St. Andrew Catholic Church: absolutely STUNNING church, a wonderful location, call Rosie
Huntington Catering Co.: wonderful food & great staff! Call Justin or Barbara
Wolfgang Lester Soundworks: working the 1's & 2's, good times! Call Wolfgang

If Mary & Chris decided to be in movies, they would rule the box office. Or if they decided to write a book, it would be a best seller for 3 years only to be replaced by their newest novel "Pyramid Splash: memories of our reception". Point being they are uber talented, wonderful, loving people and their wedding was absolutely amazing!! Everything was simply stunning & perfect! They loved each other since they were kids, and it was an honor to be there to capture the moment they'd been waiting for! To the bride & groom, families, bridal party & everyone there - much aloha!

I also had the wonderful pleasure of working with Mr. Lan Bui who was such a blast!! Be sure to check out his site for more pics!! And as an added bonus, Lan captured some video clips along the way, which I'll be putting together and sharing later. Epic :)

Alooooha!!

This was the second shoot of the day, and I'm surprised the Canon didn't waive the white flag because of all the hotness it was capturing! World, meet the spectacular Mary & Chris! My friend Katherine (from Coast - holla!) referred Mary to me and I'm so thankful she did!! Mary & Chris are so much fun and so good looking - I'm serious when I say my camera almost didn't make it with back to back hotness like this!

I met up with the two beautiful people at Mary's grandparents house, which was the perfect backdrop for Mary & Chris! We wandered the beautiful grounds, laughed, created some pictures and had a blast! I owe you Chris, thanks for hanging in there :)

So many possibilities for a favorite...

A lot of laughing is always good!

The love between these two is so awesome, you can totally see it in their expressions...

Another favorite candidate, the look, the feel, the love that's shining in the eyes & smile...
