Marcia Campbell Photography

the top priorities for our wedding. We were introduced to Marcia at a friend's wedding and really liked how their pictures turned out. Interestingly, while researching online or looking through Hawaii wedding magazines, whenever I found a photo that really impressed me, it seemed to always be Marcia's work. I can't describe in words why I was consistently impressed, but it was always just a feeling. It's something that I hope others will sense when they find their wedding photographer. We met with Marcia at her studio before the wedding, and my fiance (now husband), my dad, and I felt an immediate connection with her. She has an amazing energy surrounding her. She is very passionate about her work. We liked how she gave us feedback about our wedding timeline, offered ideas for good photography locations, and shared her overall photography approach. On the day of the wedding, Marcia worked at a very fast pace, taking about 2,000 pictures. Great mix of portrait-type photos as well as candid shots. I appreciated Marcia's initiative in getting the shots and effectively directing our large wedding party (14 of us). The real magic happens after the photos are taken. For example, Marcia made us thank you cards using a couple of our favorite pictures. Our guests really appreciated the thank you cards. In fact, some people contacted us just to thank us for the thank you card! LOL. We also LOVE looking at our gallery proof book which was included with our package. It’s on our coffee table, and our family and friends really enjoy looking at it. The book is so beautiful that many people think it's our wedding album. LOL! (For those who do not know, a gallery proof book is a digital album collection of the raw images of all the photos from your day. It is intended to help you select photos for your album or print.) We also received DVDs of the high-res images which were nicely presented in a keepsake-type box. It was very professional and beautifully done...sort of looks like a present. I have heard horror stories from friends who had not received their photos from their photographer many months or even a year after their wedding. With Marcia, I appreciated the fact that I did not need to follow up or hassle her to get the link to the online gallery, thank you notes, proof book, or DVD. She was very prompt, professional, and gracious through the whole post-wedding process. We also saw our favorite wedding photo in the Hawaii Bride & Groom magazine. VERY EXCITING! :) We feel so grateful to have had Marcia as part of our wedding! It was such a great experience that we want to do it all over again!
