I met Danyo + Jaisa a few years when I first moved to Hawaii. I sold them a power adapter off of Craig’s List and never thought about it. Until a few years later when I ran into Danyo again…On a boat. No, really! We’re on a catamaran off Waikiki and he come up […]

We met up with Erin + Landon up at a few of my favorite spots on the North Shore of Oahu. They mentioned at their initial consultation that they had wanted to do something different for their engagement photos. Offering some suggestions, I asked them if they had any hobbies or activities that they like […]

Boy meets girl, they fall in love and boys job relocates them to Hawaii. Not a bad deal at all. We met up with them over in Waimanalo Beach where the sand is white and the ocean color is always a fabulous azure. I love Waimanalo also because it has forrest and ocean within a […]

The engagement session is a great way for couple and photographer to get to know each other. I always joke that I make my couples work for their images but, in a way it’s true. When planning out the sessions, most people don’t know what to expect because they’ve never had professional photographs. Probably the […]

When I met Maureen at our initial consultation, we started to discuss pre-wedding photographs aka the engagement shoot. She asked if I would be open to photographing her nine year puppy Sadie. She’s a cancer survivor and not sure how much time she has left. Of course I obliged and super stoked to have done […]

I can’t believe how far behind I am on posting recent shoots! I loved photographing Nicolle and Brock for their engagement session up on the North Shore. They wanted bring their boys and make an evening out of it. The thing about going up to the North Shore is that I find that people who […]

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

Next to your wedding location, picking an engagement photo spot is just as important. These photos are a fun way to capture the personalities of you and your honey before the wedding. It’s also a great way to work with and get to know your wedding photographer before the big day. From my experience, the […]

When I first met Amber, I just knew I had to photograph her one day. We quickly became friends through a photographer’s group here on Oahu and I think it’s because we not only have a passion for photography but, also the gift of gab!
