KATIE & MIKE : MAUI WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY – TWIN FALLS MAUI

Katie and Mike flew into Maui after their wedding in Atlanta, Georgia. I met them in Maui for a trash the dress session at Twin Falls.  They were both very adventurous, especially Katie to hike in with her wedding dress. The water fall was flowing pretty good since we had a week of rain prior.  Last time I was here I was working on the Arbonne catalog, and couldn’t help to think what  a cool place it would be to photograph a bride.  So I was very excited when Katie and Mike called me up to photograph their post wedding pictures.  Congratulations guys-  it was a lot of fun spending this time with you!

TRACI & ADAM : WAIMEA FALLS WEDDING – NORTH SHORE HAWAII

Traci and Adam had their destination wedding at Waimea Falls located on the North Shore of Oahu Hawaii.  This is an amazingly beautiful place to get married.  You are surrounded by a lush tropical forest and across the street is Waimea Bay that has a long sandy beach.

I really had a great time photographing Traci and Adams Wedding.  All the bridesmaids and groomsmen were a lot of fun to be around.  I was really impressed on how their wedding was so centered on their faith.  I thought it was cool that the first thing they wanted to do as a married couple was to take communion. Congratulations Traci and Adam.

WAIMEA BAY CLIFF JUMP : NORTH SHORE HAWAII

This last Halloween I went out to Waimea Bay with Devin Graham  to capture about 20 people jumping off the rock in their  costumes.  Devin shot from the rock and I got the clips from the water.  You can see more of Devin’s work Here.  He is one of the most creative cinematographers I have seen for a long time, check him out.

DECEMBER WEDDINGS

I really love my job,  I shot 2 weddings this past week and they were both so different but amazing at the same time.  The first was a military wedding at Waimea Valley, and the second wedding was at Turtle Bay Resort where the whole wedding party went surfing after the wedding in their clothes.   I will be posting more photos from both of these weddings after things slow down.  I still have two water shoots and a trash the dress session in Maui, and that is before Christmas.

TRACI : BRIDAL WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY – LAIE HAWAII TEMPLE

I am so excited to photograph Traci and Adam’s wedding at Waimea Vally this week.  I took some bridals of Traci a few week back at the Laie Hawaii Temple, and last June we did some underwater engagement pictures on the North Shore.  You can see those here.  They are a fun couple,  and Waimea Vally is a beautiful place to get married, I think this is going to be an amazing wedding.

D-TOWN TV : SCOTT KELBY & MATT KLOSKOWSKI

This last week, I got a little Holladay Photo shout out on D-Town tv.  You can see the episode here.  They mention Holladay Photo at the end of the show about minute 18.   D-Town tv is a weekly show for DSLR photographers put on by Scott Kelby and Matt Kloskowski.  They have tons of amazing tips on cameras, lighting, workflow, lightroom, photoshop, and how to bring it all together to create great images. Whether an amateur or pro photographer this is a great place to learn how to be a better photographer.  I also recommend checking out Scott’s blog, www.scottkelby.com.  I first learned of Scott 6 years ago when I started shooting digital.  This guy is a good teacher, have fun checking out his blog.  Thanks guys for sharing your knowledge!

BILLABONG PIPE MASTERS : NORTH SHORE HAWAII SURF PHOTOGRAPHY

Here are a few shoots from the Billabong Pipe Masters in Memory of Andy Irons.  This is the last competition  of the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing.  It was a beautiful day wish the waves were a bit bigger though.   To see the results of day 1 go here.

I thought this was kind of cool.  There was a guy controlling this remote control helicopter with a 5d mark II  attached to it shooting video by the surfers.  That is one way to get out there.

XYRA & ENRIQUE : ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY – NORTH SHORE HAWAII

I had such a great time photographing Xyra and Enrique for their engagement pictures.  A week after our shoot Enrique was deployed to Afghanistan for a year.  This is his 3rd deployment.  I don’t know how they do it being apart, but you can totally see the chemistry when they are together.
