dan + christine | hawaii wedding photographer

You guys, I am so excited to share this one with ya’ll today. Dan + Christine were married on a warm winter day, surrounded by so much love + laughter. I mean nonstop smiles out of these two : ) It was so sweet to see the excitement and nerves leading up to the first look, followed by this combination of calmness, comfort and laughs. Sometimes people just fit, and these two do just that. I loved getting to capture this wedding day as I have known Christine since we were 3 years old. We grew up with 2 houses between us spending summers hopped up microwave popcorn + popsicles between pool parties and ghost + the graveyard marathons. So being there with her and her family as she got ready for her wedding day was truly the best.  Getting to see just how happy Dan makes her, like Christine just lights up when he comes into her eye line and Dan does the same, it is so evident how much he adores her. And you guys, I was the one who got to be there photographing all of that amazingness!! So enough out of me, onto the day!   That first look that Dad gets of his girl : ) 
I mean all of the heart eye emojis, look at this babe.  First look time : )  LOVE.  Thanks for rocking all that winter weather guys : )   Time to get married!!  Tears. 
See, nonstop laughing out of these two : )    Hoooooray – MARRIED!!!!!!  The best!

And then they drove off into the loveliest sunset.    First Dance :: The Best is Yet to Come, Frank Sinatra   Dan + Christine – you guuuuuys, oh my goodness.
