Aloha and Welcome to my new Blog. I have had some incredible experiences photographing over the past few years and I needed a new blog to showcase all of my new images. I have been in Hawaii now for the past 5 years after living in Montana, Washington, and New Mexico. In addition to photography, my passion is to travel. I love to photograph different places, people, and cultures and hopefully I will be sharing all of my upcoming adventures right here.
I have had the pleasure of working with some amazing clients and vendors over the past few years, and I will always give a shout out to them as well.
Just before I left Montana, I had the chance to photograph the gorgeous Hoover girls. Brynn, Avery, and Emersyn have so much energy and we had a great time. The light was perfect and these are some of my favorite pictures from the day.
I didn’t get a chance to post on Memorial Day since I was traveling, but here is my official entry for Jennifer and David. They are both in the Air Force and originally planned to get married in Hawaii, until David became eligible for a transfer. Knowing that they couldn’t risk being separated, they married in California and ended up coming to Hawaii on their honeymoon instead. I had an amazing time photographing them as we took a photo tour of the North Shore. We even had a chance to borrow a couple of bikes from a passing couple and got some of my favorite images of the day. Thanks to Jennifer and David for your service, and of coarse for being so adorable.
Kara and Bryan are one of those couples who make you believe that there is a perfect person for everyone. All you need to do is take one look at them together and realize that they are incredibly happy and completely in love. Surrounded by family, friends, and lots of happy tears, they were married at the gorgeous Kualoa Ranch. All day long and everywhere I looked, I was reminded how much love was at the wedding. Thanks so much to Kara and Bryan for reminding me how blessed l am for doing what I love.
Kara and Bryan had such a sweet moment while we were taking the portraits, and they both started to cry.
I love this picture, you can just see the love in her eyes.
They are such a talented couple. Kara did a beautiful hula for Bryan.
Bryan wrote and sang an amazing song for Kara.
While in New Zealand a few weeks ago, I had the chance to photograph Natacha and Gareth who were just married the week before. We did the shoot on the edge of Auckland harbor on a volcanic headland called North Head. The spot was amazing, with a series of military tunnels, bunkers, and a great view of the harbor. Thanks Natacha for the great recommendation!
I feel like this shoot was one of those perfect days, with a great location, a great couple and great lighting.
This shoot marked the last day of a really amazing trip, I can’t wait to go back!
Jamie and Keith were married at the Hale Koa Hotel a couple of weeks ago. They were such a great couple to work with, thanks Jamie and Keith for the great day and I can’t wait for the upcoming trash the dress shoot.
As a wedding gift, Jamie gave Keith a pair of Jordans that had his initials and the wedding date embroidered on them. Great way to remember the anniversary!
Here are a few pictures from their first look. I love this series.
The ring bearer…so cute.
Sheri and Ben were married at the Haiku Mill on Maui, which I have been dying to shoot at for a while now. The site is amazing and one of my favorite locations of all time. It has such a unique feel to it, from the whitewashed bridal suite to the vine covered stone walls.
The next day we did a little Trash the Dress shoot in the pineapple fields. There are so many beautiful locations around the island, that we had to take advantage.
I recently had a boudoir session with these gorgeous ladies. We had such a fun time shooting and everyone had a chance to be model and art director. We ended up making a book of the images as a gift to their future husbands. Here are a few of my favorite images.
Christine and Jay were an amazing couple to photograph. They both have such open and welcoming personalities that by the end of the night I felt like family. Thank you so much for including me in your wedding day, it was so much fun to be a part of. This was my first trip to the Sugarman Estate on Maui and it is a gorgeous location, I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a very private outdoor location. And thanks to the design talents of Evonne Wong, with Events by Evonne it was a spectacular day.
The next morning we did a Trash the Dress session in the Sugar Cane fields and here are a few of the images.
Britta and Kevin had one of the most memorable weddings I can remember. Unfortunately one of the reasons was because three days before the wedding Britta broke her kneecap. That’s right, broke her kneecap. I’m sure this is one of those things that brides have nightmares and panic attacks about. She was in a huge leg brace and had to be on crutches part of the day, but didn’t let it ruin the celebration. Incredibly, despite the pain she must have been in, she was one of the most beautiful and sweet brides that I have worked with.
Britta is one of those brides that make you realize that the important thing about the day is the sentiment and the feeling of it all. She had such an amazing attitude and did not once complain about anything, that I think she deserves the Bride of the Year Award, if there is one. With wedding coordination from Blue Sky Productions and Yvonne Floral’s creative designs, the entire event was stylish and beautiful, down to the last detail.
Britta’s parents decorated her crutches to give them a little style.
I love this picture, Kevin carried her the rest of the way down the aisle to the ceremony.
Britta even did the first dance, while pivoting around on one leg. I couldn’t believe there was a giant leg brace under this dress.
