Mark Hinwood Photographer

I most strongly and highly recommend Mark Hinwood for all your photography events. Mark provided exceptional photography at our sunset beach wedding on the Big Island of Hawaii. Our wedding planner highly recommended Mark and we looked through lots of photographer’s website portfolios and their online ratings before selecting him. Mark's portfolio stood out for his quality, composition, light, color and authenticity of his work. He was prompt and professional in responding to our emails and organizing the event. During the ceremony, he was super nice, energetic and fun. He turned around the images in just over 3 weeks (half the time estimated). He is a gifted artist and the pictures he provided are gorgeous and amazing, better than we ever dreamed. His prices are reasonable and a great deal considering how easy and fun it was to be photographed by him and how beautiful the photos turned out. Simply the very best!

My husband and I live on Oahu. We took a long weekend trip to Kona back in February for Valentine's Day. We decided the week prior to our trip that we wanted to try to get engagement photos done while we were there. Lucky for us, Mark was available! He gave us multiple options for the location and we picked Kukio Beach. Mark was very friendly and easy to work with. We had sunset photos done and the results were AMAZING. My husband and I had never taken professional photos together and we were worried that we would be awkward. Mark made us very comfortable and we now have the most beautiful album. We would have loved to have him shoot our wedding as well but unfortunately Michigan (where we had our wedding) is a bit far from Kona. If you are looking for a photographer on the Big Island, I highly recommend Mark!

We were all so very happy with the photographs that Mark was able to capture on our amazing day!! My husband surprised me with a full Hawaiian wedding (vowel renewal) with our children and Mark did an amazing job! Very easy to work with and very personable. He made 40 years of marriage look as amazing as it has been! A very romantic day captured forever! Thank you! Laura and Jeff

My fiancé and I had an existing trip planned to Hawaii, and about 3 weeks before the trip we had an idea to get our engagement photos done while we were out there. Mark was quick to respond to our last minute inquiry and was a pleasure to work with! Truly an awesome person and talented photographer. I’m so grateful he was available and the pictures he captured were stunning! He gave us a few options of locations/scenes to do our shoot at, and gave advice to do’s and don’ts with our dress attire. For two awkward people in front of the camera, Mark made us look great with all of his cues and guidance. We definitely felt comfortable in front of the camera because of him. He gave us fun scenarios to induce a natural laugh and smile. We chose the 1.5 hour photo session and he went above and beyond, making the most of a most productive session at sunset. I’m in love with his pictures and have gotten soo many compliments already. Although Hawaii provides gorgeous scenery in itself, Mark’s work is definitely unique and gorgeous. After the session, Mark gave us a local’s insider on some great restaurants and bars to try while we were out there, too! Definitely always appreciative of foodie advice, haha.

We visited the Big Island this June and we’re lucky enough to book Mark to shoot family photos . Mark had excellent communication prior to our shoot and asked many questions that helped to personalize our experience.He suggested multiple locations for us to choose from . During our shoot Mark was professional, down to earth, great with the kids and made the home experience so positive. He even spotted a turtle in the water near us lol. We are so happy with the final results. Thank you Mark.
