When I received the inquiry to photograph Jenna + Brads Wedding on the island of Whidbey, I couldn’t wait! Located on one of the small islands about 45 minutes north of Seattle, a beautifully landscaped venue where you can have an indoor outdoor event (without the heat of the Hawaii sun 😉 ). As all weddings […]

This week we talked about getting married on Waikiki Beach and the challenges that come with it. Although a favorite beach to marry on, the area can look less than picturesque upon your arrival.

I photograph many Destination weddings here in Honolulu. I mean come on, Hawaii is one of the most beautiful places on Earth to be. So, to me, it’s not surprising that Hawaii is one of the top destinations to get married. Most people choose to do so here right on Oahu since Oahu is known […]

Fresh back from WPPI in Las Vegas. I was reinvigorated and inspired by what I heard and what I saw. From last nights wedding, there was no real sunset as the Kona winds moved on to Oahu. Kona Winds is when the winds shift direction usually coming in from the east and the come in […]

Anyone who knows me, knows that I’m passionate about movies. I love a good story, drama and the action that a good film captures, as well as the perspectives that documentaries reveal to me. It’s really where I get a lot of my inspiration for my photography…the lighting, the drama, the action! This form of […]

I love being hired for full day coverage which includes getting ready and you just never knows what’ll happen when the guys are getting ready. Know one ever really knows what to do when we’re taking pictures.
