More Hawaii Sunsets

Long Weekend Fun in Hawaii

Just a few from a busy weekend.  

The limo with no AC

I can deal with a Limo with no air conditioning if it's a '66 Volkswagen Bus! Thanks to Mark Douglass for the awesome ride from Ihilani to Waialae Beach Park. Now to convince my wife that I need one of these....

 

Hawaii Weddings - The cool kids - Kuuloa Ranch Molii Gardens

I've lived here most of my life, but this is the first time I've been to Secret Island. After a short rain soaked boat ride, a little stroll through the rain forest, a little private beach waited for us. More to come!

Hawaii Engagement - Alina and Elliot - Lanikuhonua Beach

All the way from New York, Alina and Elliot decided that the Ihilani Hotel was the place for their wedding. Another great sunset down at Lanikuhonua Beach along with some after dark shots on the property.

This has to be illegal...

- forty something pairs of sponsors, walking down the aisle!!!!

- an Okinawan lion dance at a filipino wedding!!! That was pretty funny :)

Always excited when new things happen... Jennifer's a special person to my family as she was Jordan's first pre-school teacher and someone that she just adores and admires. We worked along side Patricia Inoue from the Treasure Chest and the awesome crew from Studio Red.

Location - Hawaii Prince Hotel and WJNS  (wow, I never knew there was a website!)

Elliot and Alina | Wedding at Ihilani JW Marriott

Just a quick preview. Another great sunset and another wrong forecast thankfully. The rain stayed away from Ihilani. More to come soon...

This is the reason why I come home with sand in my shoes...

Alina and Elliot sneak peek

Just wanted to share a few from another great sunset out at the West side. Another great couple from New York! Can't wait until the wedding on Friday at Ihilani!

Sunburned!!

I guess the only downside to working outdoors in Hawaii is getting sunburned. 

Here's a few from this past weekend!

Hon and David had an amazing wedding. Katy from Katy Castillo Weddings really went above and beyond and everything looked perfect. With the group traveling from San Jose, the weather held up and we had an incredible sunset.

Kakaako Park Sunset

Out of my way...

Getting the shot doesn't mean you have to get in the way. I love how this picture (Thanks Skyler!) shows my typical "duck and shoot" move. Part of our goals to being a wedding photographer here at Renai Photography is to always be aware of not only the bride and groom, but also the guests as well. I'm pretty sure that they would much rather see the cake cutting than to look at the back of my head (although I did have a pretty good hair day). 

 
 Has to be one of the best cake tops I've seen so far...

Lanikuhonua wedding

Just a couple for now from this past weekends wedding. Stay tuned for more!

SPAM!!!!

As much as everyone here in Hawaii loves Spam, Yahoo or Hotmail doesn't. It looks like some of our return emails get automatically sent to your SPAM box. If you filled out our contact form on the website and don't hear from us, PLEASE check your SPAM box.

Thanks!

David and Heather - Waimanalo Beach and Willows

Location - Waimanalo Beach Park and The Willows

Brett and Laurel

Just one for now.

Rich and Holly - Koolau Ballrooms

Location - Koolau Ballrooms

Even though the rain had pushed everything indoors, the staff at Koolau did an excellent job in moving the entire ceremony.

Happy New Year!

With a very successful year in 2008, we are looking forward to 2009! And with the new year, we'd like to introduce a few new things.

First off, OUR NEW NUMBER... We're phasing out our old office number and will be using this one (808)-330-3160. Most of you will not notice as we've been phasing out the old one for a while now. As always, email or just call us anytime. Please note that sometimes our emails end up in our clients SPAM box, so please check that if you have not heard from us. Our normal response time is pretty quick as with technology now days, we are always connected to the internet.

OUR NEW LOGO!... As time goes by, you'll start to see the new logo take over while the old one gets the boot!

FACEBOOK!... Hook up with Renai Photography on Facebook. Just click here Become a fan. Make us feel good :) We need more friends.

OUR OFFICE... is FINALLY getting painted. After about 6 months of trying to do it ourselves, we finally gave up and decided to hire the pros. It should be done this week, so if you are in town feel free to make an appointment to stop by.

FLICKR.. we're finally on flickr (click here) Our goal with Flickr is geared mostly for the photo enthusiasts. With weekly emails from people that want to learn how we do things, especially lighting, this is a good way for us to explain how certain shots were taken. There is no secret to photography. Everything you need to know is on the internet. Learning takes a lot of patience. Our goal is not only to educate our couples, but also anyone interested (or willing!) to listen. So if you have any questions, please feel free to post it in the comments section of each picture.

RENNAN and JORDAN...My inspirations and my biggest fans! Rennan just made a year and Jordan is almost 5 now. As most of you know, the reason why I became a photograher was because of them. Rennan's a handful and I'm usually chasing him around the office!

And finally OUR BLOG... We'll start to update this more often. (I say this, but we still have weddings from last year that we need to post!!! :) But please check back often. Hopefully this will be a way to get to know us better.

Thanks! And looking forward to a great 2009!!!!
