The location is known as “Secret Beach” by many wedding companies. I routinely called it “Anianikou” or sometimes “Lanikuhonua” as that’s what it was known by the locals. […]
There are weddings singers, then there is Maroon 5. Can you imagine having them play at your wedding? And can you imagine them playing for free? Well, for the lucky few, that dream became a reality when the band crashed their wedding to promote their new song, and to […]
Yes, it snows in Hawaii! But, don’t worry, it only snows on the high mountains of the Big Island, Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa. The rest of Hawaii is snow free! 2015 started off very cold. Well, cold for locals like myself, normal for the rest of the world. […]
Every year since I’ve been in business I’ve always gotten a boatload of inquiries in the days and weeks following Christmas and New Years. I have no scientific proof of why this rare phenomenon occurs, but I truly believe it has to do something the smell of Christmas trees, baked […]
2015 is right around the corner and I’m changing things slightly to keep up with the times. SWITCHING TO DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY As you may already know, I’ve been an advocate of film photography for decades. I’ve shot many of my weddings on film as I loved the look, the quality, […]

Usually, under normal circumstances, meaning photos that […]
Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that I would be writing a serious article regarding the subject of Ebola: in Hawaii, in my lifetime, and how it could possibly affect your Hawaii wedding plans. Unfortunately, this is not a drill. While the chance of Ebola coming to Hawaii, […]

Every now and then I get a call from a hotel asking me if I have I have any cheap family photos that I can offer, possibly on the beach. My reply, “Yup! I sure do!” I have no problem at all doing it. I know there are a […]
Looks like we may be in for some very nasty weather. Last week, we got hit with the remaining storm cell of Tropical Depression Fausto. Luckily, the storm didn’t across the entire island and my couples and I were able to run away from the rain. I have a […]

Hey Steve, it’s Heather. You photographed my wedding on Aug 1. I have texted you several times and I called you twice to see if I can get a timeline on my photos and for you to send me the group picture so that I can send out my thank you cards this week. I’m getting worried that I haven’t heard back from you. Thanks
So, I live in Kaneohe. And I've always told all of my clients, I literal live in the caldera of a dormant volcano. Finally, someone created a graphic. What else is on Kaneohe? Ho'omaulahia (The Botanical Gardens).
