Family vacations on Maui are a special treat and what better way to remember them than with a professional photography session on one of Maui’s world famous beaches? There’s probably a digital camera for every member of your group but that also means every picture you bring home will have one person missing! Give us a call and let our team capture your entire group, all together, during a relaxed and casual Maui family portrait session. We always have an assistant at the shoot to create that magazine look we all like and we always provide an edited cd of high resolution digital images along with full reproduction rights. Please call us at 1-808-242-1100 to book your session. It’s fun, easy and a great way to capture your Maui Memories.

We get to do the occasional local wedding here in Maui and it’s always fun to hook up with one of Maui’s ohana and get some great imagery. Yesterday, we had the pleasure of spending a few hours with Kahikolu and Kimo who married in a small church here in Wailuku and then had a lavish lunch reception at the King Kamehameha golf course (The poke was ono). It was your typical Maui Wedding Day - Warm, bright and breezy. So breezy, that we almost lost a flex fill but one of the guests was kind enough to chase it down the hill. Mahalo! Here’s a couple of images from the event.

As professional Maui Photographers, we have the honor of photographing folks from all across the globe. While we love ALL our clients, some of them sparkle and shine like no others. Such was the case with Christelle and Jefferey. A couple, obviously very much in love with a beautiful family in tow, we were privileged to photograph their wedding at Kapalua Bay on July 28, 2010. Rev. Pia did his usual outstanding job and the evening was perfect! Some pictures of the event follow.

April is always a busy month here on the valley isle; the weather is beautiful, cool crisp nights and bright sunny days that hover around 80 degrees. Perfect for ocean kayaking or a round of drinks at the pool bar. Rochelle and Hedley decided April was a good month to tie the knot so they talked a group of their friends and family, some of them from down under, into taking the plane ride out to paradise. I’m sure they didn’t have to twist their arms! The wedding was beautiful and the weather cooperated with us. After a bright blue wedding we finished with a gorgeous Makena Sunset.

As wedding photographers in Maui, we have had the privilege to photograph people from all around the world at some of the most pristine beaches on the planet. Occasionally we are blessed with a passing shower but they are generally brief and tend to cool things down. Most people are unaware of how dry Maui really is. Maui Rainfall averages vary from over 300 inches per year at Puu Kukui in the west Maui mountains, to 12 inches per year in the Kihei/Wailea/Makena area. Most of the beaches we use fall in the 12 inch category, so rain is rare. I’m posting a shot of a wedding we did at Kapalua Bay in April, you can see how beautiful the weather was. This representation is the norm rather than the exception.

A Maui destination wedding is one of the best ways to tie the knot. Maui has a large pool of professional photographers, awesome venues, reliable wedding planners and some of the best catering on earth. We were fortunate to have the chance to photograph Candice and Josh at the Haiku Mill, a rustic and beautiful wedding venue on the north shore of Maui. I’m posting a few shots from the wedding from inside the guest house where brides often get ready, as well as some shots from the outside. We have photographed Maui weddings at every major venue in Maui so if you’re looking for a private venue, call us for the photography, we’re well acquainted with the particulars of every location.

On June 3rd, 2010 we had the pleasure of photographing Mary Kate and Dan at a morning ceremony on Kapalua Bay Beach. The morning was cool, as is usual and a little cloudy which softens the light and acts like a huge softbox. The wedding was intimate, about 15 guests in attendance and was beautiful.
Mary Kate and Dan
What about the sunset, you say? Simple, Mary Kate booked us for the next evening, in a different location, to do those shots. The morning wedding gives the family a free day to celebrate and the evening sunset session the next day gives the couple a chance to rest and go at it again.

Mahalo Mary Kate and Dan. Much happiness and Aloha.

What a privilege to live here on Maui doing what we love to do. It’s always a treat to take a group of people who have never been here before and bring them to one of Maui’s pristine beaches for a heartfelt wedding ceremony and photo shoot after. Even folks who’ve been coming here for years are surprised by some of the out of the way spots we know and delighted by them.

There’s been quite a bit of hype on various destination websites regarding the “state of the economy” and consumers’ expectation of negotiating professional fees.
There’s always somebody willing to sell their service more cheaply than somebody else. That doesn’t mean we should all race to the bottom in setting fees. A client who’s looking for a 20 or 30% discount off your pricelist may not be the client you’re after. Conversely, the photographer who is willing to cut his fees dramatically just to book, may not be the photographer you want to retain. He may be a part timer who doesn’t depend on his photography business to pay the bills, so what happens if he loses his part time gig? With the “state of the economy”, that’s a real possibility. Where does your deposit go when he leaves the island, especially if you’ve booked 5 or 6 months out? What happens when he gets a call from a client who wants to book him for his full rate on the same date as your discount wedding?
When your discounted photographer shows up for the wedding, is she bringing everything she normally brings? Her assistant? Her top end lighting gear? Her best creative attitude? Will the edit be cut short to minimize time spent? Corners are always cut when the product is discounted. Photography, like other businesses, is run for profit, and a discounted rate means less service to make up for lost profit. For your
Maui wedding, this seems like a terrible risk to take. You don’t get any “do overs”, that’ll cost you double.
My suggestion to everybody is to calm down. I’ve seen recessions come and go. To potential clients: Find photography you like and a package you can afford and book it. Don’t believe the William Shatner ads and “negotiate like a pro”. You might wind up with someone who doesn’t shoot like a pro. To the
professional Maui photographers out there: When the recession ends, you’re going to be bummed that you can’t book a full price gig because you held the date for a discounted one.

Every now and then we get people inquiring about our full service Maui wedding packages but they want their friend to shoot the wedding. We always scratch our heads over this. A destination wedding is a once in a lifetime event. Saving a few bucks on the photography is not the best way to go. Sure, your friend has some great shots of their kids or may have had some work published, but unless they are a professional, shooting for their living, the results are sure to be disappointing.
A seasoned pro understands the intricacies and flow of the wedding day. A pro will have 2 cameras with different lenses and know when to use them. They’ll have remote lighting setups, understand how fast the light can change here in Maui and how to cope with it. We bring an assistant who knows how to operate diffusers and reflectors to modify the light, umbrellas to create an on location studio look and in the end, photoshop abilities that make each image a keeper.
So the next time you’re thinking about letting your brother-in-law the marketing analyst with a Nikon shoot your wedding, remember that marketing is his profession. Leave the photography to the photographers. You won’t be disappointed.
