I don’t remember where I first saw it, but someone had a slide show made by Pummelvision. They just take a bunch of your photos and make a fast slide show in a few minutes. Instead of trying to make a slide show with all the photography from this last year, like the weddings, family, and commercial photos; I decided to just use the local underwater photography. It was kind of a fun thing to see.
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.
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.
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.
It was a beautiful day on the North Shore today. The picture above is of the Vans triple Crown of Surfing contest in Haleiwa Hawaii. This is the world championship of surfing. I was on my way to an engagement session and the mountains looked amazing and I had to just pull over and snap a shot. The picture below is of the fun couple that I was photographing. I had a great time with this couple, can’t wait to post their shoot in a week or so.
Meghan and Mike came from California for a destination wedding in Hawaii. A few days before their wedding we set out for a pre wedding surf session on the north shore. I had a lot of fun photographing Meghan and Mike in the water, they are both talented surfers. Check back in a day or so to see photos from their wedding, it was an amazing wedding to photograph.
Urielle & Francois are from Lyon France, and came to hawaii for their honeymoon. I didn’t know this but in france couples do not get engagement pictures. Urielle wanted to get some engagement type photos of her and Francois, so I took them to the North Shore and it was a beautiful day. I love the color of dress that Urielle chose to were, it just pops out against the blue sky and water.
Had a great time photographing Traci and Adam. We started off in Haleiwa and worked our way down the North Shore until we made it to Sunset Beach. I was so excited when they said they wanted to jump off the rock at Waimea Bay, it makes for great pictures in the morning. Traci’s brides maids happened to be in town during our engagement shoot and came along to help out, they even got in the water at the end. I look forward to shooting Traci and Adam’s wedding at Waimea Valley in December. Congratulations!
Had a great time photographing Kristin and Lee. Visiting from Texas, they got a quick photo shoot in before they left on their Hawaiian cruise. It was fun taking the underwater pictures, I think they both look very natural. I really like Kristin’s swimsuit, it had a vintage look to it so I decided to give a few of the pictures a vintage feel. enjoy.
It has been very busy these last few months with engagement photo sessions. I had a great time with this couple shooting in and out of the water on the North Shore of Oahu.
