Destination Wedding

This week’s images is from a very recent wedding (well vow renewal actually). Marie + Cedric were married 10 years ago in Montreal and they are just as much in love today as when they were first married. Marie had mentioned that she had become pregnant as they were planning their wedding and didn’t really […]

Be a Poser.

Wedding Photography

We start our series of posing tips that you can watch and practice before your big day. I’ve noticed that my couples are super nervous because they’ve never had professional images taken before (except the cheesy high school senior portrait). With that said I tease my couples and tell them that I make them work […]

I just love this moment between Danyo + Jaisa. They’re high school sweet hearts and haven’t been separated since. I can not wait to be a part of their wedding day in a couple of months!

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 […]

Hawaii Wedding Traditions ~Exchange of Lei

wedding traditions

The exchanging of the leis is a popular tradition in Hawaiian culture. Giving someone a lei symbolizes the love and affection you have for them.  As a Hawaii wedding photographer, I’ve seen this tradition many times and it is always a very memorable experience. There are all kinds of leis and different symbolism between the […]

When Brittney had mentioned that she was having her Hawaii wedding up on the North Shore of Oahu at Dillingham Ranch, I just was hoping that she’d book me (which she did 😉 ). If you’ve been reading my blog regularly, you know how much I LOVE it up there!!! The ranch itself is available […]

Wedding Photography

The Groom… I love portrait time. It’s when the creativity flows and these are the images that you’ll want to have forever. I know that the guys dislike having their picture taken (more so than me) and so when it’s time for portrait session I usually joke around with them to get them to relax a […]

Destination Hawaii Wedding ~ Waikiki

Wedding Photography

There are few places to get hitch on the beautiful shore of Waikiki believe it or not. One of them is Duke’s beach behind the Hilton Hawaiian Village. It doesn’t seem like the likely spot to get married with it’s parking lot, large buildings in the background and small beach but, it has one of […]

Hawaii Wedding Photographer ~ The Engagement Session

Wedding Photography

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 […]

Honolulu Wedding Photographer ~ Picture of the Week

arrow

Wedding Photography

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”. It’s that one epic image that to me defines the day. Carla + Ian were up just for that this fine day at the famed Waimea Bay beach. […]

Let's make magic together.
