Tips for Your Wedding Day! | Hawaii Wedding Photographer

Weddings are hard work and sometimes, the small details can get lost in the crowd of things to do! But fear not, this ain’t my first rodeo! I’m sharing with you a list I send all of my brides before their wedding, to help remind them that sometimes, the small things can count too!!

1. Have a custom hanger!

You don’t want your dress commemorated by a plastic hanger! Come ON! I will take pictures of your dress and if you only have the plastic hanger, that’s what you’ll see every time you look at your images. Boo:(

Instead, head on over to Etsy’s Hanger Shop and get yourself a nice one!! How cute is this?!?

2. Eyelash Glue!

Your makeup artist should give you some, but have some on standby just in case. I personally have experience with a fake eyelash coming off and so do some of my brides. Be prepared and ready!

3. Wear something nice!

So many brides wear loose crappy shirts while getting their hair and makeup done, but remember: these images are with you for forever. Wear something nice silly! Here is a great custom shirt you can have! Here!

4. Assign someone to help out the photographer!

I hate bothering the bride on the day of, pestering her for details like the rings, shoes, important things like bracelets, etc. The best choice is the Maid of Honor, so make sure you give your photographer the name of who you’re assigning to help out. This makes everything go smoother!

5. Drink lots of water!

Water is super important and on the day of your wedding, you’re going to make sure a) your skin looks amazing b) you aren’t dizzy! So at least three days prior, drink TONS of water! It’ll help, I promise!!

All of these should help you create a wonderful, flawless day! And because blogs are better with pictures…

     

Best Thing Ever! | Oahu Wedding Photographer

I love goats. This isn’t a very widely known fact, as so few saw me care for them years ago at a ranch in Texas, but I do. They’re friendly, smart and their mouths are ADORABLE and their eyeballs and the noise they make.

So here is a tribute to goats.

It isn’t wedding, photography or even Friday related. But I laughed my ass off at these videos!

     

Published! | Hawaii Wedding Photographer

Okay, I know I’ve been terrible with blogging this week. I’ve just been so busy!!! I just got back from Maui doing a beautiful wedding. The couple met on a safari in Africa, fell and love and just tied the knot! So I spent yesterday with some fantastically fun Aussies, the great Kristen Booth and even got to practice some fun techniques! I’m exhausted but eager to finish up my week tomorrow with meetings with two brides! Fingers crossed they realize that their wedding wouldn’t be the same without me!:)

I’ll talk to you soon lovelies!!
