In the past 18 years that I have been in business and hundreds of wedding later, I've made some simple observations on how to get great photos during your wedding. I hope these simple tips will help you on your wedding day.

Allow enough time for the photographer to get the pictures that will be memorable for you. I've been in many weddings where the time was so limited for the picture taking, some of the more creative shots had to be passed in order to get the basic, must have ones. Ask your photographer how much time is needed and work out a plan that you like.

If you are having an outdoor ceremony & picture taking, you should have a backup, indoor site, in case of bad weather. Living in Hawaii, you never really know what the weather is going to be like.

I have seen wedding couples try to take care of too many things on their wedding day and are stressed out by it. Your facial expressions may reflect some of this stress. The key is to delegate the responsibilities to others and enjoy your wedding day, stress free.

Proper planning with your photographer to go over what you like, different styles available, and the pictures you must have will eliminate surprises when you receive your photos.

Working with your photographer prior to your wedding is a great idea and highly recommended. I love to work with the couples photographing their engagement portraits. This will make the couple & photographer feel more comfortable on the wedding day. I always observe the interaction between the couple and decide on what type of posing and directions I will suggest to them.

I hope these few tips will help you with your wedding. If you have any comments or questions please email. Thank You!
