LIVING OUR DREAM, CAPTURING YOURS.

Aloha!

 

At Pine & Palm Productions, we are a collective of devoted artists committed to immortalizing life's most cherished moments. Whether capturing the tender embrace of a newly engaged couple or the splendor of a family's treasured vacation, we endeavor to encapsulate the profound magic inherent in these fleeting instances.

Distinguished from traditional photographers and videographers, our ethos centers on cultivating meaningful relationships with our clients and creating an experience of taking photos that extends far beyond the mere act of capturing moments. We aim to encapsulate emotions, preserve narratives, and craft a journey through imagery that resonates deeply with the essence of every individual we have the honor of working with. Our dedication to excellence is unwavering, meticulously attending to every detail, ensuring an experience that surpasses expectations from inception to completion.

We uphold a steadfast principle: no standardized photo presets or compromises in post-production color grading. Each photograph and video undergoes an artisanal process, meticulously crafted as a unique masterpiece.

At Pine & Palm Productions, we transcend the role of mere image-makers; we are artisans dedicated to transforming fleeting moments into timeless, bespoke works of art. Your story, meticulously captured and beautifully narrated, is our ultimate commitment.

Our Name.

Pine & Palm Productions originates from our founders' roots, melding Oregon's Pine (John) and Hawaii's cherished Palm trees (Jessie) into a name that resonates deeply with our personal narratives. Our decision to conclude with "Productions" reflects our diverse array of services, extending beyond photography and videography. Alongside media creation and marketing, our offerings encompass graphic design and social media management. We aspire to be a comprehensive solution for all your content creation necessities, ensuring a one-stop destination for your diverse needs.

Our Story.

Since meeting in 2015, our founders discovered a shared passion for photography, occasionally undertaking freelance projects for diverse clientele. However, their primary commitments remained entrenched in the food and beverage industry. With the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic, Hawai‘i's tourism and local economy faced closures, resulting in the unfortunate loss of employment for both John and Jess.

This unexpected turn of events prompted a reevaluation of their professional trajectories, leading them to pivot towards a new entrepreneurial endeavor. Despite initial reservations regarding the uncertain climate, their leap of faith has proven immensely fruitful. As Pine & Palm Productions ventures into its third year, a landscape ripe with opportunities for expansion unfolds. We are deeply grateful for the courage to embrace this new chapter and for the invaluable connections fostered since our inception.

  • Pine & Palm Productions supports our local community 100%. From capturing a family portrait to creating marketing content for small businesses, we love staying rooted in our local community. Our business has even been able to work side-by-side with our community’s keiki (kids) and non-profit organizations to not only capture their memories but also budget in donations to giveback to the organizations and our precious local community.

    We are so thankful to have roots in the Maui community and love giving back in any way we can.

    If you are a non-profit organization, please feel free to contact us to inquire about how we can connect with you!
