I believe in the power of
intimate storytelling.
heart connections and the
energy between souls in love. 

I'm Cadence. 

My mission is to draw out emotion and freeze powerful moments in time, and I embrace the philosophy that small, quiet instances of connection are often the most significant. That the emotion of a scene is what gives it real impact. So, whether I’m photographing a big wedding or an intimate elopement, I'm always pursuing photos that capture more than simply how something looks. I want to preserve how it feels. 

most days you can find me on our 'ohana homestead, where we live off-grid up on the mountain. we have chickens & bees, and spend lots of time with our keiki outdoors. 

When I'm not documenting love or cruising with my couples around the island, I'm likely...

Cadence is beyond one of the brightest, most talented souls I have ever met! I met her the day of my wedding and it was as if she had already known our entire wedding group. She has such a clear vision that the photos continued to flow effortlessly. Beyond being such a talent and diligent photographer, she truly is one of the most down to earth and genuine people I and my entire family have come across. She really does want the best for everyone and does not stop working until the very last minute. Her work and her soul is so inspiring I am so so grateful to have had her as our photographer, and now someone I can call one of my friends. We love you !

Cadence is as sweet as one can be. From the start, she made me feel like she was my close friend. Conversing via email for a couple months, she helped me every step of the way, recommending different vendors like makeup, floral, officiants and videographers, etc. She genuinely seemed happy to help me. She even picked up my bouquet for me on the day of our wedding!

As sweet as she is, she is equally professional. She always answered my emails right away. She was very clear and concise. I can tell she’s very organized which I appreciate.

And the quality of her work… Well. It’s just magic. She has a special touch. My husband and I aren’t exactly comfortable in front of the camera but with Cadence’s direction, we didn’t feel one ounce of nerves for a full 3 hour session.

I know I could keep writing. All you need to know: She’s the best person ever. Her work is flawless.

I've been vegetarian since birth -- and lemme tell you, it was not trendy back
then, ha! 



I've performed hula hooping on stage for some of my favorite artists. 



I solo roadtripped from LA to Canada and back, doing photo shoots along the way.

Ram Dass officiated two weddings I had the honor of photographing.
