One of the most joyous wedding days I’ve ever been a part of! These two were smitten together the entire day???? Smitten in the mitten. When we thought it was gonna be another overcast Michigan day, we ended with one of the deepest sun sets I’ve seen on Lake Michigan – purples, yellows, blues, and […]

I am honored to be this close to such moments. Hannah & Keven got married in her parents backyard where they had their first kiss 12 years ago! Nothing short of an amazing celebration???? Their first look happened on a dock in front of the apartments where Keven lived when they first started dating and […]

This was one of the most intimate weddings I’ve ever photographed and here’s why… Emily & Carl planned to get married the previous year, but between COVID and her father having cancer, they pushed the date back to 2021. It seemed to only enhance their wedding day emotions & sweetness – her dad was in […]

Don’t rush! Let everyone get lined up & ready Have someone in charge of getting everyone in order and ready (especially after there’s been some drinks) Have people form two lines and leave about a 6-8 foot gap between the lines Make sure everyone has bubbles, a sparkler or two, confetti, lantern, or rice Don’t […]

Jon & Trish’s wedding day was perfect timing, literally. They had it just before the COVID-19 pandemic hit the islands! It was filled with joy, celebration, tears, and many laughs. The little kids stole the first half of the “show” with their cute little outfits and sweet smiles.

Denise & Adam got married in La’ie on the North Shore of Oahu. They started their day off by seeing one another; alone and at the banyan tree next to Turtle Bay. It was simple, it was tender, and very intimate. You’ll see the anticipation in Adam’s face below as Denise approached closer to him and he heard the crunch of her steps. After their small ceremony, they wanted to take a little “road trip” up the North Shore to stop by some of their favorite spots together.

We had the unique privilege of spending lots of time with Rachel & Alex on their wedding weekend. They started their celebration off with a rocky drive and short hike to Bridal Veil Falls  then headed to High Pie Pizzeria for some grub and time with their closest family and friends. Alex’s dad and brother made a […]

After hiking something crazy like 100 miles out in California, Pete decided it’d be a good time to propose to Libby! 

Meaningful photos shouldn’t live in pixel form on Facebook or hard drives. 

Nothing about Amy and Dan’s elopement was a production: it was filled with simple, sincere details and meaning – right down to the 18 guests there.

Her dad married them with a ceremony so meaningful that even one of the groomsmen cried.

These two snuck from California to Oahu to tie the knot & decided to tell their friends & family after.
