Schaun and Mary

Ko'olina Beach

So I thought I'd put up another wedding of mine. You know, I just thought about it. I do a lot of weddings at Ko'olina. And honestly, I still have yet to exhaust myself of photographic ideas there. Yeah, I do a lot of repeat shots like any other wedding photographer, because I know couples want those shots. But sometimes, I throw in a little things different here and there, and viola, something special happens.

I really like this shot here. It's a sunset shot. But I had Schaun and Mary face each other, and well, they ended up kissing. I added a little dutch into there, which is a fancy movie term for "tilt" and you got yourself a pretty cool shot. The complex part of this shot. We'll, the lighting from my flash, had to be balanced wtih the lighting of the background. If it was off by too much, then all you would have is a black background with a yellow dot on the horizon. Many digital cameras have a problem shooting shots like this because the background would get washed out. Again, this is why FILM, will always rule the day. Also the positoin of the sun was on purpose..... Usually on the right or left is a great idea, with that sunlight racing across the ocean to show depth of field is always cool. It gives it that postcard look

Now I don't remember much from Schaun and Mary. I remember their faces and names..., but again lately, I've been playing football, and football and memory don't mix right? But I do remember this. That Schaun really was the one who contacted me, and the one who did most of the planning. He made it very easy for Mary. Everyone say awwwwww at the same time.....

Okay, let me search through my pictures...one more before I hit the hay tonight.
