Our
professional photographic wedding coverage is designed for the couple
seeking to fill their own wedding albums and portrait frames with
professionally crafted photographic prints. Our service therefore
focuses on creating images of distinction, and memorable and
endearing photos of their special day -- while the couple utilizes
their own photo albums and frames.
I.
The
Cost of the Wedding Location Session Fee
For every
hour booked, there is a $200.00 wedding location session fee. For
each hour booked, you'll receive 30 select photo proofs from which to
make your choices; a proof preview album of these 4 x 5 photo proofs
is provided and is yours to keep. Your chosen images will then be
enlarged and printed according to our professional print pricing structure.

Unless you
specify that you want your selected photographs to be processed on
glossy paper, Hawaiiseen.com will use a photographic paper known as
"lustre", which is between full glossy and matte-textured
photo paper. (Glossy photographic paper reproduces the highest
resolution since the paper is smooth, which is why glossy is often
used for scenery prints, while matte photographic paper has just a
little less resolution but does not glare or glares much less (just
depends on the environment in which you're displaying the print).
"Lustre" photographic paper combines the advantages of both
these textures and serves extremely well for people portraits, giving
them a "classy" look and feel.)
We
can also provide a CD of all your select photo proof photographs at
print resolution grade, with our copyright release for your unlimited
printing of your own photographic prints. The cost of this
professional CD with copyright release is $350 per 30 or less select
Wedding photo proof photos contained in the CD; all select photo
proof photos from your wedding photo session must be on this CD.
(Although the copyright release authorizes unlimited printing of
photographic prints by you, it allows you to make only one backup
archival copy of the CD itself.) In addition to unlimited printing
because of our copyright release, this CD is also useful if you're
having a hard time making up your mind which wedding photo proof to
order and print: With the CD you'll have all your wedding's select
photo proof photographs at print resolution grade in your lawful
possession -- and can print what you want when you want. Also, if for
example you wanted to use a professional photograph from your wedding
in a Christmas Card or a Photo Greeting Card, you can simply use your
CD, show your copyright release to your photo printer shop (if the
shop needs to retain a paper document, make them a copy while you
keep the original copyright release), and have your Christmas or
Greeting Cards made.
We can
also produce a musical slideshow on CD of these wedding select
photo proofs photographs with our copyright release
to make CD copies of the musical slideshow (copying of the musical
slideshow itself onto other media or broadcast of the slideshow
including on the web is not allowed); thus you may make CD
copies of this slideshow to give to special friends and family, as
well as for you to make CD archival copies to pass on for the future.
The cost of this CD musical slideshow is $300.00 per 20 or less
select photo proof photos contained in the CD;
all select photo proof photos must be utilized on the slideshow. To
see an example of a wedding musical slideshow, click
here; use your back button to return here.
**We
also a offer a premium post-session display service of your
wedding day's (1) musical slideshow and (2) a thumbnail photo gallery
of your select photo proofs with click through to enlargement view of
the photo -- on our Hawaiiseen.com website for an
entire year. (Sorry, a shorter time period is not available.) This is
ideal in allowing family and friends to experience your wedding day
as many times as they want,
from anywhere in the world they may be, and at anytime,
so long as they have a web connection. (Also,
for the duration of that entire year, you, your family and friends
may order Hawaiiseen.com
professional photographic prints of your wedding day from this
on-line wedding thumbnail photo gallery at a 15% off savings
-- with free shipping. Thus, your family and friends can also easily
view and get professional family and group portraits composed of
family members and/or friends they might not have seen or may not see
for awhile, but who just happend to gather at your wedding.) This
$850.00 year-long service is available on condition (A) that you've
already purchased a musical slideshow on CD, and (B) that our review
of our website's storage capacity at the time of your display service
order request, determines it is presently sufficient for the data
load our website will have to undertake.
Hawaii
State tax and Shipping & Handling, if S/H is called for, are also
applied to all print/CD, display-on-website orders.
Professional
Photo Retouching Services -- Since everyone has their own preference
concerning how they wish their portrait to appear (whether this be
the removal of a blemish, wrinkle, shadow/shine, or the dealing with
an out-of-place bit of clothing or hair), we also offer professional
retouching of your photo(s) as specified by you.
Our
retouching charges are based on the time it takes to professionally
achieve the effect or appearance you're after: $15 (for effects
requiring 1-5 minutes of professional work to achieve), $25.00
(requiring 6-10 minutes), $40.00 (requiring 11-20 minutes), $60.00
(requiring 21-30 minutes), and $100.00 (requiring 31 plus minutes).
(Hawaii State tax will also be applied.)
Hence, the
more intensive or the greater number of individual images you desire
retouched, the more time it is likely to take, with our ceiling being
set at $100.00 maximum. (If the changes you seek are such that this
ceiling is inadequate, we reserve the right to decline the retouching
involved.) Be as specific as you can therefore in describing the
change(s) you desire so that we can focus our professional efforts
expediently; this will also assist us in making the pre-estimate of
the time that may required. Remember our retouching service is
offered on a time expended basis: Therefore, you will be charged for
the time expended for the retouch you've requested -- even if you
then don't ultimately choose the image you directed to be retouched.
Since we
want you involved in the ongoing-retouching process, your retouches
will be displayed for your viewing online within the Hawaiiseen.com
website via a confidential URL address that you alone may access.
There is
no charge for this online previewing of your retouched photos if the
display of any retouched individual photo or photos does not total
more than 20 -- that is, e.g., you may have one photo but have it
retouched 20 times thus requiring the previewing mini website to be
upload to the web 20 times to view the changes, or you may have 20
photos that are all retouched once and thus uploaded once for
previewing. (Thus it is each individual retouched photo plus the
times it is uploaded for viewing that becomes the number for
subtracting from this 20.) Beyond this 20, there will be an
additional charge for the web programing work of $5.00 for each
additional photo or additional display.

