Lanai Love





















Under a sky hung with stars, just outside of Hana, Hawaii, Mark and Jen were taking an after dinner walk down the beach in Feb 2007. Mark pointed out a large rock on the ground to Jen, but she was far more interested in remembering her astronomy and pointing out constellations. It took Mark another pass by the out of place engraved river rock and a perfect beam of moonlight to show off the important question, "Jen, will you marry me?".
The answer of course was yes, and Mark's efforts at carrying the ten pound rock to and fro were rewarded when they found the perfect spot to have their wedding the following year. Lanai is a small island off the coast of Maui, famous for it's nature and pineapple plantation past. The wedding took place at the Four Seasons Manele Bay, where a pod of dolphins are your snorkel buddies and the natural beauty makes you pinch yourself to believe you are really there. Jen had the vision of a 1940's era old plantation feel for the wedding, and her Grace Kelly inspired hair and dress were perfect for the environment. It was an amazing event with incredible people. Mahalo!

The Terrific Two's






Meet Owen,  a contender for cutest two year old this side of the Mississippi.  Owen's parents Jennifer and Dan wanted a special portrait for his birthday, and we had fun running around Redmond and finding cool locations like the new City Hall building.  The bear sculptures were at the Redmond Town Center, proving that great locations really can be right in your back yard.

Monique and Theron






With a march wedding soon to celebrate, we all headed to the beach on a recent winter weekend to get some cozy snaps and show off Monique's penchant for flip flops. They have a great story, but I'll save that for their post wedding post. Enjoy!
