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.

Dane & Anise: A stellar event at the Haiku Mill

This wedding was something you'd see in a magazine--- matter of fact it was featured in Pacific Weddings magazine in a lovely spread. If you review our work often, you are familiar with the stunning wedding venue the Haiku Mill. In these photos however you will notice quite a transformation  from it's traditional glory into something new entirely. The event, designed by Pacific Weddings own editor Robyn I'aea, was truly grand from the flower girl tea party and the wine and cheese pairings during the cocktail hour down on through the evening with the live creme brulee station. Without further ado, Dane & Anise...

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.
