Nige & Merissa: A wedding in the land of OZ

Following our wedding in Fiji in 2012, we headed over to Australia to capture Nige & Merissa's big day. Aussies are about the most welcoming folk we've come across. Not only do they all seem to have a great sense of humor intact, they are jolly and completely lovable! These two were great fun and opted for a 1950's inspired wedding at their own historical family theater. The venue was so fitting to host their forever vows as it has been a continuous labor of love restoring it to it's former glory. Cheers to vintage mustangs, movie reels and cupcakes.

Ben & Katie: A Destination Fiji Wedding

One of our many adventures last year was shooting a wedding in Fiji! Though they were from Australia, Katie and Ben booked us for their 1920's themed wedding and began planning an intimate week with family and friends at their destination of choice: Viti Levu, Fiji. When the day finally came to elevate our relationship from pen pals to photographers, our relationship developed into a genuine friendship without hesitation. Many late nights in Fiji left us roaring in laughter between Jonathan's impersonations of anything and everything and the sheer amusement of the highly entertaining Aussie accents all around us. Is there such a thing as soulfriends? I think yes.

Matthew & Kelly's Maui Engagement Session

This unbelievably beautiful couple is one of our 2012 weddings lined up at the Haiku Mill. Better yet, they are coming all the way from Australia! We are thrilled to be able to capture the love that is so evident between them and can hardly wait for the wedding day.

Speaking of Australia... We are pleased to announce that we will be taking a side trip to the land of Oz on our way to Fiji and will be accepting one wedding during our stay. To find out more info, check out Polka Dot Bride who officially announced our coming!

Ben & Katie: A Maui Wedding

This couple was beyond wonderful, and their native Australian accents only added to their charm. Katie was all smiles all the day long, she was radiant! And Ben tried to play it cool, but he was just about jumping out of his skin to marry his best friend-- sorry to give you away, Ben. Their lovely guests nationally and internationally traveled to celebrate with them. Enjoy the memories we were able to capture of their special day.
