james + joanna | hawaii wedding photographer


Sooooo, James + Joanna just might be two of the nicest people in the world. Let me get that out there first. Like so nice, Joanna wrote me a handwritten thank you note, after engagement pictures – because she’s just the best with a heart of gold! Getting to see these wonderful people share vows, surrounded by this much love was so heart warming. Like their kindness makes you cheer for them to have awesome things happen for them in life – and luckily, getting married checked that box! I absolutely adored getting to spend the day with Joanna + James, they had one of the sweetest first looks – and their portraits were just them lighting up together or laughing with their wonderful bridal party. It was just the best!! Oh and to top of all of this greatness, there was a change into a white dinner jacket, which basically is one of my top 3 favorite surprises at any wedding. Oh Joanna…. you stunner. 
Time for the first look!  Just killing that groom thing.

Swooooon. Yoooou guys – ya kill me.  These guys – soooo.much.fun.  Obsessed.   Time to get married!!  MAAAAAARRIED! A few words from the newlyweds….

Our first dance was our favorite memory of the night. We laughed the entire time and totally winged it!
The best decision we made when planning our wedding was picking Laurie to be our photographer! We loved her and so did all our guests. She is super fun, flexible, understanding, and we love that she always has the best ideas for pictures. We love her work!
(Insert laurie blushing face here… I’ve got the best couples ever : )

James + Joanna – oh my goodness did we have an absolute BLAST with you two – and your delightfully fun loved ones!! WHAT A DAY! And what a dance floor : ) We just loved capturing all of these beautiful details + memories with you guys, it was one for the books!

  1. As the parents of the handsome groom we were so proud of him and his beautiful bride on their wedding day! Joanna did an absolutely wonderful job planning their wedding. Somehow I made it through that day only tearing up from time to time and now I am sitting here crying happy tears after seeing these pictures. Thank you Laurie for capturing their wedding so beautifully with these pictures we can cherish forever!
