Karen and David Married !! (Turtle Bay, North Shore Oahu)

Karen & David Wedding Highlight (Turtle Bay, North Shore) from Isle Media on Vimeo.

Karen and David were lucky enough to have met each other in high school as teenagers.  (If only we could all be so fortunate to meet our soul mate so early on in life)  It seems as though they knew all along that they would one day end up together.  Karen and David had lots of love and support from their entire family.  Even a gorgeous rainbow peaked through the clouds just after they tied the knot.

Congratulations Karen and David!

Happy 1st Birthday Toby!

Toby's 1st Birthday Music Video & Slideshow from Isle Media on Vimeo.

As a proud parent of two, I know first hand how fast the time goes by when you have children. Last time I saw Toby he was just a little (but BIG) boy, and next thing I know he is already turning one! Shine and Tio opened up the doors to their home for us to grab some BTS footage of a day in the life of the Tiotuico family. #TRUELIFE. Look for Toby's "angry face" (or "mommy face" Tio likes to call it). Innocence at its finest.

Happy 1st Birthday Toby!

Kana and Chihiro's Post Wedding Photo Shoot!

It was a great pleasure to work with this fun-loving couple, Kana and Chihiro from Tokyo! After their wedding day, we decided to go to Kailua and have a beach and town-themed photo shoot. One of the props they wanted to use were Supreme's water guns! In between romantic intimate photos, I asked them to pick up the water guns, and fight REAL hard! Both Kana and Chiriro were such action stars! They shoot, dodge, tumble on the sand, and the person who won the fight was… KANA! Later on we went to the first skateboarding shop in Hawaii - called 808 Skate per Chihiro's request. Check out their wedding photo blog (Click Here) to see his skateboarding tricks too!

Congratulations!

綺麗なビーチでの撮影がしたい！ということで、結婚式の翌日にロケーション撮影に行ってきました。朝の東海岸のビーチは海の色がとても綺麗で、この日もとてもいいお天気に恵まれました：）色々なフォトプロップをお持ちいただいたのですが、私のお気に入りはSupremeの水鉄砲！思いっきり戦ってもらいました（笑）撃って、撃って、避けて、撃って、転がって…勝者は花嫁のKanaさん：）アクティブなお二人との撮影はとても楽しかったです。

ビーチの後は、スケボーが好きなChihiroさんのリクエストで、ハワイのスケボー第一店舗だという808 Skateに言ってきました。中には沢山の種類のスケボーが勢揃い。お二人らしい、カラフルな写真になりました。

親友でもあり、夫婦でもあり、そんな仲良しなお二人。これからもお幸せに！

Kana and Chihiro Married ! (Beachfront Oasis, Hawaii Kai)

Kana & Chihiro Wedding Highlights (Beachfront Oasis, Hawaii Kai) from Isle Media on Vimeo.

It is no secret that the Japanese have impeccable style and taste. Kana had the coolest little custom bouquets for her bridesmaid and herself that I had never seen before. Kana had several stunning dress changes as well. Chihiro sported a multi-layered blue pinstripe suit that was just super cool. It's amazing that we have the opportunity to be immersed in foreign cultures here in Hawaii.

Thank you and congratulations to you both!

Jaz and Nick Married

Jaz and Nick had an intimate wedding ceremony at Kakaako with their friends and family.  It was Basketball themed where everyone wore NBA themed jerseys.  Jazz and Nick even wore custom jerseys with their names and had specially made Jordan's that made me want to go out and buy a pair.  The reception that followed took place at Restaurant Suntory where everyone enjoyed Teppanyaki, watching Chefs cook their food before it was served to them.

Makeup & Hair for Maile at Sunset Ranch

Beautiful Maile smiles before she puts on her wedding gown.

See this video for her same day edit highlight.  Enjoy.

Maile and Robert SDE (Sunset Ranch, North Shore)

Maile and Robert Same-Day-Edit from Isle Media on Vimeo.

Maile and Robert built their relationship through a passion they both share: Karate. Throughout the day, we saw just how much these two love the martial art, from the speeches of their fellow dojo members, to the formals where they busted out some moves!

On another note, it really says something about a guy when he is willing to leave his family, friends and job in Slovakia, in order to be with the woman he loves on the other side of the world in Hawaii! Robert did just this, and found ways to blend his own Slovakian heritage with the wedding (i.e the traditional honey cake and dinner blessings in Slovakian!) The couple's big day took place at Sunset Ranch on the North Shore, with lots of family and friends present to help celebrate the occasion. Maile and Robert are also expecting a child, so that definitely added to the festivities of the day! Congratulations you two!

Charity and Brad Married! (Moli'i Gardens, Kaneohe)

Charity and Brad Same-Day-Edit (Moli'i Gardens, Kaneohe) from Isle Media on Vimeo.

When people say we live on a small island, it really is true! This was one of the rare occasions where I happen to know every single person in the bridal party, EXCEPT Brad and Charity! It does sure help when you do have some rapport already with the people that you will be spending the entire day with. But what was memorable was the stormy skies and dark clouds that loomed rather ominously overhead. Scary! It rained....and it poured! But right when the ceremony was about to begin the clouds miraculously parted and the rained stopped (and then it started up again once the ceremony was over, lol). But at least we had a dry ceremony!

Congratulations Charity and Brad!

Kristin and John share a common passion for sports! They were one of several couples this year that themed their wedding reception around basketball. From box office ticket wedding invitations to a tournament style seating chart! Everything turned our great. Thank you for booking us for hair/make-up, photography and videography!
