Matias + Sarah { Romantic Modern Bohemian Maui Wedding Inspiration }

The gorgeous of Maui hidden secret treasures are endless, what a better way to showcase a dose of inspiration for all those amazing couples looking to get lost in a tiny island in the middle of the ocean. Maui has so much to offer and even the most regular local roads are such an amazing backdrop for anything you can think of.  That's why I was thrilled when my beloved friend Vanessa from Delaluz Photos who was visiting us from Texas for the holidays, I met her in a photography Workshop in Joshua tree California last year. She asked me to create an spontaneous last minute epic editorial shoot to top off the last day of her trip with some colorful Hawaii bridal inspiration. What better models than Matias and Sarah from Nvmauimedia ,This stunning couple live in a constant honeymoon mode Its always a thrill to have them in front of a camera. I got to snap some shoots while accompanying my beloved friend. I am a firmly believer of comunity over competition and it's always so inspiring to see people who you admire work from behind. I am always beyond thrilled to play around with flowers also witch I crafted for this inspiration shoot just for fun 🥂👌🏽, I'm so in love with the elegant and romantic haku and floral bouquet , keep being inspired and do what you love.

Nina + Tom {Boho Picnic Maui Beach Elopement}

Who says an elopement has to be basic and simple? Nina and Tom flew all the way from Switzerland to tie the knot on Maui in an awesomely detailed beach elopement coordinated by Couture Events. I loved how much personality the driftwood tee-pee, the tropical picnic, and even the smudge sticks added to the event. The bride, a talented stationery designer, made an adorable personalized card announcing their elopement. These two were so sweet and blissfully carefree, they made it easy for me to capture their feelings on this oh-so-special day.

Emily + Andrew {Rustic Boho Chic Wedding at Tradewinds Ranch}

This next wedding was so amazing that it will stick with me forever. It's such a pleasure for me to hop on the plane to breathtaking Oahu's north shore to capture all the beauty of this Ranch chic wedding. From Emily’s gorgeous lace crop top wedding ensemble to the selection of handmade favors and the furniture that was flown in from the mainland, I just couldn’t get enough of all the fun details and the texture that surrounded me. It was an overload of eye candy for my lenses!

But beyond the details, what I will remember most is the genuine kindness shown to me by the couple and their family. I first met Emily and Andrew when I came to my neighbor island a couple of months in advance to do their engagement shoot, and from the beginning, they were so warm and sweet. During the excitement of wedding day, each and every single person and even the little ones truly made me feel like part of their ohana.

From the bride:

'Our hearts were so full and happy and BLESSED this morning scrolling through them and reliving our day, and you made us look and feel like a superstar magazine couple! You are truly an ARTIST and oh-so-talented and inspiring, you super mom you! We would love to work with you again when the baby time comes! XD We will recommend you to anyone we hear that is needing wedding/engagement/lifestyle photos done, you do such amazing work. We are truly blown away. And so easy and FUN to work with! I actually got teary over a few this morning wink emoticon. Thank you for being such a huge part of our special day, it was so so nice to have you be a part of it'
