FAQ - PROFESSIONAL photoGRAPHY

Email: david@sunsetsatthebeach.com or 808-278-8643.  I'll check my availability. To reserve your date I require a $100 deposit.  Venmo or Zelle or Apple Pay are my preferred payment methods. Please don't make a payment until I confirm my availability. 

 As I'm flexible on swapping dates, times, when I can, if you cancel because you no longer can make it or you think you won't like the weather, I'll only refund the deposit if I'm able to rebook the time.  

Kauai sees lots of rain. Without the rain, it wouldn't be so lush and beautiful here and we accept the rain as part of the life. So unless it's a deluge—an all day pouring thing—my shoots go on as planned. Don't worry, the photos will still come out great. 

You will download your Kauai photography full resolution digital images from a private gallery I will make for you, linked to your email. So it's very important once you book to give me your email address and your mobile phone number.    

Shared ownership. You and me. You have the right to print, sell, publish, etc. When you post on social media I would appreciate being tagged.  I have the right to use your photos and or video for Sunsets At The Beach publicity including print, social media, and websites.   

From the shoot date it is typically 2 to 5 days, a few days longer for weddings with guests and multiple hour events.  

No. It's a $150 add-on. My photofinishing however does includes things like removing  unwanted beach goers, ungainly driftwood, parasols, etc.

More people equals more editing as every person in the photo is edited for, at minimum, balanced illumination.   

 No. Not realistic from a time perspective, unless you want to buy proofs—$250.  

Usually the golden hours—when mother nature cooperates. 

YES. I typically don't make editing mistakes but if you find errors or artifacts introduced by the editing of course I'll fix free of charge. I'll also do minor edit changes on up to 3 photos without charging. Thereafter, my fee is $100/hr and i'll give you an estimate on how long it will take, bearing in mind that not all changes are possible.      

Yes—but only if you've chosen the unedited option -- BYOC OFFER.  I won't edit the photos and give you the RAW. It's one or the other. 

My favorite photo locations are all along our north shore. But I do shoot all over our island.

No. It's not realistic for my time or talent.  I always photograph multiple set-ups. You can select a mini session with 25 edited included photos.    

 This FAQ answers how I work, what you’ll receive, etc so this is my agreement with you. If you agree with this, and you want to book me, just let me know. That’s it. Mahalo.
