Had a fun time photographing Ashley surfing yesterday, 6 month pregnant and still charging. This will be her 3rd girl and she is already surfing. Will post more photos of this session in about a week or so, but this one garbbed me as I was downloading them. The colors were amazing yesterday.
A few days after the Sunset beach ceremony, I met up with Isabella and Ryan at Waimea Bay for some underwater pictures. I still can’t believe she jumped off the rock in her dress! It made for some fun photos and they are a beautiful couple. Often these kinds of sessions are called “trash the dress” sessions, but I think there’s got to be a better phrase out there- anybody know one?
I think this is my favorite picture of the session, likely because I would love to have a photograph of me and my grandfather like this.
A few weeks ago I shot this beautiful family on their vacation at Sunset beach here in Hawaii. When I got to their vacation rental I noticed that they had a pool. This is the first time I have ever shot in a pool. I have to say it was a bit easier than shooting in the ocean where we have to work with waves, rip tides, sea life, surfers and other things.
I don’t know if I would call this an underwater bridle or trash the dress session, but it was a lot of fun photographing Isabella and Ryan at Waimea Bay. They were naturals in the water. Later this week I will be posting pictures from their wedding at Sun Set Beach and more underwater pictures at Waimea Bay.
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!
Alexandra and Slava Flew in from San Francisco and were married in Waikiki. Alexandra asked if we could do a trash the dress session the day after their wedding. So here are a few shots from our morning together on the North Shore of Oahu. They did a great job, especially since this Alexandra’s first time going underwater in the ocean.
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.
My sons first time snorkeling. This is but one of the many reasons we live in Hawaii.
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.
While photographing a wedding in northern California last fall I meet Angela and Domi. They are also wedding photographers and work between Hawaii and Canada. You’ve got to check out their photo booth at www.photoboothhawaii.com, I wish I had one of these at my wedding. Well I had a lot of fun taking their maternity pictures, and I was so excited when they wanted to go in the water. We stopped at a few different beaches on the north shore of Oahu and even ended up getting in the surf at Waimea bay.
