Your wedding day is one of the most important days of
your life. You're going to travel a long way and spend a
lot of time and money to get to Maui and you want it all to
go perfectly. You want a photographer who is on time,
pleasant to work with, and creates beautiful pictures.
"Prompt and Friendly" is my motto, and I understand what it
takes to compose a good photo. I know my cameras and the
lighting, but I am ultimately successful when, at a glance,
the emotion being felt by the subjects is instantly
understood when the photo is viewed.
I always have my camera at the ready - I'm looking
for the love between the bride and groom and their
families, but I am also looking for that exceptional and
interesting shot of surprise, pleasure, joy, relief,
beauty, and kindness. As the photographer, I'm also often
in charge of setting up the wedding party and arranging the
schedule for post-wedding photos. Let's say you are
planning a sunset wedding on the beach. We'll talk before
the ceremony and I will reassure you that I will get many
good shots during the ceremony and that afterward we'll get
get the whole group and sub-groupings (parents, wedding
party, all the girls, all the boys etc etc), the cake
cutting, the toast, while leaving plenty of time before
sunset to concentrate on the bride and groom. This may
sound a little busy, but I have shot over 500 weddings and
I guarantee it will all seem effortless. The important
thing is that everyone remains relaxed and that the
atmosphere is kept light and pleasant.
I am able to keep my rates very attractive since my
policy is to give my clients a CD with "many" (depending on
package) excellent photos at very high resolution. The
clients are then free to reproduce, enlarge, and email the
photos as they desire.
