Wedding Tips
The Traditional Blazing Bright White outfits are great when the wedding is in a dark candle lit church… But Considering the bright tropical sun here in Hawaii these Blazing Bright White outfits tend to Outshine the rest of the photo, especially when the groom is wearing all black. Hang loose and consider Tropical island colors, pastels and prints The lens will open up fully to capture all the stunning details! Of course we capture the Magical Maui Marital Moments regardless of the traditional desires for Blazing Bright White. But by the Adventurous Nature of getting Married on Maui… You are most likely one to Transcend ye ‘ol Traditions. 😉
At first, a surprising number of wedding couples only require “just a few shots”
the obvious money shots and standard poses… Usually the it’s the groom.
What is hard to image to most couples is
how many emotions per minute will be happening in an average wedding.
Oh sure, once they all get into place the view does not seem to change much.
But…
By creatively zooming into the enchanting dynamics that –
In a matter of moments go thru a bit of nervous anticipation,
tears of joy, explosive laughter to a most adorable look of affection
These Emotions Rock Us Right To The Core
They are not captured in any sort of scripted poses that
typically make the ‘Wall sized prints’, but
sincerely tell the True Love Story of those most special moments
More and more of my Wedding Photography clients are taking advantage of my
Fully Documented Wedding Event Photography

our Photography options the Highest Value

offering only a few enhanced photos …
After viewing my wedding galleries with Maui’s finest beach settings
Seeing the overwhelming emotions of True Love on a Tropical Island Paradise…
Many couples have mindfully chosen our style of Wedding Photography
A perfect integration to our Personally Connected Ceremonies of Love & Spirit.
Our photographer’s professional eye for documenting each and every emotion during your most precious
‘Once in a Lifetime event’ –

