Mana in Polynesian culture
In Polynesian culture (for example, Hawaiian and Maori), mana is a spiritual quality considered to have supernatural origin – a sacred impersonal force existing in the universe. Therefore to have mana is to have influence and power. This essential quality of mana is not limited to persons – governments, places and inanimate objects can possess mana. In Hawaiian, mana loa means "great power". People or objects that possess mana are accorded "respect"; because their possession of mana gives them "power",
When I am filming your special day I try to capture your 'mana', your life force on tape through your expressions and body language. A certain look, a subtle smile, a fond embrace, a simple kiss tells so much and will last forever on dvd. The video of your wedding day will allow you and your family to relive memories for generations to come. And when you forget the sound of the waves and the feel of sand under your feet watch it again and you will remember. Israel Kamakawiwo'ole says 'Last night in my dreams I saw your face again. We were there in the sun, walking hand in hand on a white sandy of Hawaii'......and 'the sound of the ocean soothes my restless soul'.
I use Israel's music and everyone seems to like 'Over the Rainbow'. I use some of Iz's and some of Louis Armstrong's versions together, and Dennis Kamakahi, and Jack Johnson, Amy Gilliom, many others, Bob Marley, 'One Love', depends. I try to see what makes you tick and fit the music. You can also bring your own cd of your favorites, 4 at the most.
I also put too many stills at the end of the video as a slide show of my favorite closeups of you, can't resist, it's my favorite part.

This is where I offer you my expertise with 'family vacation portraits' at any location of your choice on Maui. See price sheet.

Allow me to capture these moments for always, for you. aloha, Judy
