after nailing a perfect triple lutz, alex dried off and slipped into something a little more comfortable… a Tommy Bahama on-som.

meanwhile, danielle was getting ready to slip into this beautiful dress.

Aqua Action Dive Center was on the to-do list, not the i-do list, so danielle would have to wait just a little longer to slip into her scuba gear.

danielle and alex were getting a little hot after all that, so they decided to take a run through the crystal clear water.

with danielle being a big fan of deep sea fishing and alex being the biggest fan of U2 our choices for ring shots were pretty easy.

after the ceremony everyone hopped in the water and went snorkeling just off of secret harbour resort. kim got this shot of danielle looking all bond girl meets lara croft. not seen in this photo is the crocodile dundee shark knife she had strapped to her leg. knife or no knife, kim was not about to get into the water.

actually, he did get dealt with. the swift hand of justice may, or may not, have been assisted by a purple clad minion.

what’s better than having a destination wedding in st thomas?

St John wedding at Trunk Bay in the Virgin Islands by Ohana Photographers

spending the day after your wedding in st john. trunk bay on st john is absolutely amazing! the water is so clear you think you’re in a swimming pool. a warm swimming pool… with fishies.

as an added bonus when you snorkel around the little island in this picture there are underwater plaques that tell you what kind of coral or fish you are looking at. so cool! among the sea life spotted by our group were tons of small colorful fish, octopus, and barracuda.

to top off this incredible trip, danielle and alex spent their honeymoon caving and zip lining their way through puerto rico. when they finished all that they came back to california and returned to their day jobs as mild mannered action heroes.

Aloha My Darling Ohana Photography,
Happy Valentine’s Day
I live in the HILO AREA and was wondering how i can hire you to take some amazing photos of me.
Just for me, not a wedding, just for my self, of myself, just because I turned 47 last month, never been married and I am so private I don’t take selfies.
I would love to get a couple outfit changes and do something at the beach or somewhere really lovely around here in HILO. I would love to do a photo shoot within the next 2 months, much love and aloha
I live in the pana’ewa homestead and would be honored of you may be so kind to take some photos of me, as there is a lovely man I am head over heels for, yet he has no idea I exist. I am sure you have heard that one before.
All my best.
