8.5.2006 :: Sheila + Guy Wedding

We just got back from our Honeymoon the night before and today we are back shooting another wedding! Today's wedding was an intimate ceremony with only imediate family and a few close friends. We could totally relate, it was very similar to our own wedding. This took place on a bluff overlooking the ocean in San Diego. What an awesome view. We were right on the edge, so it was a little scary looking down at times. Sheila and Guy make a great couple and you could see in both their eyes how much they are in love with each other. Congratulations to both of you and thank you for having us share your day with you.


The bride and groom were running a little late so Erin and I took in the view.

Family and friends waiting for the Bride and Groom to arrive.


Here they are!


I told you they were on the very edge!



Some details and awesome light.


I think this is my favorite shot of the day. The backdrop almost looks unreal. Notice again how high we are, see those little people on the beach below?!


The very happy bride.



Erin shot me while I really went to the EDGE to chase down the little light we had left and these cool shoes. Check out the next shot to see how I did.


Not bad huh? I was really enjoying the light but it was going away so fast.


The happy couple.


Another cool sunset shot, couldn't decide which one we like better.

8.2.2006 :: Great weather + fun shooting

Today the weather was 100% better than yesterday. We had to get an early start because we wanted to get as many pictures and sights in today as possible incase the rain came back. First we stopped at "Wailua Falls" on our the way to North Side (again we love that place). Erin actually shot this one and I forgot to give her credit when I framed it.
This bad boy has seen better days...

When I pulled over to shoot the next photo, this little guy came over to see if I had some food! I shot him with the long lens so he wouldn't bail.


This is another beach on the North Side where we hung out today. Love these colors!

This is a shot Erin grabbed while we were driving along the North Side.

This car is toooo cool, chic magnet, I wish I had this back home, I would totally cruz it and you know this if you know me! I can't get over how when a car dies, people just leave them where they died. This one like the others was just taking a dirt nap along the road. By the way this was a very difficult shot because I took it with the long lens WHILE driving! Don't try this at home! At least the speed limit here was 25 miles per hour.

We closed another great day back at the Hyatt. Gavin is looking too cool sporting is little swimmers and watching his big bro swim.

Jett didn't want to leave he wanted to sleep in the lagoon.

All the kids are wearing these! Thanks Grandma! Grandma knows whats sylin for the kids these days more than me! I saw some "grown-ups" wearing these too.....please don't! haha.

Gavin never leaves his "Binky" too far behind.

Another postcard shot ending day. I LOVE THIS PLACE! Im not coming back home. I felt really good behind the camera today. Maybe it's because I know the week is almost over, or that the weather might change again. But anyway I'm really excited because my parents are going to visit us tomorrow, (they were in Oahu this week) and we might all book a boat ride along the Napali Coast on the North Side. The best photos are taken here and you can only get there by boat or air. Also maybe Erin and I can have a little date on our last night on the island!

8.1.2006 :: Rained out

Today it rained most of the day, but that didnt keep us from getting out. First we stopped downstairs in the lobby for "Parrot Talk." Jett got to finally hold these birds that he has had his eye on since we arrived. Later on we had lunch at a really cool place on the beach. The windows opened up so we could see the beach and the rain. We ended up going swimming in the rain to finish the day, then it finally cleared up.

7.31.2006 :: The North Shore

Today was by far the best so far. We took a drive all the way to the north side of island as far as you can go by car anyway. We ended up at a dead end and these two beaches. These two beaches were amazing! We felt like it was some kind of dream or something that and artist painted, it didnt seem real. Check them out...

Don't you just hate crowed beaches!


Me and my two boys.


Jett was so awesome, he offered to take this shot of me and Erin. This shot is amazing and our favorite one of the trip so far. Jett told me he is going to be a professional photographer someday, I think he is on his way! Thanks Jett!

7.30.2006 :: Time for a change

On our second day we decided to explore the west side of the island, more great beaches!



On the way back to the south side of the island, we stopped to check out more scenes. Jett had fun chasing around all the roosters that are all over the island.




We had to stop at the local store and pick up some more supplies for Gavin. He went through a couple of oil changes before we got back to the hotel, so we picked up these cool diapers!

7.29.2006 :: Destination Kauai!

We have arrived in Kauai and are having a blast. Everything is soooo colorful here, I understand why they call this the Garden Island. We are staying at the Hyatt in Kauai, highly recommend this place if you have little ones too. Here are a few shots from day one. More to come so check back!

7.27.2006 :: Our Wedding Day!

I'm actually writing this from the hotel room in Kauai a couple of days later because this was the first chance I had to jump on the computer since the wedding. All I can say is that we are both extremely happy to be married, everything turned just the way we had hoped and was beautiful except the dinner reception. I would really like to post a review about our horrible dinner experience in Newport Beach, but I wont even waste another thought on it. I guess not everything can be perfect. The ceremony was at a little park in Laguna Beach, only our immediate family was with us. My son Jett was the best man and did a great job by my side. Gavin would have been up there too but he's still not able to stand or walk by himself so he watched from the side. Erin was beautiful and picture perfect. I was hot and sweating like crazy!
We are now enjoying our honeymoon, and enjoying all the awesome sites this place has to offer. As soon I can, we'll post some shots from Kauai. We want to thank our families who helped us with all the last minute details especially my Mom Joyce, and Erin's mom Andrea. Thank you very much! Special thank you to Jessica Claire who captured our day with her amazing talent, these images are unbelievable and you exceeded all our expectations. Please visit her blog for more!

7.17.2006 :: 10 more days

The countdown begins! 10 days till our wedding day. We are just about done with the planning for our little ceremony. We still need to finish up with the cake and flowers. Here are a few sneak peek shots of Erin's shoes and dress...I know we are dorks, but since I can't shoot our own wedding, I couldn't help it!
