Britt & David’s wedding was breathtaking, featuring beautiful colors, a striking sense of wonderment, and family & friends.

You may remember last year’s event?! It was a ton of fun with lots of laughs and good music and I was honored to be involved. I photographed the New and Blue store for their website, which you can check out at The New and Blue website here. Thanks SO much N&B and can’t wait to join forces again soon! xo

Mei Mei and Lou’s magical and beautiful wedding beneath the stars was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. M+L are so fun, relaxed and in love and they truly infect people with their radiant love and energy. Hawaii is a sacred land that m+l truly respected during their wedding planning. Guests were invited to sleep in outfitted tents and live with little electricity and have an adventure of a weekend, during one of the largest meteor showers this century. Travis and I loved living off of the land and photographing m+l’s surreal wedding with 100% photojournalism. I loved documenting this wedding, this couple and this entire experience. thank you so much for everything and hope you love the preview pics.
