Tropical Wedding | Dillingham Ranch North Shore Hawaii | Wedding Film
It's so amazing to see a creative vision come to life. So when my photographer friend Vanessa of Vanessa Hicks Photography told me she had a vision for a tropical styled wedding shoot and she shared the concept and Pinterest vision board with me and I was all in and just had to do a behind the scenes film to capture all the awesomeness.
Like, duh. Look at this board!!
The colors...the romance. Yep. You had me at tropical.
The following are screengrabs from video footage, go here to view Vanessa Hick's blog post
The historic Dillingham Ranch in Mokuleia on the North Shore of Oahu is a breathtaking venue for a wedding, or any event for that matter.
Every detail by Vida Chic, Anna Claire Calligraphy and florals by Creative Concepts by Jeff were just perfection and brought Vanessa's vision to life. Right down to the horses standing in cue for the last frame of the evening as the sun was setting.

Slow Motion North Shore Adventure with Allison | Haleiwa, Oahu Videographer
It wasn't hard to convince her to get in front of my camera. Look at her, she's gorgeous.
Meet my dear friend Allison of Allison Gipson Photography. Not only is she an uber talented lifestyle photographer here in Hawaii, but she is my coffee buddy and is always up for an adventure. So when I called her on a whim and said "hop in the car we are going to the north shore to practice slow motion", she said heck yeah. Duh.
Ok, so my slow mo needs a little work, but we had such a blast cruising around Haleiwa capturing fun little moments.
We stopped at these local favorites along the way, Waialua Sugar Mill for shave ice and coffee, Wow Wow Lemonade for the most delicious ginger sparkling lemonade, North Shore Surf Shop , for some cute island vibe t's and Alii Beach Park to find some turtles, and of course the Dole Plantation for pineapple ice cream.
Check out her awesome lifestyle photography at Allison Gipson Photography

Island Adventure - Location Scouting with Gloria | North Shore Oahu Hawaii Photographer
Out location scouting for an upcoming video project with my girl, and fellow photographer Gloria of Gloria Posada Photography and we found ourselves at Kualoa Ranch Beach Park, Kahana Bay and Dole Plantation
Nature never ceases to amaze me. I've always been fascinated with trees and flowers and being outdoors. I fell in love with the texture of this weathered tree and this driftwood just spoke to me and begged me to turn it into a black and white photo. Hawaii has no shortage of awesome stuff to photograph so go out and find some cool stuff!
Always loved finding little rocks and shells as a kid. This little guy just spoke to me and I had to photograph him, he is so cute and small in contrast to the Ko'olau Mountains in the background.
Gloria squealed with delight as she found a childhood favorite plant, the Mimosa Pudica which closes or sleeps when touched.
Found this little beauty while grabbing a pineapple dole ice cream.
Yeah for girlfriends on a Friday that are as obsessed with their camera as me. Thanks Gloria for coming along on the mini island adventure. Always more fun to explore with a friend! The giggles were a bonus and much needed therapy after a long week.
Day in the Life of Noelle - Family Lifestyle Photoshoot
Yours truly in front of the camera for once. My uber talented friend Brenda Van filmed my "day in the life" of a family lifestyle photographer.
We had the best time together as she followed me doing my thing....of course there was coffee involved (we stopped at Coffee Gallery) and my favorite beach on north shore, Ali'i Beach and course a beautiful family to photograph, my dear friends The Dwyers.
So, if you ever wondered what my day looks like or what a session with me feels like...now you know!
