David was wonderful. Helpful, prompt, and he made the process as easy and fun as possible (with a family of six). The pics are great! I highly recommend David. -Lisa

We wanted some beautiful photos to capture our honeymoon and David definitely delivered! We had a one-hour photoshoot in Hanalei Bay and David was so kind, truly let us express ourselves, and had so many creative ideas for the photos. The photoshoot was fun and peaceful and the photos are even better! We love our photos. David really understands light and framing. Couldn't recommend him enough! -Mafalda

A photographer back home suggested we capture our vacation with a photographer! This was a family picture shoot. We have not taken one in years - and I really want to capture a very relaxed moment as we have way too many things going on through school and work at home. The photos and they are WONDERFUL. Especially loved the ones of the kids individually - WOW. The one on the log with the pier is my favorite! Thank you, again and again. -Malinda

We were on our Babymoon and wanted to remember this special time in our lives. My husband and I were on our Babymoon and wanted to remember this special time together. We decided to get some pictures at our favorite beach. We are so glad we decided to get photos. Our photographer, David Marsh was easy to work with and captured some amazing photos. You can tell he was very experienced. My husband and I were really impressed with his top-notch skills and the whole experience overall. Thank you, David and Local Lens for capturing this special time in our lives. -Amy

We wanted nice professional photos we could print and display at our house. David was very punctual. He took extra care and time to make sure he got shots that he was satisfied with. He was very patient and friendly with us. Shooting a family with a young toddler can be difficult but he was amazing! The photos turned out beautiful and he got them to us in just 2 days! -Van

To capture the entire family all together. I have adult children as well as one still at home, so when I get them all together I want to take advantage of getting as many photos as we can. So we hired David through local lens while on vacation in Kauai, and I couldn’t be more pleased! The process of finding him was easy through local lens and communication was great. But the best part was David. He was absolutely amazing! Encouraged us to try new poses and combinations of locations we wouldn’t have thought of. He highlighted the beauty of our surroundings while keeping the family as the focus. He was creative, happy, and really seemed to love what he was doing. Our photos turned out beautifully, and I couldn’t be more pleased! -Sheila

We had a lovely day in the magical destination of Kauai - with a special surprise. David captured a special moment for us on Kauai. He made us feel very comfortable during the photoshoot and took some stunning photos. Now we will always have something timeless! Thank you, David! -Emily

We booked a shoot because we wanted to remember my 30th birthday. I wanted to remember my 30th birthday while my family was in Hawaii. Our photographer, David, was professional and captured beautiful stills. My 13-month-old daughter was not having it during the photo shoot so I was worried about how the pictures were going to turn out. But I was really happy with the results! Our family commented on how gorgeous the pictures were! Thank you David for the wonderful photos! -Rhina

We just got engaged, so we wanted an engagement photo shoot. It's a funny story: it was pouring rain! David said he hadn't seen that kind of rain in months. What can you do but laugh?! Sure, I spent an hour on my hair and the minute rain hits it, poof, it's ruined! But we ended up having a blast and the pictures turned out just perfect. Thanks for being such a trooper, David! -Jenny

This was our first family photo shoot, and we really didn’t know what to expect. David was our photographer, and he was funny, easygoing, and made us feel very comfortable. He took us to a spot that he knew well. The pictures were absolutely wonderful! He captured the right angles, poses, and the perfect lighting. Even my daughter, who is awkward in pictures and hates smiling in photos (if you’ve ever seen the show Modern Family when they take family photos and find out that Lily doesn’t know how to smile - that’s her lol) was captured beautifully! We highly recommend David and will absolutely refer our family and friends to him when they’re in Kauai! -Laura

Thank you so much, David, for an amazing photo experience. Our pictures turned out beautiful. They were all that I had hoped they would be. You did such an incredible job capturing each person. It was our 50th Anniversary and Vow renewal on the beach with our whole family. The pictures were the icing on the cake. Thank you so much! You don’t know how special and how much this means to us. Thank you for doing such an awesome job! -Jody

David was wonderful! My daughter was not excited about having her pictures taken but he was able to capture her beauty and true self! He is an amazing photographer and knows the perfect places to get a variety of shots! To add to the experience he makes you feel like you’re an instant friend and very personable! -Kara

David was fantastic. First and foremost he got the photos we looking for. He worked efficiently to get multiple photos with a variety of beautiful natural backdrops. He is pleasant, professional and a pleasure to work with, a real artist! We would use him again in a second if we have the opportunity. We were wowed by the photos you and will treasure them forever. Definitely a highlight of our Kaua’i Anniversary Celebration Trip! -Peter

We booked David for a quick family photo opportunity while on Kauai. He suggested a great spot right on the beach. David gave us clear directions of where to go, where to park, and what to bring with us. He showed up right on time and was ready to go. We have three young boys, so we can be a bit hard-to-manage group, but David was able to get us organized and presentable within minutes of arriving. We were so impressed with his ability to work with our boys one-on-one. He quickly got to know them and captured great moments from each of them. To say we are pleased with our photos is a massive understatement. The photos are stunning. They are our favorite family photos by a wide margin. David’s skill behind the camera is matched only by his kind and friendly demeanor. If we’re ever in Kauai again, we are without question going to work with David again. Cannot recommend him enough! -Natalie
