They Have Experience With Various Locations

When selecting a photographer for your destination wedding, it is important to consider their experience level in photographing such events. An experienced professional photographer will have the necessary knowledge and expertise in staging photoshoots and ensuring that everyone looks great in their photos. They will also be familiar with working in different lighting conditions, which can be especially helpful if you are having a beach or outdoor wedding. They may even be able to recommend a location to visit if you don’t have one planned yet.

They Can Expertly Stage a Photoshoot

An experienced professional photographer has the skills to stage and capture beautiful photos both indoors and outdoors. They know how to get the best shots, as well as how to adjust lighting levels so that they don’t appear too bright or dark on camera. A skilled photographer can also help create creative images by finding interesting backgrounds or using props to make the photos even more special. Not only that, but they can also provide tips on how to ensure the shoot goes as smoothly as possible.

They Can Put Everyone at Ease

Experienced photographers also have the ability to put everyone at ease during a photoshoot. With their friendly nature and adequate photo-taking knowledge, they will ensure that everyone feels comfortable during the session while still getting great shots. This allows everyone involved to enjoy themselves without feeling stressed out, self-conscious, or overwhelmed by the process.

They Don’t Miss A Thing

A skilled professional photographer knows how to capture those candid moments that could otherwise be easily missed due to all of the commotion surrounding a destination wedding. From fun shots of family members laughing together to romantic moments between the couple, a good photographer can capture these memories forever through stills or video footage so you can relive them again and again over time. This means you don’t have to worry about the details, so you can just enjoy the day.

Get Creative With The Results

When it’s time to get your photos back, there are lots of things you can do with your favorite shots outside of framing them. Adobe Express offers tons of tools that allow you to get creative and make keepsakes or gifts with the images of your choice. Here are some ideas to get you started:

  • Take a stunning image from your shoot and use it as a thank-you card. This is a great way to show your appreciation to your guests for traveling to your wedding. You can even customize each card with a different photo every time.
  • Place your favorite photo right where you’ll see it every day by creating a desktop wallpaper. Just choose the template you like and customize it with the colors and text you want. You can create your wallpaper in minutes with this simple tool.
  • Make a sweet Valentine’s Day card for your spouse using a great shot of the two of you from the big day. Not only is this a great memento, but it’s also easy to do. Just upload the image and use the tool to add fun or romantic text.
  • Create a fun photo collage that shows off your creativity and highlights the best parts of your destination wedding. This tool allows you to play with different fonts and typography once you’ve uploaded your image. Perfect for remembering your special day!

What was your first memory? Does it happen to have a printed image to go with it? Do you have a vague memory because an image was printed? I know mine. I was probably about four years old, wearing my jammies, holding my stuffed bunny, and sitting on the front steps beside a pumpkin. It just so happens there’s a picture of it. I do remember it, but I don’t know if I would have if there weren’t an image of it. That image is totally yellow and printed with rounded corners straight from the early ’80s, and I cherish it!

Images are important and trigger memories that are so obvious when you see them but are so hard to remember when it’s not right there in front of you. When you think about what you will remember from your wedding, will you remember all the fun details? The way you looked at each other right after the ceremony? How your mom looked at you during your vows, and on and on.
Now, do you open your wedding images on your computer and look at them casually with your loved ones? I sure didn’t!  It’s finally time to order your wedding album!!!

Every year my husband and I bring out our album on our anniversary and relive the fabulous day. Our kids are so interested in all the details and love seeing pictures of their family before they were born. Yes, wedding albums are important! It’s the last step in completing your wedding journey. Let’s create it together so your most special day will have a physical representation in the real world, not just on a computer screen. Something that can be passed down through the generations.

Maui Wedding AlbumMany couples nowadays are looking into printing albums on their own through more everyday printing companies. You invested a lot of time, love, and energy into your wedding. The same love and quality should be represented in your wedding album. The album printing company I use has 100+ years of archival printing that guarantees quality, calibrated prints, and top-of-the-line materials that won’t fall apart over time.

How the Design and Order Process Works:
If I’ve had the pleasure of photographing your wedding (THANK YOU SO MUCH!! Miss you guys!), send me an email, call, or DM me. Tell me what size you’d like (I recommend 10×10), and I’ll predesign a select set of images from your day. Once it’s ready, we can schedule a video call for your design consult. You can make any changes live while we go over your album design together online. It usually takes about an hour. You have the option to take out individual photos, add photos, swap layouts, etc. Cover options include full-page images, a cameo cover, or your names engraved on linen or leather. There are a lot of font options as well. We’ll make sure you love the final design before it gets sent off to print. So easy!!

Kylene, Ryan and their sweet puppy Spaghetti Von Pickles, make a fabulous little family. Katherine Day from Island Girl Pin Ups made sure Kylene looked fabulous. The floral genius Angela DeCoite from Rivermoon Botanicals decorated our styled shoot with her wondrous blossoms. Tamara Catz designed the beautiful breezy gowns. The super stylish boutique Lele by Adenlina Mare handmade the jewelry and the bohemian stools. Our cute couple owns the vintage 1975 VW bus. It has been on Maui it’s whole life and provides Kylene and Ryan a sweet escape to the beach.

Marika and Joey got married on beautiful Maui with all their friends and family enjoying the celebration. Sugar Beach Villa on Maui’s south shore was the gorgeous location for the festivities. Palm trees, beach breezes and small waves set the stage for their special day.

Marika readied in the bridal suite with her best friends dressed in tropical palm leaf dresses, while drinking Veuve. The gentlemen wore Tommy Bahama. It fit the weather perfectly.

“Joey and I met through mutual friends. My best friend from college went to high school with him in San Francisco. After college I moved to San Francisco and lived with my 2 best friends and he moved to San Francisco with 3 of his good guy friends. Our houses basically spent every weekend together, shared dinners and birthdays and eventually one thing lead to another! ”

 

“I work for a public relations firm representing technology companies (Amazon, Facebook, Intuit). Joey has 10 years of hospitality experience previously working for the Ritz-Carlton, and more recently a boutique hotel in Malibu. Just recently Joey has switched career paths a bit and is now the Estate Manager for a family here in the Bay Area.”

 

 

Marika wore a flower crown and the ceremony arch was adorned with tropical flowers, tuberose and proteas that smelled divine. My other career goal was to be a wedding florist! It was when I was 10, but it actually is a very attractive option to me still!

The ceremony was sweet, fun and heartfelt. Guests were welcomed to the party with hors d oeuvres and cocktails to enjoy the sunset.

The best men were a blast to listen to as they took turns telling fun stories of Marika and Joey. Their friends sang them a gorgeous song as a surprise after the toasts. A dessert table delighted the guests along with traditional Hawaiian style ice cream. They danced the night away and enjoyed the bright starry night. It was a beautiful night to remember.

salerno0002Tabitha and William celebrated their 5 year anniversary Maui style. On a windy day with big swell we explored Baldwin Beach park on Maui. The sea spray lit the background in a hazy, salty sort of way. Fall is beautiful here on Maui. Lots of rainbows, sprinkles and an excited ocean. Tabitha and William, happy 5th! salerno0004salerno0003Natalie Brown Photographysalerno0005salerno0006salerno0007salerno0008salerno0009salerno0010salerno0011salerno0012salerno0013salerno0014salerno0015salerno0016salerno0017salerno0018
