Luxury Wedding at 1 Hotel on Hanalei Bay

Luxury Wedding at 1 Hotel on Hanalei Bay, Kauai 

 Was so fortunate to travel to Kauai for this lovely wedding at The Luxurious 1 Hotel in Hanalei Bay! The couple was so sweet & the location of the wedding was literally steps from Hanalei Bay with gorgeous trees providing shade and adding to the majesty of the location! After the short ceremony and some family pics we headed upstairs for the cocktail reception. The spot where the reception was being hosted had this magnificent view of the ENTIRE BAY & STUNNING VIEWS of the HANALEI MOUNTAINS! Truly one of the most gorgeous venues to make memories & a start to a marriage!

Thanks J & C for the invite & Congrats to you both!

Luxury Wedding at 1 Hotel on Hanalei Bay

Flower Floral Love in Lahaina Maui

Gorgeous Lahaina Maui Wedding

Congratulations to Karen & Javier on the most Beautiful & Loving Maui Wedding a photographer could ever photograph!

What a privilege to be a part of this sweet, sweet wedding! With Karen & Javier both in the flower business in Florida, they had planned for their own wedding in Hawaii to be loaded with the most beautiful flowers & NO ONE was disappointed! I guess 30 boxes of flowers were flown in directly from South America just days before the event & the couple & their professional flower friends all jumped into the mix to process the flowers & create the masterpieces that they created!

And on the day of the wedding those masterpieces were everywhere! I literally have never seen some of the roses that they had made into centerpieces & bouquets & Karen shines even brighter holding hers! The wedding location was just above Lahaina (so despite the hurt that still exists from the Lahaina Fires) the celebration was in full force & mother nature provided soft clouds for the entire day,

EXCEPT at sunset where it burst out through the clouds creating ten minutes of extraordinary golden light & a joy on the the bride & grooms faces that was overwhelming!

(Story time!) So something happened I have never seen before & so genuine & beautiful & pure! For context, the bride has Mexican heritage! When we went to the beach park for sunset, we walked past this group of some Mexicans celebrating & they all cheered for the B&G! We went & did all the sunset shots & on the way back we had to walk past the group who all were having so much fun with the music jamming! Someone in the group yelled  for the bride to throw her bouquet & she said “YES”! All the ladies all gathered & Karen faked once & then threw her wedding bouquet to a total stranger. The girl who caught it was SO INCREDIBLY HAPPY & had a smile from ear to ear. Karen went & hugged her & told her to keep it. The girl was stunned! What a beautiful & selfless moment to give your wedding bouquet to a total stranger!

The rest of the wedding was equally stunning with amazing speeches by their friends & family, lots of happy tears & hugs as everyone celebrated. The B&G walked out in a sky of bubbles as they drove off at the end of the night!

Congrats to these two on such a gorgeous wedding to be a part of!

 

Enjoy! Tad

Ola & Steve’s International Olowalu Destination Wedding

Stunning Olowalu Plantation House Maui Wedding

Ola & Steve’s International Destination Wedding

Oh this was one super fab wedding to be a part! Ola had grown up in Australia & moved to New York for her job where she met Steve during Covid. It was then that her job concluded & she returned back home, but  her relationship was nowhere over as now it became an international romance. Despite the continent’s & oceans that separated them their relationship continued & here we are at The Always Stunning Olowalu Plantation House surrounded by ALL their family & friends who from around the world celebrate them. There was laughter serenading them as they popped the champagne & toasted everyone. Of course Maui’s Magic light also popped through the clouds & made for a terrific sunset​ & the B&G were soaking it all in! 

Congrats to Ola & Steve on a wonderful international wedding!

Sam asked & Amanda & said “YES”!

Sam had already proposed to his longtime girlfriend Amanda, but they waited to do their engagement photos till they arrived in Maui! They left everything up to me with picking the location & the time & I even helped give suggestions on what they were going to wear. With some Maui Magic Light creeping through the trees they were bathed in golden light and Amanda was loving it! Thanks to this beautiful location & some amazing light we got some stunning pics!

Get A Handle On Your Camera

Get A Handle On Your Camera

Thank You So Much for your recent purchase as I am deligheted to have you on the Get A Handle On Your Camera Team. 

Very convenient camera handle for pro cameras

Here’s some tips on using Get A Handle On Your Camera.

  1. There are two mounting positions on each handle. Try mounting your handle to camera to each posotion & see which position you prefer. Use the included screwdriver to tighten the screw to your mounting hole on the bottom of your camera. Do not overtighten, but make sure it is snug. There are two washers on the screw as well. If you change the postion of the screw, you might need to take one or both off to have it tighten firmely. Be careful to Not overtighten.
  2. Keep the screwdriver with your spare batteries
  3. When you need to do a battery change, loosen, but do not remove screw.
  4. Rotate the handle out of the way and replace your battery.
  5. Rotate handle back into position & Retighten screw.
  6. The leather grip needs to be conditioned periodically with saddle soap or a leather conditioner. Doing so frequently, especially in the first month of ownership will make the grip soft & supple in your hand.
  7. Using Get A Handle On Your Camera with small lenses all the way to 70-200 F 2.8 Lenses will be no problem. However, just use common sense if you are using really big lenses like a 300 F2.8 or larger. Obviously large lenses might need extra support as you are manipulating your camera.

Surprise Adventure Proposal

Surprise Adventure Proposal

Surprise Adventure Proposal on Maui

  Derek had reached out to me about planning his surprise proposal and wanted to do something special for his longtime girlfriend! We talked about a lot of different ideas & then settled on capturing the surprise & then going on an adventure session on Maui’s West Side. I quickly recommended that he get reservations at Merriman’s Restaurant & luckily he was able to get a table & reservation made. Him getting reservations at this amazing restaurant sort of dictated that we would finish on the rocks in front of the restaurant!
We communicated mostly by text & a few(calls), but were able to get all the details nailed down & the day finally comes & I am positioned in the perfect spot. Katrina was completely unsuspecting & they got out of their car & he positioned her exactly in the right spot, dropped to a knee with a ring in hand & popped the question. She was completely surprised & you can see the moment when she realizes that I am photographing the important moments. Afterwards we explored this gorgeous tropical forest then raced to get to the rocks in front of the restaurant for a terrific sunset. And let me say that the sunset did not disappoint! Was so much fun creating these images with these two lovers. After we finished he whisked her up to Merrimans for a romantic dinner spiced up with the huge diamond he gave her & the sound of breaking waves!
Enjoy the imagery!

Maui Wedding Photography

Creating Amazing Experiences & Gorgeous Imagery Everytime

Thank you so much for taking a look at my  Maui Wedding Photography Galleries. Being a passionate Maui Photographer for over two decades I have been refining my style & continuing to grow ever since photographically. Originally I started working at three prominent Maui Luxury Hotels, where you are quickly taught to go above & beyond in delivering exceptional service. This starts with being prepared for whatever task is at hand, anticipating the client’s needs (Even before the client knows he/she needs something), having a fantastic attitude & creating an experience that is unmatched! I have carried this Five Star Experience directly into my photography business!  By implementing these practices for more than two decades, I have honed in on making the experience as important as the quality of the imagery!
