Father/Daughter First Look
Such a sweet moment between dad and daughter before they walk down the aisle together!
Wedding Party Photos
So many combinations can be done with your wedding party! Bride and her bridesmaids, groom and his groomsmen, everyone together, and even the bride and the groomsmen and groom and the bridesmaids make for fun photos!
Bride & Groom Portraits
Taking these photos before your wedding is a way to allow you to have more time to enjoy cocktail hour or to take other photos at that time! It’s also an opportunity to have an intimate moment with your spouse prior to your ceremony and to take photos with your makeup before the tears and weather may affect it!

Post-Ceremony
After officially tying the knot in front of your family & friends there are a few photos that you can take prior to your reception!
Group Photo
A perfect time to capture a photo of all of your guests is right after the ceremony, your coordinator and photographer can gather everyone together for one amazing shot!

Beach/Sunset Photos
Depending on the time of the sunset on your wedding day this may be something that you can capture prior to your reception! If not, beach photos still make for the most dreamy Hawaii wedding shots!
Reception
During your reception, the majority of your photos will most likely be candid photos that capture all of the festivities happening in the ballroom. However one planned photo idea that you can do to capture pictures with each of your guests, are table shots!
Table shots
Guests can take a photo with the bride and groom at the dance floor during the dinner portion of the reception.
These are just a few photos that you could include on your wedding to capture your picture perfect day! :-)
