[Maui Kim]

Really nice Joanna...It was a good wedding. They were a very mellow couple. I like them all:)

i remember that place, very nice joanna. #3's my fav

[notapro]

I love #3. I guess it may not seem it to you anymore, but I can only imagine that it would be pretty incredible to live and work in places like that. it's so beautiful!

[islandphoto]

Thanks guys! 3 is one of my favorites out of the whole batch of photos. I just think the trees are so pretty :) Maui Tropical Plantations is such a great place to shoot a wedding! THere is grenery everywhere and lots of good photo opportunities. I like shooting at the beach but there's so many more challenges with the sun and wind and reflection etc... I do feel blessed to live and work in such a beautiful place. In fact Maui Tropical Plantations is about 2 minutes from my house :)

great colors. love #3

Thanks Mrs.Opie. Colors were slightly enhanced in lightroom.

I really like her dress... they're beautiful photos :)

Joanna,

Very well done set...lovely colors and a beautiful couple :)

I really like #3 and #4. I agree with you that the sun flare is a very nice touch and it offers something different for the B&G to remember their special day by.

The bouquet is huge but I think it goes with the tropical paradise you all enjoy...so it fits right in.

Thanks for sharing :)

Beautiful shots...very vibrant.

Cupcakes DO look good too....;)

thanks so much for the comments guys!

Love the shot of the shoes, the second ring shot looks amazing with the background colour too. Great job.

Thanks! The shoe shot was nothing too special until I converted it to Black and white and bumped up the contrast... The pink dress really added to the colors of the day for sure. Her bridesmaid's mom made it for her. I like it because it's so different than any other dress. Here's one of the girls dresses.
