Earlier this month, photographer friends Rachel (Merge Weddings) and Amy (Ardent Photo) flew far ways over for a visit to the Big Island. We all went on a fun hike/photoshoot down the Onomea Donkey Trail through a rainforest. I always dreamed of doing a bridal shoot here, so this was the perfect opportunity. It’s just magical and so much fun shooting along side such talented wedding photographers.
Kanoe, a beautiful local model was willing to join us on such short notice. She did an amazing job.
Shooting just for fun really is refreshing. Thank you Kanoe!

Kimberly and Chris are talented photographers, so you can imagine how honored we were when asked to cover their wedding. It was a little intimidating… Chris is a seasoned commercial photographer and Kimberly runs her own wedding photography business Kimberly Kay Photography. Chris also helps Kimberly shoot weddings and they do beautiful work together. Even Kimberly’s sister is a professional wedding photographer! Man, luckily they were all very down to earth and super friendly/cool… it was so easy to work with them.
Not often do you see guests carrying a 5D + 85 1.2 lens! *drool*
We ran off to get some intimate portraits…
Kimberly & Chris, thank you so much for trusting us for your special day. Also, thank you for treating us like guests. We had a great time at the Lu’au… and the food was so ono! We hope to see you at WPPI!

Karen of Karen Tran Florals (San Diego) asked us to photograph a trash-the-dress session with her husband Russ as they vacationed here on their first anniversary. Karen is a talented artist, so it was an honor that she chose us to photograph their special time together. They first renewed their vows on the beach. So sweet! You should see their actual wedding — it was even featured on WETV “Beach Weddings”. Beautiful!
