This was my first Oregon wedding. Kristen and Jordan happened upon my Instagram while vacationing in Hawaii and were gracious enough to fly me out for this beautiful day. I’ve always been a fan of Oregon. Some of my favorite photographers are from the area. I was ecstatic to finally shoot here. And nothing disappointed. The landscapes, the weather, the people… everything exceeded my expectations. But it was really Kristen and Jordan that made this day most memorable. They took everything in stride, always finding a way to laugh, enjoy every second, and have fun. I found myself smiling so much ..read more

I couldn’t go to Oregon without my wife. It’s her favorite state. If we weren’t living in Hawaii, we’d be living there. So when I booked a wedding near Portland, she had to come. We wish we could’ve done a lot more, but even for the few days we were there, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Great views, good food, and a fun stay in a tiny house. Here are some memories… All shot on Kodak Portra 400 ..read more

Olivia + Brandon | Higuera Ranch Wedding | California Wedding Photographer

Brandon and Olivia have been together for seven years. They met doing Drum Corps with the Blue Devils (if you don’t know what that is, please go down the YouTube rabbit hole - you won't be disappointed). After several nationwide tours, several moves, and a pandemic, they were finally able to tie the knot with all of their friends and family present. It was a party to remember! I’d never shot a wedding in San Luis Obispo before. I’d actually never BEEN to San Luis Obispo. So this was a beautiful and fun trip. My wife and I came in only for a couple days. It wasn’t nearly long enough. We certain ..read more

Claire + Jordan | Mokoli'i Adventure Session | Hawaii Wedding Photographer

One of the very first couples I shot out here in Hawaii was Claire and Jordan. It was several years back - they were still going to school. So much has happened since then. They’ve gotten married, moved to Utah during COVID, then they came back to Hawaii for a bit, and now they’re heading back to Utah again. We did this shoot a few days before they left. I’m always looking for any way to do an adventure session with couples. There’s something so fun and meaningful about creating an experience out of your shoot. This one was a MAJOR adventure. First, you have to kayak out from Kualoa Regional P ..read more

Larissa + Kai | Moana Surfrider Wedding | Hawaii Wedding Photographer

Larissa and Kai had to change the date of their wedding three times due to COVID, but you’d never know, because their attitude from the get-go was always just to smile, take everything in stride, and keep moving forward. I think that’s why their wedding was so fun, relaxed, and special. Moana Surfrider is a beautiful location for getting those clean and modern looks. Tchin Tchin is an incredible little location for an intimate downtown rooftop vibe. But the best part of this day was spending time with Kai and Larissa’s families. Some of them came from the mainland. Some of them were local. It ..read more

Jo + Nikhil | Chateau Montelena Winery Proposal | California Wedding Photographer

Nikhil and Jo had been doing long distance for a while before this day. And I mean a WHILE. Six years. And this wasn’t an east-coast-west-coast relationship either. This was a Toronto-Australia long distance relationship. Suffice to say, they were more than ready to be together. Before they did that though, Nikhil wanted to make the proposal special. He reached out to me close to eight months before popping the question. He knew exactly what he wanted. He deliberately chose the date because of its meaning to him and Jo and simply asked that I show up and capture it. The location was an obvious ..read more

Krista + Josh | Sunset Ranch Wedding | Hawaii Wedding Photographer

Like so many other people during COVID, Krista and Josh needed to push back their wedding by a year. They knew they wanted to celebrate with their ‘ohana so they patiently stood by until they had a chance to party. And man, was it a party! Sunset Ranch is one of my favorite venues on the island. It’s on the North Shore of Oahu and get its name from the beautiful sunset view you get all year round. You’ll see it towards the end of the gallery. This wedding day was no exception. But my favorite area of the venue is the ceremony location. Check out how beautiful the trees are! It’s a backdrop unl ..read more

Alice + Shane | Yokohama Bay Engagement Session | Hawaii Wedding Photographer

This was hands down one of the most fun shoots I’ve done. Alice and Shane were down to do anything - run and chase each other, carry each other, jump into the water. I fed off of their willingness to try new things and we caught some amazing moments! Not to mention the sunset on this day was absolutely gorgeous. But then again, it usually is on the west side of the island. Yokohama Bay is the farthest west beach you can get. It’s arguably the best view of sunset. I expected a warm and beautiful golden hour. What I didn’t expect was the incredible blues that would show up right before. The juxt ..read more

Kelly + Isaiah | Dillingham Ranch Intimate Wedding | Hawaii Wedding Photographer

I’m reminded why I love to photograph weddings after days like this. Kelly and Isaiah had a small, simple gathering of just their close friends and family at the beautiful Dillingham Ranch. They had to make some changes due to COVID-19, but they were always so kind and gracious at every step of the way. What’s truly amazing is what they had to go through to get here… Isaiah’s father and brother both tragically passed away in a span of a few years. His relationship with his mother and friends were strengthened in this trying time. A little while later, he met Kelly. You can see the joy she give ..read more
