Glen is a great man. He puts out hats for the homeless in his free time. Photos also came out 10/10. Best photographer on the island! Might be the nicest person i've ever met in my whole life.

Glen does amazing work. He is such a wonderful person. We was on the big island a week ago to get married and had Glen as our photographer and couldn't be happier. Pictures are amazing. If it's your first time on the island as Glen for recommendations on things to do and places to eat. He kmows all the good spots to go. Thanks again Glen

We've used Photography by Glen twice now and he will be the only photographer we'll use when on the Big Island! Glen shot our wedding in 2005 and then our 10-year anniversary pics in 2015. Not only have we fallen in love with his work but Glen is such a wonderful person to be around and work with. He's got a great eye which comes from years of experience. You won't be disappointed in Photography by Glen!

I contacted Glen via email and made arrangements to have family pictures taken while we were on vacation. He chose a fantastic location, giving us a variety of backgrounds. Glen is easy going and personable. He worked well with our 10 year old. We are very satisfied with the wonderful pictures he took and hope to use him again.
