CLICK HERE for a little pre-wedding peek into Brittany and Jeff’s tropical getaway to Kauai. They planned an island-hopping “research trip” to scout for incredible beaches and possible wedding locations. After thorough visits to Oahu, Maui and Kauai, it was the natural beauty of the Garden Island that exceeded all expectations and was the clear winner for their destination wedding. Now the challenge will be practicing patience as they eagerly await that special day. Having known Jeff since high school, it was a special treat to catch up with him and finally meet his beautiful fiancee. Capturing incredible imagery of the two sharing laughs and warm embraces was icing on the cake. Aloha and come back soon!

CLICK HERE for a look into the lives of two beautiful people on their special day at Anini Beach. Along Kauai’s dramatic North Shore coastline, Micky was lucky enough to land the best catch of his life. Melissa looked stunning in the blustery weather and despite the windy and rainy conditions, her smile never faded. It didn’t take long for us to recognize the comfort, closeness, and compassion that Melissa and Micky share in their relationship. Their light shines through every photo! It was a such pleasure to work with this awesome couple and their supportive family who came to share in their celebration. Aloha nui loa and a huge CONGRATS to our new friends!

CLICK HERE for an exclusive look into Gia and Paul’s intimate celebration at Kauai’s beautiful wedding sanctuary, Anini Beach. From start to finish, the details were sophisticated in an exquisite array of color that complimented the natural sky light as the sun sunk below the horizon. Gia and Paul glowed with the support of their loving family and friends as the day unfolded with candid smiles and warm embraces. The smooth coordination of their 10-10-10 wedding day mixed with the couple’s relaxed and loving personalities created a photographers dream. Julia and I say congrats and Mahalo for such great time!

CLICK HERE to view this beautiful newlywed couple during a special honeymoon “Trash the Dress” session near Ke’e Beach on the North Shore of Kauai. Christina and David were full of excitement and creative energy right after their East Coast wedding. From a photographer’s perspective, there’s nothing like a dramatic jungle with warm reflections of fading light followed by an incredible sunset off the Nepali Coastline. Despite a few bug bites and sandy bottoms, Julia and I had a blast with these two. Aloha and enjoy the photos!

CLICK HERE to see our first complete in-house vow renewal with the most charming couple from Chicago. To start things off right, Julia led a beautiful ceremony at Moloaa Beach complete with lei exchange and poetic words to live and love by. In the short photography session that followed, it was easy to see the spark that Jen and Adam have shared during their 10 successful years of marriage. This occasion was the perfect way to celebrate this milestone and commemorate their memorable experience in Kauai. From trusting a first-time officiant, to getting sexy and playful in the shore break, these two were open-minded and definitely up for a good time. Congrats and a hui hou!

CLICK HERE to see an amazing couple on their special day. This was not your average wedding… from the tsunami warning and road closures, to the fire dancing and full moon, this wedding had everything Kauai offers and then some! The entire event was hosted at the beautiful Hotel Coral Reef with an ocean view ceremony and poolside reception. Lani and the girls were absolutely radiant and the boys cleaned up pretty nice too. With the excitement of the day and the glamourous festivities of the night, this unique Kauai wedding is one to remember. Aloha and all the best!

CLICK HERE to visit the relaxing spa retreat at the St. Regis Resort in Princeville, Kauai. It was another early morning photo shoot on the North Shore, this time to capture the tranquil cascading walls of Water Studio. There’s no better way to start the weekend than in the calming spa at one of the world’s most beautiful hotels! After the photo session, I had to sneak out to the lanai for A FEW MORE of Hanalei Bay in the early morning light…
