Everyone knows that an octopus (tako) is the master of disguise. It can conform itself into any shape and texture and also hide in the tiniest of places in order to escape its predator. If you know where to look, you can find them, I found it's eye.

The last wave of the day. Doesn't have to be a big wave, it doesn't have to be a small wave. As long as you know that your day was full of positive vibes. Hope your Monday went well as it did mine.

"A HEARTWARMING SUNSET" Print 1 of 25 It's amazing how the wind patterns constantly change the formation of the clouds so high in the atmosphere. I was really lucky to have been in the right place at the right time or I would've missed it. Look closely and you'll see a heart formed in the clouds. I took this photo a week after hurricane Douglas passed the Hawaiian Island chain. . Produced on 16x24 Metal Print. Limited to 25 pieces. Hand-signed, titled and numbered. If you're interested in purchasing this beauty, call or message me today. Happy Monday! . #hnn #hnnsunrise #hawaiinewsnow #hawaiinewsnowsunrise #nickpugayphotography #artoftheday #instagramart #instagood #artistsoninstagram #potd #luckywelivehawaii #sunset #sunsetporn #fireinthesky #skyporn #metalprints #clouds #cloudporn #heartshapedclouds #naturephotography #travelphotography #visithawaii #lethawaiihappen #instahawaii #wanderlust #art #hawaiilifevacations #nakedhawaii #hawaiianairlines (at Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort) https://www.instagram.com/p/CES1bMAjDYG/?igshid=1cmrnbgr9wf5k

Technically this was @hapacandyhawaii first dance on her wedding day and it was with her father who escorted her down the aisle. - I’m glad this popped up in my IG Memories as it’s brought back so many happy memories I’ve captured over the years as a photographer. - Whether it’s a wedding photo or baby photo or my ocean wall art, I hope that my work brings joy to you all who are looking through my profile every time I post something new and I thank you for your support whether if you’re just browsing through the images, sending a like/commenting on anything I post or purchasing my limited edition prints. - Have a blessed Tuesday and stay safe.

Hawaii again is under partial lockdown as of 8.8.2020 due to the rise in positive Covid-19 tests and deaths. Beaches and parks are off limits and some businesses have also been shutdown. • 2020 has really been a struggle for everyone and I’d like to leave you all with this photo to remind you that even during this pandemic, Mother Nature will provide us with something beautiful to look at in hopes of keeping our spirits up as we are all in this together. • So please enjoy this new photo I call, “Whispy brush strokes”, and I hope it’s made your day a lot brighter. Enjoy your Tuesday everyone!🤙🏽 • #hawaiitag #vibes #summervibes #hawaiisunset #hnnsunrise #hawaiinewsnowsunrise #sunset #artistsoninstagram #instadaily #instagram #artoftheday #wallart #photoart #visualart #nickpugayphotography #covid19 #metalprints #limitededition #explore #potd #lit #wearyourmask (at South Shore Grill Hawaii) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDvysaKjFc6/?igshid=fqa9bwf0j8rq

Congratulations to my colleague and friend, @dayntilee and her husband @mike_miura as they tied the knot on 8.8.2020. • They had a beautiful backyard wedding with just 9 other people in attendance, keeping the total number of people to 10 and 2 adorable Labs as their ring bearers. • I wore my mask throughout their special day so that they are protected from me. Please be responsible and help to flatten the curve (again) by wearing your mask whenever you are out-and-about so that we can beat this COVID-19 virus. Then future couples will be able to get married at the location of their dreams and everyone can (hopefully) live a normal life again. • Congratulations Dayna and Mike! • #nickpugayphotography #covidwedding #backyardweddings #wearyourmask😷 #thenewnormal #hawaiiwedding #weddingphotographer #hawaiiweddingphotographer #oahuwedding #oahuweddingphotographer #weddingdress #dowhatyoulove #mypassion #intimatewedding #thisisart #artofvisiuals #artistsoninstagram #instadaily #ınstagood #hawaiinewsnow #hnnsunrise #photography #potd #flattenthecurve #bestday #love #iheartyou #creatingmemories #livelaughlove #loveliketheresnotomorrow (at Oahu Life) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDuURinjN8m/?igshid=x3akmbk78zpl

Marrying the person you truly love in the backyard of a home where you grew up, and in front of the people who brought you into this world and raised you to the person you are today, makes your special day that much more special.
