Thank you in advance for your interest in my photographic services. I've resided in Maui for the past 28 years, and I've been providing professional, high-quality wedding and ceremony photography for happy clients from around the world since 1999 (after some 15 years as an award-winning photo hobbyist). I have the Hawai'i Film Office's official beach photography permit, and I am fully insured. I use (and highly recommend) Nikon (tm) cameras, lenses and accessories.

I shoot ceremonies "photo-journalistically" - I don't try for "high art" - but that doesn't necessarily mean that my photography isn't "artistic." It's my primary intention to capture "your special day" as faithfully as possible, in great detail, and to provide you with pictures that will rate at the very top of your "wow meter." (I can create a Picasa web album of your pictures for a nominal fee, but, sorry, I don't do hard-copy prints, albums or coffee table books.)

While my wife's All Ways Maui'd Weddings & Ceremonies offers four attractive ceremony packages that include my photography, I'm also available for "outside" sessions as well. My most "affordable" photo option (#1) has me shooting as many 12.3-megapixel color images as I can, for up to one full hour. Those images - often approaching, sometimes exceeding 300 - are recorded onto a new, freshly formatted 4GB CompactFlash (CF) Memory Card. Then, at the conclusion of our time together, I'll give the memory card to you, to use as you see fit. My price for this option is $200 + tax.

My other option (#2) has me shooting a comparable number of pictures (over a one-hour time period), but, unlike the above option, these images will be retained by me, and, in turn, color corrected in Photoshop (tm) as (or if) needed. They'll then be burned to a data DVD (which will usually be available to you within five business days). If you are unable to pick up your picture disc at my home/office, it will be air mailed to you ASAP (at no additional charge to all U.S. or Canadian addresses). Also, as a bonus, each disc will include a series of some 450 scenic Maui shots for your added enjoyment. My price for this option, for parties of 10 or fewer persons - including the bride and groom - is $300 + tax. For parties of eleven persons or more, add another $50.

For further coverage, beyond the initial first hour (for additional on-location photography, or for your reception, etc.), my fee is $50 for each added half-hour increment, or major fraction thereof.

   1. Your wedding or vow renewal ceremony's actual date and its planned starting time.

   2. Your ceremony's physical location (the name of the beach, park, church, hotel or "private" location where your ceremony and/or reception will take place).

   3. The total number of persons expected, including the bridal party and all guests (the guest count can be approximated).

   4. Whether or not you will need my services for your ceremony only, for pre-ceremony ("getting ready") photography and/or for your reception's coverage.

   5. The approximate amount of time you estimate my services will be required (including the first full hour).

   6. For non residents, your (planned) arrival and departure dates (to and from Maui) and your scheduled arrival/departure times.
