BONNIE + STOCKTON : BEACH WEDDING – KAILUA & KUALOA RANCH HAWAII

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 + JORDAN : NORTH SHORE WEDDING – MOKULE’IA BEACH HAWAII

 

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. Sunset weddingSunset weddingSunset weddingSunset weddingSunset weddingSunset weddingSunset weddingSunset weddingSunset weddingSunset weddingSunset weddingSunset weddingSunset weddingSunset wedding

ASHLEE + JON : HAWAII WEDDING – LAIE

wedding photographer

 

It has been a busy wedding season here in Hawaii.  I have wanted to post more but time is scarce.  Here are a few shots from Ashlee and Jon’s wedding at the Laie Hawaii Temple. They were married in the Laie temple and then had a ring ceremony afterwards on the grounds.  The first few images are from Laie Point,  I shot those with an off camera flash as it was the middle of the day and the sun was harsh.  I love how Ashlee’s dress blew in the wind.  We finished up at a beautiful beach in Hau’ula.  Congratulations Ashlee and Jon!hawaii wedding photographer

MELANIE + BILLY : LOULU PALM ESTATE – NORTH SHORE OAHU, HAWAII

Another amazing wedding on the North Shore at Loulu Palm Estate.  This is truly one of the most beautiful places to have your wedding ceremony and reception in the same location.  Melanie and Billy had friends and family travel to Hawaii for their destination wedding, from as far away as New York City.  It was a fun crowd and there were 4 or 5 of their friends shooting with film cameras.  It made me wish I had brought mine.  I can’t wait to see their film photos.  Congratulations Melanie and Billy.

MORGAN & TAYLOR : LAIE TEMPLE WEDDING

What a beautiful wedding.  Morgan and Taylor had their wedding ceremony at the Laie Hawaii Temple.  Their reception was held at the art courtyard at BYU-Hawaii.  This was the first wedding event I have photographed at BYU-Hawaii.  There were many fun details that went into decorating the courtyard, making it an intimate reception.  Our tropical summer weather brought some rain during the reception, but I’ve heard that wedding day rain brings extra good fortune to the couple and it certainly didn’t dampen the good feelings and energy of the event.  It was memorable to witness all of the Maori culture expressed through Morgan’s family and Taylor joined in the haka as well.    Congratulations Morgan and Taylor!  Mahalo for allowing me to be a part of your amazing day.

SILVIA & MATT : TRASH THE DRESS – NORTH SHORE HAWAII

I photographed Silvia and Matt’s destination wedding last year on the big island of Hawaii, you can see their wedding pictures here. Stunning bride and groom.  I was so excited when they contacted me about doing a trash the dress session in the ocean. Both of them were fantastic in the water, and I love the way Silvia’s wedding dress flowed in the water for these dream like shots.

ROCHELLE + IVAN : WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY – NORTH SHORE HAWAII

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.

GENEVA + AJ : NORTH SHORE HAWAII WEDDING

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.
