Maui Weddings: Sunset can be a stunning time for your ceremony.

Image
Maui skies can light up like fireworks on the fourth of July sometimes. Even after the sun sets, the colors just seem to keep on going, changing and getting deeper in color as time passes. We had such a sunset yesterday with Melissa and David right after their Maui Beach wedding ceremony at Paipu beach in Makena. The colors were spectacular and we were their with the Nikon to capture it. Folks always ask us when is the best time to plan their Maui Wedding. We are happy to do it in the morning or evening as each time of day presents a different, unique palette to work with. The afternoon light gets softer as it gets later while the morning light is more blue and sharper yielding a bright blue ocean and more defined shadows. While we can't always guarantee a spectacular sunset, Maui is usually generous with her evening light show. We love watching what the light will do and our passion is capturing our wedding couples with Maui in the background in all her glory. Call your professi...

The Best Time for your Maui Wedding: Morning or Sunset?

Image
Our clients almost always ask us what is the perfect time of day for their Maui Wedding. There's no right or wrong answer to this question rather there's only your plans for the day and what kind of imagery you want to see from your Maui Wedding Photographer. The late afternoon, usually 1 hour before sunset, is our most popular time for our Maui Wedding celebrations. The light tends to soften, the temperatures cool a bit and the beach goers leave for their hotels and dinner. Of course, there's also that famous Maui sunset which is spectacular most of the time. Spectacular Maui Sunset Maui Sunset Wedding Photography Even on Maui the sunset is not guaranteed but it's a good bet you'll get some shots like the ones above when you schedule your Maui wedding for the late afternoon. One of the most common scheduling conflicts is the Luau. Most luau's begin around 4 or 5 pm so our luau clients want a ceremony at 3. Not a great idea, especially in the summe...

Sunset Weddings on Maui

Image
Maui's beaches are pristine environments where you can find colorful coral reefs, endangered green sea turtles, humpback whales and all manner of sea life. Nature was kind to Maui in that most of her beautiful accessible beaches face west, toward the sunset. This gives us an excellent opportunity to get the light gear out and take some fabulous, dramatic images of our clients as the sun sets over the horizon. The fading embers of sunset combined with the sea and the lava rocks are an enduring image of Hawaii that every Maui wedding couple should have in their wedding album. Since the sunset happens pretty quickly at these latitudes, we generally begin our 15 or 20 minute Maui wedding ceremonies about an hour before sunset, depending on the size of your group, which gives us plenty of time to photograph the ceremony, your friends and family, and then spend an ample amount of time with couple getting both daylight and sunset images. Marry Me Maui Wedding Planners puts their emphasi...
