Maui Weddings in May

I haven't blogged much this month because we've been so busy with coordinating our Maui weddings in the month of May. This has to be our busiest month of the year. This week it seems I have a wedding every night, sometimes two.

My husband John Souter, who is our main Maui wedding Photographer is concentrating now on shooting more digital photography. We both love the results and so do our Maui wedding couples. It is fun not to have to hold down the number of shots you do, which we had to do when we were shooting film exclusively. Now John is able to shoot so many of the artsy style shots, like close-ups of the cake or "Just Maui'ed" writing in the sand, or a particular part of the bride's dress, or whatever grabs his creative eye. And if we take too many, we can always eliminate the extra shots before we take them into the lab.

But we both especially love the color we're getting with digital. I must say, it spoils you to be able to see right now what you're getting so that you can make camera adjustments, if necessary and shoot another shot if you like. We also find that the couples get into seeing a few of the shots we've taken, while on the beach or at their wedding site, knowing how good they're coming out. With so many Maui weddings now in May, it is so very much more fun to shoot digital.

We just did a fun Maui wedding for a couple the other night at the Sea Watch Restaurant. Rika, the bride was from Japan, and her family came from the east. The groom was from Wisconsin and brought his family from the U.S. mainland. Maui makes the perfect spot for couples coming from those two extreme distances for their wedding.
