Check back later this week for more!

Those of you who haven’t met Heather are totally missing out. She’s sweet and awesome and fun, and cracks me up on a regular basis. Over the course of the past couple of years while she’s been assisting us at weddings, we’ve become good friends. So we were psyched to have the chance to shoot her wedding in Hawaii! And of course we like Daniel too – and they’re perfect together.

The ceremony was on the island of Oahu, on the beach featured in the old movie “From Here to Eternity,” with the Halona Blowhole shooting water into the sky in the distance. If that’s not a romantic location for a wedding, I don’t know what is. Of course it was absolutely gorgeous, and when all of Heather’s details were added it was completely perfect.

Getting ready at the very cool and unique Hotel Renew in Waikiki:

Birdcage veils are hard! (But oh so totally worth it…)

Heather giving me Eyes:

Ready to go get married!

Waiting to be picked up:

Some of Heather’s wonderful details (she has a minor obsession with yellow and gray):

Did I mention the treacherous rocky mountainside we had to walk down to get there? Heather gets serious props for making the descent in a wedding dress:

An overall of the ceremony, with a few tourists watching from above:

Darek captured this super sweet moment:

They shared a moment “alone” together immediately after the ceremony:

Love the flowers!

A shot of everyone who was at the wedding:

The umbrellas were so much fun!

Hopefully Daniel won’t kill me for posting this, but I just thought it was too funny not to share (It was really freaking windy):

Daniel really wanted to stand in the ocean:

Crazy Honolulu traffic cut into our portrait time (second only to LA, seriously!) but we still got some good stuff!

You can see the blowhole in the distance:

Funny story. Daniel actually forgot to bring his ring to Hawaii, so they picked up this temporary green one in Chinatown:

Climbing back up the hill:

Heather and Daniel, congratulations a million times over! Thanks for the opportunity to shoot your amazing wedding in Hawaii!

Everyone else, check back soon for photos of her “Rock the Dress” session when she actually went for a little swim in the big ocean in a wedding dress!

We just got back from Hawaii where we photographed Heather & Daniel’s beautiful beach side wedding. One quick sneak peek – check back in a few days for more awesomeness!

Rachel and Caleb’s wedding was absolutely beautiful. They had originally planned to get married outside at the Hilton Bella Harbor, but although the threat of rain pushed the ceremony inside, the back-up location was still gorgeous. It’s not often we have a view of a lighthouse during a wedding. Rachel and Caleb are both incredibly sweet and were awesome to work with, and they had the kinds of friends and family members that made us feel like we were part of the gang. Caleb’s mom is a florist and did an amazing job with the flowers; we see a lot of flowers, and these were definitely some of the best. The party was awesome, and I can’t remember many weddings that had such a full dance floor at midnight!

Venue: Hilton Bella Harbor, Rockwall

Rachel and Caleb, thank you for choosing us to document the big day! We’re so glad we had the pleasure of meeting both of you.
