In order to capture the full gamut of
emotions that are in full bloom at these
'most precious Maui Marrying Moments'
a whole lot more pix are required
One can go from tears of joy
a love struck trance
to tears of laughter all within a 'moment'
;-)
While a lot of other big buck photographers offer
as few as only 8 super rigidly posed pix
for a half hour session
I will shoot more than 8 pix a second during
Dove & Butterfly releases & Special Action Shots...
When you take that Romantic
Just Maui'd walk down the beach
Do you really want just one of those shots ??...
when only all of them together tell the True Love Story
For those that can pick up your new wife'y
and Twirl her around...
You won't be able to do that until 'death do we part'
so you really should consider getting all those pix
while you still can
;-)
This is your once in a life time
of “dear sweet precious moments”....

‘Breathlessly Precious'
Long after the cake crumbs have been eaten
& the flowers have faded
These precious pix will be
all that you will have to cherish those
Magical Maui'd Moments
The selection process for additional images requires heaps of patience
since each & every image is Precious
but once back home, a lot of folks get caught up in 'ye old rat race'
which can delay the chance to sit down & select their pix for weeks to months
In order to document each & every emotion, lots of shots are required
In a matter of moments one can go through a bit of
nervous anticipation, tears of joy, explosive laughter to a most adorable look of affection

Don't stick a Loved One
with the Burden of watching the
Maui Dream Wedding thru the
camera's tiny peep hole
:-O
Please consider that 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, vibrance & contrast
Mornings favor weddings with an ocean background
here on our popular west facing beaches
You can have a sunset wedding with video
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 & 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 eye brows 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

that come out when a couple exchanges their Vows in a once in a life time True Love experience

Consider the Timeless Wonders and Value of Integrating my
Fully Documented Wedding Photography, Wedding Ceremony Video Shoot
and your own Custom Made Dream ~ Photo Fusion Video
Considerations for Selecting Wedding Photos
A surprising number of wedding couples at first only consider wanting to have "just a few shots"
the obvious money shots and standard poses
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
This is my 'Forte' ~ my Specialty & Highest Value
Where as alot of couples only wanted a few pix originally...
after viewing thier full galleries with Maui's finest beach settings
and the overwhelming emotions of True Love on a Tropical Island Paridise...
all couples have greatly upgraded thier pix selections with more than half going for my
Flagship Photo offer to get all of the wedding photos taken enhanced with the
fully mastered High Resolution image files delivered on our Island Style Bamboo USB drive
But heck
for less than a lot of other 'rock star' wedding photographers (with 'Golith marketing campaigns)
charge for just a small number of ridgedly posed 'concept photography' shots
you can have 100's of very high resolution imiges that
Fully Document the Wedding's Entire Emotional Experience
often for less than a Buck apiece !
Not to cheapen the quality of the photography in any sense with the number of high res images you can get
I may only have a grass roots 'mom & pop' marketing budget
but with my 30+ year career in Hollywood's Film, Tv and Audiophile Recording Studios
My ultra top of the line gear and most importantly...
My eye for documenting each and every emotion during your most precious
'Once in a Lifetime event' -
The Value of this Unique Photography is Unparalleled and Certainly Not Equaled Anywhere!
You will still get those priceless stunning money shots
shot and enhanced to a master digital image of perfection that alone
would justify the cost of the entire gallery... but heck
for less than a buck a piece
You can Continue to Experiance your Just Maui'd Moments for a lifetime with my
Fully Documented Wedding Event Photography
or Affectionately referred to as our
Big Bang for Your Buck deal!
Like Your Love...
It's the spark that set the universe in motion!

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 per pix & or per Gallery
Ideal Camera Placement
Please consider that the Bride & Groom should Face the Sun
The main view of the still shot camera will benfit 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, vibrance & 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 & 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 eye brows 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 offical sunrise
For sunset weddings
Scout a location that appeals to you but pay special attention 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.
More Photography Options
I could cover the Bachelor & Bachelorette Parties but
Nobody ever seems to want any evidence of those moments :-O
But often requested -
The bride's pre-wedding photos
covering the wedding reception &
even perform photo shoots on location
during your Honeymoon vacation
We can 'create' or 're-create' your wedding underwater
on a SUP or floaty toy of choice ;-)
10 Tips to Make the Most of Your Wedding Day
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 da 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 relfecting 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 completly 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 wedding
You 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 Boozin da 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 sun glasses during the hours just before the Ceremony
This way you will have time to better adjust to the bright outside
For 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 Moments
You Should plan on special poses and group shots
Featuring Everyone wearing Sunglasses
But 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 tri-pods...
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 pix
Fine 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 times
They will need to coordinate their shots with the Professional Photographer or
always stay behind the main photographer
this way we both get great shots
Best 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 on line for all to view
So there really is no need to have
a bevy of camera totin' human tripods in each and every shot
Uncle & Auntie will feel obligated to get some of their own footage
with thier new smart phones & amature 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 thier tech toys

Please be mindful and curtious of other beach goers
While scouting your wedding site and during your own wedding day
Please be mindful and curious of other beach goers and other wedding parties
No one has Exclusive rights to the beach
our beach permits only allows us to be there
We 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 shot
It's always best to go around Behind the cameras &
ask permission when ever possible without disturbing a ceremony in progress
If another Photographer has some 'virgin sand' they are trying to use in the shot
Try to be Mindful and not walk through their set up
We 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
