G E N U I N E...... P U R E love. These words come to mind with this wonderful family. As funny as this is going to sound, I need to really call this business a complete bag of blessings. I met Tasha through her sister-in-law, Des. Des' family has truly become an extension of K'Aloha. They know what the true meaning of O H A N A is. I seriously love hanging out with these people and shooting any of their events! So, of course, I was super stoked to be able to take pictures of Tasha, her fiance, and their beautiful daughter. They were so fun and relaxed. You could feel the love, and it made me so excited for their wedding... NEXT WEEK! :) So I just want to send lots of love to Bill, Tasha, and their wonderful daughter. You guys are awesome! :) I had so much fun with you all! :)
I was incredibly blessed to shoot my very first wedding for Joe & Lia. I was invited by my my own wedding photographer, Jacob Atmodjojo from Jacob Galleries, to be an additional shooter. I couldn't have been more blown away with this day. Lia was an incredible bride. Every woman should shine on her special day. Lia certainly radiated. She was gracious, collected and elegant. It is impossible to post all of the shots, so I will post my faves. I know you will see the absolute class and elegance that was created this day. I wanted to say a special thank you to Jacob for allowing me to shoot with you. Thank you also to Lia for allowing me to capture this incredible day. You truly pulled off an amazingly beautiful wedding.
This time of the year tends to be one of the busiest for high school Seniors. Today I got to spend a little time with Jacob, a graduating Senior. Most parents would BEG to have Jacob as their son. He said that he was taking these pictures for his mom, and told me how she was a wonderful and "chill" mom! What a sweetheart. As you may have heard in past posts, I am going to be a starting a "Hubby Hall of Fame." While Jacob does not apply for this category, he sure could teach a lot of guys out there a lesson about how to be relaxed at a photoshoot! Jacob, I hope you make it through the next two months or so without succumbing to an insane amount of senioritis! I know your parents are proud of you, as well as everyone who knows you! I also know you have a promising life ahead of you, and cannot wait to see the places that you will go! Blessings at college next year. Congratulations on your upcoming graduation. :)
