OAHU, HAWAII BASED
TRAVELING WORLDWIDE
We're a husband and wife team — I’m Tay, the photographer, working with both digital and film to capture timeless, artful imagery. My husband, Cobian, often joins me as the filmmaker, bringing motion and sound to your story when video is part of the vision.
Our approach is rooted in intentionality. We believe in creating space for genuine connection, letting moments unfold naturally, and finding the beauty in the in-between. Whether we’re documenting through just photo or photo and video, the goal is the same: to make the experience effortless, fun, and meaningful — while capturing your story from a perspective that feels entirely your own.
Photography is more than a creative expression — it’s a bridge between myself, the natural world, and the deeply human experiences that connect us all. This space is where my greatest passions converge, and my hope is that it speaks to you in a way that feels meaningful, intentional, and true.
Whether I’m serving my couples through visual storytelling or simply connecting with kindred spirits drawn to this work, my heart is always rooted in purpose. I’m endlessly inspired by love — not just the joyful, golden moments, but the full spectrum of emotion that relationships hold. To me, that depth is profoundly poetic. It’s where the soul of my artistry lives.
This is why I love love
MY WHY
WHEN I'M NOT WORKING...
OUR LOVE
You can find me adventuring with Cobian, most likely in the ocean, on our boat, hiking in the mountains, camping, hanging out on the beach, harvesting from my garden, or cuddling and playing with our cats.

MY WHY
WHEN I'M NOT WORKING...
OUR LOVE
Through friends on the beach — a serendipitous beginning that felt effortless from the start. A few days later, Cobian asked me to hang out, and from that moment on, we were inseparable. After two years of dating, we had a five-month engagement and celebrated our love with the most beautiful wedding. I was initially hesitant about having a big celebration, but it turned out to be more magical and meaningful than I ever could have imagined — a day filled with so much love, joy, and unforgettable memories. Our wedding had a profound impact on how I view weddings now.
We met...
Growing our family in the near future. While our journey to parenthood hasn’t been without its challenges, we hold deep faith that one day we’ll be blessed with a beautiful little soul to love and nurture. We dream of building a tiny home tucked away on a quiet piece of land — a place where life moves slowly and intentionally. A big garden to tend, space to roam barefoot, and the kind of peace that allows us to raise and homeschool our future children here in our hometown on the North Shore of Oʻahu. A life rooted in simplicity, beauty, and deep connection — that’s the vision we hold close to our hearts.
We dream of...

The Ocean & Me
The ocean is where I feel most at home — weightless, grounded, and deeply connected. As a diver and oceanographer, I’ve come to see the sea not just as a place of beauty, but as a living, breathing world full of mystery and meaning. It’s where wonder and purpose meet, and where I’m endlessly inspired to create.
Every wedding & elopement booked comes with a coral adoption with the Coral Gardeners

Conservation is at the heart of our lifestyle and values. We regularly take part in reef and beach cleanups, and nearly all of the fish we consume — around 95% — is sustainably sourced through our own catch or spearfishing. We strive to live in harmony with the ocean, doing our part to protect and preserve it while raising awareness whenever and wherever we can.

"Heyy! So just looked through our pictures! I’m honestly upset...because now I wanna bring you with us on all vacations to do shoots. THEY ARE SOOOOOO FREAKING AWESOME. I know you hear this a lot but somehow they capture us, our relationship, our personalities soooo perfectly. Like every single part of us. I thought they were going to be just beautiful pictures but they are so much more than that. We absolutely love them. You are so talented!! I can’t tell you which is my favorite because I have too many lol. We had such a fun time taking them and we are so glad we picked you to capture it."
