Laura & Mark Wedding | Kona, Big Island of Hawai`i
August 10th, 2009 — Kona, Big Island of Hawaii

Totally a super awesome way to get married!!! We can safely say we’ve never shot a wedding anything like this. Three canoes/boats were involved!













Hi, I’m James Rubio, canoe paddler… and Laura, you are a great photographer. Thanks!

Onomea Rainforest Bridal Shoot with Kanoe
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!
