Wow! What an incredible wedding experience! We were truly honored to capture Maya and Acyut’s two-day Indian wedding celebration at Ko Olina. From horses to surfboards and drums, each moment was truly unforgettable. Today, we are sharing highlights from their Baraat and Hindu Ceremony at Lanikuhonua. Stay tuned for a peek at their stunning reception at the Aulani in an upcoming post. A heartfelt mahalo to all the vendors who made this once-in-a-lifetime celebration possible.

Sharing these gorgeous wedding highlights from Kristen and Corey’s wedding at Loulu Palms Estate on the Ocean Lawn.. How cute are these two! I think some of my favorite photos are the one’s we took with the couple at the swing set they decked in flowers. It’s always so fun when our couple sneaks away for a quick playful and romantic photo session on their wedding day.

We’re celebrating love at John and Brandon’s Royal Hawaiian wedding! Their day was filled with unforgettable moments and surprises, and one of our favorites was their officiant. He surprised the couple in a custom made drag outfit, and had a heartwarming first look with John and Brandon before the ceremony. LOVE THIS SO MUCH. ❤️❤️❤️

We’re obsessed with Lauryn and Vincent’s tropical Four Seasons wedding. The ceremony and reception were held on the breath taking Ocean Lawn. Love a new tradition we’re starting to see where the couple symbolically braids a cross together during the ceremony - it’s a really cute way to incorporate their faith into the ceremony. And those gorgeous modern tropicals?…absolutely stunning! 🌺💍

Kawika + Roxane. We had such a fun time photographing and filming their wedding at Lanikuhonua. These two are avid listeners of our podcast and incorporated the show into the wedding in some really hilarious ways. The signature drink was definitely a personal fav of mine. Congrats to one of my all time favorite couples .roxane and

Our Story
Fine Art Wedding Photography – My Vision:
My vision is to create images that capture the essence of my couple: their love, laughter, joy, and style. My desire is to produce authentic, emotive imagery that encapsulate those relationships between the couple and their loved ones. My photography is inspired by natural and timeless imagery that reflect the true personalities and experiences of each couple’s wedding that can be enjoyed for years to come. I view my photography as a celebration of life. I strive to shoot the feeling of each particular wedding day so that my photographs will still hold their power decades later. In the end, I imagine that moment in the distant future when my clients are paging through their wedding album with their grandchildren and reliving that same love, laughter, and joy with them.
I prefer to photograph from inside the wedding, rather than as a detached observer. I am discreet and hidden when I need to be yet am directive when necessary, like when I'm gathering family members for a group shot. I like to think that my experience and personality adds a level of calm to the wedding day. My calm, fun, and easygoing demeanor sets me apart from other photographers. I believe my ability to genuinely connect and to get couples to relax in front of the camera allows me to capture real moments and candid images.
Cinematic Storytelling – My Video Team:
Storytelling is extremely important to me, and my videography team films and edits each wedding to reflect our couple’s big day and their unique personalities. My videography studio is comprised of a small team of filmmakers experienced in capturing sound, motion, and most importantly emotion. My filmmakers tell each wedding story using the most advanced cameras and aerial equipment. My team also uses telephoto lenses to capture the ceremony and reception as unobtrusively and discretely as possible.
A Modern Touch - My Photo Booths:
My photo booth is an open-air style. We can easily fit a group of friends or family into an image without being confined to a small space. My photo booth uses high quality cameras, professional lighting, and an elegant range of backdrops to provide high quality 4x6 prints in a range of customized designs.
