Red Heart Photography » wedding lifestyle photography in Hawaii

Yesterday I flew into Kona for a quick ceremony and portrait session with the most IN-LOVE couple ever.  Christina was giddy with excitement and Justin was the tall silent but strong type.  So hot!

It was just the two of them and we took full advantage of the grounds at Kona Village.   

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the shoes!!!!

A couple they had met on their plane from LA was staying in the hale (house in Hawaiian) near our shoot.  Turns out they all had a horse back riding trip planned for today. 

The pastor was commenting on her red heels.  She walked in sand and over lava rocks for me in those hot shoes!

Congrats Christina and Justin!  Have a great honeymoon in Kona!!!!

Yesterday was SO amazing.  Erica and her bridesmaid got ready at the newly renovated Royal Hawaiian Hotel in Waikiki.  I am so in love with the wallpaper!

Erica wore a birdcage veil and a couture dress made in England by her now sister-in-law.  Her bouquet was hand crafted by her mother.  So much talent in this family!

Simon and the guests were waiting for us at Lanai Lookout.  It is a beautiful bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean right past Haunama Bay.  I kicked off my shoes and shot the whole ceremony barefoot.  I really didn’t want to fall off the cliff!!!!

Simon took Erica back to the Royal Hawaiian on a Vespa!   What else do you expect from a guy that asks his groomsmen to wear Fred Perry polos?

That evening they held a reception at La Mariana Sailing Club.  I have been dying to shoot a wedding reception here.  The old timey Hawaiian tiki bar ambiance was perfect for this event.

Congrats Erica and Simon!  I wish the best for you and your new little family.

Special thanks to Carrie Hasson getting up super early and for being my awesome lighting assistant!

very healthy

Here’s his little face.  See his arm and hand under his chin?  He’s already posing….

And undeniable proof that he is a HE!
