it’s such a great thing seeing two people starting off their lives together. super cool start to a super cool new life. and because i like to take photos, i took my camera. i don’t know if it was ok or not with the professional wedding photographer they had, but i didn’t want to miss the moment in my eyes. so i stood back, and shot a few photos. no, i’m not a wedding photographer, but i just try to shoot, try to learn, and keep these precious memories forever. check it out.

i wanted to congratulate Yumie-chan and Takuya-san again. hope you have a wonderful life ahead!

good light, good white, and good couple.

Yumie-chan was sooooo beautiful in her wedding dress. OMG!

i love this photo. beach, sand, ocean, and surfers. a great combo!

and this one is probably the best photo i’ve even taken. it actually makes me want to cry. a lovely couple, a happy day, and a bright future!
i met Yumie-chan on a photo shoot for Flipper magazine 6 years ago. ever since then, she’s been a real inspiration to me and taught me how to be positive. she’s a very special person! Congratulations again Yumie-chan and Takuya-san!!!!

i sit down in my seat on the airplane, open up the new surfing magazine, and i get a big surprise!

i flip the page and see my nephew! Seth Moniz getting interviewed by the biggest magazine in the surfing world industry. now the whole world knows Seth Moniz!

one of the questions was:
Q: Your proudest moment in life?
A: Spearing a 20 lb. ulua in front of my brothers.
haha. that’s so funny because i was there. and if you looked how bummed out his brothers were, you would be laughing too. the youngest kid gets the biggest fish. haha. and it happened to be on his birthday.

another question was:
Q: What is your lifetime goal?
A: To win a world title!
that made me happy seeing this young boy having such a big dream. when seth was 14 years old, i asked him what his dream was. he told me “i don’t know.” 2 years later, Seth is reaching for the top and i love it! yeah Seth, you can do it!!!

then as i was eating my dinner, i was watching the movie “Chasing Mavericks.” it was freaking awesome! you should all watch it.

then jumping to mexico, i just got the coolest photos sent by Satoko. OMG! it’s been my dream to see a seahorse and that dream still hasn’t come true. someday i will and now i know where to go. see you in Mexico amigo!

another great photo from Satoko. nature from all around the world. you gotta love it.
