In 2014 I photographed a lovely wedding in New York City. The bride, Aly Keller. She’s amazing and the wedding was perfect. A couple times since then, I’ve photographed the family and I got to spend some time around them all, including the youngest in the family, Calvin, who’s not so young any more. He’s old enough to get married, in fact. So I was pleased as punch when he texted and said he wanted me to photograph their wedding, and I wasn’t mad when he said it would be in Hawaii in February. A fun coincidence, because Hawaii is just where I would want to be in February.
To make it even better, my wife Amy was able to join me and after the wedding we stuck around for a few days to soak up some sunburns.
The wedding was at the Oahu LDS Temple and the party was at Kualoa Ranch. Because everyone involved was traveling from somewhere other than Hawaii, it was a small guest list. Very intimate and special. One of my favorite weddings of all time. Congratulations Olivia and Calvin.
