AMOUR...an Elopement on the South Shores of Maui

Phillipe, Delphine and Diana Eden made the long journey across the globe from Marsielle, France to Maui, Hawaii. They all loved being under the warm golden sun that is found in Hawaii and the family expressed that there was something special in the breezes on Maui’s south facing shores. I told them it was the Aloha Spirit that can still be felt when everyone lands on the island of Maui.

Delphine & Phillipe originally wanted a ceremony in French and Susan with Aloha Weddings was dong her best to accommodate them. The couple settled on the soft, gentle delivery of Wai, an officiant & celebrant, who resides on Maui. Wai customized the ceremony to suit the couple’s cultural difference and it was a touching time for us all. The Maui backdrop always makes for gorgeous photos. The family had a sweet dynamic between them that can be seen in every photo. Merci to Delphine, Phillipe & Diana Eden for playing on Po’olenalena Beach with me under the Maui golden light. It was an unforgettable time.

A South Side Wedding packed with Love

Steven & Angelica hopped off the cruise ship when it docked on Maui to exchange their wedding vows. Their close friends & family were all able to join on that lovely afternoon at White Rock Beach. Angelica made sure the details were included that she wanted and the touches were worth it. Susan of Aloha Wedding Planning pulled all of the details together and Wai was the day of coordinator. Together those two deliverd a smooth experience for the Bride & Groom and all of the guests. There was an amazing musician and hula dancer woven into their ceremony. Rev. Kuya led their vows with lots of love & laughter. The group held a nice space and were blown away by the sunset that afternoon. I worked along side Brian with videography and we magically got through all of the shot list just as the sun dropped over the ocean. A huge congratulations to Steven & Angelica. I hope to see you all again on the beaches of Maui someday celebrating countless anniversaries to come.

Hello.... How's Everybody Now~a~days?

Hey there…. Just like everyone else, I’ve been laying low for about a year enjoying slower days and some much needed rest. I am happy to say that I am back on the wedding scene on Maui and picked up some help during my “quarantine” journey. Photography is definitely a passion of mine and when I get to photograph a wedding or a family session, it hardly feels like work. I feel happy and the highlight is connecting with new people and learning their stories. I have never had a steady second shooter and I’d like you all to meet Gabriel. He is the man in my life and what a talented man he is. He’s normally traveling the world singing songs with his band WOLFCHILD but with the Covid stuff going on, he’s been hanging out on Maui. I’ve been teaching him all the tricks I know with the camera and now he is joining me on my photo shoots. Here’s a sneak peek of us behind-the-scenes at our most recent wedding and the photos we got from the spots we were in. I hope to see all of your smiling faces out in the world real soon….
