By Alika Kinimaka


A wedding may involve months of intense planning and agonizing over the smallest details. A honeymoon and ceremony in a tropical setting might be the ultimate experience for guests and bride alike. However to preserve that special day of that once in a life time event it is important to get the best Maui wedding pictures possible.

While memories may fade after a while, a photograph can immortalize the glowing bride, her proud family, the perfect wedding cake and the handsome groom. With all the effort that a couple puts into the ceremony and the arrangements it is important that a professional photographer be engaged. Amateur photographs may be wonderful for vacation but miss the mark entirely when it comes to wedding pictures.

Different lighting conditions may necessitate the photographer using special lenses for outdoor ceremonies or low light conditions. The chosen professional should be made aware of the settings for all portions of the wedding he will be expected to photograph. Some professional photographers offer special packages for bridal parties and may and some may include videos as part of specific packages.

Finding just the right professional photographer can be relatively simple if friends are willing to share their recent wedding photos. However, despite recommendations a couple should also review the photographer's portfolio and past work to be sure that their skills will fit with the couples plans. When discussing the ceremony and photos with the photographer it is important that how many photos are required and how long the photographer will remain is discussed as well.

For certain couples, photos of the ceremony are sufficient for their album. Other couples may choose to have the photographer shoot photos before during and after the ceremony. It is important to discuss how much time the photographer will be expected to invest and what special requirements the couple have.

A professional photographer normally arrives well in advance of the ceremony in order to set up their equipment and to gauge lighting and distances. Normally there will be many more photos taken than the couple has ordered. The extra photos are to insure that the couple has multiple photos to choose from for almost every part of their ceremony. Selecting the best photos is important since the album will remain a visual record of their beginning as a married couple.

Some couples may choose to have only their ceremony photographed or videotaped. Some couples prefer photographs of almost every stage of the wedding all the way to the reception, the cutting of the cake and the happy couple's leave taking. It is important to arrange with the photographer just how long they are expected to remain with the party to avoid misunderstandings.

The best Maui wedding pictures will usually come from a professional wedding photographer. The entire process can be made simpler if the bride discusses her expectations before hand with the photographer. If videos are desired then the cost and duration of the videos should be discussed before committing to a particular photographer.
