It was evident they were crazy about each other. The way he looked at her. The way she laughed. Young love is so sweet…and it only gets sweeter with time.
Take a minute to watch a slideshow of Aaron & Sarah’s photo session.

It was a beautiful evening at Lanikai Beach. Aaron & Sarah chose to do a bridal photo session before their Kailua wedding reception. It was the best decision! They looked absolutely stunning on the beach together!
Over looking Kailua, Aaron & Sarah’s reception had the most amazing view!
I love this last shot while we were leaving Lanikai Beach, full of the lush, green trees and hills.
Miyahana Family: Family Portraits Oahu

The Ho’omaluhia Botanical Gardens in Kaneohe are absolutely gorgeous! I love shooting against all of the lush, tropical greenery. The view of the Ko’olau Mountains is amazing too. Photographing the Miyahana Family was a lot of fun. The kids were oh-so-cute and playful! It made for a great morning filled with smiles!
See below for a slideshow of the Miyahana Family:

Vance + Shari: Hawaii Wedding
August 19, 2011 | Filed Under Couples, Events, Slideshows | Comments Off on Vance + Shari: Hawaii Wedding
Tucked away in a beautiful part of the island, hides Eternity Beach. Surrounded by black lava rock, the ocean shines like a blue gem. It was a gorgeous backdrop for Vance and Shari’s wedding. It was small and intimate, with only a few family members who flew out for this special event. It made for a very romantic beach wedding. It was so fun to watch the bride and groom chase each other into the water, climb up the lava rocks and be so in love and playful together!
Captain Ken with A Dream Wedding Hawaii officiated at the wedding ceremony and did an amazing job!
I think we were all a bit teary-eyed at the end of the ceremony.
See below for a slideshow of Vance & Shari’s wedding. The song, “From This Moment On,” is sung by my friend, Madison Eror, who was their amazing wedding singer! She surprised the couple by singing ‘their song’ after the ceremony. It was definitely a highlight and later that night they requested to have Madison record the song so they could play it with their slideshow. So I send a big shout out to Madi for doing such a great job!

Last month I worked with Nainoa Gibson, owner of I Am Fitness, to photograph images for his new website! It was so much fun working with Nainoa on this project to capture the look he was going for. Nainoa’s vision came to life in such a fun way and I’m so excited to share the launch of his website.
If you’d like to follow the I Am Fitness Facebook page, there are great fitness tips being posted all the time.
One of the models we worked with for this photo shoot was Brian Ikeda, of Designer Body.

Smith Family Reunion: Lanikai Beach
July 30, 2011 | Filed Under Family, Slideshows | Comments Off on Smith Family Reunion: Lanikai Beach
Family reunions are never quite complete without a few rambunctious children. Fortunately, we had lots of opportunities to play and I think the kids had a pretty good time exploring, jumping and running around. It was super cute to see all of the cousins playing together. I loved the bright, fun colors the whole family wore. Coral, pink and orange was serious eye candy against the deep, turquoise ocean.
A family reunion was a fun and memorable end to their time on Oahu. The wonderful Ann Jex and her amazing family is moving all the way to Maryland, which feels like a world away. After spending many beach days at Lanikai the past couple of years, it was a delight to capture their last memories in Hawaii here.
