I flew out to Hawaii to photograph Lisa and Nick’s wedding at the Hale Koa Resort. All of you in Missouri and from the mainland in general know that it wasn’t too hard to talk me into leaving Missouri in the middle of a cold February (my mom said the windchill was 5 degrees the other day, yikes!). Although the weather was a good motivator, I also sort of fell in Love with Lisa over the phone, and couldn’t say no 
In one of those small world stories, Lisa and Nick both have family from St. Louis, although they met in L.A. and got married in Hawaii. Lisa and I were actually able to have coffee at the St. Louis Bread Co just a couple of weeks before the wedding.
I will have a longer post with more photographs from the wedding in a week or so, but for now wanted to share not only a few of my favorites from the wedding, but also some of the fun personal work I did while in Hawaii, as well as some portraits of a beautiful friend.
As always, thanks for looking and reading. I feel so honored and blessed with the life I have, and the trust that couples’ place in me.
