Getting married in Hawaii….it doesn’t get much better than that! I recently flew out to Maui to photograph Karen & Greg’s wedding at The Plantation House. A little rain didn’t stop Karen & Greg from being all smiles as they happily celebrated their marriage that day!
Congrats, Karen & Greg! I’m so happy for you guys!
A big thank you to Marina for flying out from Oahu to shoot with me! Love you, girl!
And stay tuned for photos from their After Session, as well as some personal photos from the trip. =)
Was excited to work with Dan & Jessica again! I worked with them last year on a wedding and a photo shoot…they are fab!

Excited to share Anh & John’s wedding day with you! They married at Holy Spirit Catholic Church and had a beautiful reception at the Hilton in Costa Mesa. It’s been such a pleasure getting to know them over the past year, and I couldn’t be happier for them!
Little ribbon wands were given to guests to wave at the end of the ceremony.
The ring bearers & flower girl were too cute for words!
Since Anh is a teacher, they thought it’d be fun to rent a school bus to shuttle them around. It made for some fun pictures!
We stopped by the Segerstrom Concert Hall for some photos.
Aren’t those cake toppers adorable?!

Haruka and Felix had a small, intimate wedding ceremony on a beach in Malibu – just them and the officiant! They invited me to come out afterwards and take some wedding portraits of them. It was a gorgeous day in Malibu and it was nice having the beach pretty much to ourselves!
They’ll be having a bigger wedding celebration next year with friends & family, and I’m looking forward to photographing them again!
