If you spend more than 10 seconds with Janie you will discover her gregarious personality. The girl loves to smile and laugh. Ozzie is her perfect puzzle piece. While a bit more reserved than Janie (ok everyone is more reserved than Janie) he is still the life of the party, immediately welcoming into his circle and the first to laugh at Janie’s jokes. They just fit.

This one was special since I’ve known them for a couple years now. The easiest way to put it is that Janie + I share a best friend (Danielle). Who also helped coordinate this wedding. When I heard Janie + Ozzie were thinking Hawaii I was so excited. The whole day went so great. It was REALLY hot and humid but that didn’t stop anyone from dancing the night away. One of my favorite memories is when Danielle surprised Janie with a blow up dolphin during the reception. Janie’s love for dolphins is ALMOST as big as her love for Ozzie.

I rarely get to meet my clients prior with destination weddings but Melissa + Brian made a special trip to San Diego for their engagement photos! It was fun already knowing their fun personalities at the wedding! It was pouring rain every day surrounding their wedding but the actual day was perfection. You can’t miss Brian’s strut down the aisle either – that was one excited groom! I also love how included Brian’s 3 kids were in the day!

Today is the one year anniversary since Yue + Ben got married…and I today is the day I realized I never blogged them! Perfect time to make up for that! I met these two the day before their wedding for a fun trash the dress session. They were ready to get in the water! We started in the pouring rain in the Iao Valley and ended up exploring south Maui all the way down to La Perouse Bay and ending up jumping in the huge waves at Makenna Beach. I had a blast taking these pictures with them and getting soaked myself!

I’m so excited share Debi + Jeff’s wedding photos from the gorgeous Olowalu Plantation House in Maui! I always get to know the families a little better with destination weddings and it was no different with these families! Jeff + Debi are so much fun to hang out with. And laid back, a perfect attitude for Maui! Fun fact: I got my first ever bee sting during bridal party portraits. On my toe! A very nice EMT masquerading as a groomsmen took good care of me and cleaned/bandaged me up!

Debi + Jeff opted to do their trash the dress photos prior to the wedding – Debi had a different dress of course! These two were up for any ideas I had. Abandoned old building? Sure! Climb on these slippery rocks? Ok! Jump in this water with all these rocks? No problem? We found out how hard it was to get in and out of a rocky beach with a wedding dress! We ended the evening jumping in to the hotel pool for some more underwater kissing! 😉
