HAWAII Weddings AND ELOPEMENTS

BIG ISLAND Hawaii BASED, SERVING ALL Hawaiian Islands

Did you know that most couples spend just as much time with their photographer on their wedding day as their soon to be spouse?

That is why it is so important to choose someone who fits You and Your Personalities

We believe photographs should be Stress Free, and yes - even Fun!

We use a variety of prompts and poses to make photo taking easy and Enjoyable while capturing Raw Emotions and Love.

I have a bubbly personality, I know when I need to get down to business (and tell uncle Jerry it's time for family photos-not the bar) but I also love to laugh and enjoy the day with my couples. Your wedding day is a 
 Celebration of Love and should be treated that way.

The Process

STEP ONE:
LET'S BE
Friends!

 We want your wedding day to fit you and your partner's personalities and visions perfectly, that's why choosing a photographer is no small decision. Before you book we will schedule a free personal consultation hopefully via a coffee date but because many of my couples don't live on island, we can chat via email, text, Facetime, call, or Zoom (whatever works best for you!) to see if we are a good fit together. I want to get to know the details of your wedding, your needs, budget & most importantly, you!

Frequently Asked
Questions

Describe your Style of photography.

I use various prompts and poses to capture authentic emotions throughout the day. My goal is to tell the story of your day starting from those dreamy detail shots all the way to the poppin' dance floor. I edit in a vibrant and timeless style so your photographs will last through the ages. I edit all of my photos to my style with bright colors, lots of light, and some retouching. I do not heavily retouch skin or bodies. If you do have a few photos that you would like retouched, I have separate pricing per photograph at request. 

Where will the Photoshoot be?

After you book your shoot and pay the retainer, I will send a location guide! This guide includes some of my favorite beaches and what to expect with each location. Some beaches are simple to get to and others are a little but more off the beaten path! 

​

Some families also want us to come to their locations and we can usually work that out too!

Will you help with our Timeline?

Once you've booked, I will send you my personal wedding day tips and tricks that I have gathered throughout the years! In this package I have details on how to create a Wedding Day timeline. Once you know how you want your day planned out, send me over your Wedding Day timeline and I can create a photography timeline based on that. If you need more help, we can also plan a meeting to go over your details! 

What is your Flow like on the day of the wedding?

I wear many hats on the wedding day. When it is time for portraits, I am very detailed and help my couples to pose. I also have prompts to capture raw emotions. During family photos I am authoritative and make sure we stay on schedule. But during times where you are just enjoying the day with each other and your guests, I am more of a fly on the wall, capturing candid moments and the details of your day

When will we get the photos?

I give all of my couples a small highlight gallery within 72 hours of their wedding so they can share them with family and friends! My full-gallery delivery time is at-most 12 weeks during busy season.

How do you Choose what photos we receive? Do you send raw photos?

When going through your photos, I choose only the most flattering, best lit, beautiful images to process for you. We take out photos with eyes closed, hair blowing in your face, etc. We never give out raw images as they are large files that have not been processed and therefore do not showcase our final product.

Do you Retouch your images?

I make sure all of my images fit my vibrant style. I will also do light retouching but do not heavily edit skin or bodies.

Do you charge a Travel  fee?

I am based on the Big Island of Hawaii and charge no travel fees for weddings on the island. I also capture weddings on Oahu, Maui, and Kauai for a $500 travel fee. 

How will we Receive our final images?

We deliver our photographs in personalized online album that you can download and share with friends and family. This album also includes a print store where you can order high-quality, color-accurate prints and various canvases. We also offer custom wedding printed wedding albums made to order.

Can we Request specific shots?

Yes - While there may be some things out of my control, I always do my best to help my couples capture their dream shots. I even encourage my couples to send me their inspo photos so I can add them to my shot list for the day!

What can we Expect for our final video?

We love to record our couple's vows or notes to each other for our videos. We get quality audio of our couples and add music to our highlight videos that share the unique story of your day so you can cherish it for years to come. We also offer full recordings of your ceremony and toasts so that you won't miss a thing!

How do we Book?

In order to reserve your date, we require a 30% retainer and signed contract. The rest is due one month before the wedding date. Our contracts and payments are all done on our safe and secure HoneyBook portal where we will also keep your wedding details, questionnaires, and other files for you to view when you'd like. Payments can be made with all major credit or debit cards. We also offer custom payment plans at request.
