• How many photos would I get in my gallery? 50-100 finished pics per hour of photography.

• What is your turnaround time for photos?  Turnaround is typically 2-6 weeks or 4-8 weeks for summer weddings. Rush edits are always available upon request (no extra charge).

• ‍What makes you different from other photographers? I combine my experience with photojournalism, studio portraiture, and scenic landscape photography to provide a unique style that delivers stunning and dramatic images with little to no digital manipulation; a skill that I have been working on for over a decade. On top of this, my 30+ years of familiarity with Kauai's beaches and scenic venues makes me an obvious choice for couples looking for the highest quality finished product.

• Do you provide a sneak peek? Yes! If you email or text me after the wedding I will reply with a 5-15 image sneak peek.
