Honolulu Vacation Photography

Grandma, mom and daughter visited Oahu over the summer to enjoy some quality time together. The young lady belongs on the stage - she was so full of fun and theatrics and kept us laughing through photo session. We enjoyed meeting these three lovely gals.

Destination Wedding on a Waikiki Catamaran

Dylan and Jessica chartered a catamaran for their wedding on the waters off Waikiki. Diamond Head, a Hawaiian sunset and the blue Pacific was the backdrop for their small destination wedding in Hawaii. This was the first time we had photographed a wedding on a boat and it was fun! Before the party started on the water, the couple wanted some photos on land. The sunset ceremony on the Kahala Kai was emotional and heartfelt. The groom had a ceramic wedding ring because of his work. The twenty some guests enjoyed heavy pupus (the summer rolls were yummy), champagne and delicious cupcakes made by the talented Vikki of Sunshine's Cake Creations. Congratulations and best wishes to Dylan and Jessica!

Outrigger Canoe Club Wedding, Waikiki

The Outrigger Canoe Club, a storied oceanfront private club in Waikiki, was the venue for Tom and Jane's sunset wedding. The ceremony, officiated by Rev. Yukio Hamada, was attended by about 80 of the couples' close friends and relatives. The buffet dinner, catered by the Club, was amazing. The couple enjoyed a breathtaking Hawaiian sunset during their first dance, bouquet and garter toss. Speaking of garter toss, the lucky guy who caught the garter was delighted to find money attached to it! Congratulations and best wishes to a very gracious couple. Thank you for letting us be part of your celebration.
