Cece I just wanted to let you know,
this morning while having coffee I went through our photos again and had legit tears in my eyes. You two are magic makers and we are STILL so grateful for you! The way you guys capture feeling and movement is my favorite and you both do it so casually. You preserve a feeling. I love it and I am so grateful we stumbled upon you guys.

What a dream team Cece and Caleb are! We can't recommend them highly enough.
We were very laid back on our wedding planning and didn't really think twice about what type of pictures we would like (not to mention we are both camera shy and awkward) and they snuck right in and captured all of the special moments for us to cherish forever! They also went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect for us; preparing a plate of pupus for us just after the wedding portraits, tying up my dress for the reception, cleaning my dress after I spilled cake on it, the list goes on.
Amazing people.
Amazing photographers.

We can't really put into words how in love we are with these photos, and how much we appreciate the extra images you gave us. You guys totally outdid yourselves. We can't stop looking at them, and we don't know how we are ever going to be able to choose our favorites to turn into an album!

We love the Portraits that were done in the grassy area with the trees.. I don't know how, but all of the colors just seemed to tie together so perfectly (and unplanned!).. all of these shots just look so dreamy, like an editorial fairy tale! We also love the golden hour bridals at Kiholo Bay. Some of the prettiest images against the black sand beach!! Thank you so so much for taking us there and for doing that extra shoot for us. Also our favorite photo describes our reality so perfectly: Cheryl in a lovely white dress eating a chip, while Ken has his shirt off drinking a beer LOL soo real!!

Everyone needs to know about your insane talent (although secretly.. we kind of want to keep you our little secret!!) Thank you both again for being the best ever for our day. We both feel so lucky that you guys were our photographers and it's such a huge compliment to hear you say that you thought our wedding was beautiful and one for the books! Looking at all these photos make us miss the Big Island so much - we can't wait to come back!! <3

ran above our house to dip in the creek and listen ran above our house to dip in the creek and listen to the trees 🌼

being in front of the camera has always been a trigger for me. aside from self portraits because i’m simultaneously the photographer as I am the subject. but when others are photographing me, i literally feel imposter syndrome over being human. like who am i and why am i wearing a skin suit and why is this confusion being documented. the whole experience really is so bizarre and it takes a while to get out of my head lol.

this is something i’ve always wanted to explore. being photographed seems like some sort of exposure therapy to me. and asking clients to be vulnerable with me in this way all of the time is pretty major. in the recent years i’ve tapped in to ask myself, “what are you feeling underneath the discomfort? why is it that you feel so uncomfortable? what other situations make you feel this way?” the answers that come up are really insightful. if the intention is set correctly, being photographed can act as a safe space for us to learn about ourselves, challenge our fear, let it go, and step into our worth. worth that shouldn’t feel voodoo to embody.

if we come into your photo session together, holding space for the discomfort while letting go of the attachment to perfection, the pressure melts away. the experience becomes fun while creativity and expression flow from an authentic place. we capture the beauty of who you are in your life, right now. and i promise you walk away with an experience that just felt good to express. it’s like hitting the dance floor even when you’re sober or singing in front of a crowd. as scary as it initially may be, it just feels good to be a raw and real human, breaking free from the ego ✨

something i love about being a destination photogr something i love about being a destination photographer is the language barrier you encounter at times. Xiaoyin and Yu Chi were so precious. at the start of most sessions where language has a barrier, i express through google translate that I want them to embrace each other, have fun, and pretend i’m taking a video of their love. questionnaires beforehand help soooo much as well. one of the questions I love asking my couples is “what do you want your photos to feel like?” - this establishes a feeling for both them and i that translates so well in the imagery. 

the entire session we made funny gestures, giggled, embraced the elements, and just felt an overall authenticity. from the moment we got there she kicked off her shoes, ran around in her dress, made out with her boo, and embodied the most wild and free feminine spirit I had ever seen. i just adore these two 🫶🏼
