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, […]
The second most common question I am asked is,”Steve, how long will our photos take to finish?” And my answer usually ranges from: a few hours, a few days, three weeks, twelve weeks, sometimes up to three to four months, it really depends…. 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, […]
Latest Track UPDATE AUGUST 6TH: It looks like a Hurricane will hit the Big Island, weaken, then miss us (Oahu). So it looks like we’re in a for lots of rain. Lets pray that it doesn’t take a turn north. That’s what happened with Iniki. It strengthen and then […]
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 […]
For some reason, everyone and their grandmother (I’m not kidding, many of my brides are grandmothers) wants to get married on Oahu in the month of July. I’m booked almost to the brim, but I can more than likely take on a handful of jobs if you’re willing to be […]
An example of bad storytelling: This is taken from a magazine. So tell me. Why would a grown man, fly a young kid into the middle of the Utah Salt Flats, with one parachute, splash on cologne, and say he’s “Living unforgettable moments.” The glider, by the way, cannot take […]
There’s no “Major” tsunami on the way to Hawaii after an 8.2 Earthquake rattled the shores of Chile. There may be 6 to 8 foot waves that come ashore. Swimmers, boaters, and all water sports “recreationist” are advised to say out of the ocean. No warnings for beach weddings […]
Affordable Hawaii Wedding Packages, great photo and video services, easy and fun planning
For the men who serve, if you have a Mess Uniform, seriously consider it, at least for the ceremony. You can change to something more casual later, for the beach pictures. The mess uniform IS awesome. For the women who serve, the wedding dress still works better than the Mess uniform. Just my opinion. And, thank you all for your service.
Did an awesome wedding at THE POINT yesterday. This location is great for small and large weddings. It's private and on the west shore of Oahu. I always recommend the point if a couple wants an archway.
In the State of Hawaii, you can't have chairs or an arch on the beach. That's the law. I don't agree with it because it doesn't make any sense because if you're not getting married, and bbqing at the beach, you can put up a tent (which is like an arch), and you can have beach chairs, any amount. Our State is stupid, what can I say.
So, if you want an arch and chairs on the beach, you are stuck with booking a property that is right on the beach. Cheapest one out there - THE POINT on PARADISE COVE.
This is probably the 1st bride that got her make-up and hair done in my house. She's the fiance of my good friend, and they were staying here for a week.
I have to say, my bay windows work out really well for the stylist.
Thanks! The floors are Legarri Epoxy. I have an ocean them in my house. If you look at the very back, you can see my fake epoxy beach.
Wow, love your floors!
Love the floors bro
Probably some of the most impressive make-up I’ve seen in the past 20 years I’ve been doing this.
