May and Dominic: A Hawaii Destination Wedding

posted in Travel,Weddings

Thursday June 7, 2012

Being born Hawaii and raised in San Diego, living in the northeast can be tough at times. I mean seriously… seasons? Totally overrated. At least once a year I go home to Hawaii to visit my family, eat some onolicious grinds (that’s pidgin for banging grub), and just spend some time with my wife and kids on the beach. This year we were fortunate enough to go twice! Once to celebrate my son’s first birthday with my family and the again to shoot May and Dominic’s wedding.

I was absolutely floored when they asked me to fly out to shoot their wedding. How could I say no to shooting a wedding in Hawaii, at a gorgeous venue, with two people I love? I’ve known May for well over 10 years and Dominic is one of my closest cousins. I’ve seen the love between these two grow every year, and every year I would ask them if they’re finally getting married. Well this was the year. Finally. :)

Here are some highlights from their amazing day.

Luxury Styled Session: Christina and Robert 1940′s vintage shoot

posted in Engagements

Wednesday March 28, 2012

Here is our second Luxury Styled Session with one of our favorite couples, Christina and Robert. The were married back in 2009 at the United States Military Academy at West Point. I contacted them about doing one of these sessions while they were visiting the area during the holidays. We met at the Danbury Railway Museum in Danbury, CT. It was pouring rain that day, but we weren’t about to let that stop us! Here are some favorites from that shoot.

Big thank you to JK Flashy for providing the awesome make-up and to Salon Posh for rocking out Christina’s hair.

Christina, Hope to see you in Hawaii when we come in a couple weeks. Robert, be safe out there on your deployment. I cannot say enough how thankful that we have people like you defending our country.

-J.
