I was covering a wedding in American Samoa when Danielle and Matt they got married in Hawaii. We did this the very same day after I arrived home from American Samoa and I didn’t think I would be up to taking their pictures? But Danielle and Matt made the session so fun that I had totally forgotten that I was tired from the plane ride.

I was very excited to be photographing my first wedding outside my home state of Hawaii. Hawaii and American Samoa are similar in many ways, but I was really captivated by the beauty of this island and the kindness of the local people. Congratulations to Florence and Sitau! Thank you for sharing your wedding day with me.

This was my first time covering a wedding here at Paliku Gardens at Kualoa Ranch on the Northeast end of Oahu, Hawaii. If you like lush green mountains and a view overlooking the ocean, then this is the place you’d want to get married.

Jenn and Joe are such a loving couple and you could see it on the day of the wedding. I had a fantastic time at their wedding, especially during their portrait session. The one thing that I’ll never forget is the groundkeeper closed the gate on us during our portrait session at a particular location on the venue. The groundskeeper had already gone home for the day but luckily there was someone present who knew the code to the lock on the gate.

I had to leave early that day because I had to fly out to American Samoa the following day to cover a wedding. Thank you Jenn and Joe for sharing your special day with me.

I’m happy to announce that The Wedding Cafe has chosen my company to join their wonderful establishment at the Ward Warehouse in Honolulu, Hawaii. I’m very honored to be a part of a company with an outstanding reputation. Not to mention the credibility of the featured vendors. Again, thank you to The Wedding Cafe.

The morning started a little rainy, so the hotel staff at the Hale Koa Hotel in Waikiki, Hawaii, decided to take the ceremony
indoors. Later that day, Sandra and Jason ended with day with a gorgeous sunset on the beach just outside the hotel.

Thanks guys for allowing me to capture your special day.

A fun and loving couple, I had a lot of fun working with Leah and Bill on their engagement session. Both are from Hawaii but moved to Seattle where most of their family and friends now reside. They will be getting married in Hawaii in a few weeks and I can’t wait to be there to capture their special day. Thanks again guys!!!
