Nontraditional elopement photos in Hawaii!? Sign me up! Check out Topher and Shianne’s incredible and intimate elopement photos, above the clouds at Waimea Canyon on the island of Kauai. Also, take me back! I’m now offering wedding and elopement photography for Kauai, Oahu, and Maui in Hawaii! Email me for details.
Everyone has their own bucket list, and photographers have two— their personal one, and their business bucket list!!! This girl has a looooong list of locations that I can currently only dream of traveling to for the purpose of photographing a proposal, engagement, or even “elopement” style wedding! I don’t know that my list has ever formally been shared on the blog before… so I’m laying it out now and throwing it into the world wide web! Maybe, just maybe, someone I know will decide to take me up on a destination engagement (or anniversary or wedding!) session. Because you really don’t have to look far for some really epic spaces!
A year ago, I would have never guessed that in the beginning of 2020 I would be on a series of flights to HAWAII! Let alone, camera in hand, to photograph some styled engagements and weddings!!!! This entire trip came together so smoothly, I know that it was meant to be. 8 wonderful days on two gorgeous islands in paradise, a photography workshop, and lots and lots of sunshine. I couldn’t have planned a better first trip to the Aloha State if I was a wizard!
I STILL CAN’T BELIEVE THIS DAY HAPPENED! Scratch that, I can’t believe this past WEEK was real life!
Holy Moly, Hawaii was the dream of a lifetime come true and these photos are just the very start of what I hope will be many successful trips to paradise to photograph lovers and dreamers and adventurers. Kauai and Oahu, you’ve got my heart and all the money in my travel account forever. :) Just need to get some more beach weddings booked there in 2020 and 2021, mmmk?!
A year ago this weekend, I photographed a sweet wedding at the Celebration Barns in Eastern Iowa for Katie and Jackson. At the wedding, during family photos, they told me Jackson's sister (Mariah) and her fiancé (Will) were getting married the next year. I ran up to them at the end of the day, handed them my business card, and the spent about a week in bed recovering from the worst cold I'd ever had. Possibly because I'd been sick, I didn't remember that interaction until I received an email in the winter from Mariah-- asking if I'd be interested in photographing their destination wedding in Colorado!!!!
The answer to Colorado (or any destination wedding photography) is always yes in my book. ;)
I meant to have this post blogged long ago—but fall and early winter are always chaotic, and I just realized this week that Lindsey & Matt’s gorgeous fall wedding in the mountains of Colorado (in Silverthorne, near Vail!) had never been blogged. This beautiful venue and amazing wedding day deserves to be shown off on the blog, so here it is!
