Orange County Wedding Photographer | Photography blog of eric j. cotter

Heather and I just flew in from Maui where we went to photograph Doug and Laura’s wedding at the Maui Four Seasons in Wailea . The reason I am posting this as soon as I arrived, is that I challenged myself to stay “offline” for the entire trip. I did this last time we were in Hawaii and I really felt it was key to me relaxing and spending quality family time. I am proud to say that I was a good boy once again and refrained from being an internet ie Maui (ok so i did sneak a few emails from the Treo, but that doesn’t count)

The funny thing is that we ended up right next to Jim on our way out as he was headed to London (computer geeks Unite!)

Us on the Plane

In front of the pool

Isn’t the water amazing?

Im sooooo a NINJA!!!

We missed our girls so we wrote them a message

Heather Laying out on the beach

My favorite photo of the trip. This is us on the Kai Kanani boat out to Molikine to snorkel (best boat trip ever!!)

It was crazy I was swimming 5 feet from about 6 turtles!!

Another one of my faves with my hottie wife

I could not believe the water. This was actually someone’s private backyard beach!!

I ran Heather ragged


I had a chance to take a few pics of my beautiful wife so i can have a new one on my desk.
(Isn’t she so beautiful!?)

Here we went to a litle rain forest type place

And we’re OUT!! See YA!

More to come soon from Doug and Laura’s Maui wedding and also Toby and Shea’s sweet shindig in Palm Desert at the Rancho Las Palmas

This past Thursday our whole team had the chance to celebrate the holidays together. We had such a great time at Lucky Strike Lanes (simply the best bowling ally ever). I really wanted to take home the trophy for highest score but ended up 4 pins short (but I did have the highest single game score of the night.

Jim gettin all laced up

Stephanie rockin the rainbow sherbert socks (she borrowed them from Jim hehe )

Look at that form

Set ‘em up and I knock them down (notice all my pins gone and all of Jim’s still there)

153 was the highest score of the night

The whole JKP team

Shane gloating with the trophy

I met Kelly and TJ through Tim and Christy (click here) I love when you can tell what type of people someone will be, just by who they are friends with. From the moment they stepped on the beach I could sense how easy going they were and had a very good attitude about life (Just Like the Wilkersons ) . Tj is a football coach for the mighty University of New Mexico Lobos, and Kelly a nurse so I wish them well with both working a ton of hours in areas they are so passionate about.

Here is a movie of their engagement session

Well, do I have any visitors left? I’m sorry I have been a terrible blogger in 2007, and I even resolved to blog all of my weddings

So let me know if I have any readers left by sending me a comment with your thoughts.
