With the two of them living in Dallas, Texas, it was an easy choice to come to Maui for their wedding as it is MUCH cooler here.
Another draw to Maui was that the groom’s mom is a school teacher in upcountry Maui. Debra at Matea Island Weddings had taken care of all the beautiful details including the awesome table set up.
Super Cool! The shot of Dana shaking hands with Chris the head sports caster at ESPN who was on property at the beginning of the shoot. The evening unfolded beautifully with a fabulous sunset. Check out the silhouette shot of the bridal party. Notice the air they are all getting & the heals all the ladies are wearing.
Really great wedding to cover with lots of candid moments. I wish them the very best!
Enjoy the images! Tad

I first met Jordan & Mark late last fall when they were doing thier intial planning for their big day. Right away we connected & I knew their wedding was going to be so much fun. Being from Canada’s West Coast, it was remarkable that they had like 50 of their closest friends & family by their sides. The day unfolded beauitfully with soft clouds cooling the tempature & of course the location is totally gorgeous. Through out the evening they laughed & laughed & even shed a few tears.
Makena Weddings put this great event together & did a wonderful job!

Many Many Congratulations to the two of them! Enjoy the images. Tad

OMG! Imediately upon my arrival @ Hotel Wailea I was cracking up with the groom & his groomsman. After doing some gorgeous pictures with the bride we left for the famous White Orchid Beach House in Makena. We were treated to Teresa Senas’s beautiful flowers which decorated just about every where. The evening went by in a snap as it was just so fun working with everyone. My favorite pictures are the natural light pictures of the two of them on the beach. I love the LOOK she is giving Tom in those pictures! White Orchid Wedding did a super fabulous job on putting this beauitful wedding together.
ENJOY & Congrats to Christa & Tom

Laura & Chris had been working with Vicky of Dolphin Dream Weddings for quite along time to put together a beautiful wedding for them. The day of their wedding was just that. BEAUTIFUL! With little clouds rolling through every few minutes, the light was constantly changing creating the perfect backdrop for Laura & Chris to say their nuptials.
Having connected with them right away, it was a day filled with candid moments with just about everyone there…either laughing or crying.
Especially Laura’s sister (in a green dress) who could not hold back the tears of joy that came over her throughout the evening. Their close friend became officially authorized by the State of Hawaii just to marry them. Truly an amazing wedding & amazing couple & I wish them the very, very best. Tad

I met with Ashley & Adam in early December when they came to Maui to begin planning their Maui wedding. We immediately got along great!
Fast forward six months & all of the planning for their gorgeous wedding @ Sugarmans Plantation Estate in Makena came to fruition.
Tropical Maui Weddings took care of all of the beautiful details and put on a fantastic wedding!!!
My friend Kimokea was also a family friend of theirs & was the officiant. His words were as beautiful as the location in self! The evening was filled with laughter, joy & lots of dancing.
Enjoy the pictures & Congratulations to Ashley & Adam.
Thank you for letting me be part of your special day!

The very first picture of the evening is of the Groom’s dad who just tried on the WRONG pair of pants. Check out his reaction. It’s hilarious! Lori & Brian & about 35 guests came all the way from Washington DC to have their wedding at the White Orchid Beach House in Makana Maui. The weather was perfect as clouds blanketed the sky during the afternoon & then the Spectacular sun showing it self at sunset.
Al Terry was the officiant for their nuptials & of course had everyone, (myself included) cracking up. Lori & Brian continued this practice of cracking up through out the evening. Super fun group of people to work with.
Congratualtions to the both of them. Enjoy the pictures. Tad

Immediately upon arriving at the Gorgeous Blue Sky Villa on Maui’s West Side, I was captivated by Caitlin & her mom’s giant smiles & HUMONGOUS excitement for the wedding!
Caitlin was just beaming from ear to ear! Blue Sky Weddings had taken care of all the details, including ordering up the soft flattering light that I love shooting with. Midway through the wedding, Ryan’s dad picked up his acoustic guitar & played a soulful tribute to the newly weds. It was very beautiful.

My very best wishes go out to Caitlin & Ryan! Congratulations & thank you so much for letting me be a part of your most special day! Enjoy the pictures!

Christmas Eve, I arrived at the gorgeous Sugarmans Plantation House to find that it had just rained. The fresh smell of rain dampened the grass a weeee bit, but NOT the brides enthusiasm to get married! The bride also knew I’m a cyclist & proudly told me how her finace had just ridden his bicycle UP Haleakala & summited the 10,023′ feet mountain. Quite an acomplishment for anyone, including a groom getting married in a few days time.

With just a few of their closest friends & family by there sides they tied the knot with a short but sweet ceremony. They were gifted with a stunning sunset & gorgeous light! A photographers delight!

Enjoy the pictures & Congrats Nicole & Kevin

Both Christy & Jon were very excited to finally join their families into “ONE”. Their kids were having a great time playing in front of the camera & definately were total “hams” but I enjoyed it. Congratualtions to Christy & Jon and your big family. Enjoy the pictures!
