I began working as a wedding and portrait photographer on Maui in 2008, with the goal of creating beautiful images for wedding couples getting married, or families vacationing together in Hawaii a reality. Since then, I’ve been honored to be a part of numerous special days in some of the most breathtaking beach wedding locations such as Kapalua Bay to Makena Beach, as well as the lush rain forests of Hana.

The white wedding gown only rose to popularity with the 1840 marriage of a young Queen Victoria. She chose a delicate white silk wedding dress, whereas previous royal weddings had featured jewels and furs and richly-colored gowns. Her choice, which wasn’t terribly unusual – just fashionable, inspired many imitators.

The wedding program is where some couples choose to remember departed loved ones. You can include a photo and short passage about a deceased friend, parent, or grandparent. For example: “On this day of happiness, we choose to remember those who are no longer with us, especially Jane Doe, mother of the bride.”

Trifold wedding programs offer plenty of space for text in a small package. The cover will typically include you and your intended’s names, the date of the wedding and possibly also the location, and possibly a picture.

While not a necessary piece of wedding stationery by any means, wedding programs add polish and flair to your wedding ceremony and give guests something to browse while they wait for the proceedings to begin.

Whether you have a religious ceremony or a civil ceremony, your wedding should reflect the values of your relationship. The right officiant for you will always take the time to understand your needs, your personalities, and your wedding day wishes so that he or she can set the proper tone.

If you have a particular religious leader in mind – e.g., the rabbi from the temple in which you grew up – ask them politely if they will perform the ceremony. Let them know that it would mean so much to you to have them preside over your wedding, but try not to be too disappointed if the rules of your faith prevent him or her from doing so.

Because your officiant will to some extent shape your wedding ceremony, it is very important that you choose an officiant with whom you are comfortable. Your wedding officiant or celebrant is the person who will preside over the actual wedding ceremony.

How do you decide how long your engagement should be? Your decision can be based on many factors: your financial situation, the demands of your jobs, your culture, and personal taste.

Engagement parties don’t have to be expensive, which is good since weddings can cost a lot! Couples who are saving for an eventual wedding should include the engagement party in their wedding budgets. Think pizza and beer, not champagne and caviar (unless you can afford it… and like caviar).

Engagement parties are a way of announcing and celebrating your engagement at the same time. How you celebrate your engagement is up to you. An engaged couple might host a small party at their apartment or ask the bride-to-be’s parents to host a more traditional engagement party.

There’s no one right way or wrong way to announce an engagement. Call your family, send a mass e-mail to friends, mail out formal engagement announcements, update your Facebook status, send out a tweet, or do all of the above!

Most brides and grooms-to-be will announce a wedding engagement to family before they tell friends, but do whatever feels comfortable. If you’re not close to your relatives, feel free to call your best girlfriend or your brother first.

take your time when choosing an engagement ring for yourself or your significant other. As tempting as it is to rush out and buy something right now, jewelry should always be chosen carefully and with thoughtful consideration. Look for good deals and good quality.

Some people use a family heirloom ring when proposing. It’s an old fashioned custom and may result in your wearing a ring that’s not what you expected, but think carefully before you ask for a new ring.

If you plan to wear your engagement ring and your wedding band together on the same finger, consider planning ahead and choosing a ring that will take a wrap wedding band. Certain stone settings may make finding a wrap or matching band difficult, so make sure your jeweler knows your intentions.

You should never assume that the cost of your engagement ring has anything at all to do with the amount of love your fiancé or fiancée feels for you. Not everyone can afford the most expensive jewelry or feels comfortable spending a lot of money on jewelry. This is one case where it’s definitely the thought that counts.
