Commissioned to Photograph an Amazing
Destination Wedding in Hawaii.
Destination Wedding in Hawaii.
Anneka & Jerry's Gorgeous Wedding
The HiloYacht Club in Hilo, Hawaii
Earlier this year I had the distinct privilege to photograph Anneka and Jerry's engagement photos by the Manhattan Beach Pier. It was such a beautiful day with a magnificent and stunning sunset.
A picture perfect day with a picture perfect couple.

Even though I had shot their engagement photos, I had a vision and I wanted to do something very special and "DIFFERENT."
In photography, I'm reminded that "you don't have to be better, you have to be different."
Consequently, I decided to purchase an AquaTech™ water proof casing/housing for my brand new Canon™ 5D Mark III, and shoot a "concept" engagement session, also by the Manhattan Beach Pier, but this time a little "different," this time IN THE water, and this time at sunrise.

Yikes, a brand new camera, with a brand new wide angle lens, with a brand new casing, mixed in water, yes, an ocean full of it, brings high risk.
With high risk, there is high reward. What if the water casing for the camera leaks? What if the o-ring fails? What if my camera gets ruined? And what if they are spectacular? And what if they are amazing? No bunts, no runs to first base.
Home runs!!
Swing for the fences baby!!
It was time. It was time to step out of the comfort zone, take the proverbial "plunge," and enter the MAGIC zone. Thank you Anneka and Jerry for trusting my intuition in creating magical memories. Legacy images.
In the photo above, you can see that the sun is just about to overwhelm the photo and blow out the whole picture. At the same time, a mysterious fog rolled in, creating a hazy, dream-like look that almost clouded the pier. I admit it was scary for a second being enveloped by fog, near a pier with crusty and sharp barnacles on the pilings.

Anneka and Jerry were as willing and enthusiastic about their engagement photo session as I was and this helped because you can see their passion in their expression that radiates throughout their photos. Great job Anneka and Jerry.
When they asked me if I would like to shoot their wedding, a "destination" wedding in Hilo, Hawaii no less, I was beyond honored and privileged to be commissioned to photograph their BIG Day.
The photos below are broken down into various sections, though not in chronological order:
