Traveling from Portland for their Hawaii Destination wedding, we finally met up with Dhina and Jacob over in Kailua. Kailua is a wonderful little area of our island where the beaches tend to be calm most of the time and the water is perfect for swimming and kayaking. It’s also where our President has been […]

Even though I’ve been photographing Hawaii Weddings for over seven years now, I still get a little nervous when I hear about a larger wedding party. I mean think about it… 20 people in a wedding party?!? OMG!!! That’s a whole lot of people to wrangle in for some photographs! Such was the case with […]

We met up with Lauren + Denny for their Hawaii Destination Wedding over at the Trump Hotel in Waikiki. It was a beautiful day in May with her ceremony on the Ivanka Trump terrace for her first look and ceremony. Lauren chose to wear a pair blue shoes and was given a special handkerchief to […]

When I get ready to photograph your Hawaii wedding, details are so important to be aware of. I send out a questionnaire for you to fill out and ask if there are any special details or circumstances I should be aware of. Maureen let me know that she and Phil were going to bring their […]

Marie had mentioned that she had become pregnant as they were planning their wedding and didn’t really […]

I’ve noticed that my couples are super nervous because they’ve never had professional images taken before (except the cheesy high school senior portrait). With that said I tease my couples and tell them that I make them work […]

I just love this moment between Danyo + Jaisa. They’re high school sweet hearts and haven’t been separated since. I can not wait to be a part of their wedding day in a couple of months!

I can’t believe that I haven’t posted this wedding yet so please accept my humble apologies! Arlene and Kendall met in college and started dating straight away. I loved that they each brought their cultures into the wedding day. Kendall’s mother helped into his traditional kimono and geta. A beautiful but simple design not to […]
