On the Side of Paradise

I'm excited to announce that I won my first juried photography competition. The Allen-Tarleton Contest is sponsored by the various photo clubs in Hawaii, and includes different categories to which one can enter. I entered one photo in the color print and one in the B&W print categories. My entry, "On the Side of Paradise", won first place in the color category. I feel extremely honored and pleased that the judges chose my print as there were many beautiful photographs submitted (including a couple from Kekiinani).

Shauna + Kahai

Shauna and Kahai had their wedding at Hale Pohaku in Waimanalo. It was a very intimate ceremony and Shauna's dad was their minister. They were surrounded by loving family and friends, and there were few dry eyes during the ceremony. Even I had to hold back a few tears (it's hard to see to take photographs with watery eyes!). I feel honored that Shauna and Kahai chose me as their photographer to share and capture such a special time in their life.
