A beautiful Hawaii beach wedding at Waimanalo Recreation Area. The amazing decor and coordination by Exquisite Hawaiian Weddings.
Photography is so much more then a job to me. It's a passion that has consumed my life for as long as I can remember. I have always felt a commitment to capturing the beauty in this world, and it is the people who surround me that make this world so beautiful!
When I'm not taking pictures I am spending time with my husband enjoying all that living in the tropics has to offer, hiking through rainforests, swimming in waterfalls and scuba diving with Kaimana Divers. I spend lot's of time trying to think up new ways to green up my company and household, learning new ways to cook (and eat) healthy and growing tomatos in my backyard garden. I believe that it's possible to build any dream into a reality. And that belief is what has gotten me to where I am today, doing what I absolutely love, in paradise.

April 26, 2012 - 11:06 pm - very cool shots!!
Put this one in the dictionary under “paradise.” I mean seriously, does it get any better then this?

“We’re not really good at getting our picture taken” Tammy tells me. Then she immediately launches into dancing, frolicking and general hamming for the camera while Jeff looks on with a kind of quizzical adoration. Needless to say, they did just fine…








I can’t wait to shoot Tammy and Jeff’s wedding next month at Loulu Palms with Hawaiian Island Wedding Planners. They are such a fantastic couple – full of energy and personality!

“Just pretend I’m not even here.” I said. Words that I often say when I shoot the bride and groom. But this time, Diane turns to look at me, “Pretend you aren’t here?” “Yeah just enjoy each other and forget about me.” I say off-handedly. So turning to Michael, she says tentatively “will you sing?” He takes his new bride in his arms, under a blue sky and swaying palms, high school sweet hearts parted once but now found for eternity, they dance, and he sings to her.
