\u00a0Bryant and Helen’s Wedding in Paradise<\/span><\/h1>\n

Most of the destination weddings that I plan are very small get-togethers on the beach. \u00a0I would say about 70% of the time, it’s just the bride and the groom. \u00a0Then about 20% of the time they have their parents around, and maybe a handful of friends. \u00a0 Then there is the top 10% of my couples who have abut 20 or so plus people who happen to join in on the fun. \u00a0There is no extra cost for more guest. \u00a0It all just comes down to finding the right beach, with the right amount of free parking.<\/p>\n

Luckily, parking was not an issue for Bryant and Helen as they, as with most of their guest, were staying on the property of Ko olina.<\/p>\n

\"hb-ceremony-1<\/a>Ko Olina is a great place to get married. \u00a0It’s seclusion factor has been fading ever since the Disney Hotel opened.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"h-and-b-oahu-wedding-6<\/a>And the rings go on!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"h-and-b-oahu-wedding-5<\/a>One of my favorite shots to do is an over-the-shoulder-shot of the bride, with her bridesmaids or parents looking on in the background.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\"h-and-b-oahu-wedding-3<\/a>Is it just me, or does the bestman look more nervous than the groom..haha<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"redo-helen-1<\/a>Parents looking on<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"bryant-and-helen-wedding-7<\/a>This is the second kiss after they were pronounced husband and wife<\/strong><\/p>\n

I had met with Bryant and Helen a few days before their wedding to coordinate their precessional and to see what mother nature had in store for us. \u00a0I wasn’t really worried about the weather on the day of their wedding, but for the fact that a monk seal had been popping up on the beach in recent days. \u00a0 When the monk seals pop up, those environmental people show up and cause a lot of havoc, including overstepping their boundaries and closing down large portions of the beach. \u00a0For small weddings at Ko olina, it’s not a problem. \u00a0You simply walk around the monk seal to the far end of the beach. \u00a0For large parties, that’s a little more complicated as you don’t want everyone to walk around to the far end of the beach.<\/p>\n

As luck would have it, the monk seal did not pop onto the beach. \u00a0In fact, the beach was very empty! \u00a0 \u00a0If the monk seal would have beached itself, we would have had the weddings in a small sandy area near the entrance that looked great as well.<\/p>\n

\"h-and-b-oahu-wedding-1<\/a>Bryant was not the smiling type of groom for pictures. \u00a0Most are not.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"bryant-and-helen-wedding-1<\/a>Looking good Helen<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"bryant-and-helen-wedding-2<\/a>I love this shot. \u00a0Shooting straight into the sun<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"bryant-and-helen-wedding-3<\/a>This shot is done pretty much in the same fashion above where I’m shooting from an up angle, and the couple is leaning over my camera.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"bryant-and-helen-wedding-4<\/a>Many couples want shots like this. \u00a0Lava rock, ocean, palm trees, blue skies. \u00a0Ko Olina is probably one of the few places where I can accomplish this.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"helen-3<\/a>If you’re wondering why this picture looks a little less warm, a little different than the rest, it’s because it is. \u00a0This is a digital shot. \u00a0Film has a tendency to look warm, without looking over processed. \u00a0You can only tell the difference when you have the pictures side-by-side.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"helen-2<\/a>Another digital shot! \u00a0 See, digital isn’t bad. \u00a0I bet you’re used to the color difference already!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"hb-group-2<\/a>Another digital shot. \u00a0 All group shots are done on digital. \u00a0The special shots, if you pay for it, are shot on film (unless a special circumstance pops up where I need to know exactly where the lighting is going)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"helen-4<\/a>I like this shot. \u00a0This is taken on digital.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"flm-1<\/a>This is film. \u00a0 Which do you prefer?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bryant and Helen also purchased video coverage for their ceremony and the 3 camera upgrade to it.<\/p>\n
