Vanessa & Joe... Anytime...

We were standing at the corner in Waikiki waiting to start our shoot with Joe and Vanessa, when Kyle leans over and asks, "do you think they are excited?" As I was standing there thinking, "I hope so," in the distance I spotted a couple walking towards us hand in hand and instantly I was smitten with them.

Joe and Vanessa are an adorable couple, the subtle glances, the laughter, the kisses in between shots, that made for even better shots. The amount of fun they we had made them an absolute blast to shoot! Vanessa has an easy laugh and bright smile, while Joe is the laid-back, easy going type that when I said, "Joe pick her up and swing her," he not only did it but added a kiss and a lot of laughter. This instantly made me think how lucky am I to meet such amazing people and capture such fantastic moments.

It was so great to be back in Hawaii with the crystal blue ocean as the backdrop, my husband by my side doing what we love, and having an amazing couple to shoot. At that moment I felt truly blessed. Again we want to give a huge thank you to Tara of Pacific Wedding Guide for setting up this great shoot...

So it is with a warm heart, happy memories I am so proud to introduce to you, Vanessa and Joe....

"A Hui Hou..." (Until We Meet Again...)

The sun kissed the ocean as the breeze gently stirred and I was happy, content at peace. Our trip was amazing, we surfed, we snorkeled, we sat with the sand between our toes and the sun on our salty skin as we soaked up every ounce of Hawaii..

It was a great reminder in between all the emailing, the tweets and the business that is life, to take a minute and just be!! So cheers to frufru drinks, plumeria flowers, sandy toes and crystal blue water. Aloha can mean Hello, Goodbye and I Love You! So Hawaii, Hello and thank you for the amazing time, Goodbye and we hope to see you soon and I love you for the memories that you have given me...

"A Hui Hou!!!"

Aloha... Hello! & Aloha... I Love You!

Kyle and I are off to the island of Oahu for some R&R next week!  I went to college at HPU and along with some friends we are off to enjoy sometime in one of my favorite places.  I am super excited to show them all my old favorite college hangouts, favorite breaks and beauty of the island.

One of my favorite parts of Hawaii is the Aloha!  As many of you know it means, hello, goodbye and I love you.  Best of all it is the spirit that the people who live there embrace.  We were lucky enough to get in contact with Tara of Pacific Wedding Guide.

She has an amazing business and has been wonderful in helping us get in touch with some couples and set up some engagement shoots while we are in Hawaii...

We are so excited to say "Aaalllooooohaaa" to Hawaii and our new fabulous friend Tara.. We are excited to experience the Aloha of love between the couples we meet!   

 

Be sure and check back to see the full posts of the shoots!  Can't wait to share them!  

Aloha!

A Glance Back.. To Look Forward...

Yesterday we said goodbye to summer... well as much as you can say goodbye to summer when you live in Southern California. This summer was a busy one for Kyle, Chloe and I. We moved into a new place, worked on Studio 28.. a lot, did some traveling, and in-between it all managed to have some summer fun. BBQ's, great friends, lazy days and long nights, a surf in the morning a surf in the evening ahhhhhh summer..

We have set some big goals for the remainder of 2009 and the upcoming 2010.. we will definitely have our nose to the grindstones for the next few months to make things happen. Excited to see what the future holds but in the last few hours of summer we feel thankful for the great times, good friends and awesome memories!!

Cheers to more..!
