Michelle & Phil – July 23rd, 2011

Here’s the full post of Michelle & Phil’s awesome wedding at Sunset Ranch!  From Michelle’s adorable daughter Aubrey, to the awesome couple themselves (here’s their engagement session), it was an absolute pleasure to photograph.

And finally, I just had to share this photo I took of my husband/second shooter, Ed, with his buddy Phil.:)

Roxy & Matt – June 25th, 2011

Last month I got to photograph the wedding of two of my former UH Art Department classmates at the beautiful Hale Moli’i at Kualoa Ranch. This artistic duo designs eco-friendly T-shirts for their company, Vers Hawaii, so of course they had a fantastic DIY wedding, designing the decorations, stationary, and favors themselves. Roxy’s aunt even made her dress and veil for her! The couple’s family and friends were so fun to hang out with, we had a blast! Congratulations to Roxy and Matt!

Michelle & Phil Wedding Preview

My dear friends (whose engagement session is here) got married last Saturday at the beautiful Sunset Ranch, and I’m so excited about these photos that I started editing some while I sorted! I have 2076 total photos narrowed down to 750 at the moment, and here are a few samples!

SO much more to come soon…I’m excited!

PS. I’m a bit behind on blogging…currently have three weddings besides Phil & Michelle’s to get posted, including one of my photo partner Mike Carino and his bride, Jenna! I love photographing weddings, but I especially love being there for my friends on their special days!

Meet Zoe!

Meet Zoe, my two-and-a-half year old niece who I just met for the first time! She lives in Colorado with her mom, my cousin (but in Hawaii all small kids call the older relatives ‘Aunty’ and ‘Uncle’, so I’m calling Zoe my niece), but was visiting Hawaii accompanied by her grandmother, so I met up with them at Kapiolani Park for some fun photos.  Zoe is so talkative and full of energy, and doesn’t like posing for photos (though she loves taking them with her toy camera!), so I mostly let her run around and play while I snapped photos of her. Enjoy!

Natassia & Mark – May 28th, 2011

Natassia and Mark, from the previous engagement session post, had the most fun family and friends surrounding them for their wedding day.  Everyone was so full of energy and character, Ed and I had a blast taking photos of everyone! This post is a bit different from my usual traditional shots, because I wanted to share all the fun images of the people at this wedding, especially the bridal party.  From the church wedding to the bouquet and garter toss at the Halekulani Hotel, everyone was awesome in front of our cameras, and I loved it.  Hope you enjoy looking at these photos as much as we did taking them!
