Happy 4th of July Weekend
Aloha America, It's a very festive weekend on Maui with plenty of people out camping, surfing, and sightseeing. I will be shooting a wedding this weekend and Merriman's for my fun. We had a great little fireworks show here in Lahaina that packed everyone into front street. I took this image from up on the hill and added the moon. Kinda fun- John
Haleakala Sunset-Summer Solstice
Aloha, I recently went star gazing up on Haleakala summit this past June 21st (Summer Solstice). The drive up was awesome with so many spectacular view options it seemed like I was stopping every mile or so. If you want to see the vastness of our universe this is a must do, and AMAZING is an understatement for the experience. We bundled up in our sleeping bags (very cold) and [...]
Delaney Maui Wedding Afternoon-Photogrpahy
Aloha and Yes it's another beautiful day in Paradise, Weddings on Maui are usually held on a beach or a resort grounds at what is considered the best times of day: Early morning or Sunset. Sometimes though, in order to pack in as much fun as possible to there day (say maybe a Luau later), an event is set for 3-4 pm in the afternoon. Yes, it can be hot [...]
Murray Maui Family Portrait-John Pierre’s
Aloha from the sunny tropics ... Maui has had a good stretch of sunny, still, albeit hot weather recently. Great for photography (i.e.- hair, dress, etc.) but warm. Luckily, a couple of fun summer swells has been gracing our south shores recently which is great to cool off in. Karen and Jason were back on Maui, with the whole family this time, so I set up another beach session [...]
Lunar Eclipse Maui Style
Aloha, I just had to share this ... I was wondering if I would get a clear shot as that night the winds were howling and the clouds and rain were making it so you would have literally 5 sec.to squeeze off a few shots and run for cover. Good fun though and love the effect. I think that is Saturn just above and to the right of the moon [...]
Maui Wedding Photographer- Martin & Cynthia’s Maui Wedding
Aloha, I love the small intimate weddings that pull out all the stops. We had a beautiful day to celebrate Martin and Cynthia's Maui wedding nuptials. The Westin Maui did a fantastic spread with awesome flowers, table decorations, and a decked out tent to die for. The beach side location had music softly drifting thru the air, and the ocean was a magnificent shade of blue. We ended up doing [...]
Maui Family Portraits-Mar Family Reunion on Maui
Aloha, Recently Kevin & Cheryl were back on Maui, and this time it was with Cheryl's extended family. I was thrilled to get their call requesting another family portrait appointment and meet her side of the family. They expressed how happy they were with Kevin's family session and that they just had to do it again with Cheryl's. Their daughter (Ava) was now almost 2 years older. I must say [...]
Maui Family Portrait-Pohl’s Maui Session
Aloha from Maui, Recently the Pohl family visited Maui from their southern California home. Wendy knew this vacation would be a perfect time to update all their family pictures. We all met at Kapalua Bay for a sunset session and Mother Nature was an awesome participant. We had beautiful soft light in the beginning and a spectacular sunset for the end of our session. Below are a few of the [...]
