subscribeHello everyone! Sorry about the long pause, the holidays kept us quite busy and in early January, Jared and I went on vacation for a couple of weeks to China and Hong Kong. We had a fantastic time and loved every minute of it! There was so much to see and do there, it was just an amazing trip. Here are just a few pictures from our time there and we’ll be back to posting lovely wedding goodness soon!
Carmel and Andrew were married on the beautiful island of Oahu. They had their ceremony at a beautiful park overlooking the beach and everything was just picture perfect that day. Jared and I feel so lucky that we not only get to meet such lovely people like Carmel and Andrew but to capture their wedding in one of the most beautiful places ever!
The girls and the guys got ready in separate houses and there was so much to do in both places. It was quite a frenzy that morning but most morning of the weddings are!
If you know me, you know that I adore shoes and I had to get a ton of pictures of Carmel’s Badgley Mischkas. They were so pretty!
Everyone looked fabulous so off we went to the ceremony, crossing our fingers that the traffic in Honolulu wouldn’t be too bad!
I loved that Carmel had both her mom and dad walk her down the aisle. It was such a lovely moment for them before they all made the walk.
I loved the varying shades of gray that the bridal party wore. It went so well with the scenery!
We were running out of day light quickly so we grabbed some shots of the couple with the sun setting behind them. These are some of my favorite shots of the day!
The reception was held at the Honolulu Design Center and the best part of the room was the ceiling that opened up so that the guests were sitting underneath the starry night.
Andrew is from New Zealand and when they walked into their reception the groomsmen performed a Haka, which was awesome and very entertaining for the guests as much as the bride and groom!
Throughout the night, Carmel and Andrew’s friends and families got up for speeches and told many funny and wonderful stories of the couple. It was obvious how loved these two were by everyone that was there for their special day.
Carmel and Andrew, we couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful wedding or a more beautiful couple. We loved getting to know the two of you and wish you nothing but the best for your new life together!
A little sneak peek of the gorgeousness of Carmel and Andrew’s wedding in Honolulu, Hawaii!
There’s nothing left to say after that image. 
Tiffany and I headed over to my old stomping ground….Spokane, Washington. While we were there we met up with one of my closest friends, Mark Papich (Paps) and his amazing family. We brought our cameras and the Papichs brought “it.”
Lunch before heading to the park.
Manito Park
Love that kids can find toys anywhere they go. Drew was very fond of these sticks that he found and Mom had to stash them in her purse to get Drew to take some pictures without them in it!
(Client request…..for you Paps)
Another family session in beautiful San Francisco! We met with the Opianas at Golden Gate park and explored the park. There was ample space not only for us to take pictures but for Kaitlyn to run around in. She may be tiny but that girl can run!
At least when she’s running away from you, she does it in the cutest way possible!
Skinny jeans and sparkly flats! That’s my kind of outfit!
Carol and David, it was such a pleasure hanging out with you two and your darling daughter for the afternoon. Thanks for making our trip even more fun, we had a blast!
