Montage Kapalua Bay wedding. Montage Kapalua Bay and it’s historic cliff house is one of the dreamiest venues I’ve worked at yet. The house was built in 1940 and on the cliffs of Namalu Bay with views of the Pacific Ocean, Moloka’i and Lana’i. Sunset here is especially stunning with the turquoise water shimmering in […]

Oahu Fine Art Wedding Inspired by the contrast of the rugged coastal beauty of the black lava rock with a large white bougainvillea floral altarpiece situated on a white sand beach, Hawaii wedding florist DESIGNS BY HEMINGWAY set about creating this beautiful inspiration. It was captured by SARA OLIVIA who tells us, “Hawaii’s coastline has […]

Hawaii Wedding Portraits. I can’t recommend post-wedding portraits enough. A wedding day rarely lends time to go to your favorite island spots, but once the day is done you can wear your wedding gown a second time without worry. Your wedding day goes so fast so I love seeing couples get to linger in bridal […]

Dillingham Ranch wedding.  Nestled in North Shore Oahu is a house filled with all the charm and essence of Hawaii. One almost feels taken back in time to the island in its raw beauty before the masses inhabited it. It’s one of my favorite venues because of this unique feeling it inspires. I knew I […]

Oahu Honeymoon Photoshoot. North Shore Oahu is something special. This sweet couple found the perfect bungalow to get away, and decided to do an in home lifestyle photoshoot to commemorate their time on the island. We had many adventures, but my favorite part was the days we relaxed and emerged ourselves into the Aloha life. […]

Tropical Hawaii Elopement. This shoot was the perfect pick me up for 2020. In a year where big weddings stopped being the normal, it shows that your style can still shine through even in a micro way. The pop of French Polynesian colors from mustard to coral just made me happy to look at, and […]

Santa Barbara Day Trip. I really didn’t know what to expect from Santa Barbara since the main part of my trip was focused on Santa Ynez Valley. As usual California has never disappoints, and this lively town is no different. What struck me most if how many thoughtful touches make every corner look so beautiful. […]

Bethesda Fountain wedding. This bridal shoot was very much inspired by color, something often forgotten in the world of white weddings. But autumn reminds us how beautiful it can be. We pulled an original rust-toned beauty from Leanne Marshall, the queen of colorful gowns. It paired with mauve accent pieces for a more soft and […]

Hawaii sailboat wedding. With so many kinds of destination weddings coming to Hawaii each year, we wanted to create an adventurous option for the sea swept souls. What could be more romantic than a sunrise sailboat ride to say I do? We even had a pod of dolphins come by to put on a show. […]

Sunstone winery wedding. Santa Barbara film photographer.  Sunstone Winery. This place has inspired me for years, so getting to shoot there was a dream come true. It is a venue that defines timeless style. I adored Lacy’s designs for this shoot because they weren’t over the top or flashy, but complemented the earthy and natural tones of […]
