We are pleased to say that our time with Shots from the Island was beyond incredible! Both the photographer and his lovely assistant made us all feel extremely relaxed and natural during the session! Prior to he provided us with clear timeline management, fast response times, and helpful location scouting. We received beautifully edited, high-resolution galleries all without losing authentic emotional moments! Our family is deeply appreciative of such a genuine experience and we would count it joy to be given the honor and privilege to work with them again! Much love and appreciation to you both; we have been blessed! Operation secret family pictures was a huge success because of Shots from the Island!

Trey was super nice to work with. When I told him we needed photos of 11 adults and 9 children, he said that sounds like fun! He was patient, friendly, easy going and calm working with such a large group! The photos turned out really great. And he sent them to us the same day! Great choice for vacationers on HHI.

We were on a family beach trip and realized we should use the opportunity to capture photos of our entire family! We contacted Trey on a Thursday night and he came out on Saturday. He was so kind and responsive and easy to work with and the photos were fantastic. Really appreciated his great service and quick response!

It was a joy working with Trey. He was very responsive and professional when capturing my son's graduation photos. I was not at the photo shot and was a bit nervous but when speaking with Trey he put me at ease and was able to capture the moment. I am very impressed with his work and the pride he takes in his craft.
