Kimberly + Carlos | engagement

Kimberly and Carlos are some of the sweetest people I've ever met - we had such a great time doing their engagement pictures. We even had a pretty nice day at the canals, considering how hot it's been lately. They'll be getting married in November and we're looking forward to it!

Heather | rock the dress

A few days after her wedding, we went down to the beach at Makapu'u Point to do a "rock the dress" session with Heather. It was awesome!

Janaye | bridal

I can't believe my littlest sister is married!! I have 3 younger sisters and Janaye is the youngest - for some reason it's just extra surreal when the "baby" of the family gets married. Janaye and Brady had an amazing wedding this past weekend at his grandfather's farm. I'll be sharing some pictures soon, but for now here are some of her bridal portraits. We started off at the Chandor Gardens in Weatherford and then raced the setting sun to a field.

Heather + Daniel | wedding

Those of you who haven't met Heather are totally missing out. She's sweet and awesome and fun, and cracks me up on a regular basis. Over the course of the past couple of years while she's been assisting us at weddings, we've become good friends. So we were psyched to have the chance to shoot her wedding in Hawaii! And of course we like Daniel too - and they're perfect together.

The ceremony was on the island of Oahu, on the beach featured in the old movie "From Here to Eternity," with the Halona Blowhole shooting water into the sky in the distance. If that's not a romantic location for a wedding, I don't know what is. Of course it was absolutely gorgeous, and when all of Heather's details were added it was completely perfect.

Getting ready at the very cool and unique Hotel Renew in Waikiki:









Birdcage veils are hard! (But oh so totally worth it...)



Heather giving me Eyes:











Ready to go get married!



Waiting to be picked up:



Some of Heather's wonderful details (she has a minor obsession with yellow and gray):



Did I mention the treacherous rocky mountainside we had to walk down to get there? Heather gets serious props for making the descent in a wedding dress:







An overall of the ceremony, with a few tourists watching from above:







Darek captured this super sweet moment:











They shared a moment "alone" together immediately after the ceremony:



Love the flowers!



A shot of everyone who was at the wedding:



The umbrellas were so much fun!



Hopefully Daniel won't kill me for posting this, but I just thought it was too funny not to share (It was really freaking windy):



Daniel really wanted to stand in the ocean:



Crazy Honolulu traffic cut into our portrait time (second only to LA, seriously!) but we still got some good stuff!



You can see the blowhole in the distance:























Funny story. Daniel actually forgot to bring his ring to Hawaii, so they picked up this temporary green one in Chinatown:





Climbing back up the hill:



Heather and Daniel, congratulations a million times over! Thanks for the opportunity to shoot your amazing wedding in Hawaii!

Everyone else, check back soon for photos of her "Rock the Dress" session when she actually went for a little swim in the big ocean in a wedding dress!
