Keep the Country Country

Another fantastic assignment with the Honolulu Weekly. Here's the link to the article:

The Matoons, a lovely couple from Punalu'u, helped to start the "keep the country country" campaign on the island of Oahu back in the 70s. They are still going strong as community activists and voices of sustainable and smart growth in the rural regions of Oahu, and I had the privilege of meeting them, talking to them, and snapping some images of them in their garden and "front yard", the Kamehaha Highway Punalu'u Bridge construction project.....

SHAVE THE DATE.....a barbershop engagement shoot

 Heather and Thomas  met while working at a salon together. They wanted to create a fun announcement for their wedding to send out to friends and family, so I told them to call it a "Shave the Date" card.

In the meantime, here's a look at some of the love stories I've been a part of.... DANIEL AND KEVIN.... Two sweet guys from Seattle, came to Oahu with 3 best friends and 5 family members to celebrate their civil union. The ceremony was at a lovely house in West Oahu, with a gorgeous view of the ocean and sunset. A large wooden Tiki helped keep the mood light and celebratory. Kevin's best friend, Eric, and his partner of 14 years, Nick, decided that they would get a civil union while in Hawaii; a perfect way to celebrate with each other!
