Choosing Tim was an easy decision. His portfolio reflected the kind of photos we wanted, his pricing was fair, and I really appreciated being able to choose two locations for our w...edding portraits on West Maui.
Communication is one of Tim’s biggest strengths. Being able to text before, during, and after the shoot was incredibly convenient. He clearly thought of everything in advance and shared all the information we needed, which made the whole experience easy and well organized.
Tim made me feel at ease during the shoot. Early on, he showed us some of the images on the back of his camera, and I immediately knew we were going to end up with so many good photos. He made me feel comfortable in front of the camera, and it was obvious that he loves his job. His energy was relaxed, positive, and fun to be around.
Tim offered the perfect amount of guidance on posing while also capturing candid moments. He patiently let me try some of my own posing ideas, which, honestly, were not nearly as good as his suggestions, and he went out of his way to carry our very heavy cooler bag between shots. Tim has a great eye for locations, backgrounds, and lighting. We had visited the spots ahead of time and completely missed so many beautiful places that Tim instinctively knew to use. His experience and professional eye were obvious!
When we received our gallery, our first reaction was that we had so many amazing photos to choose from. The images felt natural and romantic, and some looked like they were taken in an enchanted forest. The turnaround time was impressive, much faster than we expected.
I really appreciated how Tim seemed to genuinely welcome feedback on the way he edited photos. He gave us two general styles to choose from. He allowed us to share if we wanted the edit styling slightly reduced or enhanced. Tim's humility and willingness to accommodate our personal style preferences is hands down my favorite thing about him. I have worked with other photographers with much harsher editing policies that left me unhappy with the end result, but that was not the case with Tim. I also appreciated the time he took to edit small details of my dress.
Tim truly provided a 5-star experience from start to finish. We would absolutely recommend him to any couple looking to capture their wedding portraits or elope in Hawaii.
