This past August we went to the Big Island of Hawaii to photograph two weddings.  After we were done, we spent two weeks exploring this very large Island ... by Hawaii standards anyways.  What we found was an Island ripe with rugged beauty; active volcanoes giving birth to new land dotted with high, cold mountains harboring glimpses of the heavens and stars so close you feel as though you can almost touch them; oh, and then there are the secret lagoons and isolated beaches full of sea turtles ... plenty and plenty and plenty of sea turtles ... we love sea turtles :-)!  Below is a record of our journey through the images we took!

While we were on the Big Island of Hawaii, we took a boat trip to view the lava flows.  It was spectacular to witness ... one of the most amazing acts of nature we have ever seen!

We spent the day after Amy and Brian's destination wedding in Puerto Penasco (Rocky Point), Mexico, photographing an amazing trash the dress shoot!!!  This shoot was soooooo much fun and the photos are stunning!  A big thanks to Amy for being absolutely fearless :-) ... she said she enjoyed this shoot as much as her wedding day, and you can tell!!

Amy and Brian own a couple of condos at Las Palomas Resort in Puerto Penasco (Rocky Point), Mexico and decided, what better place to have their dream destination wedding than in a place that holds a special place in their hearts.  This event was beyond stunning and every detail was well thought out and executed ... and their two dogs - how cute!!  We felt privileged to be chosen by this wonderful couple to be their wedding photographers ... thank you both for an spectacular weekend!!

The day after their destination wedding, Jacqueline and Izzy took advantage of the beauty and culture of the local area and did a trash the dress shoot.  It started off at the local fish market district and ended with a whole lot of fun in the water ... great shoot!!
