Maui wedding photographers come in many different forms. Some are seasoned professionals with extensive online portfolios while others are amateurs who work in the hotel by day and prowl the beaches at night. It’s pretty easy to tell who’s who; just explore their website. The professionals will have well designed websites with plenty of imagery from different weddings. They will also be more expensive. Hiring a photographer is not like getting a product at Wal Mart. You get what you pay for. Since your Maui wedding is not likely to happen again in your lifetime, it makes sense to hire the best.

Maui Beach Weddings
Saturday, June 14th, 2008
A beach wedding in Maui, the number one island destination for 13 years according to Conde Naste readers, is incredibly romantic and beautiful. The beaches in Maui are well known and there are relatively few beaches that are not very well used. A long time resident of Maui will know which beaches are little used, ones that will afford more privacy for the wedding couple. Since the beaches are all public, beachgoers and possibly other wedding couples, may be present during your wedding. It is a first-come-first-served situation. We never ask people to move because they were there first and Maui experiences over 8000 wedding per year. We need to be respectful of the folks relaxing on their day off. The wedding planners at Marry Me Maui are familiar with the most secluded and accessible public beaches on Maui and can arrange for your romantic Maui wedding at one of them. Call Marry Me Maui Wedding Planners at 1-800-745-0344.
Maui Wedding Photographers
Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008
Maui wedding photographers can be seen scrambling over rocks and crawling on their bellies every afternoon around sunset on any given beach in Maui. Sometimes several of them at a time, making well dressed brides and grooms canter up the beach or walk in the surf. All in the name of getting “The Shot”. There are a lot of us to choose from so follow a few simple rules when hiring a photographer:
1) Make sure you like the images on their website. The website is a direct reflection of the photographer. If it is old and poorly designed with bad imagery you should probably find someone else.
2) You get what you pay for. In these days of 500 dollar digital cameras and photo cd’s, everyone is a photographer, even the guy who works at the T-shirt shop during the day and cranks out $99. weddings after work. These people are amateurs and your images will show it. Spend a few bucks on a professional, you will be glad you did.
3) Ask for references. Give a bride or two a call or an e-mail. If the pictures were great, they’ll let you know
4) Ask to see a complete wedding. We all edit the best stuff for the website. You want to see what kind of work you can expect through the whole day.
