Makeup & Hair for Yana from Vladivostock, Russia!

Here’s another beautiful bride I got to work with earlier this month.  Yana, her hubby and their two year old son flew all the way from Russia to renew their vows in the beautiful island of Oahu.  Knowing there are thousands of people that fly in to Hawaii reminds me how lucky I am to live in one of the most beautiful places on earth. 

Working with this beautiful bride is so much fun and effortless.  In my opinion, Yana’s beauty is unique as I rarely see Russians here in Hawaii.  With my experience of working in the fashion and beauty industry, I have come across different face features and ethnicities.  I must admit Russian women are among those who are blessed with beautiful features.  Yana, is one of the many that I enjoyed applying makeup on because of her smooth skin and her almond-shaped eyes makes it easy regardless of color and effects.
Thank you for stopping by.

Happy 1st Birthday Bradley! (Bishop Museum)




Here is a sample slideshow that played at Bradley's birthday party, incorporating both photos and videos from Bradley's first year of life. We ended the reel with some beautiful footage shot on the day of the party, surprising some of the guests as well. Bradley looked so dapper in his magician outfit!
Happy 1st Birthday Bradley!

Nelli and Jason Engaged!

It's a bit of an understatement to say Nelli and Jason love the San Francisco 49'ers lol. Aside from matching Willis jerseys, the couple has a wide range of 49er memorabilia, which made for a great football theme. Nelli and Jason enjoy throwing around a football outside, so that also landed on the engagement agenda. After that, we decided to change things up and cruise around Chinatown for some nice afternoon light to end the shoot :)

Congratulations you two...the big day is coming up soon!

Kat and Paul Engaged!


Kat and Paul has been together for a long time...they just made 9 years together :) We scheduled their engagement session right before Paul departed for Afghanistan. The shoot took place at a marina and a gorgeous sand bar next to Hickam base...the sunshine and blue skies definitely helped to set the mood for the shoot! It was so much fun to include their dog for some action shots too! Paul is very passionate about basketball and his Scion, both of which we were able to incorporate into the shoot. There was definitely no shortage of laughter and smiles during our session :) Congratulations on your engagement, guys...can't wait for your big day in July!

Dennis and Argie Same-Day-Edit (Waikiki, Oahu)




Argie and Dennis had of an epic love story that started as being high school sweethearts. It was only suitable that they had an epic wedding consisting a beautiful ceremony at the Hilton Hawaiian Village's Crystal Chapel and an elaborate reception at the Hyatt, following. What I loved about working with Argie and Dennis is the movie trailer we filmed prior to their wedding!  Check it out!

Movie Trailer for Argie and Dennis!



Argie and Dennis came up with a clever idea to create a movie trailer. One of their inspirations was "The Lucky One" a story by Nicholas Sparks. We all had a lot of fun to say the least, and tried to mix up the drama with some comic relief. Thank you for the opportunity to try new things!

Alysia and Mike Married! (Hawaii Kai, Oahu)


Alysia and Mike Wedding Highlights (Hawaii Kai, Oahu) from Isle Media on Vimeo.

We always love it when couples take the time to write their vows to each other, and Alysia and Mike's were written straight from the heart...when your vows take up an entire piece of paper, instead of a notecard, that's saying a lot! We also appreciated all the details of the day, from the glass lanterns, to the bridal party's fans, to Alysia's very cool retro umbrella. When these two held each other during formals, it was as if the whole world just melted away...gotta love moments like that :)

Congratulations!
