What an amazing privilege it is to hang with the Austin Crew at the Fast Track Roadshow workshop. What a gift!

The PUG was awesome and the workshop even more intimate. Looking forward to coming back to that neck of the woods soon for PartnerCon New Orleans!

Special thanks to the Portland crew for blessing Austin too… Yum yum yum…

LOVE you guys. Can’t wait to share some pictures from the lightning storm shoot-out… incredible! Special thanks to all the sponsors for their support. We couldn’t do these things without you! Also, Studio 563 were just amazing hosts. Thank you.

Everything about Erin and Austin’s wedding here in Maui, played out without a hitch, right down to the perfect sunset. The bummer part is if you shoot weddings like this too often, you begin to believe this is normal. Here are a few images from the day…

Erin stylin’ even before the day started rolling…

I loved this picture of Erin and her Mom getting ready next to each other.

Bling Bling Hawaiian Style…

Final touches…

First moment…

Gorgeous couple!

The day was perfect.

Sunset in Maui is like no other place I’ve ever shot.

A great way to start a life together…

Thanks you two and bless you. I can’t wait to connect in Seattle!

Here’s the full slideshow!

Keep it true.

PS… Again, I’ve said it a lot already on this trip, but special thanks has to go out to David Hessemer for his support this week. It’s amazing how a great experience in a foreign land can become an extraordinary experience with a true local. He’s the master of Aloha spirit and “get it” professionalism… you are an absolute treat to work with David… Mahalo!

Maui Engagement!

We arrived last night to Maui and settled in with the fam. This morning, while Tami hit the beach with the kiddos, I headed up the coast to shoot Erin and Austin’s e-session before their wedding Sunday. I’ve been on fire updating my twitter because I’m just so blown away by this place.

I say it all the time, but couples that know what they’re about always have the best weddings. That is totally the case with these two. All their choices seem to flow from who they are.

For a lot of people, going to Hawaii is the vacation from life. For Erin, it’s like her second home. Everything just feels right about this weekend.

I’m super stoked on my partner in crime for this event. David Hessemer is not only a local with all the inside low down, but he’s a total servant. I would have never found these amazing spots without him.

It’s always special too when couples feel safe enough to share how they’re honestly feeling as the big day approaches.

The best part is these two are just so themselves with each other. It was a treat just to hang with them…

By the end of the day it seemed like they were just itchin’ to get busy with the wedding. I can’t wait until Sunday!

Keep it coastal.
