Nobody leads with the camera.
They lead with feeling comfortable, with the colours, and with how easy it was to get hold of me. Which is a fair summary of the job.
He made us comfortable
The single most common line. People arrive nervous about being photographed and leave saying they forgot the camera was there.
The colours look like Hawaii
I grade warm and vibrant rather than muted. People notice that the photographs look like the place they actually visited.
The communication
Email, text, and a reply usually inside the hour. Enough that most people arrive at the session with nothing left to ask.
While staying in Kaanapali, Maui, we had an absolutely wonderful experience with Cyrus Perry! He captured the true essence of our family of five—our personalities, connection, laughter, and love—in such a natural and beautiful way. The entire session felt relaxed, fun, and effortless, and the photos exceeded every expectation. Each image tells a story and perfectly reflects this special time in our family’s life. These are memories we will treasure forever. We are so grateful for Cyrus’s care, creativity, and talent.
Cyrus did an outstanding job with our family photos in Lahaina. He has a great eye for capturing genuine moments, and the pictures turned out better than we could have hoped. Communication was easy, he was very responsive, and the entire process was seamless.
Cyrus was great. We had a group of 35 with 11 kids, and he and his assistant were patient but assertive enough to make magic happen — it was actually an impressive feat. We never felt rushed; quite the opposite, everyone was relaxed and in their element.
Cyrus was punctual, professional, and reliable throughout the entire session. Our family photos turned out beautifully, and we’re so grateful to have these memories from our trip.
The gallery offer
Why there are so many of these.
Full disclosure, because it is the honest explanation: beyond the images in your package, extra photographs are $35 each or $200 for the whole gallery — and I unlock the entire gallery free for anyone who leaves a couple of honest reviews.
About nine in ten people take it. That is where a lot of the 254 come from, and the trade is deliberate: you get every photograph from your session, I get people telling the truth about their experience. Nobody is asked to say anything they do not mean.
Next step
Tell me where you are staying.
I will come back with a beach, a time and the reason for both — usually inside the hour.
