June 27th, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------- 20 Reasons to get up at sunrise~Dawn and Puna's engagement session |
So, Dustin and I got up at sunrise a couple of weeks ago for Dawn and Puna's engagement session. I already love sunrise, and with a bride named Dawn, how could we possibly do anything else? : ) These guys were such fabulous models and were so awesome to work with, they made my job easy. |
|
And Dawn is so beautiful, my camera was doing happy dances ; p |
|
|
One for the moms.... |
and then it was time to turn up the temperature a bit! |
|
Puna, you are a lucky dude! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ah, the fishing poles! So, these 2 are a crazy fish catching couple, and Puna actually proposed in the same spot we were taking the engagement photos, on a fishing trip! |
So, you know I had to get all cheesy and cute about it! These guys were great sports, and I love this shot : ) |
AMAZING SKY |
|
Thanks guys, I can't wait till the wedding in January! |

June 19th, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Cori and Jason Engagement Session |
I met up with Cori and Jason at the Ali`iolani, quite a change of scenery from my normal beach scene! I had a great time with them and with the cool environment and architecture~ |
|
|
|
The columns are pretty cool, and inspired me to do some fun things in black and white. |
|
|
|
|
|
maybe my favorite shot of the day, a candid actually. Seconds after we took this, the guard made them get down (I am always getting people in trouble). While I was getting my camera set up, Cori was adjusting Jason's tie and I snapped this quick one. Glad I did ; ) |
|
ok, so I totally made them do this! Jason looked so handsome in his nice shirt and tie, I couldn't help but be inspired to be a little silly. Cori, hopefully you love it and think it is as cute as I do! (if not, call me and make me take it off the blog, and no one will be the wiser ; p ) |

June 3rd, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Seattle Model Shoot ; ) |
I spent a wonderful Saturday afternoon this past weekend photographing my beautiful supermodel friends amidst Acres of Iris Fields. We had an amazing time playing with lights, new lenses and fierce posing! |
Shary is my best friend and favorite supermodel (and she wanted me to let all the other photogs out there how much she LOVES to model, and that she can make herself available for anyone else looking for such a fierce and amazing model!) |
Shary has her hair done by Jake at Vain. |

Stunning supermodel #3 Amanda |

Fabulous supermodel (and florist) #4 Amoreena |

Flowers by Amoreena at Midnight Blossoms (Amoreena, if your website is live, please send me the address so I can post the link!) |

I rented a couple of lenses from Glazers Camera. We don't have a large camera store or rental center here in Hawaii, so I took advantage at Glazers. What an amazing store, it actually consisted of 3 different buildings and they carried everything my little photographer's heart could ever desire! I will admit it, I went to the store and rental center 4 times in my 7 day stay! This shot was taken with the amazing and unique Tilt/Shift lens. |
|
|
Something a little different! A further take on the trash the dress concept. We had such a fun shoot, and decided to get even more supermodel and fierce for the end of the session : ) We couldn't resist adding our own sense of drama to the already dramatic landscape and sky. Don't worry ladies, hiring me doesn't mean you have to do this to your dress! Although....if you are feeling a bit wild and creative....just let me know ; p |
|

|
I love laughing ladies!!! |
|
My favorite shot of the day! This and most of the other portraits were taken with the other lens I rented, the 85mm F1.2L. It is a pretty incredible lens, and is now on my to buy list! |

May 21st, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Amanda and Scott Wedding |
Amanda and Scott were married at Shipwreck Beach in Kauai. The ladies got ready at The LIttle Grass Shack, and the reception was at Plantation Gardens Restaurant in Poipu. It was a gorgeous day of blue skies, love, family and friends. Ali flew over to Kauai with me and we had a blast photographing Amanda and Scott's wedding! |
|
|
Simple moments like this are what makes the getting ready portion of the day so fun for me. Amanda slipped into the other room (and I stalked her like the sneaky photographer that I am) to call Scott one last time before getting her dress on. |
Love the details, nothing like a little Jack Johnson to set the mood~ |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We were blessed with a beautiful Hawaiian blue sky and ocean~ |
|
|
Amanda, just hanging out and looking gorgeous ~ |
So, I think these guys thought I was a little ridiculous, but hey, I'll do a lot for a good photo : ) |
A few of my faves from our quick portrait session before we headed over to the reception venue. |

|
And my favorite, the late night romance portrait session. I have so much fun stealing away with my couples at the end of the night for a little private time, and the photographs are always so moody and wonderful! |

May 17th, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Lynelle and Ryan Wedding |
Lynelle and Ryan were married on March 22, 2008 at Dole Cannery Ballrooms. I had Ali along to assist that day, and this is one of the many details that she captured~ |
I love this classic wedding day image. Cosmo, uneaten breakfast and the 'Thank-You' list : ) What you don't see in the background is the red-bull! |
Lynelle's beautiful dress. It was really simple and elegant, with a splash of red, and I loved it~ |
|
some more classic imagery (these guys made my job easy!), the last minute multi-tasking before the ceremony. |
|
Ryan looking dapper! |
Final dress and bow check! |
I'm not sure if you can see in these smaller images, but Lynelle is crying! You know I love the wedding day crying. |
And of course Ryan couldn't miss out on all the crying fun! You know I was crying too, I can't help myself, it is totally contagious to me~ |
|
|
Good Signs! Ignore the ugly buildings and the fact that I snapped this through the limo's window. Gaze instead upon the awesome rainbow blessing their day~ |
pensive bride... |
and happy bride! |
|
|
|
I loved this light, and had a good time playing with some beautiful colors and sunflares and sillouettes. |
|

|
party time! |
