Paradise Point Wedding Photography | Louise + Ken

Louise and Ken were married on a beautiful Summer day at Paradise Point Resort and every detail of this wedding was gorgeously planned by Leila of Brilliant Event Designs. I loved all the laughter and happiness that was obvious between the couple that day and could really see how much fun they have together! Here are a few of my favorite images….feel free to pin or leave a comment, we’d love to hear from you!

You can almost hear the quiet, can’t you?

The palms standing still. The birds in motion.
Two things that don’t usually go together—
but somehow, in this moment, they do.

Sometimes a photo is less about what you see
and more about what it makes you feel.

Not all heroes wear capes. Some wear baby carriers, push swings, bait hooks, fix broken bikes, and show up—over and over again.
⁠
To the dads who love loud, work hard, and hold it all together (even when no one’s watching)—this one’s for you.
⁠
You’re not just raising kids. You’re raising future humans who know what love, strength, and dedication really look like.
⁠
Happy Father’s Day. Keep being the rock, the guide, the goofball, and the heart behind the scenes.
⁠
📸 Here’s to the dads who step up, lean in, and make it all matter.

There’s something about that first time your baby wraps their fingers around yours.⁠

It’s instinct, sure—but it’s also connection.
A silent little promise: *I know you. I trust you. I’m safe here.*⁠
⁠
They won’t remember this moment, but you will.⁠
And years from now, you’ll look at this photo and remember exactly how it felt.⁠
⁠
That’s the power of something so small.⁠

They’ll never be this tiny again. Every newborn is a once-in-a-lifetime masterpiece—just days old, yet already entirely themselves. These early moments are fleeting, raw, and unrepeatable. Capture them not just for now, but for the decades ahead when these sleepy yawns and curled-up fingers feel like a dream.

One minute, you`re walking them into kindergarten with a backpack that’s almost bigger than they are…
and somehow, you`re standing on the beach, watching them get ready to graduate high school.

It goes fast. Too fast.⁠
⁠
That’s why senior portraits matter.
Not for the cap and gown—but for who they are right now.
The smile that still looks a little like their five-year-old self. The confidence that came from years of growing up under your wing.⁠
⁠
Let’s capture it—before the next chapter begins.⁠

Because the truth is—your kids probably won’t sit still.⁠⁣
They’ll make silly faces, run in opposite directions, or collapse into giggles just when you were hoping for that “one perfect shot.”⁣
⁠⁣
And honestly? That’s exactly what I want to capture.⁠⁣
⁠⁣
The real smiles. The chaos. The snuggles. The way your toddler leans into you when they`re tired, or how your baby clutches your finger like it’s the most important thing in the world.⁣
⁠⁣
That’s the good stuff.⁣
⁠⁣
And those are the moments you’ll actually want to remember.⁠
