My life is about love. I've been lucky enough to travel this world and document the love between people in many forms, against many backdrops, in the context of many cultures. I embark upon journeys in the hopes of connecting with people, eating great food, playing with animals, wearing pretty dresses, listening to amazing music, and musing over the miracle that every day is that we are loved by anyone.

With a place to call home on both coasts, and commissions across North and South America, Africa, Asia, and Europe, there is no place too far or too near, grand or simple. It's amazing love that I seek to document, in any form it might take.

Many things. Thank you for being here.

Betty + Kent: Hawaii Destination Wedding!

It wasn’t until the day before their wedding, that I finally met Betty and Kent. Betty has a smile that could light up a major metropolitan area, and Kent is the kind of man who reminds the world that chivalry is not dead. I so enjoyed my time with these two amazing people, their amazing friends and families. Betty is an interior designer, and in the short time I had the pleasure of being around her, I noticed how naturally it comes to her to arrange everything in a room in such a way as to make it look perfect, simple and elegant. And for her, it’s effortless. That’s how I would describe this gorgeous, detailed wedding.

I’ve also never been to a wedding where there was a dog who was like a child. I have rarely seen this kind of love and devotion between two different species. There is some kind of supernatural bond between them, and Kea was in Betty’s lap all night – it was so beautiful! I am so happy when I meet animals who have such wonderful and fabulous lives for the owners that love them so much!

Here is a list of the amazing crew that put this amazing wedding together!!:

Coordinator: Christina from Pacific Aisles

Lighting: Hawaii Event Lighting

Food (it was amazing!): Paradise Gourmet Catering

Venue: Puakea Ranch (this place is UH-MAZING! It usually serves as a Bed and Breakfast, and instead of a room, you can rent a whole house on the ranch!!)

Cake: Short-n-Sweet Bakery and Cafe

But wait till you see Betty and Kent’s day after session! Yummy!
