Dan & Kahea ~ Olowalu Plantation House, Lahaina

Wednesday, August 27, 2008

I was privileged to work with Dan, Kahea and their families for two days. I attended their rehearsal dinner on Friday evening at Gerard’s Restaurant in Lahaina and on Saturday they tied the knot at Olowalu Plantation House. What an amazing location!! I had my dream team with me to help! Joanna came along as well as a new assistant Lacey. We had a blast shooting this wedding. It was awesome to have good helpers! Kahea was born and raised in the islands but moved to the mainland where she met Dan. They came home to the islands to get married. They had a wonderful reception right on the grounds with yummy Hawaiian food. it was a wonderful celebration of their love with a great group of family and friends. Congratulations Dan and Kahea! We wish you the best in your new adventures as husband and wife…

Chad & Sarah ~ South Maluaka Beach, Wailea

Tuesday, August 26, 2008

Chad and Sarah were married on Thursday, August 21st at South Maluaka Beach in beautiful Wailea. They have such a sweet story. I am honored that I was able to capture their day and tell there love story. They told us that they have been together for 4 years and decided on Hawaii for a romantic wedding with just the two of them. They told no one. Chad told Sarah it would happen soon but he didn’t tell her the date time or place. Every week her anticipation grew as Chad would bring home something else that they needed for a wedding. Sarah picked out a dress which she hid in Chad’s closet so no one would know. Chad planned everything. One morning Chad woke Sarah up at 4am and said “get your things… We are leaving today!” They arrived in Maui and were married the next day. You could see their excitement as the ceremony approached. Sarah kept saying “We are getting married!” They are so in love and it really showed through in their photos. They were natural and at ease in front of the camera and it was a joy to capture them. Thank you Chad and Sarah for having us be a part of your day. Congratulations! I hope that you are having a blast on the rest of your Maui adventures…

I am so excited to be working with a new assistant and 2nd shooter. She captured some amazing moments and gorgeous details of the day. Her name is Amanda and I hope to be sharing more of her images in the future. Thanks Amanda for all your help! She captured the next 4 images…

Enjoying the scenery…
