There is no remedy for love but to love more

About Me

I am a wedding photographer located in Hawaii. I participate in weddings all over the islands, on the mainland and I am available for destination weddings across the Pacific and beyond!
I have started blogging! But not here--my blogs on this page will remain silly and have nothing to do with my business (at least for now) But you can read about the fantastic weddings I photograph here: Michelle's Blog Hope you like it!
Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything it's cracked out to be. That's why people are so cynical about it.... It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk even more. -Erica Jong
Here are some highlights from some of my latest weddings!
I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6 !
I am a hopeless romantic posing as a wedding photographer. I meet a lot of wedding photographers who hate weddings. I think they are nuts...I LOVE weddings. There are so many incredible moments to photograph in a wedding, so much emotion and love and tears and laughter to capture. A good portion of the time I am laughing and crying right along with the Bride and Groom. My goal in shooting a wedding is to be an unobtrusive part of the action. My photojournalistic style allows me to capture images that reflect the spontaneous beauty and life of your day.Learn more and see what it is I do here: I Do Believe

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

"For me the camera is a sketch book, an instrument of intuition and spontaneity, the master of the instant which, in visual terms, questions and decides simultaneously. In order to “give a meaning” to the world, one has to feel involved in what one frames through the viewfinder. This attitude requires concentration, discipline of mind, sensitivity, and a sense of geometry. It is by economy of means that one arrives at simplicity of expression." -Henri Cartier-Bresson

Heroes:

Henri Cartier-Bresson, Julia Margaret Cameron, Dorothea Lange, Annie Liebowitz, Herb Ritts, Cecil Beaton
