LINDSAY + NICO : DESTINATION HAWAII WEDDING – KAUAI

How delightful it is going to Kauai whether for perfect surf or shooting an amazing destination wedding like this one with Lindsay & Nico coming all the way from Florida. They were such an adventurous and fun couple who I really enjoyed spending time with. First we started off by going to a private waterfall for the ceremony with their families. After a few shots on a nearby beach we drove to Poipu were they jumped off the rock at Shipwreck beach and trashed the dress, there is a little GoPro Hero clip at the bottom of the post. After some underwater photos we watched an amazing Kauai sunset. Congratulations Lindsay and Nico!

LEIAU + LANCE : HAWAII WEDDING, LAIE – KUALOA

i loved photographing this local wedding. The incredible food, entertainment, and all the friends and family create the kind of atmosphere that makes Hawaii so special. Leiau and Lance had an amazing wedding on the beach just outside of Laie, and after headed over to Kualoa Ranch for the reception. The following Monday, Leiau decided to jump off Laie point in her wedding dress. It was the perfect day with light winds and calm seas. Congratulations Leiau and Lance!

CANDICE & SAM – TRASH THE DRESS HAWAII

I had a great time photographing Candice and Sam’s wedding. They came all the way from New Zealand with their families for an intimate destination wedding here in Hawaii. It was a beautiful day to have a wedding on the white sandy beaches of Waimanalo. It turned out to be an amazing day, we even had time hike down to a remote cove to trash the dress. Congratulations Candice and Sam!

MARINA & LYOSHA : FROM MOSCOW TO HAWAII – DESTINATION WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

I had a fantastic time photographing Marina and Lyosha from Moscow, Russia. They booked me for a four hour session giving us plenty of time to get a variety of wedding shots and also time to get some candid photos in the water. Marina and Lyosha were the 5th couple I photographed from Russia this year! Very cool. We spent our time on the North Shore of Oahu and here is a sampling of what we got.

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.

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.

CARRIE + BEN : LAIE TEMPLE WEDDING – NORTH SHORE HAWAII

Prior to their wedding Carrie and Ben jumped right in as we did a trash the dress session on the north shore at Turtle Bay. As a surfer Ben was very comfortable, and Carrie was quite brave to go out into the surf as big as it was. There are a few behind the scenes photos below where you can see wave size. They were married a few day later at the Laie, Hawaii Temple, the same temple that Carrie’s parents were married in. Their receptions was at a beach house on Laie Bay, one of my favorite places in the world. They had so many fun things at their reception: cotton candy, a Ted’s Bakery cake and even fire knife dancing from Carrie’s dads college roommate, Kap Te’o Tafiti.

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 & BRANDON : HAWAII DESTINATION WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER – KAUAI

One of my favorite islands in Hawaii is Kauai, so I was super excited when Lindsay asked me to be their wedding photographer for their destination wedding on Kauai. Lindsay and Brandon had a fun group of friends fly in from Alaska. One of them even bought a van for the week while they were here, see it below. Even though we had a little rain, the wedding turned out beautifully, and we were blessed with an amazing rainbow just in time for the ceremony.
