I shot this portrait in Honolulu this last weekend outside with using nothing but a reflector. I love how sometimes the most simple lighting creates some of the most beautiful pictures. As Allen Hopkins put it “F8 and be there”.
Jaynie and Derek are a super chic and hip young couple. The beautiful pair is from Los Angeles, CA and decided to tie the knot here in beautiful Hawaii, and at the Loulu Palm Estate, which is a beautiful all-inclusive wedding locale situated on the North Shore of Oahu. I had a great time shooting this young and cool couple. I have to say that this wedding was very, very fun, and it definitely shows in the photographs. Congratulations to Jaynie and Derek. Enjoy your new life adventures!
This is the song that the grooms men rolled in on, this wedding had a lot of soul.
I had an amazing time photographing this beautiful couple: Tracy and Andrew. It was really cool watching two different families from the opposite sides of the world join together into one complete family. Tracy and her family are from Canada, and Andrew and his family are from Australia. This wedding was located at the Loulu Palm Estate, located on the North Shore of Oahu, and it was a fantastic venue for a wedding ceremony and reception. They include all the amenities one could want for an amazingly beautiful wedding, including a secluded private beach. One of the perks of being a wedding photographer is that I have the opportunity to eat many different types of delicious food at beautiful receptions, and the caterer from this wedding was unbelievable. The food was amazing. Congratulations to the happy couple! And thank you for the opportunity of being apart of your wedding. It was beautiful.
I had an amazing time shooting Kerri and Mark’s wedding at the bungalows. They had such a fun group fly in from the east cost. And what a beautiful place to stay and have a wedding. You can check out their site out at www.keikibeach.com. love shooting here, the long sandy beach makes for a great back drop. I would recommend this venue to anyone. However in the winter time you do loose some of the beach from the big surf.

Aloha, I'm Mark Holladay Lee. I'm a husband, father, surfer and photographer. I didn't realize how much I would love being a professional photographer until I became a father while living in New York City. All the creative energy in that city combined with all the emotions of becoming a dad, lit up my passion with the camera. I was able to learn from some great photographers while living in the city, but my earliest learning with the art, goes back to childhood when I watched my mother work as a photographer. I remember how she crafted a darkroom in whatever house we lived in and decorated our home with pictures from our family travels. She gave me my first camera and first studio lights.
Fast forward several years and here I am living in Hawaii with my family, enjoying every minute of combining my love of people with my love of creating art. I not only photograph people with studio lights, but I photograph in the ocean, from a helicopter, at the beach, in the mountains, and other incredible locations throughout Hawaii. I may sometimes act as a fly on the wall, documenting a moment as it naturally unfolds. Other times I may be actively posing a large group of people in a formal setting. Many times I am capturing life with my family, freezing memories that bring us so much joy to look back on. I would be honored to capture your memories with artistic images that I guarantee you will be thrilled with. I look forward to meeting you!
