Javier and Kriste Valdez - Kailua, Hawaii

Aloha, Anthony! I must say you did a great job on the photos as usual and we can't wait
to come back and see you again for some more. That was quick! I don't know which ones to put on canvass yet but I'll tell you that B&W shot of Beth and Rebecca is fantastic and picking them is part of the fun!
Take care over there and I'll talk to you down the road. I''ll be watching your website. Thanks Again!!!

Anthony,
We had a wonderful time in Hawaii. Having you take our pictures was a huge part of what made our time so wonderful. Thank you for working with us and for having the passion for your work, as you do. Keep taking beautiful pictures. Thanks again for taking the time with us that you did, we love the pictures, they are absolutely beautiful.

Dear Anthony –
You did a wonderful job with our photographs; and we are very happy with them. We enjoyed the photo session with you in Oahu very much. Don’t know if you recall, but when you had the four of us getting situated with our backs to the water for a photo on Eternity beach, a wave came in and we all got wet before you could take the shot, and we then had to resituate ourselves for the shot – we all thought that was hilarious. Turns out that that particular photo is the one we liked the most, and I’ll always remember (i.e. in a good way) getting wet for the shot whenever I see the photo on our living room wall. I was amazed at the location of the rock sea cliff with Diamondhead in the background. You would certainly have to be very familiar with the island to find that place, and the setting was gorgeous. We had not had professional photographs taken on vacation before. My wife and daughters were a little skeptical when I told them I had booked the photography session, but they really enjoyed it, and we will now always have beautiful reminders of that particular trip with the framed photos. I am sure we will be back in Oahu in the next year or so, and would like to arrange for another photo session with you then. You were very professional, and the photos were excellent and exceeded my expectations. Again, thank you for your wonderful services!!!

Hi Anthony!
Aww, thanks so much for the beautiful images they are all worth blowing up! Just a matter of which one... They were so beautiful and artistic you definately captured "the moment"... Darrell has not seen any of the pictures yet except for the one of me kneeling on the beach and he absolutely loved it! I think thats my favorite one of all. Thank you, thank you so very much! You did such a great job we couldn't thank you enough! ~

Big Mahalo to you Anthony,
On behalf of all my family in Japan, I would like to thank you for the fabulous photos. You are absolutely right about the location, Lani Kai. It's the most beautiful beach!!! (though we could've done without the wind). But I was surprised to see only a few hair issues despite the strong wind. We are very happy that we chose you. You were very patient with the kids and the girls' hair issues not rushing through to finish. We all appreciate it. You are a great photographer, I hope you keep having fun and enjoy life doing what you love making others memories more memorable. After all the fun time is over, all we have left is the photos of the past to look at. You made our past look like it was in paradise. You made all our children look like angels. Amazing!! Good luck and God bless,
Emiko - VA

Kristy Ann - Honolulu, Hawaii

Dear Anthony,
God's abundant blessing on you and your wife in 2007. I know it was a difficult job for you to work with my " high maintenance " family, but I must tell you the photos you captured of my three sons is a priceless tresure for Scott and Me. Thank you for giving of your gift and striving to always do your best. You are a very special man and world is better with you in it!!

The Thorp Family - Scott, Angie, Scottie, Victor, Holden

Hi Anthony, We are very happy with our pictures! The images are very much what we expected and they are representative of everything we loved about the pictures on your website. If anything, I would say that our expectations were exceeded. Thank you again for taking so much time with us, and for being so patient and making us feel so comfortable. The photos are once-in-a-lifetime images and they mean a lot to us. You were truly able to capture something that isn't reflected in any other pictures we have. We have too many favorites to name and are currently trying to decide which images to get prints of to display as art in our house. All of the pictures are also very flattering - in addition to the emotion you were able to capture, I think you also brought out our best physical traits. While I would agree that some of the images are better than others, I definitely think you were overly critical in your assessment that we have "some" winners! I understand that you probably have different criteria in assessing your work, but to me all of our pictures are priceless! Thanks again for everything, and have a happy New Year!

Adam and Barbara Kline - Norman, OK

Dear Anthony,
Thank you for your, highly-professional, work with me on shooting portfolio pics. Your ability to coach me as well as the quality of the photos gave me a great deal of confidence in the project. Amazingly, my agency called me for an audition within three weeks of submission of the photos, I was really surprised!
Perhaps the best thing about working with you is that you showed how much you cared about me as a person, not just a subject for photographs and that soulfulness came right through in the shots we did.
Thanks again...I owe you one (or two or three...)

Robert Montgomery - Kapolei, Hawaii

Our deepest gratitude for the outsanding photographs you shot of our family. You managed to capture each one of us at exactly the right moment. When one looks at the pictures you took, one can definitely see our personalities and feel the love and sincerity in our hearts. The location was awesome and your patience, kindness, understanding and laughter made the photo session fun and relaxing for each of us. Everytime we look at our photos, especially the ones openly displayed in our home, we will have you to thank. Again, you have given us a portfolio of lasting memories and for that we will forever be grateful. God bless you,

Candace, Butch and Gregory, Torrence, CA

Anthony: Just a note to let you know we received our photos yesterday, and we're very pleased! Thanks so much for all of your hard work and most of all your patience. The four of us had a lot to overcome to get the quality images you captured, and we appreciate the fact that you worked with us instead of just taking quick snapshots. If we're ever on the island again, we would be glad to commison your services again. Mahalo!!!

The Ellisons, Tennessee

Thank you for the great pictures Anthony. The three hours we spent with you were a blast and one of the best parts of our vacation to celebrate our 10 year anniversary. We love to look at the photos after a rough day at work to put our minds at ease. We would highly recommend you to anyone planning a special trip to the islands. Best wishes,

Your style and professionalism put me at ease right away - felt like I've known you and worked with you for a much longer time. Looking forward to working with you again, soon! What an incredible sense of style you have.., thank you.

Elizabeth, Pasadena, California

We had such a nice time and have memories to last forever. But I do have to share something with you that makes our photos more special. We had no idea at the time- but you actually photographed the "three" of us, yes, "three". Just four days after we returned home, we discovered that our first baby is on the way. So now we have even more reason to cherish our photos! Thank you for the experience and your kindness will always be remembered.

Molly Herrick, Marshall, Minnesota

Anthony it was great working with you, we are so happy with the pictures they are a work of art. You have such a wonderful eye Keep up the good work!

Lisa Christman, Honolulu, Hawaii

I wanted to tell you thank-you for the wonderful experience you gave me while I was in Hawaii. I have worked with a variety of photographers. You were very professional and you made me feel comfortable working with you. The scenery was fabulous. The photos were remarkable. You were very specific and detailed to achieve perfection with every picture taken. You are very artistic and it shows in your work. Thank-you for showing me the beauty of Hawaii and what it has to offer. I would love to work with you again in the future. I highly recommend you as a photographer. Anyone who comes to your web site will understand what I mean by the beauty that lies within. Again thank-you!
Sincerely,

Rico Elbaz, Model and Entertainer, Las Vegas, Nevada

I just wanted to tell you that you are THE best photographer in the state of Hawaii! You've been a great pleasure to work with! No one inspires and captivates with pictures as you do!
