Hawaii photographer
I had a great time photographing Silvia & Matt’s destination wedding at the Royal Kona Resort, located on the ocean in Kona Hawaii. Silvia’s family came all the way from Germany, it was so fun the have the European vibe there and they had so much style. You can just tell from the wedding dress Silvia chose. This is the first time photographing a wedding at the Royal Kona Resort. Its a great location for a wedding in Kona and the sunset was amazing.
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.
I photographed Josh & Lynne and the cool thing about it was that their wedding was on Waimea Bay beach. The state doesn’t give out many permits for Waimea beach weddings, but this couple got one. We had a lot of fun shooting at Shark’s Cove and Ke Iki beaches too. They were glowing and having a genuinely good time with each other. How fun to be married with sand and surf at your feet, wind in your hair, sun on your face, and palm trees all around.
Katie and Andrew were married at Fanger Estates located just a few minuets from my studio here in Hau’ula Hawaii. This is the first wedding I have photographed at Fanger Estates, it is a new wedding venue. The house on the property is amazing and was built by my good friend and client Dave Evans, owner of Evans Construction. I had a great time with Katie and Andrew and their families, some of which came from as far as Australia to be there. Congratulations!

I have just started using vimeo to post some of my wedding slideshows. Here is a smaller version of the slide show I sent to Katie & Andrew. Enjoy!

I got a call a couple of days ago from the graphic designer that does the layout for BYU- Hawaii’s school paper, the Ke Alaka’i. They said they were doing an article on weddings and asked if they could publish a few of the photos that I had taken. I didn’t realize that they were going to use them for the cover and the spread inside. As a BYU-Hawaii alumni, it’s always fun to interact with the school. I thought I’d post the spread.

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.
