date on the beach! Juan instilled this sort of effortless joy to our shoot and I’m sure it’s something he brings to each one. After the shoot, we were SO excited to see how our pictures turned out. Yet again, Juan did not disappoint! Not only did he send us our gallery well in advance of when we expected them (and over a holiday weekend!), every time we look through it, we find new favorites! We ended up using 15 pictures on our wedding website because we simply could not narrow it down any further. Not surprisingly, we have been showered with many compliments. Needless to say, I would absolutely recommend hiring Divine Design as your photographer for whatever occasion! Thank you, Juan.

My wife and I could not be any more pleased with Divine Design Photography. We hired Juan Pablo to help introduce our new born baby boy Trusten to our family and he surely captured all the love we have for our son! We are very happy!! Trusten wasn’t exactly cooperating and fussing but somehow Juan Pablo created a gallery full of life, color, joy, and a story we will forever cherish! We really cannot believe how well these photographs turned out. We haven’t stopped looking at these photos and are extremely impressed. Aside from the gallery he created it was nice for him to also give us different ways to print, develop and express our photos in such high quality. This gives us the opportunity to create wall images, posters, 4x8’s, a gallery of our own and a whole lot more! We will be suggesting Limned Light Photography to all our friends and business partners and you should too! Aloha and God Bless! 😇

We had our engagement photo session a few weeks ago and the pictures came out AMAZING!! Juan is so friendly and talented. My fiancé and I are both awkward in front of the camera but Juan made it so much fun and the pictures came out very natural and show none of the awkwardness. We only have good things to say about Divine Design. Hope to work with them again in the near future. Thank you so much for the memories!

After researching many photographers for our engagement photos, we finally found Divine Design and could not be happier with our choice! Juan is so talented, patient and kind. We were so nervous as this was our first time getting our pictures taken, but Juan made the whole experience so fun and easy. We are so impressed with how our photos turned out. Each photo tells the story of us. His photography is truly unique and artistic. We 100% recommend Divine Design!!

“It was an amazing experience getting our engagement photos done with the team at Divine Design in two incredibly beautiful and secluded locations in Maui. We did the adventure package- the first location was fun and more of an experience that Juan handpicked for us, and the second location was the ultimate romantic sunset spot. The photos are graced with beautiful natural light, look timeless, and are without the artificial filtering effects we saw and avoided in other portfolios. Highly recommend you work with this team!”

Where to begin? Divine Design photography did such an amazing job capturing our elopement. My husband is not a “huge fan of getting pictures taken but had an absolute blast during our session. Juan makes everyone feels so comfortable and truly wants to capture authentic shots. As busy as our beach was, Juan was able to get pictures without a single person in them. Limned Light is very creative with their shots and editing. We expected to wait a while to receive our gallery, but received all the pictures very promptly. If you have any doubts of who to choose when getting your pictures taken, Divine Design will not disappoint!”

We connected with JuanPablo and Kristen online and were very impressed with the photos on their website and knew we wanted to have them take our engagement photos. We were not disappointed - they brought us to a beautiful spot in Maui that we would not have ever been able to find ourselves and took amazing sunset shots! They are a great team and we loved our pictures - thank you!!

“I worked with Juan and Kristen for a collaboration to capture some lifestyle images of my swimwear brand Manakai. I was so pleased with the gorgeous images they provided me. Both have a vast amount of experience behind and in front of the camera which is a huge benefit when it comes to directing individuals who may not be familiar with being in front of the camera. What a lovely duo with talented visions in front and behind the camera. Thank you Juan and Kristen”.
