Wow! What an incredible wedding experience! We were truly honored to capture Maya and Acyut’s two-day Indian wedding celebration at Ko Olina. From horses to surfboards and drums, each moment was truly unforgettable. Today, we are sharing highlights from their Baraat and Hindu Ceremony at Lanikuhonua. Stay tuned for a peek at their stunning reception at the Aulani in an upcoming post. A heartfelt mahalo to all the vendors who made this once-in-a-lifetime celebration possible.

Sharing these gorgeous wedding highlights from Kristen and Corey’s wedding at Loulu Palms Estate on the Ocean Lawn.. How cute are these two! I think some of my favorite photos are the one’s we took with the couple at the swing set they decked in flowers. It’s always so fun when our couple sneaks away for a quick playful and romantic photo session on their wedding day.

We’re celebrating love at John and Brandon’s Royal Hawaiian wedding! Their day was filled with unforgettable moments and surprises, and one of our favorites was their officiant. He surprised the couple in a custom made drag outfit, and had a heartwarming first look with John and Brandon before the ceremony. LOVE THIS SO MUCH. ❤️❤️❤️

We’re obsessed with Lauryn and Vincent’s tropical Four Seasons wedding. The ceremony and reception were held on the breath taking Ocean Lawn. Love a new tradition we’re starting to see where the couple symbolically braids a cross together during the ceremony - it’s a really cute way to incorporate their faith into the ceremony. And those gorgeous modern tropicals?…absolutely stunning! 🌺💍

These two are avid listeners of our podcast and incorporated the show into the wedding in some really hilarious ways. The signature drink was definitely a personal fav of mine. Congrats to one of my all time favorite couples .roxane and

Let’s do this! I have a goal to try and raise $2.4k+ for the Kākoʻo Maui Fund to help aid all the recovery efforts from the Maui Wildfires. I’m so grateful to all the couples and families that have already reached out to reserve a spot. Love to fill all the time slots! Donations for this shoot will be made directly to the fund by each participating family. Hoping to put my talents as a photographer to use to try and help out how I am able. Please share with anyone who is interested and please feel free to DM me on how you can help or get involved.

I’m holding mini-session to fundraise for relief effort on Maui. We will be scheduling 15 minute mini family sessions on Sept 3rd from 5:00pm to 7:00pm at Kualoa Regional Park. We are asking for donations of $300. Families will be asked to donate directly to Kākoʻo Maui Fund, a non-profit supporting Maui Relief Efforts and Native Hawaiian Advancements.

Our Story

Fine Art Wedding Photography – My Vision:

My vision is to create images that capture the essence of my couple: their love, laughter, joy, and style. My desire is to produce authentic, emotive imagery that encapsulate those relationships between the couple and their loved ones. My photography is inspired by natural and timeless imagery that reflect the true personalities and experiences of each couple’s wedding that can be enjoyed for years to come. I view my photography as a celebration of life. I strive to shoot the feeling of each particular wedding day so that my photographs will still hold their power decades later. In the end, I imagine that moment in the distant future when my clients are paging through their wedding album with their grandchildren and reliving that same love, laughter, and joy with them.

I prefer to photograph from inside the wedding, rather than as a detached observer. I am discreet and hidden when I need to be yet am directive when necessary, like when I'm gathering family members for a group shot. I like to think that my experience and personality adds a level of calm to the wedding day. My calm, fun, and easygoing demeanor sets me apart from other photographers. I believe my ability to genuinely connect and to get couples to relax in front of the camera allows me to capture real moments and candid images.
