TRACI & ADAM : WAIMEA FALLS WEDDING – NORTH SHORE HAWAII

Traci and Adam had their destination wedding at Waimea Falls located on the North Shore of Oahu Hawaii.  This is an amazingly beautiful place to get married.  You are surrounded by a lush tropical forest and across the street is Waimea Bay that has a long sandy beach.

I really had a great time photographing Traci and Adams Wedding.  All the bridesmaids and groomsmen were a lot of fun to be around.  I was really impressed on how their wedding was so centered on their faith.  I thought it was cool that the first thing they wanted to do as a married couple was to take communion. Congratulations Traci and Adam.

DECEMBER WEDDINGS

I really love my job,  I shot 2 weddings this past week and they were both so different but amazing at the same time.  The first was a military wedding at Waimea Valley, and the second wedding was at Turtle Bay Resort where the whole wedding party went surfing after the wedding in their clothes.   I will be posting more photos from both of these weddings after things slow down.  I still have two water shoots and a trash the dress session in Maui, and that is before Christmas.

TRACI : BRIDAL WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY – LAIE HAWAII TEMPLE

I am so excited to photograph Traci and Adam’s wedding at Waimea Vally this week.  I took some bridals of Traci a few week back at the Laie Hawaii Temple, and last June we did some underwater engagement pictures on the North Shore.  You can see those here.  They are a fun couple,  and Waimea Vally is a beautiful place to get married, I think this is going to be an amazing wedding.

KIM & BART : LOULU PALM ESTATES WEDDING – NORTH SHORE HAWAII

Check out the beauty that is Kim and Bart’s beach wedding.  They were marred at Loulu Palm Estates, a very nice venue on the North Shore of Oahu.   What an amazing location to have a sunset wedding.  Kim carefully put together the color scheme and designed the tent embellishments with the great wedding planner, Milestone Events Hawaii.  The flowers were by Flower Farm. they did a great job with the arch and bouquet.  The decor was well chosen with white leather couches, glass beading, and other stylish touches.  I love the glow and joy that totally radiates off of this couple in the pictures.

MEGHAN & MIKE : SUNSET BEACH WEDDING – NORTH SHORE OAHU HAWAII

This was an incredible backyard wedding at Sunset Beach on the North Shore of Hawaii.  Besides the stunning style of the couple and her awesome dress, I could really see a ton of happiness in this group-  I think you’ll see that in the pictures, everyone had huge smiles and all of that joy and energy made choosing which pictures to post challenging.  Meghan and Mike had about 50 people come from the mainland to Hawaii for their destination wedding.  Congratulations Meghan and Mike, and thank you for having me photograph your wedding, it was an honor.

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.

LYNNE & JOSH : NORTH SHORE OAHU HAWAII WEDDING

 

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.

Jaynie and Derek are a super chic and hip young couple.
