Affordable Maui Weddings

We named one of our sister websites Affordable Maui Weddings because that's exactly what we offer: affordable Maui weddings! We were surfing on the Internet to see what our competitors are offering and we came upon another Maui weddings site who had an interesting table with a price comparison of several Maui weddings companies along with his own. Of course, his prices were the lowest on the table.

We had to smile. We wish that competitor would include our company in his comparison. Our prices are much lower than his. The reason we can do this is because we are almost completely self-contained. John is both our main Maui photographer -- you can see his photography website at Maui Photographer and he is also our main minister.

You might wonder how John can do both photography and minister at the same Maui wedding. He takes the "before" pictures, then hands the camera over to me and I shoot the wedding proper), then he does all of the romantic shots after the wedding right up until sunset. As you can see by the photography on this site and also on John's Maui photography site, he has a lot of experience and gets great results. And that translates into making your Maui wedding that much more affordable.

By the way, John is a "true" minister (as compared to most all of the other ministers on the island who are really just "officiants"). He received his "Rev." status and his license the long way, attending a four-year Christian college and spending years as a church planter and pastor in Northern California and Oregon. So being the minister is not just one of the hats he wears "to make more money", it flows out of what John is.

That same competitor's website makes the statement to the effect that a true professional photographer will not sell you his negatives. Now we all know why he claims that. There is a lot of money to be made in doing reprints. We've had other Maui photographers tell us that they made another 30 to 50 percent profit by selling reprints and enlargements to their clients and their family after the wedding.

John is a popular professional Maui photographer and he chooses to sell my negatives and CDRoms of both my film and digital Maui weddings. Why? To be honest, because we don't want the hassle of having to go through those negatives and those CDRoms to make prints for our clients. We see it as an accounting nightmare, especially considering that we've been doing weddings here for eight years and would have about 1200 sets of negatives to be filed and found. We would much rather just sell those negatives to you so that you can make your own duplicates and enlargements. That way we all benefit.

So these are just some of the reasons why Maui Me also does business as Affordable Maui Weddings. We do a quality Maui wedding at a very affordable price. So much so, that our competitors don't want to put our prices on their website!

Please feel free to go to the home page for Affordable Maui Weddings if you like. It is just another version of "us." The prices are the same but only the names (of the packages) have been changed.
