PAUL + CAITI : HAWAII ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS – NORTH SHORE OAHU

I love working with other artist, Paul is a musician and a wood worker and Caiti works in the fashion industry.  Both very talented in and out of the water.  You can see some of Paul’s wood working skills at fullerbanjo.com.  Knew this was going to be a super fun engagement shoot when Paul and Caiti  pulled out their Da Fins.  It was one of those perfect days, we had lots of sun and the sea was happy.  Look forward to photographing their wedding at Laulu Palm on the North Shore of Oahu in October. Hawaii Save the dateHawaii Save the date Hawaii Save the date Hawaii Save the dateHawaii Save the dateHawaii Save the dateHawaii Save the dateHawaii underwater photography Hawaii underwater photography Hawaii underwater photography Hawaii underwater photography Hawaii underwater photography underwater photography Hawaii underwater photography Hawaii underwater photography Hawaii underwater photography Hawaii Surf Photography Hawaii underwater photography

MAUI HAWAII WEDDING : MARIE + RENNARD – OLOWALU PLANTATION HOUSE

Maui Wedding

 

A little over a year ago I met Marie and Rennard, they had me photograph their engagement pictures when they were here on Oahu.  They were a really fun couple to work with, so I was so excited a few months after when they had asked if I could be their photographer for their wedding on Maui at the Olowalu Plantation House.  Amazing location, maybe one of the most beautiful wedding venues I have seen in Hawaii.  Their wedding was nothing sort of perfect, from the DJ to the Shaved Ice Truck, and all the amazing family and friend that came all the way to Maui for this destination wedding. Congratulation Marie & Rennard!!Hawaii wedding dress Wedding photography Hawaii Wedding photography Hawaii Wedding photography Hawaii Wedding photography Hawaii

HAWAII WEDDING & ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY ACTIVITIES

It’s been awhile since my last post.  Step back daily bloggers… my passion for photography has combined with providing people with incredible experiences, captured by my lens.  Let me share with you some of the photo-tourism and destination wedding-photo-shoots that have kept me busy this year.

This year started off full of fun photo shoots with international clients from China, Singapore and Taiwan.  I might need to brush up on some language skills!

I’ve begun collaborating with an amazing, boutique, vintage Hawaii, wedding venue here in the country.  (That’s code for not crowded Waikiki.)  The Wedding Cottage Hawaii.  The idea was to offer brides and couples getting engaged with more than an ordinary photo shoot. Coming soon we are going to offer a variety of different outdoor activities that I can document for clients in an editorial – life style type of shoot.  Some of the activities include beach cruising on the North Shore, Sunset Beach skate path, paddle boarding down a river, kayaking to small islands, horse back riding and cattle wrangling at Gunstock Ranch.  If you’re not a surfer or a skater but want some fun outdoor experience photographed… we’ve got options.  If you do want that skate or surf experience, talk to the Event Directors at The Wedding Cottage and they can customize this, along with their lodging options.  We can document highlights of your vacation and you’ll go home with images and memories that you’ll never forget.  Who wants to be next?

KATIE + NIC : ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY – CHINAMAN’S HAT HAWAII

Wow, where to start.  Katie contacted me about doing engagement photos and mentioned that she and Nic are scuba divers.  My mind started going crazy with ideas.  I had been to Chinaman’s hat the week before and knew I wanted to do a shoot there and after talking with Katie I knew this was the couple.  I also rounded up some vintage scuba gear, you can see the double hose regulator below.  Thanks Katie and Nic for being so adventurous because it made for a really fun photo shoot.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

HAWAII ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY : NORTH SHORE OAHU

 

Photographing this engagement session reminded me in a big way how amazingly beautiful Hawaii is.  I drive on this coastline everyday and while I like to think I don’t take it for granted, I can always appreciate it more.  On this day the sky was bright with blue and the water was crystal clear.  Definitely a fun session for this newly married couple, she just  graduated from BYUH and he flew to Hawaii from Hong Kong after a very long separation from each other.engagement photographer (1) engagement photographer (2) engagement photographer (3) engagement photographer (4) engagement photographer (5) engagement photographer (6) engagement photographer (7) engagement photographer (8) engagement photographer (9) engagement photographer (10) engagement photographer (11) engagement photographer (12) engagement photographer (13) engagement photographer (14) engagement photographer (15) engagement photographer (16) engagement photographer (17)

This couple is a match made in heaven.  It was so much fun photographing Sara & Isaac.  They are both talented surfers and we had a great engagement photo session in the water together.  We were lucky to find some surf on the north shore.  Congratulations Sara & Isaac, can’t wait to photograph your wedding.

STACEY + DAVID : ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY – NORTH SHORE HAWAII

I had a lot of fun taking Stacey and David’s engagement photos!  They were very out going and fun to photograph.  As we were coming in from shooting some underwater photos at Waimea Bay,  I almost stepped on a turtle, so of course we jumped back in and got some shots with it as it swam around.  Seeing and swimming with turtle’s never get’s old.  Best wishes Stacey and David!

ASHLYNNE + BEN : HAWAII ENGAGEMENT – NORTH SHORE OAHU

It definitely is feeling like summer time, and true to form, this last month a lot of my sessions have included water photography.  It was a lot of fun capturing Ashlynne and Ben’s engagement photos before they headed back to the mainland.  We started off the session at the Haleiwa bridge, and then headed to Pipeline on the North Shore where we did the underwater pictures.  Congratulations Ashlynne and Ben.

NATALIE + AARON : UNDERWATER ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY -NORTH SHORE HAWAII

Natalie and Aaron were a super cute couple to photograph.  They met at BYU-Hawaii, both playing soccer.  At the time of this shoot their engagement was on the downlow, but was made official after Natalie visited Aaron in England were Aaron is from.  I think the yellow fish really wanted to be part of their shoot, it kept coming by and swimming around us, and at one time I think it even stared me down.

TANYA + ADAM : UNDERWATER ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY – HAWAII

As I arrived at this engagement shoot on the North Shore, the rain started and I thought for sure Tanya and Adam would want to reschedule, but they were troopers. I’m glad because it ended up being a fantastic photo shoot.  The video I included is a little behind the scenes look at the underwater part of their session.   Adam has been deployed three times overseas already and I wish them all the best in their upcoming wedding and life together.  Congratulations Tanya and Adam, can’t wait to photograph your wedding.  You guys are a beautiful couple.

LARA + CHRIS : hawaii engagement photographe

What a beautiful couple.  I had such a great time shooting these engagement photos with Lara and Chris on the North Shore of Oahu.  They were adventurous, fun, and clearly in love.  Everything seemed to work together really well, the sunlight, palm trees,  wardrobe, and their joy.  Congratulations Chris and Lara!
