I’m blessed to work alongside amazing wedding photographers.  Last year I did a lot second shooting for Geralyn of Hokulii Images.  If you’re getting married this lady is amazing.  She’ll definitely make your wedding memorable.  Here are some of the shots I took of Charmaine and Jr.  Many blessings to you as you are already into your 2nd year of marriage.

I had a great opportunity to photograph the Beachfront Oasis Estate on Oahu.  It’s the perfect location for your wedding or event.  The wonderful Karine France-Matsumoto of Seasons of Life Wedding and Event Planning, LLC invited me and I’m am so grateful.  She did a wonderful job coordinating a mock wedding, party, and fashion show all held at the Estate.  When I walked onto the property I could not believe Karine along with Shilhi Seibel of Passion Roots created the perfect medley of colors and textures.  It was the perfect setting to place a photographer.  Luckily there were a few of us there to photograph every little detail.

All week it rained. It was a Friday and Erica and Dave were to renew their vows on the North Shore. Miraculously about an hour before we were to meet the clouds went away and blue skies appeared. The beach looked stunning in the late afternoon sun.

Erica walked onto the beach and she was beautiful in a vintage off-white dress.  The same dress her mother wore when she got married.  Her husband Dave so cool and composed surrounded by all women.  They have 3 beautiful daughters.

Instantly I knew they were just madly in love with each other.  They smiled and giggled like they just met.  It made my day and my heart smile seeing them so happy.

There they stood on the beach perched on the rock looking at each other and vowing once again to love and respect one another for the rest of their lives.  It’s the perfect way to leave and remember Hawaii.

Simple yet elegant was the way Michelle and John decided to get married. It was perfect. Although I can say “no stress” I’m sure Michelle would say differently. It just had a different feel than most weddings. No drama. Everything just moved a long beautifully. The reception was great. John made the crowd laugh and laugh. Congratulations Michelle & John. Thank you for letting us capture this beautiful moment for you.

Update: I’ve added their slideshow. I couldn’t upload the hi-res slideshow because it was too big.

Of course a party is not a party until the crowd gets up and does the electric slide:)
