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!

PAUL + CAITI : HAWAII ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS – NORTH SHORE OAHU

I love working with other artist, Paul is a musician and a wood worker and Caiti works in the fashion industry. Both very talented in and out of the water. You can see some of Paul’s wood working skills at fullerbanjo.com. Knew this was going to be a super fun engagement shoot when Paul and Caiti pulled out their Da Fins. It was one of those perfect days, we had lots of sun and the sea was happy. Look forward to photographing their wedding at Laulu Palm on the North Shore of Oahu in October.

KATIE + NIC : ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY – CHINAMAN’S HAT HAWAII

Wow, where to start. Katie contacted me about doing engagement photos and mentioned that she and Nic are scuba divers. My mind started going crazy with ideas. I had been to Chinaman’s hat the week before and knew I wanted to do a shoot there and after talking with Katie I knew this was the couple. I also rounded up some vintage scuba gear, you can see the double hose regulator below. Thanks Katie and Nic for being so adventurous because it made for a really fun photo shoot.

I had a lot of fun taking Stacey and David’s engagement photos! They were very out going and fun to photograph. As we were coming in from shooting some underwater photos at Waimea Bay, I almost stepped on a turtle, so of course we jumped back in and got some shots with it as it swam around. Seeing and swimming with turtle’s never get’s old. Best wishes Stacey and David!

TANYA + ADAM : UNDERWATER ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY – HAWAII

As I arrived at this engagement shoot on the North Shore, the rain started and I thought for sure Tanya and Adam would want to reschedule, but they were troopers.

Adam has been deployed three times overseas already and I wish them all the best in their upcoming wedding and life together. Congratulations Tanya and Adam, can’t wait to photograph your wedding.
