Victoria turns ONE!

I was so happy to spend the afternoon at Lanikai beach with these two lovely ladies, Barbara and Victoria!  Barbara has been a long time friend that moved away from Hawaii a few years ago, and it was so much fun to reconnect and meet her beautiful little girl for the first time.  Victoria just turned one, so it was the perfect excuse to go take some portraits on the beach.  Love you girls, and happy first birthday beautiful baby girl!

Carmen + Kurt

Carmen and Kurt had a beautiful and intimate beach ceremony on the North Shore, and I had the privilege of joining them to document their special day.  The evening light was so dreamy and made for the perfect backdrop.  Congratulations guys!

Danika + Robert

Jessica and I had the opportunity to hang out with this fun couple, Danika and Robert, and shoot their beautiful Sunset Ranch wedding on the North Shore.  Wow, what a gorgeous setting, and what a great couple!  They and so much fun with their special day, from partying it up with dance moves after they said "I do," to an unforgettable first dance, complete with Dirty Dancing moves.  Thanks guys for having us be apart of your special day, and enjoy these sneak peeks!

Jackie + Mustapha

This sweet couple and I got to meet up at the beautiful Male'ana Gardens in Kailua where they were staying while vacationing, and do a fun portrait session.  They were so cute together, and you can just tell that they were relaxed and having a blast on their vacation!  We also got to head over to Lanikai beach to capture the essence of Hawaii at the beach.  Enjoy these memories guys!

Stefanie + Roger

This couple has come to hold a special place in my heart, as I have followed them with photography through their maternity session (see here), their son's newborn photos (see here), and now their wedding ceremony on Secret Island at Moli'i Gardens.  It was a perfectly cool evening as this couple proclaimed their love and commitment to each other in front of their closest family and friends.  As you can see in their photos, their love for each other and their growing family is so deep!  Congratulations Stefanie and Buck!

Elise + Michael

Jerome and I had the best time on Maui last weekend shooting Elise and Michael's stunning beachside wedding at the Olowalu Plantation House.  The Maui coastline was just breathtaking with views of Lanai and Molokai just a few miles away, the the sunset was spectacular and subtle.  These two lovebirds had a great day celebrating with the family and friends and partying well into the night… and they know how to party it up!  Thank you so much guys, for having us join you for your special day!

The Landry Family

Colors, colors, colors!  The Landry family and I got to spend a beautiful afternoon at Waimanalo beach, and were blown away by the bright vibrant colors!  I had the privilege of taking their maternity photos a few months ago (view here), so it was so great to be able to reconnect with them, and meet their darling baby girl, Marlina, before their move next month.  The islands will miss you guys as you begin this next adventure in life on the mainland.  A hui hou!

Alana + Makaio

I absolutely loved shooting Alana and Makaio's intimate ceremony at Foster Botanical Gardens.  We started the morning with a fun photos session at Magic Island at Ala Moana, and then traveled the short distance to meet their family and friends at the garden.  The setting was so tranquil, and just stunning in the morning light!  The party continued with an amazing brunch at the Kahala Mandarin's "Hoku" restaurant.  Congratulations again guys, and thanks for having me be a part of your big day!

Jodie + Jason

Jodie and Jason had a beautiful wedding ceremony at Haiku Gardens, surrounded but the lush tropical forrest at the foot of the Ko'olaus.  Their love for each other was just radiant that day, and I loved being there to capture some special memories for the two of them!  Their party continued into the night at the Hale Koa hotel in Waikiki, surrounded by their friend and family.  Congratulations guys, and I wish many blessings on your marriage!

Michelle + James

Michelle and James were married at the lovely UH campus, and we had a blast taking some pre-ceremony photos at the stunning and lush East-West center garden.  Their party continued at the Hale Koa's Kalia Ballroom with a gorgeous pink backdrop designed by the Les Saisons company… wow, it made the whole room pop!  Congratulations Michelle and James; your day was a wonderful celebration!
