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 [...]
Maui Magic-Michele & Derek’s Maui Wedding Photography
Aloha, Recently Michele & Derek, who were guest at the Four Season's Maui Resort, tied their Wedding Knot at one of Maui's popular beaches. We used the Maui Fours Season's property for Pre-Wedding images, which was an added bonus as they had no events that day. They were then whisked off ,via Limo, to their private beach location for their ceremony and sunset session. Afterwards, they returned to the Maui [...]
Haleakala Sunset and Star Gazing-Maui Photographer
Aloha, My daughter was back from College in Oregon this past summer for 4 weeks. I had the chance to share with her one of my favorite Maui activities. Haleakala crater summit is approximately 10,000 ft up where the air is amazingly clean and clear. Perfect for watching a sunset and then star gazing once dark . Even though we are in Hawaii it is still very cold 10,000 [...]

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 [...]

Oh Sunny Day- Pam & Galen’s Maui Wedding Photography
Pam & Galen are from Minot ND and always dreamed they would tie the knot here on Maui. They had a perfect sized support group of friends and family follow them to witness their special day on Maui. No one was disappointed as we had a gorgeous evening for all to share the love and support. John
Day Off…Well Deserved
Ok ... this week was busy for me: three major events to photograph plus working on 3 album designs as well as a large print order from a recent family sitting. I had yesterday off, so to speak, with no photo assignments. I must say that I truly believe that there are no coincidences in life- so while jamming on my work something inside told me to stop working and [...]
