Deelia Nelson Photography

About

Sixteen years ago Deelia Nelson left San Diego for Maui chasing the island lifestyle, and she now raises her two daughters there while running a lifestyle and wedding photography business out of Kihei. Her niche is the small end of the wedding spectrum: elopements, intimate weddings, and vow renewals, with published wedding and elopement coverage starting at $950 plus tax. That entry rate includes a beach permit where one is needed, every final digital file, location assistance, and vendor recommendations — practical inclusions for couples flying in without local knowledge. Her session menu rounds out with a $400 mini session, a $750 classic session, and a $950 adventure session, so traveling couples can also book portraits before or after a ceremony. Stylistically she chases the in-between moments, the stolen glances and candid laughter rather than stiff poses. Maui is her sole service area, which keeps her local expertise deep: she works the island's beaches regularly and knows the permit landscape. For a sub-$1,000 published starting point with permits handled, she is one of Maui's most approachable options.
