Destination: Hawaii Honolulu

E-mail Ari to Document Your Wedding. 

 

Hi everyone! My girlfriend and I are planing to take a vacation in Hawaii this upcoming March an would appreciate any tips or recommendations you might have for us. This will be our first time on the famous island ever so we’re very excited about this trip. At the same time, I’m also overwhelmed by all the things we can do there! It would be awesome if you can help us come up with a list of the top activities to do while in Hawaii. We’re planing to stay in the Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa in Honolulu. It’s going to be a total of five days of exploration on the island, so any advice or tips to fill up our itinerary would be very helpful. Thank you friends!

P.S- I would love to hang out with you photographers in Hawaii. Would any wedding photographers in Honolulu like to grab a bite  or hang out while we’re there? Hit us up!

Why: I’m holding this workshop for the people who are interested in improving their photography skills. I’ve been getting tons of request from people who just got a new SLR camera and don’t know how to use it. I will be teaching you the basics about your camera and how you can utilize the different modes on your camera to take great photos.

I will help you:

* Be in control of your camera by shooting in manual mode

* Understand exposure and how to control it

* Improve your compositions

* Understand light and the different types of light and how you can control it to improve your photos.

* How I edit my photos and process them on Lightroom and Photoshop.

*We will go out to shot and there will be an actual couple there to model for us.

How: The cost of admission is only a donation of at least $50 to the charity of your choice. All you have to do is show me proof of your donation. You will also have to give me a fully refundable deposit of $50. The full $50 will be retured to you at the workshop. This is to let me know that you are serious about coming to learn. If you do not show up, your money will go into my piggy bank.

Photographers of all skill level are welcomed and I will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have, but the material I’ll be covering will be focused on the basis. In order to be effective, I will be limiting this workshop to only 15 participants. Hope to see you there!

My friends Henry and Philina came down from San Jose to Pismo Beach to go ATV’ing with me. We ended up walking around Pismo Beach and I snapped this photo of them with my iPhone 4s. I’m blown away by how far camera phones have come.

A while ago I went down to San Francisco to second shoot a Pakistani wedding for an amazing photographer named Cliff Brunk. I was able to help Cliff shoot two of a three days Pakistani wedding. I love the energy and all elaborate decorations of Pakistani weddings. There were so many things and great moments to photograph. Here are a few of my frames, but be sure to check out the amazing stuff that Cliff got on his blog HERE.
