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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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.

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 […]

Charleston film photographer.  When I think of Charleston only one thing comes to mind and that is weddings because they have some of the best of the best in every vendor category. There are endless possibilities; from gardens to mansions to gorgeous restored industrial buildings. With all this at my finger tips I decided to […]

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. A photographer can’t ask for much more than the many epic beaches in Kauai. Seriously, it hosts some of my favorites in the world. Even when […]
