FAQ - PROFESSIONAL photoGRAPHY

This FAQ page answers the most likely question people have so you can book me with confidence. This is my agreement with you.

david@sunsetsatthebeach.com  

$350 to the $1000 + range, depending what type of session: elopement, couples, family photography, big family, surprise proposal, plus how long a photo session, how many edited photos, location on the island, etc.  


Not during peek season but sometimes yes for early morning sessions at Hanalei Bay,  

Check HERE for specials  


I'm flexible on swapping dates, times, when I can, so 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. If it starts to rain during the shoot, I'll continue to shoot unless it pours and we both agree to call it a day. To reschedule you'll need to cover the cost of a new ROE permit ($20). If we cannot reschedule, your deposit can be used up to 1 year later on a future shoot with me, not transferrable, not redeemable for cash. 


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.    


 Yes but only if you purchase the $200 add-on to your package.  The package without any add-ons gives you an option to buy extra photos as I always edit 10-20 more than included in your package. So you will have some selection leeway.  


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 SunsetsAtThe 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.  


Unless it's pouring I usually shoot. An umbrella is a great looking prop in a photo shoot so having one with you is an awesome idea. Bear in mind, rain is commonplace in Kauai. That's why it's so verdant. While it's not common to have persistent rain, five minute showers are typical.   See cancellation policy question in this Q and A.


30-mins before actual sunset if conditions prevail I'll have more control with lighting.  Kauai mornings can be amazing, too. But whatever time, it's really all up to atmospheric conditions, which determine red lightwave or blue lightwave prominence, a blazingly colorful sky or a white sky. Needless, I produce wow-factor photographs at all times of the day. 


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 adjustments on up to 3 photos without charging. For all other fixes my fee is $15-$50 per photo based on what you'd like me to attempt, bearing in mind that not all fixes are possible.      


No. Sorry.  All my photo packages include editing. You can, however, purchase RAW copies for $300 or Jpg copies of all the photos for $200 as an add-on fee to your package. 


You'll need to give me access to an FTP account  (such as WeTransfer).  


Advanced photo touch-up editing. My Creative packages include color correction, bright area smoothing, clutter removal, background enhancement, minor face/body photo touch-up.  Summit is photo-touch for beautification.  


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


Not without a second shooter, a licensed drone flyer. Add-on fees start at $500 


It was 2 long days, morning till night shooting, about 26 hours, and double that in post production +lights and grip rental. Depending on our script, I’d say between $7500 and $12000. The green screen and special effects (illuminated floors, background builds) in that video is what drove up the cost. A love story creative video without special effects, if I can go with your ideas for a blueprint, would run you around $2500. if it’s all my ideas and I have to create a script from scratch, then more.  The video


Kauai surprise proposals? Absolutely. However, an alternative, less costly way to do a proposal is for you to tell your significant other you're having a photo shoot. It will still be a surprise when you pop the question. But doing it this way we'll be eliminating the surprise photoshoot which requires precise time/ precise spot planning.


 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.
