The Day of the Session
On the actual day, your photographer will meet you at the designated spot, usually starting at the meeting point at 1571 Poipu Rd, Koloa. From there, it’s about capturing your group’s natural chemistry in a relaxed environment. The photographer will guide you through each pose, helping you look natural and at ease—no stiff, awkward shots here. The review process afterwards is flexible, with options to see your photos on-site right after the shoot, view them in a private online gallery later, or meet for a personalized review.
The Photos and Editing
You can expect a generous number of photos—up to 450 high-resolution images—which are edited as needed to ensure they look their best. Knowing that your images are high-res means you’ll be able to print and enlarge them without losing quality, perfect for framing or creating albums. The delivery is swift, approximately 30 minutes after the session, and all images are burned onto a flash drive for easy access.
The Locations
While the photographer suggests spots, the final decision rests with you. Many choose Kauai’s famous beaches, scenic coastlines, or lush gardens. This flexibility allows you to customize your experience—whether you want romantic shots on the beach or family photos amid Kauai’s verdant scenery. The local expertise ensures you’ll find the perfect spots for good lighting and stunning backgrounds.
