make-a-wish... come true


back in december i volunteered to shoot a christmas party for the make-a-wish foundation in san diego. i was so inspired by the wish kids that i immediately offered my services to make-a-wish for some upcoming events where they might be able to use my abilities. i was thrilled to get a call back less than a week later with a request to help with a wish.
this wish was for brandy.
brandy was born with a congenital heart defect and has seen a lifetime of medical challenges by the age of 15, but still has a smile brighter than the las vegas strip. her wish was to celebrate (a little early) her 16th birthday with all of her friends and family, a la my super sweet 16, at the fabulous hotel del coronado. lindsay (brandy's wish coordinator) said that at the heart of brandy's wish, she wanted to have the time of her life, thank her family and friends for being so supportive, and feel pampered. all three of those things were achieved. this party was incredible!
kim and i were just two small niblets on this huge event corn cob. along with brandy and her family, we send out a massive mahalo to everyone that helped make brandy's wish come true. i hope i got everyone here:

Top California and Destination Wedding Photographer, Specializing in Artistic and Fun Wedding Photojournalism, Fashion Photography, and Trash the Dress Sessions Aloha! My name is David Baxter. I am the owner and lead photographer of Ohana Photographers, a San Diego based wedding photography studio that specializes in providing clients with artistic and fun wedding day photography with a dash of wedding photojournalism and a hint of fashion photography. We also love to do trash the dress sessions in California or on location after a destination wedding. Although we are based in San Diego, that’s not the only place we shoot weddings. We photograph weddings throughout Southern California and Northern California, as well as destination weddings around the world. We love to travel and are always trying to fill up our destination wedding bingo cards. Past destination weddings, trash the dress sessions, and portrait photography sessions have taken us to Mexico, St. Thomas and St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands, Arizona, Nevada, Texas, Washington, and the beautiful islands of Hawaii. San Diego weddings are always beautiful, but we absolutely LOVE the opportunity to photograph destination weddings and use our creativity in new places. Personally, I don’t like to be type cast or pigeon holed, so we always try to keep our photographic style fresh while maintaining a timeless quality. Although we never want to stop learning or trying new things there are some things that we will always love to incorporate in our photos, like natural light, bright colors, sun flare, different angles, real emotions, powerful moments, and happy faces. To date, our style of photography has been described many ways, but the descriptions we liked the best were artistic, fun, sexy, and straight out of a fashion magazine. We’ll let you decide though. Take a look at our website and let us know what you think our photographic style is. Destination Wedding Photography International Wedding Photographer Couples who choose to have destination weddings are often looking for that perfect location to say their vows. For this reason, hiring a destination wedding photographer is just as important if not more important than hiring a local photographer. Destination weddings are full of breathtaking scenery and provide gorgeous wedding backdrops that should be documented professionally by a top destination photographer. Destination weddings provide an amazing opportunity for the couple to connect with their photographer. Time and again, clients are referred to us by recently married couples who felt that our easygoing, friendly nature and hard work ethic were exactly what they were looking for in a photographer. For a destination wedding, Ohana Photographers will be at the location for a few days, enabling us to personally connect with our couple as well as see the location to ensure outstanding photography. Though the majority of Ohana Photographers weddings have been shot in California, destination clients have hired us to photograph their weddings across the United States and beyond. Whether your wedding is on a cliff top in California overlooking the Pacific, a beach in Hawaii, a hut in Fiji, a coconut grove in Bora Bora, a sailboat off the coast of an island in the Caribbean, a church in jolly old England, a castle in Ireland, or anywhere else you can dream up around the world, Ohana Photographers would be happy to provide top notch wedding photojournalism for your special day. California Wedding Photography San Diego Wedding Photographer As a San Diego-based wedding photographer, Ohana Photographers has shot numerous weddings throughout the state of California. Most commonly David shoots weddings in Southern California, including Los Angeles and Orange County as well as San Diego. Southern California has so many beautiful wedding locations that it's easy to see why so many couples choose to get married here. A love for the city and the glamour of Hollywood leads couples to Los Angeles, Orange County offers many upscale hotels overlooking the breaking waves and sandy beaches, and San Diego is a popular place for couples who want to have a beautiful, laid back wedding. With so many breathtaking venues between San Diego, Orange County and Los Angeles, it's hard for couples to pick the perfect one.
