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,

I just arrived home from an awesome shoot at Paipu beach in Wailea, Hawaii. There are usually several weddings going on at this beach which is next to Poolenalena Beach another popular wedding spot but, there was only one wedding party this afternoon along with our engagement shoot.

The couple  I worked with today were both fabulous to work with, very easy going and both beautiful, making my job very easy. It’s so wonderful to see two people in love with one another. You could actually feel their love for one another as I worked with them.   Amazing …..

If your thinking of engagement  photo session, I would love the be able to work with you. There are numerous secluded locations on Maui for your romantic photo session.

Photos will be posted soon!

Thing to do on Maui

Jul 21

Comments Off

Maui is a dream for the active traveler. It’s been consistently chosen as the best island in the world. There are so many things to do that you’ll never be able to do them all in just one visit. Here, however, are some starters with some inspiration from the Maui Visitors Bureau. 1. Attend a Luau Several hotels stage beachside luaus featuring Hawaiian foods such as kalua pig, cooked in an earthen oven, poi and haupia (coconut pudding), along with a buffet of more familiar foods. There is lots of Hawaiian music, hula, and even fire dancing. In Lahaina, on a specially built, open-air luau grounds next to the ocean, the Old Lahaina Luau is one of the finest luaus in the world, offering excellent Hawaiian food and entertainment in an unparalleled setting.

2. Bike

Few places are more friendly to bikers than Maui. It is possible to bicycle from the East End of the island at the Wailea Resort to Kapalua on the West End. Much of the ride is along a spectacular shoreline road. There are guided downhill bicycle tours down part of Haleakala, through the flower farms and small towns of Upcountry to the beach at Paia. In 38 miles, the elevation drops 10,000 feet. Bicycle rentals are available all over the island.

3. Dine

Maui is Hawaiʻi’s dining epicenter, with a restaurant for every taste. Maui has attracted enthusiastic chefs who make national headlines using fresh local produce from Upcountry farmers. From lavish hotel dining rooms to lunch counters serving plate lunches, Maui’s eateries are pleasing and diverse. Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese, Italian and Mexican are among the specialty restaurants. The pride of the island, Hawaii Regional Cuisine, is served at many award-winning restaurants.

4. Dive

Maui has some of the finest dive spots in Hawaii, with dozens of reputable operators. There are two marine conservation areas, one at Honolua Bay on West Maui and the other at Molokini, a partially submerged volcanic crater offshore at Wailea. Boats at Lahaina and Maʻalaea offer a number of dive and snorkel excursions. Glass bottom boats and a pleasure submarine open up the wonders to non-swimmers.

5. Drive

One of the world’s most scenic drives is located on Maui – the Hana Highway – with 54 bridges in 56 miles along a winding lava shore, through old plantation towns, past miles of beaches and through towering forests. A drive to the summit of Haleakala is also a must. Haleakala crater appears like the surface of an alien planet and the views of Maui from the summit are amazing. Car rentals are often included in hotel or airline packages

6. Hike

Walk into a rainforest echoing with the songs of birds found nowhere else on the planet. There are trails to waterfalls with plunge pools for swimming, and walks into valleys so deep they never see a sunrise or a sunset. There are trails into the dramatic lunar landscape of Haleakala crater. There are trails and nature walks for every level of skill. A free Maui Recreational Map is available from Maui’s Department of Land and Natural Resources.

8. Shop

The island abounds in galleries, international shops, designer boutiques and shopping malls. Many carry Maui specialty items and products unique to Hawaiʻi. These include hand-turned bowls and objects of beautiful native woods; hats woven of lau hala; hand painted resort fashions; and one-of-a-kind jewelry, glass work, and art. Lahaina is a shopper’s paradise. There is also a weekly swap meet in Kahului and numerous other craft fairs and farmer’s markets across the island.

9. Family Photos-

While your on Maui visiting, why not have your families portrait taken by Behind The Lens Maui. Nicole has a keen eye to capture you ans your family as you are naturally. Behind The Lens Maui has numerous and affordable packages to meet your needs.  There are also vacation documentary packages available as well. If you tired of having to drag you camera around to all the activities, Nicole can tag along and be your personal photographer during your visit on Maui.
