Our First Wedding Shoot in Tokyo!

Our first international wedding shoot in Tokyo, Japan!

Alan and I had an opportunity to shoot Yuka & Yasuyuki's wedding at Hibiya park last week :) I was super excited when Yuka first popped the question to me: "Are you by chance in Japan in October? We have a wedding reception back in Japan, and I would like you to photograph it as well..." Working internationally was one of my goals of 2013, so my answer was YES! This was our international shoot debut for both photo and video team.

The above photograph was taken in front of a busy intersection right outside of their venue. I wanted to incorporate the Big City feel into this picture with the motion from the cars passing by. More photos will be posted later on. Stay tuned!

Kanpai for A New Life!

Destination wedding is very popular all over the world - and as you probably know, Hawaii is one of the most popular places! Isle Media works with both local and non-local couples, including ones from overseas. Every time I receive inquiries from bride/groom-to be, I always tell them that they are so lucky to be having their special day in beautiful Hawaii :-) Yuki and Yoshitaka inquired us from Japan, who made their dream wedding in Hawaii come true. I was very fortunate to capture their wedding day in my camera :-)

After getting ready in their hotel in Waikiki, they moved to Ko Olina in a limo (first time riding a limo!).  Lanikuhonua has been a very popular wedding venue lately, with its beautiful green grass and beach at a lagoon. If you are seeking for a nice sunset shot, remember that Ko Olina has a spectacular sunset!

It was very fun to work with Yuki and Yoshitaka, and their family and friends all from Japan :-) Every body was so happy to be there. Surrounded by lots of smiles and laughter, they became a wife and husband forever! Happy happy wedding :D

ゆきさん、よしたかさん
ご結婚おめでとうございます！ご参列頂いたみなさまの笑顔に囲まれて、とっても心温まる結婚式でした。ワイキキでの撮影の後はリムジンでコオリナへ移動。コオリナは緑に囲まれている一方でビーチエリアもあって、色々な風景とお写真が撮れる素敵なロケーションなので、オアフで一番好きな撮影場所です:-) 結婚式の日のハイライトお写真を、どうぞお楽しみください！

Fun Fun Photo Tour!

     Sumie and Hiroaki decided to take their pre-wedding pictures while they were visiting Hawaii! They came over from Japan to spend their time together as boyfriend & girlfriend one last time... since they are getting married in the end of the month back in Japan :-) They had an idea of taking pictures in Hawaii-y places in the wedding outfit. My phone rang one afternoon, and Sumie told me that Isle Media was referred by the hotel concierge where they were staying at. They did not have anything besides their great fun personality - no dress or tax, or transportation. My suggestion was - let's rent the outfit out, and I would drive you around and take fun pictures in beautiful locations you would love! So we went to Waikiki city center, Magic Island, and Waimanalo.

     Our 3.5 hour session went by so fast, and I was so happy to take their pictures! They were just merely happy to be each other. I didn't even have to ask them to smile at each other :D Love and laughter were everywhere around them. It was such a fun fun photo tour!  ~ Kay
