How beautiful are these two?? Sunset Ranch is definitely one of my favorite locations to shoot at. The lighting is gorgeous, the view is epic and it provides a rustic feel, which I adore! I love the way the barn was decorated and I probably spent at least 1 hour just capturing the details. Thanks Pinky for having me!
For the tech junkies, about 80% of these were shot on film.
I have been dying to shoot at the sunflower field in Oahu for years and the time couldn’t have been perfect with this gorgeous couple! We shot a few days after Zach returned from deployment and it’s pretty obvious that they are meant for each other! The lighting was perfect, the scenery was perfect, the couple, amazingly perfect.
It’s beautiful to see two people in love, especially when both hold a special place in your heart. I’ve known Francis since high school and grew close in college, where he met the love of his life, Aki. I think what really drew us closer was the fact that we have one special thing in common–shoes (check out his sneakers). What an honor to have done their engagement photos but I’m so blessed to be part of the wedding party as well! Looking forward to the big day and once again, congratulations!
Kids really grow up quick. I still remember the day we took her home and how little she was and although she still is tiny, she has grown right before my eyes. Her personality is starting to show and all I can say is that I better start hitting the gym to chase away the guys (or start Caleb in weightlifting). Stay tuned for her 6 month portraits!
My wife and I have known this amazing couple for quite some time, in fact they were present the day I met my wife and have supported us throughout. I am so blessed to know two great people and so happy they have found each other. Thank you both for having me capture this special moment in your life!
I actually first met Tahiti when my wife and I were planning our wedding back in 2011. We attended one of the Wedding Cafe’s workshop, which was for cakes and Tahiti was performing. Long story short, we fell in love with her voice and booked her that day…and didn’t even find someone to do our cake that day. We’ve kept in touch here and there and when the wife and I actually have time, have seen her perform at various locations around Hawaii. I highly recommend her, and her singing partner, Jason Allen, for your wedding or any event.
As well-known as Tahiti is, Kyle has made his name known elsewhere. Kyle is a top 10 mixologist in the nation and can be found mixing up delicious drinks at Town. What a job, huh? As famous as these two are, they are the most down to earth people I know. I had a blast spending an afternoon with them and capturing their love. My memory of this session was when Tahiti started singing and I just wanted to stop being behind the camera and enjoy that moment. Thanks again you two!
Amy + Brian flew down from the East Coast for their 10 year anniversary and wanted some photos done of their favorite vacation spot. Amy is another talented photographer and you can check out her work here, but she can definitely work infront of the camera as well. You can’t even tell these two love birds are parents of 2 beautiful kids.
kelli + derek was actually the first couple that booked me for a wedding for the 2012 season and I’m so blessed they did. I basically knew them through my wife but got to really know them at our engagement session and throughout the year as we exchanged emails/texts/phone calls about their big day. The day was full of emotion on both ends and I’m so glad I got to witness best friends tie the knot.

I’m always nervous before a session/wedding but I was extra nervous before this session because Oliver is an awesome photographer and you can check out his work here. Cindy may not be a photographer, but she’s a wedding planner up in the bay area. After speaking with them, they started to loosen up and I really didn’t have to chime in and pose them–all their posing came natural, which makes for some awesome photos! Thank you guys for having me and I look forward to your wedding day!
For the techies out there, most of these were shot on film.
[...] shot Cindy + Oliver’s engagement photos a few months before their wedding as they visited Oahu to take care of wedding stuff. We kept in [...]
Sorry we missed it. good luck with your new husband!
