and Professional Photographer
Sandy Barker
FOUNDER OF:
Hawaii Wedding Professionals Association (now known as the Maui Wedding Association)
 When I started as a wedding consultant in Maui, I truly
felt that if I used the best professionals for every aspect of a Maui wedding,
the end result would be "the perfect wedding"! Since that time
I have been able to achieve the results I hoped for over and over. My passion
for photography and love for planning events just seemed to make it easy! |
| I am proud to say that I plan each and every wedding as
if it were my own. I love what I do and I love where I am doing it. How
many people in this world can say that? |
| Most couples that decide they want a destination wedding
have a variety of reasons for doing so. Over the years, I have asked couples
why they chose to be married away from home. Most times they were actually
planning a large wedding at home with all of their relatives and friends
and it just got out of hand. They usually give up on the idea when they
discover how expensive it is and how many problems they have with relatives
and friends that get involved in the planning. Most couples today want to
actually be able to enjoy their wedding day instead of trying to make everyone
else have a good time. This inspires them to just get away and be by themselves
or maybe take a few close family and friends with them, that they feel it
would be meaningful to. The cost of a get away wedding is
a lot less than a wedding at home and these days couples are more conservative.
They would rather put a down payment on a house than spend $30,000 to $80,000
dollars on an elaborate production that will literally just wear them out.
Then, there are the young couples that just can not afford to have a wedding
or reception for a large number of people. The destination wedding is a
good solution to a lot of problems couples have when they begin to plan
the most important and hopefully, the most meaningful day of their life.
Especially if the destination is Maui. |
