Hoy Destination Getaway

Back in the first week of August, I was able to do my first destination wedding that took place in Miami. When I arrived, it was at the Palms Hotel and Spa in Miami Beach. The location was very beautiful setting where it was held. Upon arrival at the hotel I met up with bride and groom (Brandon and Sha'Dawn) and just wondered around Miami. During the time there was a lot of construction, but we did not let deter us from enjoying the scenery. 

Tuesday was the ceremony that had a beautiful wedding on the beach with a beautiful backdrop with the ocean behind us. Just like most weddings it was a rocky start with the whole preparation from both bride and groom. Before the time of the wedding, rain was in the forecast, and both Brandon and Sha'Dawn was worried their ceremony would be rained out. We was lucky that the weather held out.  Being on the beach it was hotter than what we expected. As the ceremony start we were missing the brides parents, so that put a little snagged, but they were found and everything was smooth sailing.

In the end, I really enjoyed my first destination wedding and was very happy that I was chosen to capture this moment for this beautiful couple. I can't wait for my next one.

Whenever you're on the island of Oahu, take a hike up Diamond Head to catch a beautiful sunrise. Be warned, you want to get there as early as possible because your buses drop off hundreds of people throughout the day. You will be fighting for positio

When visiting Downtown Los Angeles kill some time and visit the Grammy museum. It's a great way to indulge in the music of the past and present.

Delicious ramen from Orochon Ramen in Little Tokyo. There is only one size so good luck finishing it.

“I see little of more importance to the future of our country and of civilization than full recognition of the place of the artist. If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him.”
