Dulay vs Vanapruks

Happy Saturday All!

It's not too often you get called to photograph a face-off... of a different kind :)

I've been friends with Justin for a few years, ever since the first time I photographed one of his kickboxing fights.  The more I photographed combat sports, the more I was able to talk stories with him and get to know him.  Naturally, I ended up meeting his other half Sarah, who has been a huge supporter of Justin in his martial arts accolades.  She always said that we would photograph more than just fights for them... After years of being together, Justin FINALLY popped the question!  And with that, the famous #itsabouttimejustindulay hashtag was born!  Haha!

What started as a joke on Justin's end, ended up becoming reality in the form of their save the date!  Of the engagements and save the dates we have done in the past, this was the first of it's kind!  Can't wait to see this one!  Justin Dulay vs Sarah Vanapruks!  She will be fighting for his last name!  Clever and cute!  Peep a small sample guys!

Happily Ever Hopps

Hey everyone!  It has been a crazy month filled with such crazy weather!  With on and off rain accompanied with sudden winds, who knew what type of weather wedding day was going to have for us!  But with faith and the grace of God, we were able to have a beautiful day in the East side of Oahu!  We had the pleasure of having Glenn of Dreamlight Portraits, join us on this beautiful day.

I've known Joseph for a few years through photographing some of his fights (yes people, he is a fighter as well lol).  When he contacted us (after scoldings from Bethe for taking too long haha) and asked us if we would shoot their wedding, we knew we wouldn't say no!  It was quite the sight seeing a different side of Joseph, and we were glad to finally/officially meet the woman who has had Joseph's heart for years.  I can see why!  You guys are so cute together!

Throughout the day, we shared many laughs with this fun and crazy family!  It was such a beautiful day and we were blessed to have been a part of it.  Thank you guys for having us, and we wish you and your beautiful family many blessings for the years to come!   Check out a few sneak peeks we have of their big day!

Little Sister Is A College Graduate

Happy Saturday everyone!

With graduation season finally here, we join our friends and loved ones to help celebrate their achievements!  Gosh I remember my high school and college graduations.  To see my friends and family there with me to share in the moment, it was was without a doubt, a joyous occasion!

Seeing my sister graduate with a Bachelor's degree is another one of those fine moments that I will remember for the rest of my life.  Of course, I had to get some shots in for her sake :)

Have a blessed day everyone!

Chris Miranda & 90 Days

Aloha all and a very (late) Happy New Year!  Hehe.

Here is a look at our quick session with dear friend and fitness expert, Chris Miranda.  His idea was to show what 90 days and hard work can get you.  As they say, the results never lie!  Much thanks to Arkaios Crossfit for letting us come by to work with Chris!
