Katie & Marcus had been together for 5 years, so they came to their favorite place in Hawaii, Kualoa Ranch! Also known as Jurassic Park, this iconic mountain range is probably some of the most gorgeous backdrops in all of the Koolau Mountains 🙂
Oh wow, what a month May was! We traveled to Ohio for Gabi & Ross’s Chicago wedding at Revolution Brewery, spent time with family, took a little date the night before their wedding, and then headed straight back home. Only to leave the next day for the Big Island and document Kirsten & Kyle’s wedding at Anna Ranch 🙂 Things got interesting here as Seea came down with the flu 🙁
Ryan had just proposed to Kathy the day before in Honolulu near Ala Moana Beach Park! They made the trek up to the North Shore to have some engagement photos before making their trip back home to LA. They were so smitten for each other and were blessed with some golden light setting behind the Koolau Mountain Range just beyond the beaches off the cliffside of Laie Point 🙂
April was a special month as we celebrated the life, death & resurrection of our beloved Savior & Lord, King & Friend, Jesus! We spent Easter with our church family camping out at Mokuleia Beach Campground, sleeping in cabins and under the stars in hammocks; even Seea made the trip in a little pack n play 🙂
We started this month by heading to the Big Island to photograph Becca & Brandon’s wedding in Kona at Daylight Mind Coffee company (yummy coffee and yummy views). We also spent some time swimming in the deep aqua Big Island waters with some Yellow Tang fish and cruising on the black sand beaches of Kona. Then it was off to Ohio to visit with family, introduce Seea Grace to her aunts, uncles, and cousins for the first time and catch a little Midwest chilly weather 🙂 As soon as we stepped off the plane, the sleeping baby in our arms whimpered because it was so cold; I’m pretty sure we did the same!
But blogging is a great way to reflect on the goodness of God and how He gave us so many gifts in the mundane and head-scratching days of all this crying. In the moment, it seems as if it will last forever, but as we look back, we miss it and so hopefully by looking back, we can look forward with more joy, more grace, and more presence in the present (no matter how chaotic it may be in baby-land).
