Robert and Jaime Barnes Wedding at Loulu Palms

The beauty looking through an empty paper towel role

A question was brought up to me during Robert and Jaime's wedding by one of the coordinators and asked "When you take these pictures what goes through your mind?" I said "I think every photographer talk to themselves during the whole ceremony getting the right shots, when I was a little girl my mother always threw away the empty paper towel role, but I'd ask my mom, can I have that please, mom would look at me wierd and just gave it to me. Just think after many years of pulling that empty paper towel role and looked through it like a telescope, I saw everything differently and fell through a whole new dimension of a new world through this paper towel role. I'd ask myself, what are the ants on the plant talking about when they connected to eachother, how is it that my little bonzai plant looks like a full grown tree looking from a bottom view,... now I'd say an example in this picture, what is the father and the bride talking about while they walk down to her husband to be. This has always been my personal favorite part of the ceremony, Father and Bride walk. Just by looking at the pictures, can you see what they are talking about?... hmmmm

Mr. Bohannon and daughter bride Jaime

I can put my own illustrations to this, but I would want you to see the beauty of pictures through an empty paper towel role.

Charles and Natalie Hawaiian beach wedding

Video by: Dream Weddings Hawaii, Steven Young

In the begining the Hawaiians believe that the first man was created by sand and with life, and also with life came responsibility. His responisbility was to care for all things created before him, animals of the sea, the heavens, and of the land, and in return all thing before him (we call the elders), would care for him. You may know it as the circle of life. Over a time as man would care for his elders, (the land, the sea and of the heavens) man would find a very dear friend, sometimes in front of him, sometime behind of him, sometimes next to him, but never so far away. That's when first man found his shadow, the Gods found him lonely so they took his shadow and created first woman. Always close to him, but never so far away.

To the island of my father's roots...Kauai

When Rev. Parker received a message asking of his availability to a wedding, to be held in Kauai, he accepted with joy, to his delight he will be returning to the homeland of his father's lineage. While sitting in 1st class for 30 minutes of flight time, his thoughts and spirit would fly ahead to Kaua`i preparing for his homecoming. Upon landing excitement was in the air, the elders and ancestors knew of Rev. Parker's returning, the soft nahenahe wind, the waves breaking on the shoreline and the trees all around, knows this child belong to us, honouring his presence with a simple sign of acknowledgement.

Within this village, Happiness is in the heart of a family.

About six months ago, Sky and Iwi stopped by with La'akea for a private baby blessing introducing his grandson to his ancestors of the Heavens, the Ocean, and of the Land.
