Yes, we're alive.

Aloha All!
We felt the need to pop in on this blog and fill you in. We are very much still alive (contrary to blogger belief!), and have been incredibly busy (no complaints!).

We're working on launching our new blog and website, however in the meantime please check out our Facebook page to keep up with us and see some of our latest work! Just click here to head on over!

A MASSIVE mahalo to all of our fabulous clients, past, present, and future - we have some gorgeous things in the works and can't wait to share.

Please don't hesitate to contact us if you need anything or have any questions!

Much Mahalo,

Happy Sunday.

Aloha and Happy Sunday!

Felt like I needed to take a sec and let everyone know that yes, indeed, we are alive.

Things have been crazy and exciting around Bonnie-and-John-Land, and somehow time has slipped by without blogging!

Keep your eye balls peeled, because we will be launching a new blog soon, but in the meantime I will be sure to keep everyone posted on all the greatness happening here! We've had so many fabulous couples and equally fabulous weddings to share, and I can't wait to start sharing!

So - I'll leave things at that, and hope to see you grace our blog with your presence very soon...

Goodnight All,

Monday on Maui :: Oh, the reasons..

Ok, so John and I have never been huge on Valentine's Day.

We're not exactly bah humbug, don't get me wrong.. but for as long as we've owned our photography company, we've spent the day shooting fabulous couples getting married.

But this year somehow seems more romantic to me..

No, we didn't go for a dinner out, or exchange sparkly gifts - we spent the entire day yesterday prepping and painting.

That's right - we scraped and scrubbed and taped and painted. For almost 10 hours. Why?

Because I fell in love with a fabulous vintage credenza that I had to have - and we also had to finish it before we finish our move.

I'll face it, as I glanced over at my husband, hair deep in paint, I couldn't help but think - it doesn't get more romantic than this.

Odd romance? Yes. But never the less, it's one of the many reasons why he'll always be my valentine.

Happy Valentine's Day All,

PS - Check back tomorrow for some lovely details from today's wedding..

Maui Proposal Photography :: John + Jennifer

Last weekend we did one of my favorite things to do, we got our paparazzi on.

You heard me. No, not the skeezy chase-down-celebrity kind, the hide and take photos while a nervous boyfriend is proposing kind. 

As I like to call them, Pop the Question Sessions, or better known as Proposal Photography.

John approached us shortly before a trip to Maui with his girlfriend Jennifer – he really wanted a photo/video package to capture his proposal (can someone say bonus points!?!). I was grinning ear to ear immediately. John (client John - not my John! Yes, confusing) had his heart set on a location that he could lead her out to lava rocks with crashing waves.
We knew this called for Ironwoods since it’s one of the best places to walk out on the jetting lava rocks and get some wave action.

Fast forward to last Sunday, there John (my John) and I are – perched atop the cliffside, gear in hands, as we finally catch glimpse of the couple way down the beach. They leisurely strolled along the beach, stopped to laugh and take photos, and made their way to the lava jetty. John was pretty sure Jennifer wouldn’t think anything of us being nearby, so we 86’d our usual model couple gameplan, and set ourselves up to appear to be casually shooting nature shots. Fast forward way too many photos of the distant horizon (because I couldn't just point the lens in that direction to sell our cover, I had to take the photo too), John got down on one knee, with the backdrop of waves crashing... and she of course said yes! Not to mention she was completely shocked (my favorite!). She had no idea we were shooting them either, and was so excited when he finally waved us over.

Did I mention how cool our job is?

Congratulations to the both of you, thank you so much for trusting us to share and capture such a once in a lifetime moment!

And of course, the photos..

Can you spy the crab? He was kind enough to let me know before scammering away.. oh, Maui. 

G'nite All,
