Erin and Shawn live in one of the most beautiful places on Earth – the remote town of Hana on the island of Maui – but they decided to return to the mainland for their August wedding.
Erin and Shawn met in Tahoe and seem to love it almost as much as their beloved Hawaii. Their wedding was a fun, eclectic mix of their longtime California friends and their very tight-knit group from Hana, which includes a beautiful brood of children, all blond and all so close it feels like they are brothers and sisters. One of those kids is Ozzie, Erin and Shawn’s five-year-old son and ring bearer, who brought the rings to them on a skateboard and stood right beside his dad for the entire ceremony.
We were lucky to have our talented friend Kathryn Krueger shooting with us. She was visiting from Texas, and we roped her into joining us. Glad she did – she got some of our favorite photos from the day. All of hers are credited with the words “Photo by,” with no name afterward (blog glitch).
Erin and Shawn, thank you for bringing us into your world and trusting us with your wedding. We hope to see you in Tahoe again someday, or, if we’re lucky, in Hawaii! And thank you to Merrily Wed for once again planning a beautiful day on the lake.

every time I look at your photos, you two, the consistent and powerful feeling that they give me is that life is beautiful. The work that we do is always a self portrait, and I know that this is an accurate portrayal of your hearts. love.
