I have had the opportunity to photograph Jeanne several times. Today is her birthday!!!! So I grabbed a few to tell her how much we miss her and wish her well on her new adventures at University of Hawaii. Jeanne Kapela is a beautiful dancer from Hawaii Island. Some of her attire features fashions by designer Heidi Hart. | Photography: Ranae Keane EMotion Galleries Dancer: Jeanne Kapela Fashion Designer: Heidi Lee Hart Location: Kona Hawaii USA |

Jodie and John were sweethearts in high school, went separate ways, reunited years later only to find they were still very much in love with each other. Their Hawaii Island Weddings by Kauka ceremony in Kailua-Kona was lovely. Mid-ceremony John was so overcome with the emotions that his knees literally went weak. The small gathering of friends and family all joined John for a seat in the sand as Dean continued with the vows and exchange of rings. Immediately after saying "I Do" the couple impulsively jumped up from the sand and ran to the ocean. Jodie and John's weddings was very beautiful and meaningful evening that I will always remember.
Sara and Julie were a blast to hang out with at Kikaua Point. They were recently engaged and came to the Big Island to plan their 2014 wedding in paradise! Both of these ladies are young professionals in the medical field and are very deserving of some rest & relaxation on the beach. We had fun and enjoyed a spectacular sunset!
PJ is from California and returning this week from a trip to his Hawaii to start his senior year in high school. Next year he will attend college and major in the sciences. He was drawn to the telescopes on the summit of Mauna Kea, so that is where we ventured for his senior photo session! When at the safety stop to adjust avoiding altitude sickness we went for a short hike. PJ was the first to notice a geocache hidden in the rocks on a remote cliff. One of my favorite photos is of him reading through the notes left by visitors from around the globe..... I snapped the picture candidly and when going through the footage thought I was looking at Harry Potter. My other favorite picture is capturing his reaction when the telescopes opened and started to move. It really sounded like theatrical effects from a Star Wars movie. He forgot about posing for the picture, gazed up and said "excuse me I need to geek out for a moment!"
This wedding party from Denver loves to have fun and can not party without our very own Kona Brew!!!! Congratulations Cher & Matthew! You and your entire crew were fun to photograph.
Bump City Hawaii will be the main-stage act at the 4th of July concert at the Waikoloa Bowl tomorrow starting at 6:30PM. Bump City will play a full concert and will be the musical accompaniment to the fireworks display at 8:00PM. Come to the Queens Shops earlier in the day to see even more of Duncan Bamsey. He has been hired for 3 gigs that day! Salsa Latinos at 12:30 QS, Generous Thieves at 5:00 QS and of course Bump City at 6:30 the amphitheater. I will be dancing hula at the same time...similar location at Lava Lava Beach Club from 6-8.... I'll be able to hear Bump City across the lava field :) Although Bump City will be performing live with the fireworks, they also had to record the 12minute funk/patriotic arrangement as a track that 7 different radio stations will be playing for those watching the firework display throughout West Hawaii. These are photos I took of the recording session with Michael Suprenant (Bump City drummer) and Duncan in Michael's recording studio in their family barn.
