Maui on Film

Drag me!

There’s no where else on earth quite like Hawaii.  My family and I returned to Maui for the first time in years in 2014 and had so much fun that we made the trip back as a family this past spring.  Our adventures on this trip took us to popular snorkeling spots, to the top of Haleakala, on a road trip to Hana, to the most adorable dairy farm with goats running all over the place, and to some pretty epic eateries.  I only wish we were lucky enough to have Da Kitchen in Seattle!  

I always love the chance to shoot film on family vacations and nothing else.  It’s a blast to relive our trip after the film scans are back, and I don’t get sucked into being too trigger happy.  We are already planning our next trip back to Hawaii in a couple years, and are thinking of visiting Oahu or Kauai next time.  What do you think?  

Film scans by The FIND Lab.  Photographed on a Pentax 6×7 with a combination of Kodak Ektar, Fuji 400NPH, and Kodak 400UC films.  Panorama images photographed with a Hasselblad Xpan and Kodak Portra 400 film.

 

Thanks to the amazing crew at The FIND Lab for beautiful scans and bringing those gorgeous Hawaii colors to life! 

ready to tell your story?

Hi, I’m alex! A seattle wedding photographer who’s been documenting your stories since 2009.

I fell in love with photography almost 20 years ago in a darkroom class, and that love has never faded. What started as a darkroom class in college turned into photographing my first wedding solo in 2010,and I was hooked. The joy. The emotion. The vows. The details. The people.

I realized quickly that my fulfillment came from helping people see themselves in a beautiful, honest way. I move calmly. I guide confidently. I know how to capture all the angles and candid moments without you even noticing. My couples often say I have “photo superpowers” because of how much I capture while still keeping everything feeling easy and low-pressure.


Some photographers find wedding days chaotic.

I find them electric.
