Maui Wedding Packages:
Tips for Choosing a Quality Photographer, Minister and Florist
Choosing amongst Maui wedding packages from different Maui wedding professionals can be an extremely difficult process made much easier by remembering the core elements to any successful Maui wedding package. The three most important elements to any Maui wedding package are: an excellent wedding photographer, wedding minister and the best wedding florist.
I recommend using a professional local Maui wedding photographer for any photography work on the island. Local photographers understand the lighting in Maui and have vast knowledge of the many amazing locations available for shooting. Local Maui wedding photographer, Karma Hill, of Good Karma Photography says: “ I have seen photos from weddings where the bride and groom have brought in their own wedding photographer from wherever they live and the results have been less than extraordinary. Knowing how to take photos in the harsh lighting of Maui takes years of study and practice to master. Most often special equipment is needed to compensate for extreme lighting situations and this process can not be learned in one day by a photographer coming to Maui for a destination wedding shoot.” Karma specializes in working on Maui beaches and capturing amazing images with her vast knowledge of the local conditions.
You must remember that you only have one wedding day, choose wedding packages based on the photographer first. Using a photographer that lives in the local area with an amazing portfolio will ensure you get amazing wedding photography you will be proud to show friends and family forever.
Choosing a Maui Wedding Minister
A large part of all Maui wedding packages is choosing an experienced, courteous, respectful and fun Maui Minister. Having the right minister sets the tone and the look of your special day and will be part of your wedding day in memories and photos for the rest of your life.

Choosing a Maui Wedding Photographer
Hiring a photographer that captures you and your loved ones in a way that displays your emotions and the beautiful setting of the island is paramount and should be the foundation of all wedding packages considered. Photographing your amazing wedding day is a key element that is going to immortalize your wedding day in photos for all of time. Cutting cost from photography is one of the biggest mistakes made by people having a wedding. Inexperienced or non-local photographers often don't have the knowledge to work in Maui’s challenging lighting It is a complete tragedy to have your wedding photos end up with dark or even worse, over exposed photos of your once in a life time event.
To ensure you get the best Maui wedding minister choose someone highly recommended from another wedding professional. The referring source will usually only recommend someone from a wedding they were proud to be a part of. Also make sure they have an online profile about themselves, either on a Maui wedding packages site or a personal site to ensure your wedding is not their first. Many local Maui ministers will incorporate the specialness of the Hawaiian culture into your wedding ceremony. Reverend Tino Rosete is a minister based in Maui Hawaii and he adds special touches to his ceremonies such as blowing the conch shell at the start and end of each ceremony to get blessings from Akua (god). He also incorporates the exchanging of flower leis to signify the never-ending love of the couple.
Maui wedding florists not only make arrangements, but create works of art with flowers. Incorporating the beautiful flowers found throughout the islands can really distinguish your photos as being taken on a beach in Maui rather than a different location throughout the world. Local Maui florist Della Peacock of Dellables Floral uses Orchids, ferns and organic material to create works of art. Her Bouquets are specifically designed to represent the island and have names like “Grass Shack Bouquet” and “white sands bouquet”. She also creates flower circles on the beach for the couple to get married in and is skilled at creating custom arch and table decorations as well.
The best advice I can give about any Maui wedding package is do your research. A website is supposed to represent a vendor's best work. If you don't like what you see there, how can you take the gamble that the work you receive will be any better? Since you are looking for Maui wedding packages from thousands of miles away, take each website at face value. Take the website content as an exact representation of the quality of work you will receive. If a vendor doesn't have the skills and dedication to create an esthetically pleasing Maui wedding packages website, I would not put faith in their abilities to conduct one of the most important days of your life. There are many packages to choose form, be sure to find a company that fits your personal style.
