Kylie and AJ

All smiles

FROM THE LAND DOWN UNDER TO THE ISLAND IN THE MIDDLE
The Hawaii Wedding of AJ and Kylie

I'm betting a million dollars that you have figured out that love works in mysterious ways. I'd like to read a quote from the famous retard Tom Hanks. "Life is like box of chocolates, you never now what you're going to get." Well, love is also a lot like that chocolate box isn't it. You really never know whose going to steal your heart...and in my case, my heart and wallet (but that's for another topic)

Hey, you've seen this shot before!

So AJ and Kylie, my couple of the hour, met at the most romantic place in the world, the gym. AJ had it bad for Kylie, as she was a looker. Kylie on the other hand, like most women, was very cautious. But persistence paid off for AJ, as after a year, she warmed up to him and the rest was history. AJ got his chocolate.

I promise, Kylie and AJ insisted on a digi pic of them and my truck.

Since my couple didn't have a car to head to Ko'olina I offered them a ride in my ultra safe, TOYOTA. Till today, it has yet to kill me (knock on wood). They accepted my offer and I picked them up from their hotel and headed west! I don't pick up my couples regularly. For the most part, I tell my couples to rent a car and to navigate their own way down to the beach. Of course, I give all my brides very easy to follow directions to my wedding locations. The only difficult part of the trip is the area where you have to hit 88.8 mph with your dodge neon and generate 1.2 JIGGAWATTS to be transported back into 1985, while on the way to Ko'olina.

All joking aside, it was a pleasure to play limo driver to AJ and Kylie. We talked about everything under the sun, from finances, to rugby, to my Philadelphia Eagles. See, my Eagles have something in common with rugby. Our punter, Sav Rocca, is a very famous rugby player.

Their wedding...

A long time coming


Ditto.


I now pronounce you husband and wife and you may kiss your bride!

The wedding for AJ and Kylie went perfect as planned. Elias performed his usual awesome Hawaiian ceremony, and me, well I did my thing with the camera. Now that I think about it, photography is a lot like a box of chocolates. Every picture that I take outdoors is different from the last. And honestly, you really never know 100% what you're going to get. (Man, that retard Tom Hanks has some great lines doesn't he?)

I want you to take a look at the following pictures. One sign of a professional photographer or videographer, is their ability to recognize photographic opportunities when it hits them i the face. Any location can have literally hundreds of different photo opportunities. There are, of course, some better than others, and some that only happen when the lighting and ocean are in perfect harmony. But it's important to note, that a photographer can get a completely different look just by moving himself or herself 2 feet to the right. What the difference between a professional and amateur photographer? An amateur photographer will move himself to a different locations entirely to get a shot that he could have got by moving 2 feet.

Here's one shot. Now what happens if I move a little to the right?

I get this.

Hey how about an other kissing shot

Well, that about wraps up the wedding story of Kylie and AJ. From those kissing shots, I think you can tell that this couple will live happily ever after. I wish you my very very best.
