A kauai WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER on a romance novel cover
WHY CHOOSE ME TO BE YOUR KAUAI WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER?
As you're on my wedding photography page, I assume you're coming to Kauai to say "I do." Congrats on becoming engaged.
Looking at my portfolio is a great way to evaluate style, which includes coloring. Because Kauai is so colorful I believe it makes sense to show off its vibrancy in photos. While many photographers are hooked on muted tones and photo filter fads, I like to maintain the richness that Kauai has to offer. Perhaps you can tell that I have almost 20 years of still photo experience, but even more when you add the years behind the camera as a cinematographer.
Am I the most affordable wedding photographer Kauai has to offer? I dare say there's students, novices, part-time photographers who offer bargain prices. But for top-notch, artistic, timely produced photographs...
BIGGER WEDDING photographY sometimes I do
Choosing me to photograph your wedding
I'd do a standout job for you. But, I sparingly take on weddings with lots of guests, by choice. I typically shoot a hundred or more sessions in a year and pride myself in delivering gorgeously edited photographs 2-3 days after the shoot. If I were to take on more than a couple of larger weddings, my delivery schedule would take a hit. With that said, if you love my photos, and want to discuss your larger wedding (multiple hours, reception, etc) we can chat.
If not me, another local photographer or a destination wedding photographer?
A destination wedding photographer is a photographer who travels to different destinations across the world to photograph a wedding. Destination wedding photographers are often
hired to fly to Kauai, sometimes even from Oahu. Of course using a destination wedding photographer goes against the grain of “buy local / use local” that’s especially meaningful in Kauai.
Kauai wedding photographers
For small weddings and elopements most couples don’t think twice about hiring local talent. Small weddings in Kauai usually take place on the beach, have authentic yet snappy ceremonies, and then your Kauai wedding photographer whisks you away to a private photo session. She/he might take you along a dreamy shoreline with misty mountains behind you, or lead you to a lush beach trail, where hanging palms and ironwood trees sigh in the breeze. Kauai photographers know the best spots and your photos will be an absolute merger of you and Kauai. I’d be thrilled to discuss your elopement wedding with you and see if I can get you into my calendar.
If you're having a larger wedding...
Your photos deserve to be timeless visuals, collectively telling a unique story: “The Day you got Married.” If I can swing you into my calendar, assuming you'd want me to be your Kauai photographer, I'd give you stunning, timeless and unique wedding photography. If we cannot come to an arrangement, there are other photographers in Kauai skillful enough to produce wow wedding photographs, worthy of publication. Please consider local talent.

Experience is invaluable
Before photography as a profession, I'd weave the triangulation of story, creative interpretation, and execution into movies. After switching to photography for a quieter life in Kauai (which turned out to be hardly quieter) I still maintain a triangulation: pre-shoot visualization, photoshoot execution, and post-shoot editing. So story-telling continues to run through my veins.
Most of the weddings I take on are elopements, more often than not without any guests. When I take on wedding photography that requires multiple hours, and has a flow of guests, I'll always ask for a pre-wedding meeting so that we can be on the same page. This is a once in a lifetime moment and we both want to get it right. It's important to you, and to me.
