Meet Joshua
Aloha, I’m Joshua Galinato, the founder of Gali Productions. For over 8 years, I’ve had the honor of capturing timeless moments and telling couples’ love stories through the lens of my camera. My journey into photography and videography began when my firstborn entered this world—it was then I realized the importance of preserving memories to cherish for a lifetime.
To me, moments are more than just images; they’re stories, emotions, and milestones you’ll look back on and relive in the years to come. That’s what drives my passion—creating visual legacies for couples and families.
Born and raised in Lahaina, Maui, I’m proud to call this paradise my home. I graduated from Lahainaluna High School in 2012, and my roots here inspire the creativity and aloha spirit I bring to every project. When I’m not behind the camera, you can find me surfing, BBQing at the beach, or riding bikes with my family.
Let’s create something beautiful together—your love story deserves to be captured in the most meaningful way possible. 🌺
