The Kitchen Tribe

One of my very first photo gigs, and the very first wedding I ever shot was shooting Mike and Mariana’s wedding back in 2007.  It was their “skype wedding” where friends and family skyped in from Brazil to Hawai’i and back again, in a time before smartphones were a thing, so people were dragging their laptops around and making introductions to wedding guests and family via the computer…I remembering laughing to myself then thinking how bizarre, it was to have people running around “skyping” into a wedding.  Now I laugh to myself because, now we go live with our smartphones and skyping is outdated.  My my, how times have changed.

One thing that has not changed though is how stellar this familia is, and how special it’s been to document them over the years. Eleven years later and Mike and Mari still got it going on x3, and they are looking just as amazing as they did back in dem good ‘ole skyping, myspace pre-kids days. Mahalo Kitchen’s for always making our sessions together so memorable and fun! I just love who your kids are growing up to be!
