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

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

OMG this wedding was SO MUCH FUN to shoot!!! The groom is totally involved in The Rockstar Energy drink Racing Motorcycle team, along w much of the wedding party. Being the unique people they are; they had their wedding the “WAY” they wanted it. I loved Jennifer’s black wrap around her dress & of course all the Rockstar energy caps the groomsman were wearing. We were talking & when I told them I was also a sports photographer, they asked if they could do some “unusual” groomsman pictures! “Of course”, I replied! OMG, I was so cracking up it was hard to keep the camera still. They had me “rolling” just about the whole time. Congratulations to Jennifer and James!

This was of course, the very popular “in demand” 2010 date! A wedding to remember at The White Orchid Beach House! James had served in Iraq so it was very nice for me to be part of this touching ceremony and wedding. Taniesha was stunning on her special day and it shows! Their little son was awesome! Congratulations to the both of you!

Where Twila became Mrs. Anthony S…This beautiful historical Plantation House is full of charms and very romantic! They had contacted me a year prior and i had eagerly anticipated their wedding!
With the help of Lori from Tropical Maui Weddings, their dream wedding was a success! From the details of her colorful bouquet, flowers in her hair, table settings, the music with the awesome musician Jamie Lawrence, hula dancing, leis…it was gorgeous! You can see for yourself! Congratulations once again to the proud and happy couple! Tad

OMG, I had so much fun shooting this wedding!!! I immediately connected with both of them & I loved their style. Emily’s dress seemed to come right out of the 1920′s & Zach followed suite with his own Classic Look & Super Cool Tie!!! Styling!!!
I loved shooting the natural light shots of them holding hands on the beach. Those seem to be right out of that era. Their day was gorgeous with blue skies & a gorgeous sunset made Olowalu’s beauty stand out. Enjoy the pictures & Congrats to Emily & Zach!
