Cancellations work out sometimes :)

So my shoot today got canceled, thanks rain >_< Had all my batteries charged and needed a creative recharge sooo... Kawaii Kon! 

Saw pikachu!

Not a bad Tifa look a like :)

 

Yeah, I'm a bit of a geek :p an anime geek to be more specific. I don't draw anymore. Don't have time with all the weddings but I miss it so I geek out watching people draw like my new friends, Chen and Laura, from the "wanted" booth :)

They were commission drawing for people on wanted posters, cool stuff! 

"why so serious...."

They were popular! :D

 

Getting a little intimate at the Sheraton

Had  a nice small wedding at the Sheraton Waikiki today, the place looks great since the renovation!

 

They were staying at the Moana so we headed there next. They locked off the famous rocking chairs though >.<

Gotta love this place. Nice bit of old Hawaii. 

Introducing the Brag book!

Cmon now, you want to share your wedding images. There's just no easy way though! I try to be practical and compact but even my proof books are big, you need a computer to show off pics on a disc and even when your get your album you don't want to bring it all over with you in case it gets damaged! SO, I present the brag book!! :D

It's a small 5x7 book with images I personally select that I think show off how beautiful your wedding was!

 

Perfect fit for most purses!

Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound!!! .... ok maybe not :p

Naomi Lee - Pacific EDGE cover!!

While I was at the wedding cafe today I found out My good friend Naomi Lee from Les Saisons made the cover of Pacific Edge magazine!!! So we went down to borders to go take a look at the magazine ^_^

Naomi doesn't just offer linen, she helps with design and over all color coordination as well. Helping you tailor it just right for your wedding, not just providing pretty linens :p

Congrats Naomi!!!

Bridal Boudoir by Christine Gardner and Kris Labang

Look for a gift idea for your groom to be, maybe for your special someone or just perhaps just for fun? Check out our boudoir packages at www.teamflaunt.com

Sessions like this are becoming more and more popular these days, too bad no one knows what to call them or even how to spell it when they do ha ha ha!

A Boudoir photo shoot is a very private, very professional, sexy, glamorous, tasteful photo shoot of the beautiful woman you are or want to be. It’s a well-deserved gift for your significant other or for yourself!  It could be a gift for your husband “for his eyes only” to be given on the day before or the Wedding day, an anniversary gift, an ego-booster, or just because its something you have always wanted to do but was to shy to do it!  You only live once so, capture your sexy self! Hawaii boudoir

Jeff and Teresa

It was a NICE day today, great couple so what more could you ask for in a wedding!

Congrats Teresa and Jeff! What a wonderful wedding, hope you two enjoyed yourselves!

Alana and Ray

Next day I headed out to Hale Koa, then to the Ko'olau Golf course and back to the Hale Koa all for a nice 14 hour wedding ^_^

 

I always wanted to do photos on the road leading to Ko'olau, had to pick a church day to do it too huh? So thre was some traffic but everyone was nice about it :)

Thanks to Greg from Advanced Visual Arts for this shot, isn't it great when photo and video work together :p

Hale Koa has a new gazebo.

Besides the gazebo, the Hale Koa has gone through some major renovations on their wedding and banquet areas since my last time here. The room look great!

I wasn't just a long day for me, but the bride and groom had so much fun even at the end of the night they still had so much energy to celebrate!

Tarah and Tony

Two long days one after the other, but totally fun!The weekend started with some photos for the Miss Hawaii organazation

Then I headed out to the north shore for Tony and Tarah's wedding at Ke Iki Beach. I have NEVER been here before but it is breath taking! Perfect destination wedding location in my oppinion! It's right on the beach, in the middle of residential homes so not much tourist traffic, they can provide space for a stay over and for a small event and they have COOL hammocks!

The Hammocks!! :D

Why should you hire a professional photogrpaher

Just to annoy my friends :p

Had to shoot Nicole Fox today, the current Miss Hawaii America 2008-2009. When you are a photographer, especially a guy, your guy friends constantly bother you for photos of hot women. So here you go fellas :p

 

Darn probowl :p

So what happens, when the NFL buys out a hotel? Major Security :) and if your location is behind the hotel good luck getting there lol That's what happened with Lexis and David on this shoot at Koolina. Oh well, I can shoot anywhere :p and a beach is a beach :D

I LOVED working with this couple. The best thing you can do for your photos is be yourselves. We only get what you give ;) with a little direction that is :p
