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!

A hui hou,

Ka'anapali Maui Wedding Photographer - Melanie & Francois say "Oui" do!

Melanie and Francois brought family from all over the world to their destination wedding on Maui. They had a gorgeous wedding in a private wedding lawn right on the ocean at the Kaanapali Beach Hotel.
The details were colorful and fun, just like the bride and groom. From the extensive flowers for the bridal party, parents and guests to the table decor to the cake, the couple had an eye for the colorful.
Paster Laki Ka'ahumanu presided over the ceremony and was entertaining as always, making the bride and groom comfortable and laughing all the way through the ceremony.
My thanks to the team that helped shoot the wedding with me- Nicole Angel, Zach Pezzillo and Frank DiMarco. Always a pleasure to work you all!
Congratulations and best wishes go out to Melanie and Francois- have a wonderful life together filled with creativity and fun!

Thanks for choosing Aubrey Hord Photography to be a part of your Maui wedding!

A hui hou,

Ka'anapali Maui Wedding Photographer - Mary & Tory

On 10-10-10 I had a great opportunity to capture a really fun wedding of a friend from the mainland who decided she wanted to get married on one of the busiest wedding days of the year.
It was a total joy to photograph Mary and Tory as they took the plunge on their journey together.Mary and Tory are simply fun!!
They love to laugh and enjoy life on multiple levels, which is not surprising since Mary works for Six Flags.
The two of them combined their beautiful children into one happy family and had a great party for their Maui wedding.
Mary is also a big fan of B&W imagery so I shot a bunch of images with B&W in mind. The details were the best!
The details were really fun to capture. Mary is a part time floral designer on the side and she was able to ship in beautiful orchids and floral arrangements for the wedding from her suppliers on the mainland.
Thanks to second shooter Frank DiMarco, intern, Zach Pezzillo, and our wonderful lighting tech, Nicole Angel, for keeping up with the fast paced couple and Mary and Tory's delightful group of family and friends who made the trip to Maui to celebrate.

Thanks for having us along for the ride!
Best wishes,
Aubrey, Frank, Zach and Nicole

Ka'anapali Maui Wedding Photographer - Sabrina & John say "I Do" on Maui vs Jamaica

Sabrina and John had planned their perfect wedding for months in Jamaica. When civil unrest hit the area a couple of months ago, that changed the game completely and destroyed their perfect wedding dreams. With the political instability and no knowledge of where their paperwork or deposit had gone for their wedding, the couple had to find a new tropical venue to get married. They chose the ocean side wedding site on Maui called the Naupaka Lawn at the Ka'anapali Beach Hotel and kept their fingers crossed that nothing would go wrong. It ended up being a perfect evening with light and weather. I lucked out and got an amazing couple!
We spent nearly two hours talking in the wedding consultation meeting and my cheeks hurt from laughing so hard. They had a wonderful minister for their ceremony who laughed along with the couple during their service and had a truly infectious smile. Finally, they ended their romantic evening with a private dinner on the Naupaka Lawn watching the sun set into the Pacific Ocean.
I am honored they chose me to capture their perfect destination wedding in the Hawaiian islands! So congratulations and best wishes to Sabrina and John who were great clients - fun and flexible with their plans and will keep each other laughing for the rest of their lives.
A hui hou,
Aubrey

Ka'anapali Maui Wedding Photographer - Betsy & Phil get Married on Maui!

Congratulations go out to Betsy and Phil who tied the knot at the ocean side private wedding grounds at Kaanapali Beach Hotel last week! Our beautiful bride, Betsy, wore a gorgeous Lady Gaga-inspired dress and hairpiece and a HUGE smile.
Our dapper groom, Phil, wore a perfectly tailored white suit with a black dress shirt.
The couple was married under the swaying coconut trees along the ocean at the Naupaka Lawn at the Kaanapali Beach Hotel with scenic Black Rock in the background.
Betsy and Phil decided to tie the knot in the afternoon so they could hop on a sunset dinner cruise afterwards out of Lahaina Harbor. The couple celebrated their nuptials with glasses of champagne and a lot of laughter and love at the private ocean side wedding grounds at the Kaanapali Beach Hotel. Reverend Laki conducted the ceremony with the blowing of the conch shell to announce the beginning and end of the ceremony, a traditional Hawaiian prayer and playing a first dance song on his ukulele for the couple. Best wishes to Phil and Betsy on a wonderful life together filled with lots of love and laughter! It was a pleasure meeting you both!
A hui hou,
Aubrey
