Julee + Aron {sneak preview}

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

Julee and Aron (who are from Southern CA) are not your ordinary couple, thus it is no surprise they elected to have a not-so-ordinary wedding! With the help of Katy Castillo as their wedding coordinator, they arranged to have their wedding aboard a catamaran off the coast of Waikiki.

While sailing along the coast, the wedding couple and guests were treated to a light rain blessing, a rainbow, and sea turtles swimming next to the boat. It definitely was an experience that will be remembered by them and their guests for many moons to come.

Julee and Aron decided to have a 'Day After' session so keep your eyes peeled for a few of those photographs to be posted soon also...

Wedding Coordination: Katy Castillo Weddings
Minister: Rev. Greg Christopherson

Cheers!

Talia + Darren {encore!}

I know, it's been a while since my last post - but it's been a busy month and to top it all off I spent last week trying to get over a head cold and ear infection. Eck! (BTW you should try standing straight on a catamaran photographing a wedding with an antihistamine in your system...and folks thought I was a klutz beforehand!).

Anyhows....I'm slowing catching back up and wanted to share some more photos from Talia and Darren's wedding. This destination wedding is definitely one of my all time favs for lots of reasons, the least not being the kindness of both Talia and Darren but also their friends and family. It was also a fun wedding because they included loads of personal touches.

For example....after having a gander at their photos I'm sure some of you are wondering what's up with the white paper crowns? Well apparently in England they celebrate Christmas (and now weddings) with party poppers (aka English crackers), which are pictured below before being 'popped'. For weddings the 'prize' inside includes the paper crown (which you must wear I'm assuming for luck?) and a gold angel knick knack. Even yours truly was corralled into wearing one of these crowns, and was generously included in the festivities. :o)

Just who could resist this face? Little Emmy looks so Irish with her reddish curls and her green eyes. How stinkin' cute is she?

Zelda + Chad {Sneak Preview}

When: June 2009
Where: Oahu, Hawaii
What: lifestyle portrait photography

Zelda had contacted me about having a lifestyle portrait session with her and her boyfriend, Chad, as a treat to themselves (they have been working out and wanted to show off their hard work!). When I met her for our in-person consult she was one tough cookie, but in a good way. She asked me all sorts of questions, and I was happy she did because I could tell that she saw her portraits as an important investment. *Yay*

We were blessed with sunny skies and terrific lighting the day of the photoshoot. Besides the awesome weather, Chad and Zelda's carefree attitude made my job oh-so easy! They were a blast to photograph, and I have never seen anyone do wardrobe changes as fast as Zelda. ;o)

Cheers!

When: May 2009
Where: Oahu, Hawaii
What: lifestyle portrait photography

As mentioned in the previous post - Justin's parents and brother joined in on the fun and had some family portraits taken as well. It was a such pleasure to talk with and photograph them, and there were more than a few times they had me chuckling. So without further ado....here are a few teasers.

Cheers!

P.S. Justin and Kathy definitely win the jumping contest, with a close second by Justin's dad. :o)

If you wondered why I haven't gotten back to everyone...

I've been in Ireland! I had a fantastic time, fell in love with Ireland, and can't wait to go back. I took nearly 2,000 photographs, so there's no way I can share them all. But here's a bunch--I hope you enjoy them! If you have any questions about any of them, just leave a comment and I will respond.

Now, I am trying to get caught up on everything in my voicemail and my email while I was gone. For some reason, my iphone would NOT work over there, and I couldn't get to my phone, email, or voicemail the entire time I was gone. Please be patient, and I will get back to you.
