Leslie & Sharon

Sharon & Les!  Good, long time friends of ours.  We were so excited to shoot their wedding at The Willows.  Beautiful bride, handsome groom, THREE fabulous dresses (American, Japanese & Korean) and a beautiful Hawaiian day!  What more could a photographer ask for?  Thanks for making us a part of your celebration!!  We love you guys!

Don't you just love backlighting?

Matt & Nicole

Nancy & I have been wanting to shoot another session at the Ewa Hawaiian Railway Park for years, so when Nicole asked us to do a Trash the Dress session for them, this was the first location that came to mind.  They let us do some really fun and creative things and the results were beautiful.  I thought it really fit their timeless, romantic style.  The Ewa side of Oahu really has its own small town character, and reminds me of visiting my grandparents in rural Pennsylvania, where a freight train ran behind the house.  It was the perfect backdrop for a beautiful couple.

The Okahara Family

We met the Okahara family at the Yelp Halloween event where we took these gorgeous pics:

Leila owns Kreativephoto, a really nice photo booth company.  If you're not familiar with the concept, (you know, for those who were in space for the last ten years or so), photo booths are set up at events like weddings, fundraisers, first birthdays and Yelp parties.  You go into the booth and 1, 2, 3 cheese!  Then Leila puts your photos on this really cute strip with the name of the event on the bottom.  The print quality that they use is really nice and the pictures came out FAST.  They were one of the most popular spots at the Yelp party, so I was really glad when Leila called to take family pictures with us.  They have a really sweet (and photogenic) toddler that they were a little worried might act shy, but Nancy got him out of his shell within a few minutes, and after that, he had as much fun as the rest of the family.  What a charming smile! 

Get in touch with Leila at leila@kreativephotobooth.com if you're looking for a photo booth for your own event.  She is really sweet and I'm sure they would love to take pictures at your next party!

Viernes Family Mini Session

The Ito's

     The Ito Family is back with a new edition!  They welcomed a baby girl into their lives last year, and this was the first time we've gotten to photo the whole family.  She looks like she's doing fine holding her own against her two big brothers.  Julie & Marshall, your family is alway so much fun to photograph!  We end up having a great workout by the time we're done.  Hope to do it again next year!
