"Frequently Asked Questions"
.
1. "Why are your prices so much lower than those of your competitors?"  There are a number of reasons. Mostly because my operating overhead is relatively low and I do a "very comfortable" volume of business (as I frequently work with my wife, Rev. Kolleen and her successful All Ways Maui'd Weddings company). I've also streamlined my post photography procedures so that the overall amount of time spent on a given project is minimal, and, as they say, "time is money."  I also don't have a staff to pay, nor a "hungry" webmaster to make frequent changes to a "fancy" web site. While I firmly believe that my photography is easily as good as anyone's, I really don't have the desire to be so "extreme" with my pricing - to me, what's fair is fair.

2. "How, and how soon can we get our pictures?"  If you cannot pick up your photo CD (or DVD) directly within ten business days of your session, it will be sent to you ASAP via Air Mail, at no charge to U.S. or Canadian addresses. Film-based photos are ready within three business days (exceptions may occur around major holidays). Insured Priority Mail delivery of your film photos (to Mainland and Canadian addresses) is available for $10.00, or $5.00 for CDs (somewhat more to all other countries). Time allowing, your pictures will be available to you at my home office in Waikapu, just off Hwy. 30 four miles north of the Maui Ocean Center Aquarium at Ma'alaea Harbor - early to mid afternoons preferred.

3. "How will our photographs look when enlarged?"  Great! With my 35mm shots you'll get excellent enlargements, up to as large as 24x36-inches (if you really want to go that big). My digital images will print out very nicely at 8x12, and up to as large as 16x20 with virtually no loss of quality. (I would also suggest that you get all larger sizes - 8x12 and up - printed on a high quality [flat] matte photo paper - they'll look very classy that way. However, you'll probably have to get this done at a pro photo lab or studio doing business in the area where you live.)

4. "I arranged for my ceremony's photography via a company other than Seventh Wave PhotoGraphics or All Ways Maui'd Weddings & Ceremonies. This other company charged me a much higher rate than what I later found posted at your website. Why is this?" There are a number of different "outside" wedding planners and coordinators who book my photography services (for their clients) on a regular basis. Unfortunately, I have no control over what they, in turn, charge folks. Thank you very much for your understanding in this regard.
