Aihara Visuals Blog » ~ Maui, Hawaii

I met Crystal at the Maui Bridal Fair back in July and was so happy that she chose me to capture her and Robert’s special day. We started the morning with a few getting ready shots of Crystal. Her hair was beautifully done by Dan Sanchez and her flawless makeup by Liz of Maui Makeup Artistry. Crystal looked stunning in her Maggie Soterro Gown. They tied the knot at the Maui Tropical Plantation surrounded by a lovely group of family and friends. Pia gave a wonderful ceremony filled with a few tears of joy and lots of heartfelt laughter. Congratulations Crystal & Rob! It was such a pleasure to be able to capture your day. I wish you two many more years of happiness in your new adventures as husband and wife. Much thanks to Joanna for all her help…

I was so happy to meet up with the Kitchen Family a few weeks ago in beautiful Kaanapali. Andy is a wedding photographer in California..I totally admire his edgy photojournlistic style and was excited to work with his family while they were vacationing in Maui. It is always a bit nerve wracking to photograph another photographer and just as awkward to be a photographer in front of the camera but these guys were naturals and so much fun to photograph! We only spent a little time on traditional family portraits and then I was able to capture them having fun at the beach and playing in the water. Thanks so much Kitchen Family for spending an afternoon with me..I hope you enjoyed your time in the islands…

It has been a while since I have posted on my blog!

I have so many new things to share! I am hoping to get caught up in the next few weeks. A few weddings, portraits & some random fun things.

I am still running the Bridal expo special..until August 31st. You can see the details here

Wedding season is keeping me on my toes. Having the boys home for summer was fun and exhausting as well. We went camping in Hana the last weekned of summer. We had a blast. It rained a lot but that’s what Hana is all about..it is a rain forest!  Nakoa tried surfing for the 1st time while Nakana bodyboarded like a pro…

So for now here are a few images from our summer camping trip. Don’t miss the video at the end of Nakoa surfing

Here is a quick video taken of my son Nakoa and his first time Longboarding at Koki Beach in Hana…it was taken with mt 5D MKII..

I have been trying to update my website a bit. I decided to write a wedding FAQ. I hope that I have answered the most common questions rides and their families have. You can see the FAQ on my website under ” Wedding Q&A ” or by clicking here
I will be adding new images to my website in the next few days along with some new testimonials under the heading ” Kind Words” on my website.
