The one and only Tony Hoffer and his gorgeous wife, Amy, celebrated their five-year wedding anniversary in Chicago last week. I brought along with me some California sunshine to Chicago to photograph Tony and Amy. I must say that I was pretty excited to be headed to Chicago for the first time ever and photographing two really awesome wedding photographers. Tony and Amy are renown in the wedding photography community. They need no introduction, but if you don’t know who they are you can check out the Hoffer’s work on their website, you won’t be disappointed. When I first got off the plane in Chicago and boarded the train to get to my hotel, I knew I was in for a treat as I passed by all the great architectural wonders of the city. I swear I could shoot in Chicago for days. I had only a few hours to photograph Tony and Amy around the city, so I tried my best to make the best of my time there. I was actually stopped and asked by a curious tourist if I was photographing famous people. If you can imagine, a tall giant, a pretty lady and a short (but very handsome) Asian guy walking around town, I’m sure you’d think something big was up too. Thank you Amy and Tony for having me. Congratulations on your five years of marriage and I wish you many more! Please remind me to bring a ladder the next time I photograph you guys. I hope  you guys like the photos.

I’m Engaged! | My Proposal in Oahu, Hawaii

E-mail Ari to Document Your Wedding

Aloha friends and family! I’m so very happy to announce that my Hawaii trip has lead to an engagement with my girlfriend. We started the day going around different places in Hawaii to take lots of pictures on self-timer.

One of the highlights from our trip was our moped ride to Hanauma Bay to go snorkeling in the rain!

Hawaii Wedding Photographers

After taking pictures at a couple locations, we ended up at Kailua Beach where I felt it was the right time. I set up the camera on self timer and composed the shot as if I was going to take a picture. When I went down to Kat, she continued to pose for a picture, as she’s doing the entire day. She had no idea until I got down on one knee and pulled out the ring.

Here’s a short video clip of my proposal. It’s totally out of focus, but it still makes me smile every time I watch it.

Mahalo!

Gina+Peter | Dolphin Bay Resort, Pismo Beach, Ca | Engagement Session

E-mail Ari to Document Your Wedding

Here’s an engagement session at the Dolphin Bay Resort in Pismo Beach with Gina and Peter. It was raining during their engagement session, so we decided to shoot around Dolphin Bay. Gina and Peter will be getting married here at the Dolphin Bay Resort later this year, so these photos are just a prelude to some awesome wedding photography. It’s going to be super-fantastic.
