Rachel and Jon Wedding Highlights (Four Seasons Hualalai, Big Island)

Something I have noticed, is that there is something different about sunsets on each island, especially on the outer islands. The sunset in Kona particularly, can have hues reminiscent to a post apocalypse, as seen at Rachel and Jon's Wedding. Definitely contributed to this wedding being even more breathtaking!

Congratulations to you both !

Creative Portraits on Kauai!

Last month, of bunch of us flew over to Kauai to shoot a wedding and film a part of a documentary for our 2nd Year Anniversary this coming May. We had some down time after we finished filming, and decided to explore Kauai...no itinerary, no scheduled stops. Sometimes, that's really the best way to go :)

As it turned out, we decided to have an improv photo shoot with each other. There's something really compelling about capturing the likeness of your close friends, and we had a blast, shifting between epic portraits and just joking around in front of the camera. Along the way, we found a huge forest of trees, a land fill, and wide open field next to Lihue Airport. It was definitely an adventure that we'll remember for a long time :)

Here's an inside look at us, while shooting weddings! The following images are from weddings we've done in 2012 and 2013, so come check out what we're like on the job! 

Erin and Stephen Married ! // Four Seasons Hualalai, Kona Big Island

Erin and Stephen had a private and intimate wedding at the Four Seasons Hualalai Resort in Kona on the Big Island. Simple and sweet, they were married at "The Wedding Tree" located on the far corner of the estate that overlooked the beach, ocean and sunset. As you can tell, these two are madly in love!

Congratulations!

Kotomi & Judai Married!

Kotomi & Judai Wedding Highlights from Isle Media on Vimeo.

After Judai and I had long correspondences via email over 30 times in between Japan and Hawaii, we finally met in person for a final client meeting two days before the wedding day. Kotomi brought a giant binder filled with wedding ideas that she had prepared to make her dream wedding come true! One thing they specifically wished to have was a "vintage feel" in their photos and video - it sure did turn out amazing with the locations they selected for the day. I could see how much preparation they did to carefully design and plan their own wedding. Her dream All-White-Theme was beautiful, especially in the green surroundings at the Bayer Estate.

At the wedding, I teared up more than a couple of times when I saw Judai cry at the first-look, and during the speeches of Judai, Kotomi, and their guests. Very caring, very touching. The day was full of joy, smiles, and a little bit of happy tears here and there.

Congratulations Judai & Kotomi!

Exploring Phuket! (Thailand)

It is Day 3 of our trip to Asia, and we realize that everyone needs an escape from the stresses of daily life. In our case, this is especially crucial to take a break before the wedding season goes into full swing next month. We are currently on Naka Island, a location that is as beautiful as it is isolated. Yesterday, we took a tour around the Phuket Island chain, and saw some truly remarkable land formations. For this blog post, we did portraits that were taken at different times of the day...early morning, mid afternoon, and sunset at various locations.  Enjoy!  (Alan, Reese, Jack)

Jen and Andy Married!

Jen and Andy always wanted a classical wedding. From their beach engagement shoot, to their wedding at the Central Union Church, the couple had a ton of ideas to make their big day a special one, that kept true to their vision. Jen and Andy have a knack for details, whether it was their personalized props at the engagement shoot, or the miniature Lego archway for their wedding. Jen's dress was also a stunner, and we were wondering how she was able to walk around the whole day with it on! Congratulations you two!

Cern and Alessandra Teaser Trailer (Kauai)

Cern and Alessandra Teaser Trailer (Kauai) from Isle Media on Vimeo.

Every now and then, we stumble across a client that encourages us go overboard with our creativity. Considering Alessandra and Cern planned their wedding day revolving around helicopters, canoe rafting and adventure, we discovered that changing things up this time around, was very appropriate. We explored utilizing cameras outside of our comfort zone, experimenting with different techniques and shooting methods. I think it all turned out pretty well. : )

This is just a teaser from our epic day with Alessandra and Cern on the island of Kauai.
Stay tuned for the rest!
