Tim and Kelly's Hawaii Wedding!

Tim prepares himself for marriage

FROM FACEBOOK TO THE BEACH
Thank you Mark Zuckerberg?

So who in world is Mark Zuckerberg? He's the creator of facebook, wealthy (worth $4 billion), and only 25 years old. (I didn't know who he was until I did some research for this article) Man, don't you want to add this guy as a friend...haha. Mr. Zuckerberg created facebook in his dorm room with his classmates. What I don't get is how Mr. Zuckerberg is worth 4 billion dollars when facebook only grosses 300 million per year. Things that make you go hmmm....

Anyway, if it wasn't for Zuckerberg and his nerdy friends, Tim and Kelly would have probably never met. Talk about the butterly effect.

Their wedding

During their vows.

Tim, a natural comedian, was extremely serious when it came to their ceremony

Tim and Kelly first met each other as children then lost touch over time like most childhood friends. Decades passed, and they reconnected through facebook, and the rest was history. As soon as I met Tim and Kelly, I knew that they were the perfect match for each other. Their personalities, sense of humor, went together perfectly like chocolate and peanut butter. Why did I say that for? Now I'm craving some Resees.

Their wedding went pefectly as planned. The best part of the day happnened when Tim and Kelly updated their relationship status to married on their facebook page via their mobile phone. Ah....facebook. It makes everyone a walking reality TV show. Gotta love it.

Updating their facebook page to "Married!" - we're all nerds now.

The garter belt tease shot, all Tim's idea..great idea.

Sunset shots, always great.

Do you see the rock builder in the background? What the...

Ko'olina beach wasn't empty as it usually was. There were maybe 15 other people there, scattered throughout the cove. That's still not a lot of people. One guy, got on my nerves. He was some crazy tourists dude who had an obsession with stacking rocks. You can see it some of their wedding pictures if you look closely. He starts stacking rocks one by one from the beginning of the photo shoot, and by the end of it, he basically got it about 6 feet high. I guess he was some type of professional Jenga "athlete." Personally, I have no idea what's so great about rock stacking. Every time a tourist does it, I usually take it down the next day. Other than crazy Jenga rock stacking man, everything went great :) Honestly, he wasn't any problem at all, I think he's just a dummy.

I put Tim and Kelly in front of crazy rock stacking guy...and the beach looked perfect...haha

I really enjoyed having Tim and Kelly as my clients. They were both a lot of fun, cooperative, and easy to work with. Not to mention, they were both photogenic and easy to photograph. Some people just naturally settle into poses, so I don't have to do much. And some look like Chandler on friends... Hey, I'm just saying....

All of these shots by the way, all shot on my G10. This is the "Patriot Package" at work. I still find it rather funny when I use my G10. It's basically a high performance snapshot camera that I shoot in manual mode. Here I am, snapping away next to some other amateurs or professional cameramen that show up on the beach to shoot sunsets with huge cameras. Their look on their faces when I pull this camera from my pants pocket to shoot a wedding is priceless. But it's like what I tell all my couples, it's not the size of the camera that counts, it's how you use it....

Tim, Kelly, I wish you my best.
