You’re engaged! You decided to marry for a Hawaii destination wedding but don’t even know where to begin… indoor ceremony? outdoor ceremony? beach ceremony? Most people when planning their Hawaii wedding, they prefer to have it on the beach. I mean why not? You’re traveling all this way! When an inquiry comes in for a destination […]

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 […]

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 […]

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.

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 […]

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 […]

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”.
