If you would have told me a month ago that I would find myself out of a job until June, I would have told you to go fly a kite. Because let’s be honest: business has been good here on Maui! We have some of the best wedding professionals around. Amazing photographers, videographers, planners, venues,…
About a year ago, my friend Caleb from No Ka Oi Media and I got together and formed a plan: to highlight Maui’s best wedding venues for our couples. We’ve been visiting a ton of Maui wedding venues in the past year and we are so excited to finally announce this series! There aren’t very…

From the moment I met Jayann and Eric, I knew that their wedding would be intimate, gorgeous, and have a raging party. And boy do I love being right! Their Andaz Maui wedding was full of so many special moments with their friends and family. The Andaz is one of my favorite hotels on Maui….
Back in 2016, my husband Anthony was asked to officiate our friends’ wedding back in Michigan. Anthony, being the people-pleasing awesome guy he is, said absolutely.

The images dropped in my inbox today and, to be honest, I was totally blown away. And weirdly emotional. Because things are going to change. Not right now, not tomorrow – but slowly over time. The day-to-day of our lives as a family of three are numbered (don’t worry, this is NOT a pregnancy announcement)…
I swear to you I’ve never seen a group of better-dressed wedding guests than at this Maui Tropical Plantation wedding with Patrick and Melissa. The groomsmen wore tuxes and every lady in attendance looked like something straight out of the Great Gatsby. The day began at Melissa’s condo in Wailea as the girls got ready…
At the end of every year, I like to take the time to reflect back on my past weddings. The ups, the downs, the complicated shots – what worked and what didn’t. It’s part of being an artist and striving to take my work to the next level. But another part of that process is…
Let me start with a spoiler alert: YES. WEDDING ALBUMS ARE IMPORTANT. When I think about what I remember from my childhood, it’s directly related to what was photographed. And I know I’m not alone here. I specifically remember painting my playhouse that my dad built – but using most of the paint on my…
I wrapped up photographing the last of my last Maui beach weddings on Sunday. In some ways it was a bittersweet goodbye to the weddings I often longed for when I was starting out as a photographer. But in so many other ways, it was the beautiful closing of an era. After each and every…
