Joy, laughter, anticipation, butterflies, bliss, tension, and relief. Wedding days run high on a multitude of emotions and it's what has kept me hooked year after year. Most of us, at one point or another, have looked back on our own parents or grandparents wedding photos with some sense of adoration and nostalgia. It is with this same sentiment that I strive to document weddings. Your wedding photographs should ripen over time, offering a delayed reaction that grows more meaningful as life carries on and memories fade.

Mikayla and Ramsey held their wedding at the Royal Hawaiian on a sunny September day of 2024. Set amongst the bustling beaches of Waikiki, the historic pink hotel is hard to miss. It was one of the very first resorts to pop up on the coast in the 1920s and boasts beautiful historic architecture and charm.
Gage, having been born and raised in Hawaii grew up with his grandfathers stories arriving in Hawaii in the 30’s when it was the only hotel standing for miles. We were both beyond excited to finally shoot here and it did not disappoint.
They chose to have their ceremony at the St Augustine by the Sea and reception back at the hotel where all 230 guests would gather.
Ramsey being Samoan, and Mikayla having grown up in Texas, both leaned into their respective cultures in such fun ways. From traditional Samoan dances, classic country line dances, a Catholic Church service, and sprinkling in Hawaiian customs throughout the day, it did not disappoint.
This day was full of color, vintage flare, and PINK and would not have been possible without the collaboration of the amazing vendors:
