LINDSAY + NICO : DESTINATION HAWAII WEDDING – KAUAI

trash the dress Hawaii

 

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.

MAUI HAWAII WEDDING : MARIE + RENNARD – OLOWALU PLANTATION HOUSE

Maui Wedding

 

A little over a year ago I met Marie and Rennard, they had me photograph their engagement pictures when they were here on Oahu.  They were a really fun couple to work with, so I was so excited a few months after when they had asked if I could be their photographer for their wedding on Maui at the Olowalu Plantation House.  Amazing location, maybe one of the most beautiful wedding venues I have seen in Hawaii.  Their wedding was nothing sort of perfect, from the DJ to the Shaved Ice Truck, and all the amazing family and friend that came all the way to Maui for this destination wedding. Congratulation Marie & Rennard!!Hawaii wedding dress Wedding photography Hawaii Wedding photography Hawaii Wedding photography Hawaii Wedding photography Hawaii

MARISSA + SEAN : WAIMEA VALLEY – DILLINGHAM RANCH, HAWAII

Hawaii Wedding Photography

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!Hawaii Wedding Photography Hawaii Wedding Photography Hawaii Wedding Photography Hawaii Wedding Photography Hawaii Wedding Photography Hawaii Wedding Photography Hawaii Wedding Photography Hawaii Wedding Photography Hawaii Wedding Photography Hawaii Wedding Photography Hawaii Wedding Photography Hawaii Wedding Photography Hawaii Wedding Photography Hawaii Wedding Photography Hawaii Wedding Photography Hawaii Wedding Photography Hawaii Wedding Photography Hawaii Wedding Photography Hawaii Wedding Photography Hawaii Wedding Photographer Hawaii Wedding Photographer Hawaii Wedding Photographer Hawaii Wedding Photographer Hawaii Wedding Photographer Hawaii Wedding Photographer Hawaii Wedding Photography Hawaii Wedding Photographer Hawaii Wedding Photographer Hawaii Wedding Photographer Hawaii Wedding Photographer Hawaii Wedding Photographer Hawaii Wedding Photographer Hawaii Wedding Photographer Hawaii Wedding Photographer Hawaii Wedding Photographer Hawaii Wedding Photographer Hawaii Wedding Photographer Hawaii Wedding Photographer Hawaii Wedding Photographer Hawaii Wedding Photographer Hawaii Wedding Photographer Hawaii Wedding Photographer Hawaii Wedding Photographer Hawaii Wedding Photographer Hawaii Wedding Photographer Hawaii Wedding Photographer Hawaii Wedding Photographer Hawaii Wedding Photographer Hawaii Wedding Photographer Hawaii Wedding Photographer Hawaii Wedding Photographer Hawaii Wedding Photographer

i loved photographing this local wedding.  The incredible food, entertainment, and all the friends and family create the kind of atmosphere that makes Hawaii so special.  Leiau and Lance had an amazing wedding on the beach just outside of Laie, and after headed over to Kualoa Ranch for the reception.  The following Monday, Leiau decided to jump off Laie point in her wedding dress.  It was the perfect day with light winds and calm seas.

HAWAII WEDDING & ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY ACTIVITIES

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?

EMILY + JASON : HAWAII WEDDING – KEANA POINT

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.

Hawaii wedding photographer

I had a great time photographing Candice and Sam’s wedding.  They came all the way from New Zealand with their families for an intimate destination wedding here in Hawaii. It was a beautiful day to have a wedding on the white sandy beaches of Waimanalo. It turned out to be an amazing day, we even had time hike down to a remote cove to trash the dress.  Congratulations Candice and Sam!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

REBECCA + TYLER : ELOPING TO HAWAII

A small preview of a wedding I photographed this week, Rebecca and Tyler’s eloped on the North Shore of Hawaii.  Nobody knew of their wedding, so I sent them a few photos quickly so they could announce it to the world. Congratulations Rebecca and Tyler, it was a beautiful ceremony.

MALIA & BRAD : WEDDING SURF PHOTOGRAPHY – TURTLE BAY HAWAII

HAWAII SURF WEDDING

This wedding brought two passions together, surfing and photography.  I was of course excited when Malia contacted me and said she wanted to go surfing in her wedding dress.  I have done a lot of trash the dress photography, but this was the first actual wedding where the bride and groom and the whole wedding party jumped in the water.  Malia and Brad’s wedding was at Turtle Bay on the North Shore of Oahu Hawaii.  This was the perfect wedding venue to have the wedding ceremony and then jump in the water.  On top of the surf, they had a really amazing color scheme.  Congratulations Malia and Brad, you guys ripped it up.

DANA & JAKE : NORTH SHORE HAWAII “TRASH THE DRESS SESSION”

Hawaii wedding photographer

Being a wedding photographer here in Hawaii I deal with a lot of different variables, especially when it comes to getting in the water for a trash the dress session.  Being on an island we are often at the mercy of the wind, sun, waves, and all different elements.   Dana and Jake’s “Trash the Dress session” almost didn’t happen.  Jake sliced his foot open before their wedding and almost didn’t make it to the ceremony after spending most of the morning in the ER.  The doctor told Jake to stay out of the water.  A friend let us borrow the big blue boot to keep Jake’s foot dry, as seen below.   Busted up foot or not Dana and Jake did a great job hiking over the coral on the North Shore, and getting in the water. The waves were a little big that day but we were able to find a safe location to get into the water. My two favorite pictures of this shoot are the 4th photo were Dana is running, and the last one.  I think she looks so peaceful as she is gliding through the water.

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.
