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.

hannah+cj: private estate – waimanalo, hawaii

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...

gracie+kyle: central union, hilton – honolulu, hawaii

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).

This wedding was shot over a year ago? You’ve set the bar over year ago. Bravo!

lan+donovan: private estate – niu valley, hawaii

Another blast from the past. It’s been almost a year and half ago when Lanovan tied the knot. It was just recently that I reconnected with Lan (Fighting Eel) at a birthday party (Sophia – Linh’s daughter) and that struck me to power up my archives and check out their wedding photos. I can easily...

fiya+chris: waialae country club – honolulu, hawaii

A blast from the past. Every once in awhile I like to look at my past archives and reflect on my couple’s weddings. It’s been almost a year since Fiya and Chris got married at the Waialae Country Club. I can almost completely relive their beautiful day. It was a windy day and it’s started...
