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 [...]
Maui Wedding Vow Renewals
Happy Holiday's everyone and I hope you all had a FANTASTIC Thanksgiving. Yes, I did too! I got to go surf great waves at Maui's Honolua Bay which is one of the best waves on the planet. Recently, I have been shooting a number of wedding vow renewals and just wanted to share some of their love with you. It's so pleasing to see couples enjoying their time together plus [...]
Westin Maui Wedding Photography
Aloha to all ... we have had a fun, busy, and hot summer this year. Maui has been very lucky in that many of the predicted storms have tracked away from our island leaving us with awesome sunsets. This featured wedding was held at the beach side lawn of the Westin Maui Resort. It was a grand gathering of family and friends on a gorgeous Maui afternoon. Enjoy this [...]
Skies on Fire-Maui Photographer
Aloha, Back in the day of using Hasseblads to photograph weddings, portraits, and all I use to use a "graduated filter" to pull my skies down to make them look dramatic. Now days Photoshop can make these dramatic corrections, but there is always a trade off. Why do I bother to bring this up... well the other day I was reading an article on the use of graduated filters when [...]
Froman Maui Family Portrait
Maui Portraits are always fun and your family and friends will be so excited to see them. We have had lovely weather this spring and the Froman families session was no exception. The kids really liked incorporating one of my surfboards into their personal images too! Enjoy a few of my favorites from their many images, and drop me a note if you care to book as session.
Josh & Elise- Ritz-Carlton Maui Wedding-Part I
Recently, Josh & Elise had a fantastic gathering of friends and family to witness the tying of their nuptials at the Ritz-Carlton Kapalua. Guests were treated to a lively whale watch the evening before by the grooms mom with the weather, seas, and whales cooperated nicely. The following day everyone got all "prettied up" and they had a gorgeous afternoon for the ceremony and sunset. Dinner arrangements, as one would [...]
Pulles Maui Family Portrait
Aloha, Like the mainland, we too have been having our share of challenging weather with wind and rain. Time providing, it is usually best just to stick around for a few and see if it clears up. We got lucky this day and capture plenty of great memories both traditional and candid. Enjoy!
