Penn and Ryan found their perfect Hawaiian beach wedding venue at the Tiki Moon Villas. This was the perfect spot for their friends and family to join in with them and celebrate their marriage together. With family and friends flying in from around the world, this was the perfect place for all of them to converge. Everything lined up for the perfect day. The weather was beautiful, with a little mid-day showers just to keep things interesting. But it is often said that rain on a wedding day is a blessing and should be seen as an auspicious beginning to your life together.
Javier had told his girlfriend that he had planned a couple’s photo shoot on the beach during their vacation here in Hawaii. We met on the beach and we went into our “portrait session” mode. We had planned to set up a couple of fun shots walking on the beach as we took advantage of the bright overhead sun.
Mirjam and Jurgen’s simple beach wedding at Waiʻalae Beach Park was perfect. Patricia with Nani Weddings set up the perfect destination elopement on the beach - she always does. The two were planning on having their Hawaiian beach wedding in the afternoon just before sunset with a couple of their friends. And after traveling all the way from Switzerland, the beautiful day was the perfect way to say i-do.
We started out the evening with some family photos on the beach. The typical “we are on a vacation in Hawaiʻi” photos. And while we were all set up for photos, we decided for a quick wardrobe change and switched into engagement photo gear. I think the timing of the evening was perfect as the setting sun gave us some great colors and light to work with.
On a cool winter afternoon in Hawaiʻi, Penn and Ryan decided to take a walk in the park for a fun engagement photo session. Kakaʻako Waterfront Park is a great location with rolling green hills and a beautiful promenade right on the waterfront.
One year ago, I had the opportunity to take maternity photos with Emily and Don during their vacation here in Hawaiʻi. This year, they planned their trip again but this time with baby Michael along for the ride.
Chris had planned a romantic vacation for his girlfriend, and promised that it would be a trip to remember. And with the proposal he was planning, it definitely was. We had picked out Papaʻiloa Beach on the North Shore as the location for his proposal because it is a very beautiful beach.
At first they were a bit worried about the prospect of having family photos taken, mainly due to the challenges they have faced in the past with their autistic son. All she asked was for "one good family picture".
Jariya wasn't looking for a large ceremony or an extravagant wedding on the beach. When it came to planning her nuptials, all she wanted was an intimate ceremony on the beach. One of her favorite spots on the island is this little cove hidden in the back of the Ko Olina Resort.
Sayeeda planned her family vacation in Hawaiʻi while her husband was here in Honolulu for work. What better way to remember every moment than through family portraits and family vacation photography.
Lisa and Kevin planned a family vacation to Hawaiʻi to celebrate their wedding anniversary and coordinated a very intimate ceremony on the beach to renew their wedding vows.
Jason reached out the week before arriving in Hawaiʻi. He had planned a trip with his girlfriend and decided that the moment would be right. After walking through the details of his proposal, we assisted him in choosing the right location. We had planned out everything and now the rest was up to him.
Both Sydney and James were so easy going. It is easy to see how much they truly love each other. I love it when you don't have to pose somebody and they natural beauty shines through in every photo. Congratulations Sydney and James!
Maternity photo sessions are a lot of fun, especially when the couple brings along cute little baby items as props for their photos. Tiny little slippers, tiny little hats. It's just exciting knowing that in a few months there will be a little human adding to their family.
This shoot was especially exciting to work on, not only because the couple was so much fun to be with, but because it was the first time that we collaborated with Reveal Hair and Makeup.
Often times the best photos are found when we deviate from a set plan - so when Paradise Cove didn't work out we weren't too disappointed. The short walk around the corner took us to a little more secluded area, Milo Cove. The intimate setting was a perfect for an engagement shoot.
