Hawaii photographer
I was so stoked to spend time with Sandra & Ok on this life style shoot. They both work in advertising and came all the way from Taipei Taiwan. We spent most of the day on the North Shore getting different engagement and wedding style photos. Congratulations Sandra and Ok, good luck with the wedding.
I had so much fun photographing Marissa & Sean’s wedding. It took place at two of the most beautiful wedding venues on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii. The wedding ceremony was at the upper meadow in Waimea Valley and the wedding reception was located at Dillingham Ranch. There are so many amazing locations to take photographs at both venues and all along the North Shore. I loved the decor at the reception, it was all designed by Marissa her self. Congratulations Marissa and Sean!
It’s been awhile since my last post. Step back daily bloggers… my passion for photography has combined with providing people with incredible experiences, captured by my lens. Let me share with you some of the photo-tourism and destination wedding-photo-shoots that have kept me busy this year.
This year started off full of fun photo shoots with international clients from China, Singapore and Taiwan. I might need to brush up on some language skills!
I’ve begun collaborating with an amazing, boutique, vintage Hawaii, wedding venue here in the country. (That’s code for not crowded Waikiki.) The Wedding Cottage Hawaii. The idea was to offer brides and couples getting engaged with more than an ordinary photo shoot. Coming soon we are going to offer a variety of different outdoor activities that I can document for clients in an editorial – life style type of shoot. Some of the activities include beach cruising on the North Shore, Sunset Beach skate path, paddle boarding down a river, kayaking to small islands, horse back riding and cattle wrangling at Gunstock Ranch. If you’re not a surfer or a skater but want some fun outdoor experience photographed… we’ve got options. If you do want that skate or surf experience, talk to the Event Directors at The Wedding Cottage and they can customize this, along with their lodging options. We can document highlights of your vacation and you’ll go home with images and memories that you’ll never forget. Who wants to be next?
What an amazing day. Emily and Jason were married on the beach at Keana Point. It was so beautiful, long stretches of white sandy beaches. After the ceremony we headed to Dillingham Ranch were Emily keeps her horse. They also had the reception at a house on the hillside of the Ranch where there was a stunning view of the whole North Shore. To finish the night off they brought out some sparklers, and we were able to get some great shots using long exposure photography. Congratulations Emily and Jason.
Had a super fun trash the dress session with Mimi and Steve. We started by jumping off Waimea rock, and then headed over to Sunset beach for some underwater shots. It was one of those perfect Hawaii days, empty beaches and beautiful blue skies.
Kristen and Allen had an amazing destination wedding at the Turtle Bay resort pavilion located on the north shore of O`ahu Hawai`i. The evening was perfect. We were able to get some fantastic wedding pictures on the beach as well as the reef. I also loved the arch that was made by North Shore Weddings and Flowers. The stunning colors of the flowers were on the arch as well as the table centerpieces. The wedding was peaceful and beautiful, congratulations Kristen and Allen!
I had an amazing time photographing Bonnie and Stockton’s wedding. They were married on the beautiful beaches of Kailua where they had tons of family and friends there to celebrate their special day. Bonnie and Stockton both work in the movie industry, so everything was done right, from the decor to the best lighting I have ever worked with at a reception. After the wedding ceremony they drove to Kualoa ranch for the reception in a restorted dodge comet. I loved meeting all of their friends and family and wish Bonnie and Stockton never ending happiness in their life together!
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. 
Last March I photographed Chris and Lara’s engagement photos, you can see them here. They gave away bottles of merlot with one of my images as the label. The wedding venu was at the Bali Ho house on the North Show of Oahu were they had the wedding ceremony and reception. The day of the wedding ended up being a beautiful day on the North Shore. There was a little rain but we had a stunning Hawaiian sunset. As a photographer you can’t ask for better lighting. The reception was fantastic. It was catered by one of my favorite wedding planners, Milestone Events Hawaii. I love when I arrive at a wedding and see them setting up, because I know the food is going to be amazing. I also loved their wedding cake, it was inspired by the surf art work of Heather Brown. Congratulations Lara and Chris and thanks for letting me be part of your big day.
DeEtte and Scott brought their family to the North Shore of Oahu for their Hawaii wedding. It was a beautiful evening to have a wedding on the beach. I loved DeEtte’s wedding dress, it was simple, beautiful and elegant. It was perfect for a beach wedding in Hawaii. After the wedding ceremony we had time to get some fun family pictures with that last 1/2 hour of sunlight on the north shore.
Tanya and Adam were married at Sunset Ranch overlooking the North Shore of Oahu Hawaii. This is a stunning place to host a large wedding. The view of the sun setting was incredible, and the food and decorations were excellent. I photographed Tanya and Adam’s engagement pictures a few months back, they even did a few underwater shots, you can see those here. Congratulations to this beautiful couple- Tanya and Adam!
