Finding the perfect location to shoot is half the battle. To make my long story short, my little Suzuki got stuck in the sand! Thank God for the locals who help pushed my little tonka toy out of it’s misery. And thanks to Tiffany+Ryan for being so adventurous. I can’t wait to shoot their wedding at the end of the month!
I had such an amazing time with this beautiful couple. Having this much fun might someday be illegal! I can’t wait till I shoot their wedding in September. Thank you Lynn+Damien for having me. See you very soon!

So cute!
Here’s a quick sneak peak of a recent engagement session. I’ve had the honor of photographing Melvin’s (my brother-in-law) best friend Henry and his fiance, Kim. This was such a fun engagement shoot as they were totally open to shoot at a few cool locations. Thank you Kim & Henry for being such an amazing couple. Best wishes on your upcoming wedding!

And Kevin’s speech went something like this….”everything’s beautiful, so beautiful, today was beautiful, you’re beautiful”…and I totally agreed.

What a wonderful reminder of an amazing day in Hawaii…on a cold and snowy/wet/slushy day in Connecticut(no school)!
Love to Kevin and Beth and wishes for a great birthday,

these are nice photos, and what a lovely couple
What supposed to be a day out with the family became an exploratory photo shoot. Here are just some random images that were shot throughout the day. Hope you enjoy my pure randomness.

My BABY girl!
This little collage is dedicated to my wife on this Valentine’s Day. These are just some precious random moments of our daughter from within the last 6 months. She is definitely growing up really quick and becoming the little lady of the house.

I love you honey! Thank you Daddy! This is the bestest V-Day present ever!!! Yes, better than the 2 dozen roses!!!
This wedding was photographed last year of May 2009. From what I have been told, Luana Hills were planning to end it’s wedding services/reception. We that being said, this was my last wedding at this amazing venue. I am a bit sad that such a venue with an amazing backdrop will no longer be available but I am glad that I was able to shoot there just one last time with this amazing couple. Thank you Theresa and Shane!

Hey Caris! Thanks for the note. And YAY, perfect timing for Valentines Day! Thank you for having me! LOL regarding Alex’s reaction. You should of seen MY reaction. LOL. Good times and good memories.
The bride in BLUE rocks! And the groom too…

Thanks Frank! We got the pictures last Friday and it was the perfect Valentine’s present. We’ve had such a blast re-living that day. The photos are stunning and we just can’t thank you enough for the memories.
P.S I think Alex’s reaction to the ice cream sundae bar might be my favorite

what a beautiful and simple wedding! i am in love with all the decor colors!! and i like that she wore blue–pretty
Hannah and CJ’s simple but stylish wedding inspired me throughout the day. Their ceremony was situated in the heart of Waimanalo and the reception was followed at Waikiki. They had the best of both worlds from the simplicity of hawaiian country living to a classic but modern hawaiian surf theme. Close family and friends being together topped it off on making it the perfect day for this amazing couple. Congratulations Hannah+CJ! Thank you for having me be part of your special day!

I can’t wait to see the whole spread. I’m sure you captured a lot more beautiful images. Thank you for making my daughter’s wedding special and unique. It was a very simple and laid back ceremony, yet you make it so perfect in your photos. You helped make this memorable moment alive not only to Hannah and CJ but also to their family and friends. It is such a blessing to witness my only daughter get married. I will cheerish this memory forever and beyond. God bless and more power to you.

Turtle bay is known for it’s picturesque scenery surrounding the property with the perfect combination of surf, sun, sand and lush green foliage. It’s always a treat for me when I’m on the north shore photographing a wedding. And having an amazing couple to photograph such as Rajina+Mark, is like the cherry on top. Thank you Rajina+Mark for letting be part of your amazing day!

Hey Rajina! Thanks for the comments. Thank you for having me. You, Mark and your family was so awesome to work with!
February 10, 2010 - 8:12 am
love it! thank u so much frank..amazing as always
I’m going through a phase were I’m looking through all my archives. Here’s a wedding which I have photographed over a year ago (12/28/08). What makes this wedding so special and worth blogging was the positive energy and love that embraced all of us throughout the entire day. The day started with pouring rain but that didn’t stop the fun, go-lucky-happy person Gracie is. But after being positive and a little prayer, the weather cooperated letting the blue skies peak through the heavy clouds. As you may already know, Central Union Church is an amazing church known for it’s history and antique architecture but for their reception, (which was held at the Hilton Hawaiian Village) it was something I have never witnessed before. The decor completely blew me away! It was definitely a photographer’s playground. Thank you Gracie and Kyle for letting me be part of your special day. I am blessed to know you both and be part of your circle of friends.
