COMMON QUESTIONS
FOR COUPLES
How long does it take to receive our gallery ?
I know how exciting it is to be able to see the photos from your wedding day or session so I always aim to keep my turn around time a quick one. All services that I offer will receive a handful of edited sneak peeks the day following our time together. Wedding galleries are delivered within a four week timeframe from the event date. Lifestyle sessions are delivered within a two week timeframe from the session date.
Do you offer albums or prints ?
I do ! Though your images will look beautiful on the computer screen I want you to be able to physically hold them in your hand or see them hanging on your walls. Upon booking if interested in this service I will send you my Albums PDF which goes over the different high quality options for prints + albums as well as their costs.
Do you only service Hawaii ?
Though Hawaii is home base I am available to travel to the mainland or out of the country. However, I do have a travel fee that is added based off of where your wedding/elopement is taking place. I am more than happy though to hop on a plane or two or even three to be there to document your day. Send me an inquiry to discuss further to receive a free quote.
How far in advance should we book ?
If inquiring for a wedding it is best to reach out at least a year in advance. My schedule fills up pretty quickly where popular summer weekend dates are spoken for about a year or year and a half in advance. However, if inquiring in a shorter timeframe do not let this detour you from still contacting me since I may have availability for the time you need me. If I unfortunately do not I will refer you to some other wonderful photographers. If inquiring for an elopement please reach out at least 6+ months before to insure availability. Lifestyle sessions I always recommend to reach out at least 4+ months in advance . Whether you are reaching out to me way in advance or in a shorter timeframe I promise to reply to your inquiry promptly with my availability or refer you elsewhere if not available.
Can you recommend local vendors ?
Absolutely ! If you are not working with a planner and finding the vendors yourself I am more than happy to refer some of the best in the industry for videography, hair/makeup, florals, DJ’s, catering, cocktail bars, venue spaces, furniture rentals etc. When you send me an inquiry let me know if you are interested in any suggestions and I will send over names + contact information.
Do you offer coverage for wedding events such as cocktail cruises, welcome parties, etc. or rehearsal dinner ?
Yes ! I will happily document any event leading up to the day though please note that coverage cost is not included in the wedding package cost. In order to receive a quote please let me know in an inquiry what you would like captured.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
about elopements
FOR ELOPEMENTS
Can you help recommend locations on island ?
100% absolutely ! I have a locations PDF which has a detailed breakdown of some of the most scenic areas on Maui that allow for elopements. Though if you would like something that is a bit more of an all day event such as a helicopter ride to a private area on the island or a sailing trip to our neighbor island Lanai I can recommend some of the best local companies that do those type of excursions to go with.
Can we book an elopement package if we will have family members/friends in attendance ?
My elopements are geared towards a couple though if you will have loved ones present I will not say “no” to allowing an elopement package to be booked . However, please be sure to send me an inquiry of the number of attendees and if you are wanting photo coverage of them as well since a custom package may need to be made based off of what you would like photographed. Please note an elopement package cannot be booked in place of a full wedding package if you have rented a venue, would like getting ready coverage, are wanting recpetion coverage as well, etc.
Is an officiant , florist, music, marriage license, etc. included in your package pricing ?
At this time I only offer photography services and do not have contracted vendors included in my offered packages. However, I am more than happy to recommend local vendors for the above for you to contact. If going with a beach elopement my package price does include the state permit fee for the elopement to legally take place. Though fees for areas on island such as Haleakala National Park or Twin Falls where special permits are required are an added fee.
