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

Molleigh + Aleah

Had fun this morning with my BFF Rebekah Pope, photographing her daughter Aleah, and Aleah's BFF Molleigh. We took the girls down to Edgehill Village and had a great time. Aleah has the most gorgeous eyes and lips! And Molleigh has such pretty eyes and a great smile. Makes me miss my daughter--and favorite model-- even more. Had some fun with vintage processing and textures on a few of these.

Julee + Aron {TTD Preview}

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

What can I say about this TTD session that is not already 'said' by their photographs below. Except that perhaps Aron was not aware at first just how much trashing would be taking place. ;o) But towards the end of the session at the beach he was so into Julee and vice versa all I had to do was compose and click. Yep....gotta like it like that.

Cheers!

Andrea + Jordan {Sneak Preview}

When: June 2009
Where: Oahu, Hawaii
What: A Delightful Hawaii Wedding

Andrea contacted me about photographing her wedding a while ago after she saw my work from Christine & Jonah's wedding which she attended last year. And when she told me that her reception was at the Waikiki Aquarium the 'ol gears in my head started turning thinking of all the fun and romantic photographs I could get of her and Jordan.

From the 'getting ready' shots at The Lotus (which is an absolutely fantastic hotel) to the reception at the Waikiki Aquarium, the whole experience of photographing their wedding was just plain awesome. One thing that really stood out for me from that day was that Andrea had some of the nicest and most thoughtful bridesmaids a gal could have. They did such a great job of taking care of her so she could enjoy her day with family and friends. (I should add though that the same could be said about the guys as well). Yep - it t'was all good and I'm sure both Andrea and Jordan are thankful for such terrific friends.
