Matt & Amber tied the knot on a bright blue morning at Makena Cove. An intimate group of family and friends looked on as they said their I do’s. The crashing waves made for a gorgeous background. After the ceremony we walked to big Makena Beach for a few photos then back to the cove for some portraits. The day turned out so lovely. Thank you Matt & Amber for having us there to capture your special moments. We wish you many more beautiful days & fun adventures in you life together as husband & wife.

Josh & Rina were married at Olowalu Plantation House on a breezy, warm afternoon. I was so excited to photograph their special day.. I have known Josh & Rina & their families for quite a few years. There is nothing better then being with your friends on the happiest day of their lives, getting to photograph it too..well that is awesome! Their engagement session was epic..it was my 1st underwater shoot, so I knew their wedding day would be fabulous. I arrived as Rina was having her make up done out on the lanai of the house..such a beautiful bride! We started with some detail shots & getting ready..I loved her sparkly pink shoes! Josh was busy greeting guests outside as they arrived and making sure all the preparations were as planned..everything looked perfect. Rina and Josh both seemed so calm & ready for their much anticipated day to begin. A fun group of family and friends looked on as Josh & Rina said their vows, exchanged rings and finally became husband & wife. It was such a sweet ceremony. After a few family portraits we walked around the grounds for some romantic photos of the two of them. It was so easy to capture their fun & vibrant smiles..they made my job easy. After their entrance into their reception Rina danced a surprise hula for her new husband. Such a sweet moment. Everyone enjoyed a delicious dinner, watched a slideshow and danced late into the evening.. such a great day! Thank you so much Rina & Josh for having me photograph your wedding day! I know you two will have many more adventures & a ton of fun in your life together & I am so happy that I was there to capture the beginning =)

Errol & Ksenia were visiting Maui on their Honeymoon & met up for some romantic honeymoon portraits at Makena Cove. These two were so great to work with…not only are the a gorgeous couple but Ksenia is a model so she & Errol have had a bit of practice =) The evening was warm & sunny with a calm ocean. We started off with a few portraits at the cove then we walked to the 3rd entrance of big Beach for some different scenery.. I really love Makena! There is such sweet golden light that shines through the trees as the sun gets lower.. I couldn’t have ask for a nicer evening. We walked back to the cove to capture the sunset light and a few fun portraits before the sun set. Thank you Errrol & Ksenia for spending the evening with me. Congratulations again! I hope you have many more fun adventures as husband & wife in the years to come..
