Grant + Emily

A Timeless Airlie Wedding

filed in:

It’s really hard to explain just how much we love these two. They have every characteristic of the perfect KJ Couple and then some! They are relaxed, trusting, energetic, funny and very much in love. My favorite part of the day was when Emily pulled out her journal from her early teenage years and read her “wish list” for a boy out-loud to all of their guests during the ceremony. It was so cute and parts were laughable, but ultimately, Grant fulfilled every dream that she had for her future husband…. even as a young girl.Their story and their love is so genuine and their wedding ceremony was one that made me teary.

I think the other part of their day that just melted my heart was seeing Emily and her sister’s relationship with their parents… especially their dad. Having three daughters and being an Admiral is such a sweet mix. Mr. Cole is a tall, distinguished man who has such a soft spot in his heart for his three girls. The moment he saw Emily he couldn’t stop the tears. She was beautiful and I loved watching their interactions throughout the day. Maybe I’m just sensitive to that because we’re having a little girl and it means a little more to me now!

Grant and Emily had the most amazing group of friends and family surround them on their day. Not only was there energy and excitement throughout the whole day, there was also AMAZING weather and gorgeous light!! I can’t wait for you to see these images! Enjoy my favorites, and Grant and Emily…. you guys are just the best!! We love you both and we couldn’t be happier for you!! I hope Oahu and Maui are everything you hoped they would be!

Holding Vision in the Chaos Where I Am Series

I feel like I just wrote last week’s update, but somehow, another Friday is here. Time flies when life is full… and right now? Life is really full.

Every Friday, I’m sharing “Where I Am”—personally, spiritually, and professionally—because I believe in sharing the journey while I’m in it, not just when I have all the answers tied up in a neat little bow.

Canon RF 85mm f/2.0 vs. L Series Lenses Can a $500 lens really compare to two $3,500 lenses combined?

When it comes to wedding photography, the right lens can make all the difference. But let’s be honest—gear can get expensive. So when Canon introduced the RF 85mm f/2.0—a lens with portrait, macro, and image stabilization capabilities for just $500—I knew I had to put it to the test.

Have you ever tried to sit down with your spouse to talk about dreams, goals, and vision—only for it to turn into frustration or misalignment? If so, you’re not alone. Vision casting in marriage is hard because it brings up deeper fears, beliefs, and unspoken dynamics that many couples don’t even realize are at play.
