“the life of the land is perpetuated in righteousness”
I am so lucky to have met Cat and Shawn. Not only are they an amazing, beautiful couple, but they hired me to photograph their wedding on my home island of Maui. It was an emotional trip for me on so many levels, and I honestly cannot put into words how breathtaking it was, and how heartbreaking it was to leave home for the second time of my life. Instead of writing, I’ll simply share with you the images. This is my home. This is the traditional Hawaiian wedding of Catherine and Shawn. Congratulations, guys, and thank you for letting me experience something so sacred, and so close to my heart.

Me Ke Aloha Pumehana… a hui hou.
