Sokchea + Luke | Oahu Hawaii Wedding Photographer

I had the wonderful opportunity to second shoot a wedding set in the Kapaa mountain region of Kauai right after we got to the island with Kevin, from Kevin Foley Photography.  We had a great day filled with laughter, love, rain and shine.  Sokchea and Luke are the most adorable couple and their families were most welcoming!  Congratulations to both of you!

 

Their vows were most amazing!  Totally crying behind the camera.  I love that they say their vows privately to each other, it makes the moment so sweet!

Another moment of tears for me was when Luke’s grandfather got up in the ceremony to talk.  So touching, as you can tell.
Congratulations again and thank you Kevin for inviting me along!

Class of 2012 | Oahu Hawaii Senior Portrait Photography

How cute is she?  Megan came all the way from Colorado, just to have her portraits done…well, not just for portraits, but it sounds good, right?  She wanted to have some Hawaii Senior Portraits and then some Colorado Senior Portraits.  Talk about exact opposites in scenery.  I was so excited for my first “Class of 2012″ member in Hawaii!  What a total blast!

Wow very beautiful young lady! Excellent captures!

Fall Mini-Sessions Are Here! | Oahu Hawaii Family Photographer

I am so excited to announce my annual Fall Mini-Session event on Oahu. This will be the ONLY mini session event I will hold all year round. Everyone needs to have at least one family picture done a year! Right?  While these are smaller, more compact versions of my normal “full sessions”, I will not be skimping on the Wendy Z Photography style and experience. I have created a package specifically for a shorter photography session.  My Fall Mini-Sessions are just for you if:

1. You are looking to get those holiday photos for your cards and personal gifts.
2. You are trying custom photography for the first time.

 

 

Mini-Session Details/FAQ:

Mini-sessions last 30 minutes and are ideal for smaller families or “just the kids”. They are perfect for getting the latest family picture for your holiday cards! I can actually take quite a few shots in that time frame and try to get as many posed and natural looking shots as possible.

Mini-sessions are limited to families of 6 or smaller. If you have a larger family, I recommend you book a full session so I can accomplish all the different shots typically needed for larger families.

Sessions are booked on a first come, first serve basis. All bookings do require the full amount ($300) to hold your spot. You can pay via check, PAYPAL, or credit card within 5 days of signing your online portrait questionnaire and agreement/model release. When you reserve your date, I will send you the link to my online contract/model release along with more session details and tips for what to wear for your session.

Your high-resolution digital files will be delivered via a File Download after you choose them from your online gallery.   As an added BONUS…The session also includes a 20% discount on additional prints, digital images, products or custom holiday cards when purchased within 2 weeks of being presented your final images.

*If you are a high school senior, please book a Senior Session with me instead, as I need more time with you, you get a few location and clothing changes… and you get Special “Senior” Stuff!

If you have any other questions or would like to inquire aboutavailability,  please contact me.

Julia and Robert in Waikiki | Oahu Hawaii Couples Photography

I absolutely love this couple.  I have photographed them 3 times, all in great locations:  Northern California, San Francisco and now in sunny Waikiki.  They are so in love  that it oozes from their souls.  I can just tell by the way they look at each other and laugh together.

Customers that keep coming back really makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside:)  Thank you so much for returning to Wendy Z. Photography!  I appreciate it more than you know.

My First Family Session in Hawaii | Oahu Hawaii Family Photographer

Of course it is very fitting that my first family photo session in Hawaii is our dear friends, The Thomas Family.  Scott and I lived next door to them 11 years ago at my first “home” in the Air Force-Spokane, Washington.  We have tried hard to keep in touch over the years, but when it comes down to it, it didn’t matter…because it feels as though we have lived next to each other for the past 11 years without missing a beat.  That is true friendship and I wouldn’t trade that for anything in the world.

Now there has been some changes in the past eleven year…  Between our two families,  we added 4 kiddos, changed out 2 cars and moved 9+ times.  But one thing has always remained the same.  The Thomas Family ROCKS and we are so glad to be with them in beautiful Hawaii for the next 2 years.
