So many changes... improvements are on the way.

Hi - we hope everyone is having a stellar weekend. This is a quick post outlining the upcoming changes to our business and sites. After a few months of working with our technical team, we are excited to tell you about all of our improvements that we are making to benefit our clients and future customers.

  1. A New Blog is in the works. In about a week - we will no longer be using our Blogger blog for our updates & blog posts. Though we have enjoyed our time with Blogger - we have decided that it was time to upgrade to a Wordpress Blog. For those of you that are still interested in visiting and reading old posts - please feel free to visit here to view our original blog (hoonaniphotography.blogspot.com) as our older posts will be available for your viewing.
  2. A slideshow viewing option for our clients. This is a new option that we will have available for our clients to view the Artists' selection of images in a slideshow format that includes special transitions and music for their viewing pleasure. Clients have the opportunity of sending the link of their slideshow to anyone they choose. This is a fun way to view your photographs and also give you the ease of viewing your images in the comforts of your own home. Family and friends will also enjoy being able to view your images if they didn't have the opportunity to be present while the photos were taken.
  3. Gift cards! Woohoo - we now offer gift cards in most amounts starting at $25.00. This is a convenient way to provide awesome gifts & prints for your loved ones. Simply contact us for more information or visit our Storefront for details.
  4. We LOVE photographing Weddings. It is our passion to photograph others' Love Stories and share their memorable moments with them. Because of this - we are offering COMPLIMENTARY WEDDING WEBSITES to all of our clients that book a Wedding Photography Package for the year 2010 - 2011. This value alone (up to $250) is worth its weight in gold. Use this site to share your "love story" with your guests (family & friends), upload photos from your Engagement session, customize a RSVP section or Guest book to use for your Wedding Guests and Go Green and paperless by using electronic communications with your Wedding Guests. And, to top it all off - your Flash based Wedding Website will be customized by you. Simply select from a handful of templates that you can customize, including color & text.
  5. A HTML site for our clients who are viewing our site from a slower connection or do not have Flash on their computer. Our HTML site will mirror our Flash site - allowing our viewers to see our site the way they want to. The music and images will be the same through out both websites. We are happy to provide this service to our past and future clients and hope that you all can utilize this service with ease.
  6. FACEBOOK Contests are in the works. We LOVE contests. Our goal is to role out a few contests from time to time on our Facebook Page including contests called: Cutest Baby Contest, Share Your Love Story Contest and much more. Prizes include Portrait Session, Wedding Photography Sessions, Albums, DVD's and much more. "LIKE US" on Facebook to keep up to date with our Contest Roll Outs and all the details. Don't have a Facebook Profile? You can also follow us on Twitter.

We look forward to bringing you new & improved services. Thank you to all of our clientele (past, present & future) for your business and for continuing to choose us as your Photography Specialists. Keep an eye out for posts from our new blog ;-)

Bryan & Melanie - Maui Wedding Photographer, Wailea - Maui and The Dunes at Maui Lani

We had the privilege of being a part of Bryan & Melanie's wedding day. Bryan has family on Maui, though he & Melanie live in California. They had a beautiful, intimate ceremony at Polo Beach in Wailea and their reception took place at the Club House at the Dunes at the Maui Lani Golf course. The event was simple & elegant and just perfect for the couple who wanted to be with their family and friends on this special day.

Thank you to Melanie & Bryan for allowing us to be a part of your wonderful day. We wish you many many years of love and happiness together.

Here are a few photos from their day.
