Last week Kim and I traveled to the Martinelli Event Center, for the long awaited wedding of Brian and James. You could absolutely feel the love as Brian and James exchanged vows in the warm September sunlight. It was amazing, filled with joyous friends and family, tons of fun and stylish details, and pure emotion-- a perfect day.

Tomorrow Brandon and Rachel will marry, at the Loulu Palm Estate on the north shore of Oahu. This morning we gathered on the beach to rehearse, and it was absolutely beautiful. The officiant asked Brandon and Rachel to decide *exactly* where on the beach they wanted to marry. They looked around, and Brandon found a rock, with his name on it-- really! And so they found their spot. Here is a tease of what is to come. Mahalo!

Kim and I had the pleasure of heading out to the coast for the lovely wedding of Melanie and David. When we arrived at Liquid Sky in Half Moon Bay, the fog was rolling in, wave after wave, with blue sky peeking through. It was magical! Following the ceremony, we took Melanie and David down to the beach, for some fun pictures. The celebration continued at Cetrella-- an excellent meal, a rockin' band, and tons of family and friends made the evening complete!

Did I mention there were AMAZING shoes? On Melanie, on the bridesmaids, on the flower girl!

 

Kim and I were back in the Presidio last week, for the wedding of Mimi and Chris. And what a day it was! Absolutely beautiful from beginning to end-- a feast for photographers! Mimi was radiant in not one, not two, but three incredible dresses! Special thanks to Taylor from Hale Events for making this event extra extra special, as well as the talented people at Passiflora, and Enhanced Lighting.

And we just shot an engagement session for him. My Baby Brother.
My sweet, lovable, honey of a brother is not just getting married, but he happens to be marring one of MY closest friends - Rachel. How excited am I? So, so, so excited.
From the moment my brother met Rachel, about ten years ago, he has had a crush on her. And even through Rachel was in a relationship at the time ... she always had a crush on him as well.
 It only took them 7 YEARS to finally be single at the same time.

The story goes....
Kim: "Hey Brandon, guess who just became single?"
Brandon: (total deadpan) " Rachel.... Give me her number."

He called that night, and they went on a date the next day.
They have been connected at the hip ever since!

Check out some of our favorite shots from the session below and keep you eyes peel for their Hawaiian wedding in a few weeks!
Niki will be shooting while Kim drinks Pina Coladas under the palm trees! Kim is happy!


This is by far one my favorite images ever taken of me. Oh, and Brandon, my brother, is in it too... hahaha. Precisely the reason I love it so. Thanks Nik.....
