Hola!

I'm off to the Mainland until @ Aug 10th, and will only have sporadic internet access. Feel free to give me a call though if you would like to inquire about future bookings before I return or have a question that is urgent.

Proof galleries for current weddings/portrait sessions will be updated after I get back...

Whitney + Chris {sneak preview}

When: July 2009
Where: Windward, Oahu
What: Intimate Hawaii Wedding

This wedding was a first for me - my first sunrise wedding! And I owe Mother Nature a big favor since she paused the rain that morning for a beautiful sunrise in honor of Whitney and Chris' intimate wedding.

What's one something special that I remember about their wedding? When I first arrived at the private estate Whitney's dad was rushing about putting together the last minute details on the lawn. By the smile on his face though I could tell he was nervous, but also very excited for his daughter and her special day.

More photographs from their intimate Hawaii wedding can be seen in their gallery on my Facebook page.

Cheers!

Kate + Adam {sneak preview}

When: July 2009
Where: North Shore, Oahu
What: Intimate Destination Wedding

When Kate and Adam decided to have an intimate destination wedding in Hawaii, they contacted Katy Castillo to help coordinate the details from afar. Lucky for me I was one of the vendors that she recommended!

Thanks to Mother Nature, the lighting for their sunset wedding was perfect. Kate looked absolutely gorgeous, and I loved the clean and elegant design of her dress. Of course Adam looked quite dapper in his suit as well. All I can say about their daughter is that they are probably going to be busy keeping the boys away when she grows up! (Not only is she cute, but probably one of the smartest girls her age that I have met).

Kate wanted some fun shots around Haleiwa town so we also did a more casual portrait shoot a couple days later, but you're gonna have to wait to see those. :o)

Nikki + Matthew {TTD Preview}

When: July 2009
Where: Oahu, HI
What: Trash the Dress / Day After Photo Session

As you probably already know if you stop in from time to time I very much enjoy 'Day After' photo sessions. I get the bride and groom all to myself and they are usually much more relaxed without the commitments associated with a wedding, which of course helps to make those fab photographs.

Nikki was actually sick on her wedding day (poor gal!) but luckily was fine the day of our TTD session. Matt was his usual gentleman self and we all ended up having a grand 'ol time getting soaked by the ocean. You know you gotta love the expression on their faces in the photo below when they got a surprise splash by a rogue wave. Yeppers, besides one small hiccup with a lifeguard (*shush - it's a secret*), it was a good day!

Cheers!

Nikki + Matthew {sneak preview}

When: July 2009
Where: Oahu, Hawaii
What: Intimate Hawaii Wedding

Here it is as promised - a few teaser images from Nikki & Matt's intimate wedding. I really enjoyed their engagement session and was looking forward to shooting their wedding. After all, what can be more all-American than a serviceman marrying his high school sweetheart on July 4th? I think a highlight of the day was all the friendly folks around the hotel that gave Nikki and Matt a heartfelt congrats as we walked around shooting photos. Gotta love that aloha spirit. :o)

Cheers!

P.S. They also booked a 'Day After' session so be sure to check back for a looksie at those.

Renee + Adam = plus one {sneak preview}

When: July 2009
Where: Leeward Oahu, Hawaii
What:Maternity Portrait Session

Renee and Adam are expecting their first little one very soon. And when Renee contacted me about possibly scheduling a maternity session, we ended up talking on the phone for over an hour. Well what do you expect when two doggie people start talking about their fur-babies?! I'm glad that they decided to include their 'pup', Makua, in the photo shoot. Even though he kept us on our toes and laughing with his playfulness, he is obviously an important part of their family as well. :o)

They do not know if their baby will be a boy or girl yet, but isn't the wait exciting? I think the vote was that it will be a boy, but we shall have to wait and see....

To see a few other images from Renee & Adam's maternity session, be sure to check out their gallery on my Facebook page.

Cheers!

Carrie + Stu {sneak preview}

When: June 2009
Where: Oahu, Hawaii
What: Intimate Hawaii Wedding

Carrie and Stewart (a.k.a. Stu) had booked me many many moons ago, and I was pretty excited to be photographing a wedding at Moli`i Gardens again. It is such a great location that takes advantage of Hawaii's lush greenery as opposed to it's beaches. But much to my delight they had booked the boat to take us across to the "Secret Island" and capture some beach shots as well.

What was my fav aspect about this wedding? The COLORS!! There was bright & bold color everywhere. Sometimes folks ask what helps to make beautiful wedding imagery? COLOR!! and lots of it. Be sure to check out Carrie's bouquet - yum!

vendor info:
Venue: Moli`i Gardens (Kualoa Ranch)
Catering: Indigo Restaurant

Cheers!
