Jaci and Reid Wedding

This is Izumo Taishakyo Mission of Hawaii. It's located in town on Kukui Street and is where Jaci and Reid got married this past Wednesday, 3/3/2010. They will also be having a traditional ceremony tomorrow at the Hilton Hawaiian Village. Marvin is a good friend of Jaci's and is helping her coordinate the wedding celebration. That's how I got the "ins". I feel so grateful that Jaci agreed to let me be a part of her and Reid's special day(s).

Some of you might know that Geralyn Camarillo is my idol. She and her good friend Arna Johnson are the official photographers!! Jaci got two of the best photographers around. Aaaaand guess what . . . I asked Geralyn if she needed help with her gear tomorrow (cause they weigh a ton and Geralyn is like 90 pounds) and she said yes!!! Hoooo hooooo, so I get to help them . . . not in the picture-taking department cause God knows they don't need help there, especially from me, but I get to hang around them!! HOWZDAT! I'm excited!

Very nice shoots! That is a really nice church, I never knew it existed. You skin tones really came out great in the bright light. Nice shooting!

Awesome pictures!! Was this ceremony different from another one you did recently? I don't remember the bride having a head covering in that other one. That is so great you will be able to tag along with the photographer.

Thanks Kat. I will!

Thanks Erick. It was my first time at the temple too. It's massive looking from the outside, but very small inside. I had to shoot everything from outside, especially since I was like the fourth shooter (almost crasher).

This Shinto ceremony was very different from the other Japanese wedding that I did. Ikuku was dressed in a kimono but not the bridal clothing like Jaci was wearing. I'm so stoked about hanging with Geralyn!

have fun tomorrow and pass along any photography tips that you might have picked up while helping!

Rand, one thing I learned is that Geralyn and Arna are even more amazing than I thought. They are so organized, very professional and just plain "on it". They are also very caring people and it was such a pleasure being able to hang out with them.
