Family visits mean lei-making, good food and lots of time adventuring in the sunshine. A trip none of us will ever forget!

If this day represented anything, it was this: beautiful things come out of hard places.

Chris & Jennifer Elope at Kualoa Ranch

When Jenn contacted us about photographing this, her reason was simple: so their “three precious gifts could see and experience what love ought to be.”

Jenn & David are Married 20 Years: Vow Renewal on the North Shore of Hawaii

The best part of this month was without a doubt sharing the news of little Baby K with our parents.

Life Lately: May 2018

When we asked them what they were going to do to celebrate after, they said, “Get dinner! Something cheap!” Meaning musubis and ramen – cheers to that 🙂

Scott Proposes to Iris by the Pacific Ocean

Meet Duo, who planned proposing to Ru from his office in China down to the smallest detail of picking up a peony bouquet, her favorite. And Ru, who designed (!!!) her own blue silk dress and dabbed little sparkles by the corners of her eyes.

Duo Surprises Ru with a Proposal at Makapu’u

They’ve been married for only a year and had a little baby girl in that time so they wanted to re-dedicate their marriage and what it means to wake up every day and choose the person lying next to you. Love isn’t all unicorns, rainbows, and butterflies – no, it’s choosing and committing to the same person day after day, month after month and year after year.

Anna & Nicki Rededicate their Marriage at Sunset Beach

We said we felt a change coming and that was highly accurate. We’re a little surprised and so, so, so excited!

Life Lately: April 2018

Rajiv is the man, he managed to plan this entire proposal from New York and keep it a secret from Romee for about six weeks! 

Rajiv Proposes to Romee at Makapu’u

March was a fairly quiet (and rainy, rainy, rainy) month around here. Lots of waking up before the sun and lots of introspection. We both have the sense we’re being prepared for something, just not sure what. Guess time will tell 🙂

Life Lately: March 2018

Just something to keep in mind when you’re seeing examples of everyone else’s “perfect” marriages and feel like yours doesn’t measure up.

Life Lately: February 2018

It was a lot hotter than the weather they’re used to in Canada but nothing a napkin and a shirt change couldn’t fix for Justin, ha! We loved these two’s zest for life and adventure. The longer we were together the more relaxed and goofy they became as their true personalities shined through.

Justin and Julie are Newlyweds in Honolulu

Life lately in Hawai’i: waking up to the roosters crowing and bull frogs croaking in our backyard before the sunrises, enjoying the 20 yard walk to the ocean to watch the morning wake up, climbing rocks and stuff on our weekly hikes, hanging with friends in the North Shore tide pools, snorkeling in the clear water, and spending whole days getting sunburnt in the big blue 🙂
