2012 Waikola Race, Vol. 2, Event #1



Brent & Caylen

I teamed up with my photographer friend Claire, for a wedding in Hilo. I don't normally shoot in Hilo and so I didn't know how to prepare myself for the on coming rain, that obviously did show up. Things had to happen fast!

Fergerstrom Wedding

I think Waimea is always a great place to take photos, the country makes for a great back ground, and the light is always good there. Imiola Church, the setting for todays wedding was quite small for a large wedding party of this size, but provided a cozy feeling perfect for the event, ambient light from the windows produced a nice color cast throughout room. A large Reception to follow the ceremony topped the night off with good music, and lots of food!
