It's not always about weddings in Maui.

It's not always about weddings in Maui. Who would of thought I would say that?  I mean I make a great deal of my living from photographing weddings in Maui so why would I say it's not always about weddings. Well, what I think it's about is romance and fun. There are a variety of things revolving around relationships that bring our clients to Maui.









How many couples do you think come to Maui and Hawaii just to relax ,have fun and vacation? How many of those couples fall in love,get engaged and marry some where else?  It's not always about weddings....is it?  How many people come here and fall in love while visiting? I'll raise my hand.  The first time I came to Maui I fell in love twice!  Once with the Island, the people and the way of life and on the same trip with a beautiful young lady.  Things didn't work out the way I thought but years later I moved to Maui because she kept calling to my heart. 


 

Every couple has their unique story and that's the point I'm making. It doesn't matter how it happened ,how or why your here, it just matters that your here,    having fun, falling more in love and enjoying all Maui and Hawaii has to offer.

Paul and Christine came to Maui to vacation with friends.  While they were here they contacted me and wanted to do a portrait session.  We spoke with them and came up with a great idea for their location. 



We shot the session at some ruins located in the middle of a cane field.  Perfect for what they wanted.  We had so much fun they contacted me the two days later for another session, on the beach at sunset.  I know they had a great time and I had a great time and hopefully it shows in the photos. 









That's what its all about.... having fun, falling in love and enjoying every opportunity Maui presents to enjoy life.  Remember it's not always about the Wedding, but if it is, I can help.


Aloha and have fun!

Beach Weddings in Kapalua Bay, Maui, Hawaii

Cinco de Mayo in Maui. That's right, on May 5,  2011 Andrew and Jacqueline choose this well celebrated day to exchange their wedding vows. On one of the most beautiful beaches in all the world,  Kapalua Bay Beach, Andrew and Jacqueline were married by Rev Laki Ka'ahumanu. This time of year the beach should have been crowded, but luck must be with our couple because a rain shower cleared the beach not more that 20 minutes before they were to wed. They practically had the beach all to themselves. For anyone wanting a simple and fun service this is the way to go!  Catherine of Destination Hawaii Weddings arranged everything and because photography is so very important, the wedding couple trusted Trade Winds Photography to photograph this special event. They skies parted, and another magical and romantic wedding in Maui took place. Remenber to ask for Tracy at Trade Winds Photography.

Trade Winds Photography at the Westin Maui


Aloha and welcome to another wonderful wedding from Trade Winds Photography. On March 5, 2011 Omari and Jenny were married by Kahu Laki Ka'ahumanu at the Westin Maui. Their original plan to be married at Kapalua Bay Beach was in dire straits. Maui was being hit with quite the rain for most of that day and as you can imagine the bride and groom were none to happy. They called earlier in the day to see what options we had, and after some discussion with them I came up with a suggestion to get them on at the beautiful Westin Maui resort at Kaanapali beach. With the help of the wonderful people at the Westin Maui we were able to keep our couple dry and happy. Talking with the couple, after the ceremony, I asked if there was anything special I could do for them, and because it had been raining  all day,  the couple responded "how about a nice sunset".  Sometimes you can't have what you want, but this was not the case, not five minutes after their request the skies opened up and we captured a spectacular sunset. The rain stopped for ten minutes, enough time for us to get some great stuff on the beach.  Check out the their photos, and remember to ask for Trade Winds Photography!
