Hawaii {Ka’ena Point State Park}

I was blessed enough to join Sherri, Bert, Bella, Chloe, and Christian in this majestic place in Oahu, Hawaii. So blessed that I stuffed my eyes with all this beauty…even if it was only for a few hours.

This was the last photo before I fell, my right foot hit a rock (dislocated my toe), and my camera swam in the ocean and experienced major water damage! I wish I had more time to go out in the water but I had to be thankful for the time I had. RIP my beloved Canon 5D Markii.

Chloe + Christian {Wedding}

THEY DID IT! Chloe + Christian are MARRIED!!! They said their vows in front of family and friends and threw a party! The shortest engagement EVER and they wouldn’t have it any other way! Thanking God for such a beautiful day and for the many hands and hearts that were involved in putting this wedding together. I was NOT the official photographer, y’all. This is just me clicking at things I saw as beautiful and being totally spontaneous. I was also being mindful of not getting into the photographer’s way so most of my shots were candid. And I only have a few of the ceremony because I didn’t move from my seat. :) This is my way of telling a story of my youngest daughter’s wedding. So thankful for the beautiful February weather in Vegas and for family and friends who came from all over to show love and support. Thankful most of all for God’s presence and His extravagant GRACE.

“In marriage do thou be wise: prefer the person before money, virtue before beauty, the mind before the body; then thou has a wife, a friend, a companion, a second self.” ~ William Penn
