Kristen and Allen had an amazing destination wedding at the Turtle Bay resort pavilion located on the north shore of O`ahu Hawai`i.  The evening was perfect.  We were able to get some fantastic wedding pictures on the beach as well as the reef.  I also loved the arch that was made by North Shore Weddings and Flowers.  The stunning colors of the flowers were on the arch as well as the table centerpieces.  The wedding was peaceful and beautiful, congratulations Kristen and Allen!

I had an amazing time photographing Bonnie and Stockton’s wedding.  They were married on the beautiful beaches of Kailua where they had tons of family and friends there to celebrate their special day.  Bonnie and Stockton both work in the movie industry, so everything was done right, from the decor to the best lighting I have ever worked with at a reception.  After the wedding ceremony they drove to Kualoa ranch for the reception in a restorted dodge comet.  I loved meeting all of their friends and family and wish Bonnie and Stockton never ending happiness in their life together!

Morgan and Jordan were married on Mokule’ia beach on the North Shore of Oahu.  After their ceremony we drove to the west most point on Oahu, Ka’ena Point.  We arrived at the perfect time to capture the amazing light, often referred to as the golden hour.  It’s a long drive to Ka’ena point, but what a stunning sunset. 

Last March I photographed Chris and Lara’s engagement photos, you can see them here.  They gave away bottles of merlot with one of my images as the label.  The wedding venu was at the Bali Ho house on the North Show of Oahu  were they had the wedding ceremony and reception. The day of the wedding ended up being a beautiful day on the North Shore.  There was a little rain but we had a stunning Hawaiian sunset.  As a photographer you can’t ask for better lighting.  The reception was fantastic. It was catered by one of my favorite wedding planners, Milestone Events Hawaii.  I love when I arrive at a wedding and see them setting up, because I know the food is going to be amazing.  I also loved their wedding cake,  it was inspired by the surf art work of Heather Brown.   Congratulations Lara and Chris and thanks for letting me be part of your big day.

DeEtte and Scott brought their family to the North Shore of Oahu for their Hawaii wedding.  It was a beautiful evening to have a wedding on the beach.  I loved DeEtte’s wedding dress, it was simple, beautiful and elegant.  It was perfect for a beach wedding in Hawaii.    After the wedding ceremony we had time to get some fun family pictures with that last 1/2 hour of sunlight on the north shore.

Tanya and Adam were married at Sunset Ranch overlooking the North Shore of Oahu Hawaii.  This is a stunning place to host a large wedding.  The view of the sun setting was incredible, and the food and decorations were excellent.    I photographed Tanya and Adam’s engagement pictures a few months back, they even did a few underwater shots, you can see those here.  Congratulations to this beautiful couple- Tanya and Adam!

Rochelle and Ivan came all the way from Alaska to have their destination wedding in Hawaii. The day turned out to be amazing even though we had a little rain that day on the North Shore. I really enjoyed photographing Rochelle and Ivan, they had a lot of fun energy, especially when we went to trash the dress.

I have to also give a shout out to Jennifer Jones, she was Rochelle’s makeup artists and did an amazing job.

I normally don’t post weddings this quickly after the date, but Geneva is being deployed this weekend.  Just as it is clear in this photo, Geneva and Aj definitely “live for today”.  They had a beautiful wedding ceremony at Ke Iki beach, and afterwards they jumped into the oh so  inviting ocean.  It was one of those days when everything came together, the sea was calm, beach uncrowded, and the sunset was amazing.

Lindsay and Jay had a beautiful destination Hawaii beach wedding on the North Shore of Oahu.  After the ceremony we captured some shots of them together on the beach as the sun went down, and then headed to the Turtle Bay Restaurant, Ola‘s for a dinner reception where they did a traditional tea ceremony.  What a fantastic night this was for a wedding.  The couple, their family and friends, the setting, it was all stunning.
