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 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?

It was so fun to photograph Michelle and Scott. They stopped here on Oahu on their way to Maui to do a quick shoot with me. Amazing couple, they run a banner and sign company it California that makes banners for some of the bigger surf companies like Hurly. You can see their site here. We had a great time, even got in the water for some underwater photos, Mahalo Michelle and Scott.

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.

LARA & CHRIS : HAWAII WEDDING – NORTH SHORE OAHU

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.

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!

It definitely is feeling like summer time, and true to form, this last month a lot of my sessions have included water photography.

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.

ANELA & MARCUS : ENGAGEMENT SESSION – WINDWARD OAHU HAWAII

This is one of the most stunning locations I have photographed for an engagement session. Marcus and Anela wanted to encompass the land and sea in their shoot. So we spent time in these gardens on the Windward side of Oahu and also in the ocean for some underwater engagement pictures. Marcus and Anela are truly some of the best people I know. Marcus is in medical school and Anela is an amazing teacher here in Hawaii, my kids just light up anytime she comes around.
