I know that being a Hawaii Wedding photographer, people are always expecting outdoor, beach images with greenery and or big beautiful beaches but, I just can’t help myself to create a beautiful imagery of my brides whilst getting ready in hotel rooms. Wether my destination or local couples they usually wind up getting ready in […]

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 […]

Destination Wedding

This week’s images is from a very recent wedding (well vow renewal actually). Marie + Cedric were married 10 years ago in Montreal and they are just as much in love today as when they were first married. Marie had mentioned that she had become pregnant as they were planning their wedding and didn’t really […]

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 […]

Giving someone a lei symbolizes the love and affection you have for them.  As a Hawaii wedding photographer, I’ve seen this tradition many times and it is always a very memorable experience.

When Brittney had mentioned that she was having her Hawaii wedding up on the North Shore of Oahu at Dillingham Ranch, I just was hoping that she’d book me (which she did 😉 ). If you’ve been reading my blog regularly, you know how much I LOVE it up there!!! The ranch itself is available […]

Wedding Photography

The Groom… I love portrait time. It’s when the creativity flows and these are the images that you’ll want to have forever. I know that the guys dislike having their picture taken (more so than me) and so when it’s time for portrait session I usually joke around with them to get them to relax a […]

Wedding Photography

After coming back from Australia, I’m feeling a bit reinvigorated and inspired. Of course I’ll cover traditional-ish poses and coverage but, I’m always looking for “the shot”. It’s that one epic image that to me defines the day. Carla + Ian were up just for that this fine day at the famed Waimea Bay beach. […]
