Maui Love-Maui Wedding Photography
Aloha from Maui, I had the sweatiest couple last weekend that chose to have a morning wedding. The colors of the ocean at that time of day are always so vivid, and we were blessed with lighter winds. After their wedding vows they went off and had a awesome breakfast, plus enjoyed the rest of the day watching whales and checking out Maui. What a great way to start your [...]
GoodDay Mate! Beautiful Australia
Aloha, I was recently down under in Australia with my daughter and wanted to share some of the images from our trip. We meet in Sydney (she flew in from California) and we spent 10 days in Sydney at the Marriott Circular Quay by the harbor as well as at my good friends house in Manly. What a fun country and so much to do! The weather was kind of [...]
Maui Family Portraits-Barton Maui Vacation
Aloha and Happy Holiday's (Mele Kalikimaka), Recently, Linette & Anthony were back on Maui with their children (Ava & AJ) and stayed at the Montage Resort Kapalua. What is so great is that back in 2002 I photographed their wedding at the Westin Maui Resort in Kaanapali. I was really great to meet their children and catch up with them both. My how time flies when you are having fun! [...]
Maldives Surf Trip 2016
Aloha and Mahalo for checking me out, I was finally able to take another surf trip this past September with my best mates from Maui, New Zealand, and Australia!

She then landed a fantastic internship position at Edelman Communications & Marketing Firms Portland [...]
Wave Sunset in Kaanapali
Aloha, and what a beautiful sunset we had last night. I took a break from my office work just in time to see this sunset from the lanai. The dramatic cloud reminded me of a wave with the white water washed in red tones. Great way to end Tuesday. John
Love is Everywhere-Sunrise Haleakala
Love this image (yes, I added in the moon). Notice the couple in the middle gazing lovingly into each others eyes while waiting to see the sunrise. I wonder if he is proposing? It's always so quite and peaceful on the summit which really helps you understand the love the Hawaiians feel for this land. If you decide to go experience as sunrise remember it's going to be around 30 [...]
Matt & Dalila’s Maui Portrait
Aloha, Matt & Dalila were recently on Maui to both Celebrate their recent Engagement as well as get some creative & fun pictures for their "Save This Date" announcement. We went to one of my favorite beaches where the weather was perfect that night. As they were new to what a photo session involved I made suggestions and helped them choreograph both playful and loving interactions on the beach. [...]
Cool Atlanta
Aloha, I recently took the time to further expand my photographic ideas plus techniques, and made the trek back to Atlanta Georgia for the 2016 Imaging USA PPA Convention. First I must say it was cold! and boy was I not prepared for the cold (my weather app said would be in the 60"s). I had brought cloth accordingly, and unfortunately it hovered around 40 the whole time. Lucky, all [...]
