Aloha,
Before you read all the extensive details below about my photography services, I invite you to ask me about my limited wild and crazy holiday photo special!
My name is Richard Marks, MA and I've been a professional photographer for 33 years, including being a former Getty Images photographer.
Upon moving to Maui 22 years ago, I created my own photography company, MauiProfessionalPhotographer, and I am also currently the main photographer for the Maui Vision Magazine, having done over 37 front covers for that magazine in the past 10 years.
I have also been chosen to be the main photographer for The Neighbors and Friends of Wailea and Makena Magazine.
Since moving here from The San Francisco Bay Area in 2001, I’ve photographed over 1000 Maui Weddings for Maui's finest wedding co-ordinators including White Orchid Weddings and Tropical Maui Weddings.
Ive done Family Shoots for Time Magazine Person of the year Terry Cruz and his family as well as many professional promotional shoots including CD covers for Grammy recording artists.
Before I share more details of my professional photography services, I wish to share some feedback from my photoshoots.
The first 2 are from my most recent shoots: "This was our second shoot in Maui with Richard.
When we found out our family was headed back to Maui for a trip, I immediately thought of Richard.
I knew it was time for another family photo shoot.
Richard was willing, patient and kind as we went through outfit changes and became our own directors of the shoot.
Richard makes everyone feel so comfortable and included.
We plan to have Richard as our family photographer.
Not just in Maui, but wherever he’d be willing to travel for us.
" Mahalo Richard! David and Family Portland, Oregon 6/15/23 Richard Marks, thank you so very much for your photos! Your fantastic eye and skill at catching the moment of our wedding day gave us memories to cherish for the rest of our lives! Your energy and fun so enhanced our day and everyone loves you and the photos we’ve shared.
You definitely capture the love and appreciation available in each moment.
Mahalo nui loa🤗😍 Seah and Ross Maui Meadows,HI 6/10/2023 "Richard made our engagement photo session just as memorable as the beautiful images he captured.
He paid attention to the details and used mother nature to naturally enhance our images.
We had so much fun during this shoot and certainly stepped out of our comfort zone, with ease.
I will be recommending Richard to my friends and family on their future trips to Maui and would encourage you to entrust him with capturing special moments during your time.
" Cedrick and Mary Wailea,HI 6/5/23 "Working with Richard was such a pleasure.
