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!

 

 

Kim & Craig

Kim & Craig planned their wedding on Halloween day, why not? Nobody gets married on Halloween, which explains why every minister, photographer, planner, musician, whatever... would be available on that day.  We all know that simple is always better.  The wedding location ended up being at a newly renovated private home on Alii Drive... very nice.  Claire and I were off to cover another wedding. On another note, nothing to do with the wedding I never realized how many homeless people live on the beaches of Alii Drive, it's shocking

Leilani & Nathan

Nathan called me up looking for a wedding photographer, and that he and his wife were on a limited budget for photography, I decided to give them a break and help them out. Anyone that wants a photographer shouldn't have to decide they don't need to have one becuase they cannot afford to pay $500.00 for an hour!! I personally hate that side of most professional photographers. Anyone that had passed up Nate, and Leilani's wedding didn't have a chance to see and photograph the hands down best wedding reception of 2010!!!! It was like watching "The Gathering of The Kings" but better! Dim dramatic mixed lighting throughout the reception area was really a challenge, but made this wedding very original!! By the end of the night I had run out of batteries for my flash units, and we were still photographing well beyond our scheduled time, because the reception was so busy we didn't have time to to get away and take some photos of the bride and groom alone but at the very end I was able to get one strobist shot in, before my batteries wouldn't power my flash at all... this was a test shot as I was setting up my lighting you can tell by the framing but that's all she wrote

Pauahi & Scot

I was lucky enough to have been apart of Pauahi & Scot's wedding day here in Kailua Kona, it turned out to be a very exciting day not just for the Bride & Groom but for myself as a photographer, so many exciting things to photograph! Not to mention the 18+ wedding party that took a litte time to set up but I think things turned out pretty good.
