Let me introduce you to this couple, Larissa and Grant. Larissa is from Germany and Grant is in the Navy. Although this was a destination wedding for me, Larissa and Grant both live in Hawaii so they know all the hottest places to eat and take guests out.  The wedding was taken place at Moli'i Gardens in Kualoa Ranch, which is minutes away from Chinaman's Hat. It was a small intimate wedding so we got to know the guests pretty well. The landscape and scenery was more than I could ask for. Just beautiful. Well, anything is better than taking pictures in NJ right? Hawaii might sound fun and exotic, but there are some trade backs that I am still facing like extreme jetlag, uneven tan lines, and my skin peeling like a reptile.

We'll start this set with an HDR (2 stops of light) landscape portrait.


























































Story behind this picture is that Larissa showed an image of this lady to the hair stylist and told her she wanted her hair to be like this lady. The hairstylist freaked out. We all had a really good laugh out of it. Such a great way to start out on the day of the wedding!
