We start our series of posing tips that you can watch and practice before your big day.

Wedding Photography

Her vision, she told me, was in a park with lots of greenery and in downtown Honolulu to have the contrast of nature and urban living.

So with my trusty assistant Kelli to watch over traffic, we head to the middle of the road for this image.

Let's make magic together.
