What are the four words that she will remember? Will you marry me?”

Those four little words may well be the most important question you’ll ever ask. The rest of your life will depend on the answer to that question. I

This question and the way it is asked is a BIG DEAL TO HER and the way it’s asked even bigger. You don’t want to just pull out the ring box while you’re watching TV and say, “Oh, yeah, I thought you might like to, uh, y’know…would you?” Make it a moment you’ll both remember forever!

SHE will remember it; every tiny detail of it-the weather, what she was wearing, what you were wearing, the time, the place, everything. She’ll remember whom she told first and what they said, how her parents reacted, and how your parents reacted-everything! So take the time and make the effort to plan it so the details come out right.  The diamond is just one part of the Perfect Proposal. It takes thought, planning, loving attention to detail. The more romantic the better. If your not the romantic type you can do some research on-line and learn ways to pop the question. Along with asking  the question is the prepreation for your big day. It’s best to plan out every detail so  everything runs smoothly.

One of the most overlooked things is arranging for the photographer and planning out your engagement shoot. This should be done weeks out prior to your wedding date so  you have time to take advantage of your photos. Your engagement photos can be used for a variety of things to dress up your wedding. One of the things you can do is use your photos for the invitations.  For more ideas on how to use your engagement photos call Nicole at Behind The Lens Maui.

Pre- Wedding Photos

Getting engaged is one of the happiest and romantic times of your life. Whether you have been courting for just a few weeks or a few years you are jointly making both a personal and public commitment to get married and to spend the rest of your lives together.

In the early years, the engagement period was a time to negotiate a ‘bride-price’ since the family of the women was losing a working member of the family and they had to be compensated for her loss. Centuries later, the situation was reversed with fathers paying their future son-in-law a payment or ‘dowry’ to marry off their daughter. The engagement then became a time to agree the dowry and to collect the bride-to-be’s possessions (her trousseau). Fortunately today, matters are much simpler and the engagement period is a busy and exciting time where the betrothed couple plan their wedding day and prepare for married life.

One of the today’s traditions is having engagement photos taken. The photos make great wedding gifts, thanks you cards or photo enlargements are wonderful for your guests to sign as a guest book.  If your planning your  destination wedding on Maui or if your a local resident getting married on the island please consider Nicole at Behind The Lens Maui for your photography needs. All photo packages include a Incredible discount for your engagement photo session.

Aloha,

Well July has been a busy month for weddings in Maui, Hawaii. I was a bit concerned about the number of bookings  the first of June but, all of a sudden my schedule filled up. Wow… It’s been fantastic!  I have been blessed with the best clients in the world. I’ve met some wonderful people so far this month and many of them I will remain in contact with for years to come.

I also have had been working with Maui Surfer Girls owner, Dustin Tester again this year capturing her summer camps for girls. This is my fifth year shooting for Maui Surfer Girls and I have gotten o know many of the young ladies who are loyal surfer girls who have repeatedly attended MSG camp over the years. MSG is celebrating it’s tenth year anniversary this year and I am very proud to be able to be a part of the team at Maui Surfer Girls as the staff photographer. If your planning to visit Maui this summer and are looking to learn how to surf, I highly recommend calling Dustin- owner of Maui Surfer Girls.

If your planning to visit Maui this summer and would like family, engagement , Romantic, vacation documentary or Surf photography services while in Hawaii please give me a call. I would love to meet you and customize a photography session for you.
