Aaron & Kim

I shot Aaron and Kim's Bridal session in Makena prior to their Feb. 23rd mainland wedding. They had a fun and lively session and came away with a lot of awesome images to show everyone at their reception. After an hour of shooting and then waiting for sunset shots we had finished the session... or so I thought. Driving home I saw the bright purple neon lights at a nearby shopping center and asked Aaron and Kim if they were up for more picture taking. They were game so we pulled up into the parking lot and shot a bunch of cool images to add to their bridal collection. Beautiful images + happy people! Congratulations Aaron and Kim!

Happy Valentines Day! Lucky & In Love!

Jennifer and Tim are not only a beautiful couple- their love and passion for one another definitely shows! I love it when couples are willing to do whatever you suggest..something different...non-traditional. We shot on the beach, then got shave-ice (that's what we call Snow cones in Hawaii) and did some evening shots next to the store-fronts. I loved how the images turned out! Click on the show and let it upload (about 10 sec).
