When I first picked up a camera years ago, well, over a decade ago, I used to come to this spot in Waikiki to practice. I have so many rolls of these boards on black and white film, some overexposed, some underexposed. I developed them myself in the darkroom, and I have some of the best memories of practicing shooting in this spot. You could say it's my happy place. :D #waikiki #honolulu #hawaiiphotographer #travel #islandlife #hawaiiweddingphotographer #hawaiiweddingphotography #honoluluwedding #honoluluweddingphotography #erikaparker #erikaparkerphotography #waikikisurf @richardphotolab
Aloha Aina, Aloha Kai It means love of the land, love of the sea. Love of the land is at the heart of Hawaiian customs, tradition, language, art, even politics. The Hawaiian people held the islands with such respect. They revered every part of it, the mountains, the streams, the trees, the plants, the flowers, the birds. I'm so grateful for the years I lived in Hawaii. It taught me so much about loving life, and living in the present. Every day I would wake up to these mountains, and every day I felt so blessed to be in their presence. Hawaii has definitely been a big part of making me the person I am today. Everyone has a place or a person that has helped shape them into who the person they are today. I'd love to hear about some of yours : ) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . @richardphotolab #hawaii #koolaumountains #koolau #livelife #lovelife #hawaiilife #oahu #oahuweddingphotography #oahuweddingphotographer #hawaiiwedding #hawaiiphotography #hawaiiweddingphotography #kaneohe #islandlife #destinationweddingphotography #islandwedding #contax645 #shootfilm

I am yours and you are mine. I was so lucky to shoot the engagement session of these two lovebirds getting married in New Orleans in 2018! They had such amazing energy together, and I know that they have only just begun to do amazing things. @nearlynolaweds @eryka_imani #frenchquarterengagement #engagedinnola #frenchquarter #frenchquarternola @richardphotolab #neworleansengagementphotography #engaged #neworleansweddingphotography #shootfilm #neworleansweddingphotographer #contax645 #destinationweddingphotographer #erikaparker #erikparkerphotography
