Last week, Beloved Weddings shot a gorgeous wedding at the famous Haiku Mill. I personally had an amazing time shooting the wedding couple because it was just so obvious how in love and happy they truly were. For a photographer, that chemistry makes for great portraits and a fun time.
If you don't believe me, just look for yourself!
Beloved has been doing so much recently, making a blog post ends up being tricky. However, here I am this morning with the chance to write one!
I attend a church here on Maui called Kings Cathedral and what a blessing it has been! I use to never go to church and thought so many bad things about it and anything in relation to God. I use to be an angry person, due to many life circumstances and issues. For some reason though, one day back when I was in high school, I asked my wife if I could come with her to church. (She was of course my girlfriend at the time). She agreed and I went. At the time, I had so many mixed emotions before entering. "What are people going to think of me?" "Is it going to be boring?". Long story short, it was everything that I needed. I got saved the very next service and committed my life to Christ Jesus. Let me tell you, when that moment happens, the feeling is indescribable. The best way for me to put it into words is an excitement, joy, laughter and weightlessness that happens and all the bad memories and pains, hurts that you have experienced become viewed from a different perspective. Instead of my head always being down, suddenly it was lifted. Boy, I could not even put my hands down that whole service. I was sitting there with them up the entire time. When you finally surrender to Christ and let him come into your life, there is not a better moment.
Anyways, enough about me! Dr. Marocco is the head Pastor along with several other family members. The church has extensions worldwide and it is constantly growing, spreading The Gospel and leading thousands to salvation. They have done many amazing things here for the community and it was an amazing opportunity to be invited into their home to shoot their family portrait.

I had a wonderful time shooting this couple's wedding. Being that it was my first wedding shoot on Front St. in Lahaina, I was really eager to get working.
A couple of days before the wedding, I had the privilege of shooting the couple in a quick "E" session. I can't stress enough how important these sessions are. It really does help make your clients feel at ease in front of the camera. So after the wedding, I received a big thank you from the bride and groom for simply making them feel "comfortable". It is simply amazing how valuable an hour out of your day to help make your clients feel ready can truly be.
I would like to give a warm thank you to Lena from First Class Weddings for coordinating the event flawlessly!
Hello all! I apologize for not posting in quite some time but hopefully this will help make up for it!
Tomorrow, one of my favorite bands, The Almost will be launching what I think could be described as a "Pre-order Special" for their upcoming new album titled "Monster Monster".
We have finally done it! There is a new gallery up within the online portfolio of Beloved Weddings. You should check it out. Below are a few new images from the gallery. I hope to have many more requests for these "Trash The Dress" sessions. Who's next?
