Happy Spring!

Aloha and Happy Spring!

I hope your spring is blossoming beautifully on all levels.

I have been quite busy with shooting quite a few weddings as of late. Last week I shot a 2 day wedding in West Maui on the first day and on Mt Haleakala on the 2nd day.

The sweet couple, Ayumi and Yuichiro are from Japan and they are professional dancers and dance teachers. They are quite proud to have performed with their Isinai Dance Troupe for the Emperor and Empress of Japan!

The first day of their wedding was on a sacred Hawaiian site in the West Maui Mountains. The second day of their wedding celebration was with about 50 close friends and fellow dancers on the top of Mt. Haleakala at sunset. It is usually freezing cold at that time but we were blessed with warm temperatures and a beautiful sunset!

I will be adding a gallery of Ayumi and Yuichiroʻs wedding in the next several days as well as 3 other galleries from recent weddings. Please feel free to stop back to see them.

In the spirit of aloha, I am putting together a special surprise bonus for all my clients who book their weddings from March until April 20 my birthday. Please feel free to contact me for details about my special spring gift bonus.

With warm aloha,

Richard Marks

Aloha and welcome to alohaʻia the new website and blog of Richard Marks!

The alohaʻia website launch was officially on February 1, 2008, and I am very pleased that it is already receiving rave reviews. It seems like the one common word that I am receiving in my ongoing feedback to describe alohaia.com is: "exquisite!".

I have already had a number of clients book with me and receive the 20% web launch celebration discount which I am offering to all new clients who book packages during the month of February.

I am quite excited to now have a blog along with my new website. My blog will provide the opportunity for me to share information with you about my upcoming photo shoots and weddings, feature a few images from my most recent photo shoots and "talk story" about items of interest concerning alohaʻia.

I would like to send my congratulations to my new clients Maya and Paul for their upcoming wedding in Maui that I will be photographing on August 3, 2008.

As a special wedding gift for Maya and Paul, I was quite happy to break free time from spending 12 -18 hours a day for the past month at my 2 computers designing my new website. It was wonderful to break open some time to extend the gift to Maya and Paul of a complimentary engagement photo shoot. They came to Maui last week to visit from their home in the San Francisco Bay Area to fine tune the details for their August Maui wedding.

I have just created a gallery of their photos in my gallery section of alohaʻia from their engagement photo session which was on February 20, if you would like to see images of my most recent shoot. Maya and Paul have already posted some of their engagement photos on their new wedding website they have just begun designing: www.romanticwaves.com

Iʻd also like to extend my congratulations to Jessica and Brendon whose wedding I will be shooting on 6/7/08. They have also created a wonderful wedding website that features their upcoming wedding : www.jessicabrendon.com

In closing, as I shared on my website, I feel that it is a deep honor for me each time I receive the request to photograph a wedding, a family or an individual. I do everything in my means to deliver my clients exquisite photos, photographed with the deepest spirit of aloha (which often includes surprise gifts!) and with the highest technical and artistic standards possible.

With warm aloha to you and your alohaʻia,

Richard Marks