Typically, the photographer will take hundreds of priceless photos,
But only 48 are included in most packages for enhancements and download.
A very good deal is often available for getting all the ‘as shot’ unenhanced photos.
Inquire with your photographer about extra photos or even all the photos taken.
Fully Documented Wedding Event Photography
Inquire with your photographer about getting all the shots taken
Enhancing all the shots taken is more cost effective
than getting a certain number of extra photos enhanced
Sure it’s ok to
bring your own
video camcorder
but…
Before you assign a
Loved One
to be stuck watching the entire
Maui Dream Wedding
through the camera’s
tiny peep-hole…
Consider This :-O
More often than not, that Loved one is NOT a Professional
and may not even get the thing turned on and recording.
I’ve also seen numerous times the battery dies out or
the memory chip runs out of space part way into the ceremony.
The times when the video IS recorded,
The tiny microphones built into any camcorder can’t pick up the
softly spoken personal heartfelt vows unless the camera
is placed obtrusively close to the Ceremony,
which also spoils the otherwise fabulous
High Resolution still shots being taken.
I have over 30 years in Hollywood’s Film & TV industry
Along with being a lifelong Audiophile Recording Engineer
I not only capture High Definition Video
I capture the best possible audio recordings
of the precious Vow Exchange
Please also consider whether or not
you would like to have your otherwise grand professional pictures of the
darling wedding couple with the priceless Maui Island views sort of ‘compromised’
by having a bevy of camera totin’ guests in the picture :-O
I will shoot & include the honorary guests in my pictures as they are part of the ceremony…
If you would rather see their lovely faces instead of camera holding human tripods…
Let your guests know they should
Take only an occasional shot & not stand there the entire ceremony behind a camera
Be very aware of what the $$ Professional Photographer is shooting so as not to compromise otherwise priceless pix
It is fine to have a loved one shoot video,
but they need to become more of a ‘Camera Crew’ & less of a guest in attendance,
They will need to coordinate their shots with the Professional Photographer –
this way we both get great shots
The Maui Marrying Man Photography includes a Free On-Line Professional Picture Proofing
where all the pictures are available to view at full screen size & resolution
with easy links to send out to Your Loved Ones – Anywhere in the World
Please consider that the
Bride & Groom should Face the Sun. The main view of the still shot camera will benefit for most of Ceremony shots.
Likewise The video camera ‘should’ be pointed towards the subjects that are well light by the sun … Not pointing towards the sun. This gives the subject nice pop, vibrancy & contrast Otherwise the view of the ocean will be ‘whited out’ by the overwhelming power of the sun and the faces will be hidden in the shadows.
Mornings favor weddings with an ocean background here on our popular west facing beaches
You can have a sunset wedding with video & photography of course just expect the camera to be facing the direction the setting sun is shinning ‘Towards’… In most cases that will be some sort of land view.
After the Ceremony the camera can be pointed towards the sunset to get footage during the photo session this can be edited into the end of the Wedding Ceremony video
For morning weddings it’s best to start about an hour to an hour & a half after the sunrise This will give the sun time get up & over Haleakala’s summit
Starting later in the morning may start getting hot & still windless
By late morning you get the heat plus now the sun is shinning down from above those nice big eyebrows we all have &
the creepy shadow that is created gives off that
‘Frankenstein Eye’ look…l
Like at a campfire &
you put your flashlight under your chin for a spooky look…. Same thing when the sun shines down from above.
:-O
Whenever possible it’s a very good idea to
check out some Maui beach locations
at the same time of day you will be having your Wedding
For Morning Weddings
the best time is just when the sun clears the big Haleakala volcano
and that the tree shadows are not covering part of the ceremony location –
about 1.5 hours after the official sunrise
For sunset weddings
Scout a location that appeals to you but pay special attention
to what the Wedding Party’s Background will be
The Bride and Groom will be facing the sun and enjoying the ocean view, Look for what the the background might be viewing and Try to find greenery, trees or other non distracting backgrounds
Try to avoid full-blown condos & tourist traffic.
- Scout Out Your Wedding Site Ahead of Time:
Most of our Beach Wedding Locations are easy to find but
Knowing Exactly where you’re going on your wedding day is
Very Calming and Essential to your Peace of Mind
just before your ‘Once in a Lifetime Maui’d Moment’ - Keep in Mind the ‘Ideal Camera Placement’:
When ‘scouting out your wedding site’ – Keep in Mind the ‘Ideal Camera Placement’The wedding party will be facing the sun and the cameras will be
Getting their best shots with the sun coming from nearly directly Behind the cameras
So – Keep an eye out for what the ‘Background’ will look like
Avoid full view condos & Heavy tourist traffic
or
Consider a Morning Wedding!
With a nicely contrasted ocean view and no Unsightly Condos
Plus enjoy Two Honeymoons in one day!
A HoneyNOON & and HoneyMOON
You’d be like a Honeymooner but a little bit Sooner
After a nap & an optional Sunset photo session
you’ll go back to the shack for your 2cd Honeymoon!A lot of folks tend to think that a sunset beach wedding location would feature the
Sun setting on the ocean as the background for most wedding photography and video
But!
The ocean reflecting the powerful direct rays of the sun will typically appear completely
Burned out white while the wedding party is silhouetted in the dark shadows
A nice effect if done right – Like the logo banner at the top of this page after heavy Photoshop
As you can see, the couple is completely in the dark…
Cool for a logo but not the main wedding ceremony shots.The Wedding Party gets to enjoy this ocean sunset view
while at the same time is nicely lit up by the sun
Just Consider the background - Don’t Get Sunburned Before Your Wedding!
The Hawaiian Sun is Legendarily Merciless
Cover up and use sun block in the days just before your weddingYou won’t want to glowing red skin with your priceless Wedding Photos
:-O - Keep Hydrated in the Days & Hours Before Your Ceremony:
And Bring a small bottle of water to the Ceremony
We are near the Equator and the Sun’s heat takes it out of us!
Also
Consider A Bathroom Stop!
Most of our pristine Beaches are a lot like they were 100’s of Years Ago…
They still Have No Bathrooms!While ‘Scouting out’ your wedding site keep an eye out for bathroom
- Don’t Stay Up Late Boozin’ it Up the Night Before…
You are Expected to do that on your Honeymoon !
&
for evermore if you wish, but…Moderate your Boozing the night before ’cause…
You’ll feel Woozy enough from Luv & Anticipation
:-O
We’ve Maui’d many sunburned, dehydrated, happily Tipsy Love Birds
That Enjoyed Every Moment!
… but Just Sayin’
😉 - Sunglasses are Cool – ‘Miss Manners’ was WRONG!
But still…
You should avoid wearing sunglasses during the hours just before the Ceremony
This way you will have time to better adjust to the bright outsideFor the best photographs – the wedding party will be facing the sun
So get those eyes used to the bright outside sun WITHOUT SUNGLASSES Before
so you are not squinting throughout your Once in a Lifetime Maui’d MomentsYou Should plan on special poses and group shots
Featuring Everyone wearing SunglassesBut if your eyes just can’t adjust to our bright sun
Sunglasses Are Way Cooler Looking Than Squinting! - Insist that your Loved Ones Join the Wedding – Not the Camera Crew:
Your Loved Ones will Look Much Better Standing Proudly By Your Side
than having your otherwise grand professional pictures of the
Darling wedding couple with the priceless Maui Island views sort of
‘Compromised’
by having a bevy of camera totin’ guests in the picture
:-O
I will shoot & include the honorary guests in my pictures
as they are part of the ceremony…
But if they are swarming all over the wedding ceremony…
Then That’s What the Professional Photography will look like.If you would rather see their lovely faces
instead of camera holding human tripods…
Let your guest know
They should Take only an occasional shot &
not stand there the entire ceremony behind a camera.Be very aware of what the Main Professional Photographer is shooting
so as not to compromise otherwise priceless pixFine to have a loved one shoot video or pix
but they need to become more of my ‘Camera Crew’ &
Less of a guest in attendance
They would need to stay Behind me at all timesThey will need to coordinate their shots with the Professional Photographer or
always stay behind the main photographer
this way we both get great shotsBest Advise is to Insist
Your Loved Ones Stand Proudly At Your Sides!
They would look much better as Honorary members of the wedding party
and not become a pile of paparazzi at a presidential press party.All of your pictures and videos are soon available online for all to view
So there really is no need to have
a bevy of camera totin’ human tripods in each and every shotUncle & Auntie will feel obligated to get some of their own footage
with their new smartphones & amateur cameras…
The Best time for your honorary guests to become your Personal Paparazzi
would be before a Sunset Wedding or after a Morning ceremony.Right after the ceremony I take full group shots while everybody is
Still in the Posin’ & Smilin’ mode
After all the sub-group shots I take the couple off alone for
More exclusive & Private photos
at this point your Personal Paparazzi should bust out their tech toysInstead of Burdening your Loves with Attempting to Capture Your
Once in a Lifetime Just Maui’d Video and Photos

While scouting your wedding site and during your own wedding day
Please be mindful and courteous of other beach goers and other wedding partiesNo one has Exclusive rights to the beach
our beach permits only allows us to be thereWe must not intrude on other beach goers or wedding parties
If there is another wedding in progress or a photo shoot
be very mindful not to blunder into their shotIt’s always best to go around Behind the cameras &
ask permission when ever possible without disturbing a ceremony in progressIf another Photographer has some ‘virgin sand’ they are trying to use in the shot
Try to be Mindful and not walk through their set upWe may have scouted out a section of the beach
and had our hearts set on that exact location
but if someone is there before we are
we have to find our own more secluded spot, which is never really a problem
And we can always keep an eye out for our favorite spot to open up later
