Erin and Jack

I love this image.

Erin walked up behind Jack and without saying a word, they just held hands. She didn't want him to see her in her wedding dress but they wanted to share a special moment together before the ceremony....how sweet!

Trash the Dress

Photobucket

I was asked the other day if I was "known" as the"Trash the Dress Photographer".

Well, I absolutely love to shoot a "Trash the Dress" event....but, I'm better "known" as the photographer who is fun, easy to work with, and who takes beautiful images.


The idea of a "Trash the Dress" shoot is NOT for everyone. It doesn't matter where I am shooting, my photography always reflect the personality of the couple.

For today...I was super lucky to call the beach "my studio"!

Water Development with Kainani

Photobucket

Just like a fish, I have gills instead of lungs. As kids, my brother and I lived in the swimming pool. Kainani has the same love for the water, except she has a bigger "Pool".

Photobucket

Before Kainani was born, Kimi and I were often asked what name we had chose for her. There were some names on our list, but we wanted to meet her first and see what name would best fit. During Kainani's first bath at the hospital, we learned the calming effect water had on our baby.

Kainani is the name we chose and in Hawaiian, it means Beautiful Ocean.

Charlene and Jarvis

Friends and family from China, Australia and the continental United States gathered to celebrate the wedding of Charlene and Jarvis.

Photobucket



The couple have been friends since they were seven years old. Charlene admits having a crush on him way back then, but Jarvis always played it cool.


Photobucket



The flower girls had a blast at their uncle's wedding. You can still see a stray flower petal in Jarvis' hair from the flower petal-toss fight they had together after the ceremony. So cute!

The ceremony was held at the beautiful Hoku Lani Beach House. With the assistance of First Class Weddings coordinating the event, everything was perfect.
