Jamie & Sean Wedding | Wailua, Kaua`i

How fortunate we were to travel to Kaua`i and shoot this lovely wedding on the Wailua River.

Lihau & Kellen Wedding | Nu`uanu, Oahu

We were so happy to celebrate with Lihau & Kellen at their beautiful wedding in lush Nu`uanu on Oahu.  Both are talented musical artists, forming the duo Kupaoa.  Just by listening to their music, we could tell they were perfect for each other even before meeting them.  Congratulations Lihau & Kellen!

Tony & Diep Wedding | Saratoga, California

We were so honored to travel to Tony & Diep’s wedding at the amazing Mountain Winery in Saratoga, California.  Bev and I enjoyed our stay nearby in San Francisco and celebrated our 4th Anniversary sailing under the Golden Gate Bridge.  It was so beautiful.  We can’t wait to be back again soon.  Thank you Tony & Diep!

… and the groom decides to steal our flash out of Bev’s hands, trying to convince us to drop our camera gear and dance with them. ;)
