Bone Marrow Registry Golf Tournament

Recently we received the opportunity to give back to the community and provide our services to Hawaii's Bone Marrow Donor Registry at their annual golf tournament held at the Hawaii Prince Golf course.  Volunteers, bone marrow donors, and recipients gathered together and had a great time on the golf course.  It's always great to be able to do what you love for a worthy cause, I was extremely humbled in the dinner that took place after the tournament as cancer survivors talked about their experiences.

Jane and Harold Married !! // (Paradise Cove, Koolina)

Jane and Harold Same-Day-Edit (Paradise Cove, Koolina) from Isle Media on Vimeo.

We highly encourage our couples to loosen up on the big day. Sometimes, if may require a little alcoholic influence, in which we say go for it! Jane and Harold sure didn't hold back on that one (LOL). My favorite line during their personalized vow exchange was, "I am yours, and you are MINE." Written by Harold #likeaboss! They had a couples Tahitian duet together towards the peak of the night which made the audience roar with laughter and applause. What a great day and night!

Congratulations Jane and Harold!

Before & After Hair & Makeup for Melanie!

Melanie looks elegant and chic wearing this classic wedding chignon wrapped with a braid giving her hair an intricate look.  For makeup, a tinge of pink was highlighted on her eyes and applied on her cheeks and lips.  The white flower in the hair is a great touch for this formal bridal look.

Cori and Justin's marriage is another beautiful story of local girl meets mainland boy. We were happy to see splashes of Hawaii culture integrated into their wedding day, including a personalized Hula surprise for him. But thats not all, Cori even designed custom jewelry for all her bridesmaids. She is super talented! And Justin loves his J's! I was informed that by licking the shoes you claim them as yours. I learn something new everyday! Lol.

Congratulations Cori and Justin!

Maria and Daniel Same-Day-Edit (Hilton Hawaiian Village, Waikiki)

Maria and Daniel first inquired with us over a year and a half ago, and it was so nice for their big day to finally come around.  What was most impressive was that Maria and Daniel have been together 17+ years!   They are originally from New Zealand, although they currently live in Australia....and brought a chill, laid back island vibe to their wedding day (thank you for that!).  We loved their grande entrance, and the many little cultural touches they had to the decor and entertainment.  

Congratulations Maria and Daniel.  You made it!   Cheehoo!

Field Trip to Kunia Camp (Kunia, Oahu)

Trip to Kunia Camp from Isle Media on Vimeo.

I had the honor and privilege of being asked to shoot Kunia Camp's first ever field trip to youth wanting to learn more about local agriculture and sustainability.   We started off in the kukui nut fields where the students picked and bagged nuts gathered by hand.  From there the nuts were counted, weighed and husked.  We learned about the many different applications to the kukui nut, including, oil, lip balm, lotion, soap and even salad dressing!   The students participated in harvesting and sanitizing their own lettuce.   Last, we sampled sugar case juice freshly squeezed from a sugar cane processor.  Lunch was complete!   Yum!

Thanks Kunia Camp for allowing me to be part of this project!  Lucky we live Hawaii!

Leilani and Miles Married!

Seeing Leilani and Miles get married was an event to behold.  It was a reunion of sorts as many old friends from my High school days gathered together to celebrate and watch them cross over into their life together.  In a way this made me feel like my own sister was getting married.
