Aloha--
Thanks for visiting my Hawaiian photography site . My name is Adam Palmer. I am a professional photographer based on Oahu, Hawaii where I have lived since I was eight years old. When I am not shooting weddings or family pictures you'll find me with my kids at Waimea bay on the North Shore, or hiking up to some of the beautiful Hawaiian waterfalls on the east side of Oahu. Hope you enjoy the photos. Also, here's a quick list of the top reasons you should hire me to shoot your wedding or family photo.

Experienced in Hawaii Wedding Photography and Fine Art

I shot my first wedding in 1998 and have had hundreds of happy customers since then. I have a 4 year college degree in photography, I have published a book and sell my artwork in galleries. I've been living and breathing photography since I got my first professional camera in 1993. It's not just a job for me-- it's a passion.

You might be able to find Hawaii wedding photographers who advertise cheaper but I don't think you'll find anyone out there who is of better value. You're not just paying for all my experience-- you are also getting a lot of extras for your money. Even my smallest package is huge compared to a lot of other Hawaii wedding photographers out there. I shoot every wedding personally and I very work hard for every wedding I shoot.

Style

Experience and value are nothing if you don't like the photographers style. People choose me because they like the way I keep the photos real. Nothing cheesy or overdone here. I like to shoot a lot of candid and photojournalistic style photos. I still take all the family group shots and have no problem posing the two of you together. I like to keep my posing natural-- like something you would have done on your own-- adjusted slightly so it looks perfect for the camera. My goal is to capture the true beauty of the day.

Quality Hawaii Wedding Photography

In college I worked in a photo archive and I learned a lot about what it takes to make a photo last as long as possible. The 4x6's are printed using the highest quality traditional photo paper out there. The enlargements are made using the best quality printing available to give them an archival life of 100 to 150 years.

Full High Resolution Files on DVD

If I were hiring a photographer, the first thing I would want to know is whether the negatives/original files are included in the package. These pictures are going to be meaningful to your children and grandchildren. You need to have the means to make another album if anything were to happen to yours. The main reason photographers keep the original (high resolution files) or negatives is because they are planning on making money from reprints after the wedding. I'm a photographer-- not a salesman. Every one of my packages has everything you will need included-- no upselling later. 

Look forward to hearing from you,
Adam

Here's a few quotes from some email I got permission to put on the website.

"We really enjoyed meeting you and having you as our photographer.  It’s quite a gamble when you make arrangements from afar and we were very happy with you.  You are very professional, fun, and everyone felt at ease.  Truthfully, I have never liked getting my photo taken but it was a special day and you made the photography fun." --Karen Kelley

"I am so happy with these! Oh my gosh, some of them had me laughing out loud (IE: jumping on Beau's back and the hammock photos) and  others are really sweet and genuine. We cannot thank you enough for making this day special for us. We will truly never forget it! We will certainly recommend you whenever we get the chance for friends/relatives visiting Hawai'i. --Valerie Crawford

Adam definitely added his unique sense of creativity and style to our wedding photos.  He was able to capture the most important day of our lives perfectly.  We cannot wait to show our family and friends.  We would highly recommend Adam!  --Steve and Erin

On the most important day of my life to have pictures taken, Adam Palmer captured it beautifully. I was a little nervous planning a wedding thousands of miles away from Hawaii, entrusting someone I never met to document our wedding day. Adam kept in touch, answered questions promptly and just made things a whole lot easier for myself and Brad. Adam's pictures turned out amazing, and my family and I felt so comfortable around him. Adam, thank you also for the North Shore book... We weren't able to take any pictures of Haleiwa ourselves, and now we have a book full of beautiful pictures. Thank you also for making things so much easier for myself and Brad on a hectic day. We loved your work and your prices are the Best for what you have to offer. --Brad and Marlena

We were really impressed with your service and professionalism.  Thank you for making our special day perfect, you captured every moment and more! --Lisa and Rich
