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 […]

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.

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 […]

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. […]

Maui elopement photographer. Honeymoon couple photoshoot on a cliffside in Maui during sunset hour. Oh Maui, how I love you. Those epic sunsets, that turquoise water, and endless rugged cliffs.

Oahu engagement photographer. Casey and Jenna planned their Hawaiian travels with the made-up motto “YOIHO”-You’re only in Hawaii once! They hired me to document their whole experience on Oahu. We mostly adventured and went for a more lifestyle feel, but made sure to set aside one evening just for a formal session to mark their […]

Kauai engagement photographer. Proposal in Kauai. To me a beach session never gets old. Don’t quickly rule out this classic when considering what kind of engagement photo shoot to do.
