Hawaii photographer
A few pictures from the 2011 Moanikeala Hula Festival at the Polynesian Cultural Center here in Laie Hawaii. One of the Halau came all the way from Japan just to perform at this festival.
This is the second year in a row that I have worked on the promotional pictures for the Polynesian Cultural Center’s Haunted Lagoon. It was lot of fun working with the art directors and graphic designer from the PCC. I wish I would have taken some behind the scenes pictures, there were about 15 people working together to create these images. I was used a number of different strobes and a huge fog machine to add the mist affect. Big thanks to Jenica Taylor for all the graphics. This is defiantly a good year to go to the Haunted Lagoon, it is going to be bigger and better than last. To get more information about the Haunted Lagoon click here.
Photographing Taylor’s bridals was amazing. A few days before Taylor’s wedding, her family’s home in Laie Hawaii was flooded, displacing the family and guests they were hosting. On the night of the reception, the power went off in Laie, about 20 minutes into the reception. They pulled it off gracefully as you can see in the pictures below shot at Koolau Ranch.
