What a way to kick off the 2010 wedding season... jetting off to Kona tomorrow morning.

I'm especially excited about Rachel & Elie's wedding... obviously because it is in Hawaii... but ALSO because I met this  awesome couple last year on  Mackinac while photographing one of Rachel's best friends' wedding (Michelle & John).  I just love being a part of a circle of friends... I get to really know the friends and family in the group that much more.  So I was completely stoked when Rachel contacted me last fall about HER wedding. 

As always, I'll still be reachable... just not AS tied to the computer as usual...  this girl might pull herself away  from her laptop long enough to dip in the ocean and get a little tan... (but always use my sunscreen...  :-)

I wouldn't want to leave you with nothing to look at... so here are a few pics from my last time to Hawaii (when I photographed Candice & Micheal's beach side nuptials)...  is it sad it's been over a 1 1/2 years and I'm just now posting my fun "travel" pics from that trip!!

OH... and on a side night... speaking of fun travel pics... my little trip to Samy's today lead to me purchasing a new holga film camera... SOOO excited to play with that on this little adventure!

It's finally sunny and warm here in Santa Barbara... sun is setting later ....  summer is just around the corner!!

Sending you all a ray of sunshine... whether your basking on the beach right now or anxiously awaiting June... may you find a little "sun" somewhere in your day today and bask in it... even if its the simple smile of the loved one sitting next to you!!

Love,
A
