The week before Easter and Love is in the air! We have had a couple of great weddings this last week. The first was on Thursday with Kathy and Alex out at Secret Beach on Kualoa Ranch. This wedding was for Dawn Nash of The Romance Specialist in Hawaii. Check out her site, she is an Awesome Coordinator and will do a great job on your wedding if you are planning one.
Alex (The Tree) and his new wife Kathy are Canadian and a lot of fun, aye?! They were very comfortable and their family was one of those that you could tell just had fun together. The Light at Kualoa Ranch was simply AMAZING! Which made this one of those weddings that photographers absolutely love to shoot.
After the ceremony, the couple spent a little time getting a Plumeria shower from their family. They happened to be the brides favorite flower and her laughter along with the fragrance of the flowers, filled the air.
Our second wedding this week was today, Good Friday at Wahiawa Botanical Garden. Hawaiianpix was one of just 25 people in attendance at the intimate ceremony for Nuu and Dove. The weather was great in Wahiawa, cool with those occasional trade winds we love here in the islands and blue skies.
The couple were very traditional, not seeing each other prior to the wedding and you could tell the minute their eyes met; that the wait was worth every minute.
Dove was soooo cute with her freckles and genuine playfullness. Nuu was a big strong young man, that totally fit the " strong silent " type of guy. They were just perfect together.
And when you get a couple like this and ask them to "snuggle" it becomes very apparent that they are completely in love with each other. Photographers love moments like this by the way.
We wish both of our Easter Week Couples and their wonderful families all the very best. We truly appreciated working with both of these couples and were honored to be there as they started their new lives together. - Aloha

Son's and Senior's on a Saturday in April
This last weekend we had a great time in the studio and on the beach. First on Saturday we got to work with 2 young men.
Really Young, 4 and 1 in the studio. Jonah our "Rockstar" and his brother Dylan came in with their parents for a portrait session. Very cute kids and very well behaved! Awesome job Mom and Dad!
Once they got comfortable in the studio we began to play and got some great shots of both of them individually as well as together. The whole session took about an hour trading off time in front of the camera, the boys were ready for it to all be over by the time our hour was up. Thanks guys for playing with us and we hope to see you again.
Later on Saturday we traveled up to our favorite Beach to do some over due Senior portraits for Ashley.
Now we have worked with Ashley, her family and friends before. The first time was a couple of years ago when we did photos of her and her friends in Haliewa. That was a really fun session with some great "kids having fun" photos on the beach in Hawaii. Well Ashley is all grown up now and graduating High School here in Hawaii this year and needed to get some Photo's done. We were more than happy to be there for her.
Congratulations!!! Ashley, we wish you all the very best as you begin your new life out there in the big ole' world. We are sure you will do just fine.

Portrait Thursday, Everyone Loves The Beach!
Remember When You Were A Kid?...
Well Part Of You Still Is.
Ahh little girls. Daddy's love em' and so do we. Today we (Janel and I) had the good fortune to photograph lil' Eva in celebration of her second birthday!!!! Yay EVA ! We also Photographed Alyssa, who will be graduating High School in a few weeks. Both of these young ladies were a ton of fun.
Happy Second Birthday Eva! This is the second time we have gotten to work with Eva and I think she is finally warming up to us. This very serious little girls is the " strong silent type" of girl. She is an absolute delight though when she smiles and her giggle is.... well quite contageous. You just can't laugh at anything, just ask Eva, she saves it for just the right time. Thanks to Mom Sarah and Janel we were able to get some truly amazing photos of this wonderful little girl at the beach and playground today. Thanks Eva for being one of the 2 girls we worked with today. I had a lot of fun!!!
Oh did I mention BUBBLES?
And the Beach and the Bubbles?
Oh this one is all girl, putting on her bracelets, necklaces and man she is ready to get in the water too. You go Eva, Mom will just have to keep up as you get older :)
Remember Lilo and Stitch? We met em' today!
So our second shoot of the day, High School Senior From San Diego, Alyssa and her family. What a great bunch of folks. They are "regulars" to the islands having visited here 5 times in the past. We know we are working with a serious young lady when she is the one that calls and reserves her session over the phone herself!
Alyssa is one of those young ladies who seems to be ready for adulthood, yet there is a little something that keeps tugging her back. That would be " Stitch". You know from Lilo and Stitch? She brought him along with her to the session. What an awesome open spirit, sharing her favorite movie with us and doing so with an amazing sense of self awareness about who she is. Seems everyone at home believes she is Lilo..... you know I can see it. Strong independent and knows what she wants. Yep she is Lilo. We of course had to work with Stitch too. You know he is a pretty cool guy when you get to know him.
We wish Alyssa (a.k.a. Lilo) and her family all the very best as she begins her new life this fall in college ( we'll keep our fingers crossed that you get the school of your choice) honestly though this young lady will excel no matter where she ends up. Congratulations on your up coming graduation Alyssa!
And what ever you do never lose that sense of wonder, Lilo is alive and well and I was privledged to meet her today. - Aloha!

Aloha All Welcome to the new year and our first blog post, yea we know it is April already and the first quarter of the year is behind us.... That's why we want to catch everyone up.

These workshops have been very popular and if you haven't attended one you are missing out. both the Photoshop and Lightroom workshops include full DVD's of the material covered in the workshop in video format, so if you forget something, no worries, pop in the disk and you are right back into it. Register early workshops are limited to just 10 students each.
Awesome Images
Once again we were asked to be a juror for the University of Hawaii's Annual Survey and Exhibit of Digital Photography In Hawaii. This year there were over 400 images that we evaluated and many of them were just amazing. It was REALLY great to see some student work enter the fray. Several past students entered images into the event and many of those images were displayed.
The exhibit opening was last evening April 1st, 2011 in conjunction with the monthly 1st Friday Celebrations that take place in downtown Honolulu. The images were displayed at Frame Arts Hawaii, on 627 South St. in Honolulu and the place was packed. Some great prizes were handed out and many of the two former students won very nice prizes including a " purchase prize " of which there was only one, it was presented by the Halekulani Corporation. Congratulations to all the artists for a great showing. If you would like to visit the show, it will be on display through April 30th at the gallery.
OC16 "Down The Aisle On An Isle"
We have had the good fortune to be a part of a reality wedding show called " Down The Aisle On An Isle" in the last month. This show can be seen on OC16 exclusively in Hawaii. The show tracks the planning and actual wedding of Cherie and Travis as they go through the necessary meetings, planning, coordination and of course their wedding day. Check it out on OC16 all through the month of April. Mahalo to our crew, Scott, Janel and Leslee for being a part of this very special event. I hope you all get a chance to review the show.
