80’S PROM PHOTO BOOTH : HAUULA HAWAII

Last weekend some of our friends put on a raging 80’s party,  they asked if I could set up a prom like photo booth, and how could I say no with everyone getting decked out.  The party rocked with great music, the debut of  Spread Eagle, and a lot of crazies from the 80’s.  I have put the photos on my Flickr page so ever one at the party can download their prom pics.  Click here to view and download.  For those new to Flickr here are some brief instructions on how to download your shot.  First click on the images you want, then click on “all sizes” above the image, chose the size you want and then hit download.  I would love to hear your comments so leave them below.

JAYNIE AND DEREK: LOULU PALM ESTATE: NORTH SHORE, OAHU, HAWAII

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.

KINGA & JANUSZ: HAWAII SUNRISE WEDDING

I think this was the earliest wedding I have ever photographed,  It was 5am when I meet Kinga and Janusz at Turtle Bay for a 5:30 sunrise.  We drove up the North shore to a secluded beach, it rained all the way there and as soon as we got to the beach it stopped.  After the ceremony and a few shots at Keiki beach, we headed over to Waimea bay to photograph them underwater.  Kinga did a great job, it is a lot harder then it looks to swim with a wedding dress on.  Thank you for a fun morning, I really enjoyed being part of your Hawaii sunrise wedding.

TRACY AND ANDREW WEDDING: LOULU PALM ESTATE: OAHU, HAWAII

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.

This gorgeous family of four lives in an amazing home in Kailua . The entire session was a great time and with all of the beautiful people and landscape, the shoot couldn’t have been more enjoyable. Congratulations to Kristin and Aric! Both Rain and Ocean are adorable!

Another school year starts and so does Halau Nalu, and the kids were all awesome.   Especially this blondie, and yes I am allowed to say that because he is only 3, and he rips and he is my boy.  I love doing surf photography for Halau Nalu, the kids are so energetic, talented and fun to shoot.

BECKY & DOUG : HAWAII ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY

Congratulations Doug and Becky!  I had a great time photographing this gorgeous couple, and I think these pictures really represent who they are.  We did the shoot in Doug’s backyard, what an amazing place to live in Hawaii.  Doug and I both have hobie cats on this beach and for some of these shoots I was on one catamaran while they were on the other.  It was harder to shoot from a moving boat than I thought.  I love shooting engagement and wedding photographs on, around or in the water.  Thanks Doug and Becky for making my job so fun.
