I hope all you viewers took a couple minutes to read Scott's last post, which included a few of the photos from Alice and I's wedding day, and got you up to speed for this post. Of course being photographers, visiting a tropical island for 10 days, we didn't...
I have to admit that writing this post is difficult. With that statement, you might be asking "why?" Well, this post is about the marriage that took place in, hands down, the most beautiful place I have ever been, and also with one of the...
Organized chaos was the theme of December. The business is going gangbusters (both on the personal and commercial side of photography), Alice and I just tied the knot in Hawaii and are quickly approaching our January local reception. Oh, you didn't think I was done, did you?...
Well, December 5th sure got here fast! Seemed like last June's proposal was only a couple weeks ago. The business has kept us so busy that the trip to Hawaii literally snuck up on us, resulting in a late night packing scramble, a 3-hour nights "sleep," and...
Still in Maui, loving every minute of it. The wedding event, as well as the trash the dress shoot, are over (pictures on this coming later this week). We scheduled a couple extra days to vacation in paradise after all the wedding busyness before we head back to the mainland. Anywho... had a fun story to share with you all today. Pictured above is myself (left) and my good friend, Andy (right). Yes, that is a wave coming right at us, and yes, it was quite a few feet taller than we were. Maui had just been slammed with a monsoon. Heavy rains and winds reformed the beach overnight, creating to what Andy and I were to soon find out the hard way - very high, hard hitting waves that only left a few inches of water for you to land in when the wave punished you. This was... about wave 4 or 5, and the biggest and last one we decided to try and take-on that day. Water, it's a pretty powerful force. Clearly something Andy and I didn't have a full respect for until we were completely owned and nearly drowned. We were in about the worst point for this thing too. As it hit, we were both instantly at it's mercy. It sent me directly to the floor, hitting so hard it knocked out any air that was presently in my lungs (which was most needed at this moment in time), and put me in a tumble of which I couldn't tell you how many times I rolled as I was still in the middle of the aquatic carnage. Andy didn't fair much better, as his body board was wedged under his arm and the sea floor, the water attempting to dislocate his shoulder.
Yep, headed somewhere tropical in the middle of December - Maui. Got a call about six months back from a new client, "hey can you shoot a wedding...
