Hawaii Portraits...

This past week I've been in Hawaii shooting a wedding. It was my first time out there and I felt like I was in heaven! I loved every part of the trip. At first I was certain that it was some place that I could live, but I think that it's a good thing I don't. Aside from the fact that I think I would be pretty content setting up a snow-cone shack on the side of the beach somewhere to make a living, never wearing make-up again, and spending eternity in my Chacos, I think that it's a great thing that there are some places where you can visit that just seem magical. It makes me think that, if I did live there, would the magic ever wear off? Would I stop seeing how beautiful my surroundings were and get caught up just like I do in the everyday monotony of living? I don't know....just food for thought. The moral of that story is that I feel grateful for beautiful, magical places that provide an escape.

Stephanie and James Wedding

Stephanie got married at the LDS temple in Laie on Oahu. There were lots of great places to take pictures. It was terribly hot, but she and James were real troopers. She looked absolutely beautiful! Here are just a few of my favorites...
