Maui Wedding Photography Extraordinaire
Creating Amazing Experiences & Gorgeous Imagery Everytime
Having been in the hospitality industry for all these years I have found I absolutely LOVE connecting with my clients like they are long lost friends, and it happens all the time with my easy going friendly manner. Especially with larger weddings, where we are connecting on the phone & social media way before the wedding. I find you can really cultivate a friendship long before the big day & then when it finally happens it seems more like a reunion of friends! I LOVE WHEN THAT HAPPENS! Before the pandemic it happened with Bianca & Jordan whose wedding I shot at Sugar Beach Events & when we met we were hugging and we were laughing uncontrollably with in five minutes. Seriously thehttps://www.sugarbeacheventshawaii.com/ Best!
Of course the day of the event has it’s structure created by the coordinator & meeting this timeline is so important for all of the vendors involved. This is where experience comes in & knowing of the timing of sunset & getting everything done on time, BUT also being able to create magic in a short amount of time with out creating pressure on the clients. This is a learned skill that I have been refining for years! (If you have questions about the timeline of your event form a pro photographers perspective please call me & lets chat!) From years of experience I have shot list of must have images in my head that I will definitely work on capturing, but I am always open for your shot list of must haves. After all, this is your wedding & your vision of your wedding is what you are hiring me to capturing! This is where that good communication comes into play so we are both on the same page & creating imagery that is meaningful & poignant! I shoot in a style where sometimes I try to be an observer capturing unseen moments & other times helping to direct as need to set shots ups. In addition I shoot natural light as much as the conditions at that moment dictate or using off camera lighting to help modify harsher lighting as needed. Being able to quickly set up & create imagery in both styles makes me versatile & quick to get imporatant shots & move on to the next.

He asked and she said "YES!"
Congrats to Tiffany & Patrik! Getting up at three in the morning both went on a early morning hike up in the west Maui Mountains where, with no one around he asked her the BIG question and She said YES! Later that evening I met them for the planned proposal shoot at The beautiful @fsmaui where I got to spend time with this sweet couple enjoying their new status of "Just Engaged!" Was super fun getting creative with them. Afterwards they wined & dined at Ferraro's under a maui moon! Happy for them both!❤️💍🥂👍🏼

"How cool would it be to grow up and tell your kids you married your high school sweetheart?" Congrats to Katie & Louie whose first date was in high school & and then they went their separate ways for awhile & then reconnected & voila- now their married! Love their story & had so much fun creating imagery of their beautiful wedding day. What a dream to marry next to pacific blue surrounded by adoring family on the perfect evening. Just before sunset we whisked up to Gannons Restaurant to celebrate the day with cheers & deliciousness!
Thanks for having me part of your day!

Happy Aloha Friday !🤘🏼
Interestingly "Aloha Friday", a now-common tradition of celebrating the end of the workweek by wearing more casual attire on Fridays, initially grew out of an effort to promote aloha shirts in the 1960's by banks and local businesses. Now we celebrate the end of the work week when Kimo Kahoano recorded a song called “Aloha Friday” and many Islanders begin the weekend singing the cheerful tune. No matter where you are located you can always celebrate Aloha Friday!
"It's Aloha Friday, no work till Monday!"
So get there and enjoy your Aloha Friday
