Blue Hawaii

ALOOOOOOOHA!
Kim and Ken brought me to Kauai last weekend for an amazing experience! The ceremony took place at the very location of Elvis's Blue Hawaii. It was so beautiful, so unique and so much fun! On top of that, Kim and Ken planned lot's of times for photos. They had all sorts of ideas and we had plenty of time to get some gorgeous and artistic images. Thanks Kim and Ken and CONGRATULATIONS!

Lisa & Jon's Engagement

Finally, the holidays have passed and I am catching up on all my work! Back before all the Christmas craziness I met up with Lisa and Jon on the North Shore for a fantastic engagement session. These guys were naturals! The hardest part of this shoot was choosing which ones to display here!

Megan & Chris

A lovely wedding on Kauai, fantastic people and wow, what a sunset! What more could anyone ask for? How about a new album design...

Ashley & Erik

At long last I am updating my blog! Starting with the beautiful pictures of Ashley and Erik from their Veteran's Day wedding at Koolau Ballroom. What a fun day! Beautiful weather, a gorgeous bride, crying parents, adorable children, a whole lot of glass clinking, and to top it all off... a stunning impromptu rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody by the wedding party. Thanks guys, what a fun day!!!

My Turn to be the Bride!

That's right...no longer am I just the wedding photographer, I'm a future bride too!

It was my birthday and we were in the middle of the Pacific ocean on a fishing diving trip with friends. Everyone sat and watched a gorgeous sunset. Then Gabe asks for everyones attention, turns to me and asks me to spend the rest of his life with him! I was so surprised! I was laughing and crying and shaking, but I finally managed to say yes. Then it took about 15 more minutes until I could breath!

So I'm engaged! All of you brides out there feel free to send your advice for the big day!

Here's a couple of shots that friends took...




Gabe has his own take on the event plus some other highlights from the amazing trip on his blog... http://kaimanadivers.blogspot.com/

Masami and Isaac!

Masami and Isaac are good friends and although they didn't have an official photographer, of course I brought my gear along. And am I glad I did because A) the officiant conducting the ceremony pictured below is the love of my life, that's fun. 2) Masami and Isaac are GORGEOUS. And C) It was on a boat in the middle of the ocean! How cool! Masami's procession was actually riding on a speed boat to the larger boat where Isaac and all us guests waited. Take note that the wedding ceremony took place upon the boat where they first met :) Aaaaahh. After the good reverend used the power vested in him to pronounce them husband and wife, the happy couple hopped back into the speed boat and cruised off into the sunset together! Very cool way to get married.
