I love my job as a Hawaii wedding photographer because I get to document the joining of two families together. Such was the case with Lisa and Sean.

Planning your Hawaii destination wedding is no easy task from far away especially if you’ve never been to Hawaii. Couples seek my advice as to which beaches are best. Most want to get away from the hubbub of Waikiki and I couldn’t agree more. Often asked which are my favorite beaches for weddings, I’ll also […]

When I met up with Maureen, I knew right away we’d get along straightway. She’s straight forward and a “can and will do girl”, and I just loved her warm smile and love for dogs. She had Sadie well before she and Phil became a couple and mentioned how important it was for her to […]

Aussie Boy meets Canadian Girl. They decide to marry…but where? They decided on a destination wedding in Hawaii on the famous North Shore at Loulu Palms Estate.

If you’ve been following me for a while, you know that I love the North Shore of Oahu simply that it has less people and of course the gorgeous sunsets, I recommended we head up to Ke’iki Beach. It was a beautiful day and their ceremony performed including communion. I loved the simplicity of not […]

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 […]

Last year, I had the honor to photograph Antonio Sabato jr. and his lovely bride Cheryl Moana Marie. I headed over to the “Garden Isle” of Kauai with my trusty assistant at the time, Ani. It’s funny because I have used this image in my bridal show this past January and we heard someone saying […]
