Looking
for a Maui
wedding photographer to take your engagement photos?
At Trade Winds Photography we know what it takes to capture the perfect
engagement photos every time… By the time a couple enters the engagement phase
of their courtship, they have already accumulated quite a few memories of their
time together. Naturally, along with those memories come photos. However,
engagement photos are different than pictures taken at other points in a
relationship. Engagement photos immortalize a new phase in a relationship, tell
of a couple’s unique history together and give them the ability to share with
others their vision of the future they will soon spend together as man and
wife. Yes, engagement photos have all those goals to fulfill. This is why it is
so important to take photos that will engage viewers and that will capture
precious moments in time.
- · Keep it natural: Try to be yourselves. Are you the kind of couple everyone knows of as being free-wheeling, adventurous and playful? Let those qualities reflect themselves in your pictures. Pick an activity the two of you would normally engage in and have some fun while the camera captures it. This is the best way for people who will view the picture to get a sense of who you are as a couple.
- · Choose the Perfect Location: Sometimes locations say a great deal about a couple. They are evocative of a particular time and a mood. Having your engagement session at a location that means something to you – a restaurant, a spot in the park, a certain cafe – will not only tell people something about your relationship, it will also make you more relaxed as the subject of the photos. This comfortable mood will reflex itself in the pictures you take. Lucky for you Maui has so many perfect, picturesque locations.
- · Have fun: Be willing to be silly, romantic, and whimsical. Don’t stress out over the fact that the camera is there. Take many photos and choose the ones you think will say the most about your relationship.
- · Try different angles: Try classic simple shots from different angles and different distances to give you a greater variety of pictures and poses. Nothing is more boring than a group of staid pictures taken from the same angle.