III.
The
Difference Between
A
Wedding Photo-Session Date that's Open
and
One That's Reserved
Please
contact us a minimum of 3 months prior to your desired planned
wedding date. We try to accommodate wedding dates (i.e., less than 3
months), but given the crowded Hawaiiseen.com shooting calendar such
accommodation is unfortunately rare. Should we be able to accommodate
a short notice request however, there's an additional 40% charge on
the total ultimate fee.
When
we inform you that a given date and time is presently open for a
wedding photographic session, please remember that this is not the
same as a reservation of that date:
The
reserving of your wedding date (or any Hawaiiseen.com photo session,
for that matter) on our shooting calendar occurs only upon receipt of
your deposit; we then inform you that your desired date is reserved
and "locked in" -- as well as send you a receipt for your
deposit. All our available wedding photo session dates and times are
on a "first come, first served" basis with a desired
wedding date and time being reserved for the wedding client whose
deposit is received first.
In
the event two or more would-be clients seek the same wedding photo
session date, would-be clients whose deposits arrive after the first
deposit to arrive will be quickly informed that the sought-after-date
is no longer available and their deposit check or money order will
then be mailed back to them.

IV.
The
Deposit Amount Required
To reserve
your wedding day, a $200.00 deposit is required plus the amount of
the 5% Hawaii state tax on the dollar total of the number of hours
sought to be booked.
However,
if more than 2 hours are sought to be booked, then a deposit of 50%
plus Hawaii state tax on the dollar total of the number of hours
sought to be booked, is required.
For
example, if you were to book 2 hours which is a dollar total of
$400.00 ($200.00 per hour times 2 hours), the tax on that $400.00
would be $20.00 (i.e., $400.00 times 5%). Thus, in this example, your
deposit would be $420.00 (i.e., $400.00 deposit plus the $20.00 tax).
We accept
deposits in the form of checks or money orders, made payable to
Hawaiiseen.com and mailed to:
