Hula O Na Keiki 2010 with Randy Jay Braun

Photographing anything with Hawaii's own Randy Jay Braun, is always an honor. Having the opportunity to assist him in capturing the winners of Hula O Na Keiki 2010 hosted by the Ka'anapali Beach Hotel a couple of weeks ago was no exception. Starting in the early hours before sunrise, Randy takes the Kane and Wahine winners to the beach and gets them warmed up for their session. The pride and confidence exhibited by the young winners is always evident in their eyes and the way they carry themselves. Randy instantly puts them at ease with a quick laugh and in talking story with their families and kumu hula. Once he established rapport with the dancers, the photo shoot gets underway. This is the second year I have had the opportunity to shoot with Randy and I always have a wonderful time. Here are a few of my shots as well as some behind the scenes shots of the exceptionally talented Randy Jay Braun at work. Congratulations to Kaui and Kaya on their honors! Until next year!

Rampin' up with Peter Frampton!

Who loves Peter Frampton??? Oh ooh ooh!! I do!!

I had the pleasure of photographing the Peter Frampton concert last night on Maui at the Maui Arts and Cultural Center. He played for nearly 3 hours and had everyone on their feet dancing and jamming along with him. He is still a master of the guitar and the stage. He was gracious enough to accept two kukui nut leis courtesy of the audience members as well as picking up an ukulele and playing a song just for us!

Thanks for making our day Mr. Frampton! You can still ROCK!

Come back soon!

Ka'anapali Maui Wedding Photographer - Aki & Glen

Aki and Glen decided to get married on Maui and bring their families and traditions together. With Japanese and Korean cultures joining hands, the party got started! The details were beautiful and the bride and groom were one of the calmest couples I have ever seen.
The colorful rose petals were scattered all along the aisle and made for a very colorful entrance.
Aki and Glen's rings were displayed in a gorgeous crown shaped pillow and tied with a satin knot.
Once the wedding ceremony and signing were complete, the couple headed to Baby Beach in Lahaina for a little time alone and some photos as the sun was setting and the moon was rising.
So cheers to Aki and Glen! Best wishes and hope to see you again on Maui for your second honeymoon!

Thank you for choosing Aubrey Hord Photography to capture your wedding day!

A hui hou,
