Randy & Marie’s wedding at Westin Moana Surfrider | Hawaii Destination Wedding Photography

Marie booked me even before she was engaged! And I’m so glad she did because her wedding was beautiful.

Could she be any more gorgeous?

Their emotional ceremony was held at the Westin Moana Surfrider, a beautiful resort in Waikiki.

I love that Marie allotted time for her and Randy’s portraits. And they sure knew how to work the camera!

And a nice family portrait with their sweet daughter, Mia.

Randy & Marie met through a dance troop. And their first dance showed it. Sometimes, when the first dance is choreographed, it loses raw emotion. Theirs didn’t.

A collage of the wedding details:

Thank you, Randy and Marie, for the honor of photographing your fabulous wedding!

Stay tuned. I have much more to blog!

George & Quinn – KMCAS Officer’s Club, Kaneohe, HI

Theirs is a perfectly simple story. Girl moves from Texas to Hawaii for school. Girl and boy get introduced by mutual friends. They get to know each other through facebook and emails. They finally meet in person, and less than a year later, they married! Beautiful, huh?

And what a start to their wedding day! This was the view from outside the Lanikai beach house where Quinn, the beautiful bride, got ready. A perfect precursor to their nuptials, I would say!

I turned around, and here’s the view into the house!

It poured hard the night before (see the wet spot?), and I remember waking up in the middle of the night, praying for good weather in the morning. God sure answered with beautiful blue skies and white, cotton candy clouds!

Father-daughter dances always get me…

Of course, there needs to be a mother-daughter dance, too:)

For more, see the slideshow:

Thank you, George and Quinn for letting me be part of your beautiful day! I wish you the best in your marriage! Hope to see you again soon!

Family Portraits at Kit Carson Park – Escondido, CA

How cute is Emiliano? Look at those beautiful eyes!

The park offered so much to explore. He did not have time to just sit on his parents’ laps!

But he needed his dad’s height to see the moon and stars on the ceiling.

Thanks, Anna, Martin, and Emiliano for the opportunity to capture your sweet family.

Kona Kai Resort Wedding – San Diego Wedding Photography

Here are some images from Tom & Ute’s wedding that I photographed with Nathan Petty.

Nathan left me with Ute for a little while so I went and hid behind the bushes. Kidding! My friend, Susie, calls this my “super secret spy-on-your-subject shots.”
