Several months ago Gary and I planned a vacation to Maui.  We couldn’t wait to squish our toes in the sand and mispronounce all the Hawaiian words.  We knew it was going to be such an amazing trip.  Then my good friend, Joe, called and told me his sister was getting married in Maui the exact time we were planning to be there and asked if I would shoot their wedding.  Joe is one of my favorite people so it was safe to assume his sister was going to be my new bff.  And I wasn’t wrong.  🙂

 

Jordan and Luke’s wedding was simply…perfect.  It was a small, intimate gathering of their closest friends and family.  Between the market lights and the laughter and tears that drifted off into the ocean air, it was one of those nights you just know you won’t forget.  I’ve shot a lot of weddings…but something about this day.  This group of people.  Something about Jordan and Luke was just special.  And I feel incredibly grateful that I got to be even a small part of it.

 

Jordan and Luke…I just love you guys.  Thank you for trusting me with your big day and for being overall awesome people.  It was so great getting to know you guys and I sincerely hope there are many more poolside cocktails in our future.  xoxo

When the sun is shining and it’s unseasonably warm in November you know it’s going to be a good day.  And that’s exactly what it was on Nicole and Keith’s wedding day.  A very good day.  All their family and friends gathered to celebrate the beginning of their life together.  They laughed and cried and raised their glasses to two people who are so obviously perfect for each other.  The dance floor was packed and the room was bursting with love.  And as the night came to an close…I couldn’t ask for a better end to my wedding season.

 

Nicole and Keith…thanks for including me in your special day.  It was perfect and I wish you guys both a lifetime full of happiness!!!  xoxo

 

A huge thank you to my second shooter, Erin Moody, for being my trusty side kick for the day!  Couldn’t have done it without her!
