Kayla + Evan { Rustic Rainy Backyard Maui Wedding in tropical Haiku}

It was truly sweet to get to capture this lovely couple in their next chapter in life after  doing an engagement session a year earlier, it helped make them more comfortable with me before their big day (You can see it here) Because nobody anticipated the storm we were about to have in this rainy day!. Kayla and Evan planned a traditional church ceremony followed by a lovely laid back morning reception in her parent's backyard. The Haiku area of Maui is known for being wet, but we were especially concerned about the weather with Hurricane/Tropical Storm Darby approaching. Kayla and Evan decided to go ahead despite the heavy rain and mud, the ' for better or for worse ' part of the wedding vows were absolutely put to the challenge XD. They were incredibly calm, and I was really impressed with how Kayla took everything in stride and remained a happy bride. It inspired me to work even harder to give them the very best pictures. I got soaking wet and muddy. The conditions also created constant condensation in my lenses. However, in the end, it was all worth it!

Sarah + Matias {Maui Waterlovers engagement session}

in

The next session is near and dear to my heart as Matias is the little brother of my good friend Catalina and also a fellow visual artist who does photography and videography in Maui through his company Nomad Visual Productions. I had a feeling Matias was going to propose, so as soon as heard the good news, I jumped at the opportunity to do their engagement session.

The original plan was to do a beach session at La Perouse Bay, but Mother Nature had other ideas and decided to send a downpour our way. Instead of trying to figure out another date that would work with their busy schedules, Sarah and Matias were happy to enjoy the drizzles and play hide and seek with the rain cloud. Since these two soul surfers spend most of their time in the water, it was the natural place to end such a beautiful time together. Matias and Sarah, these Argentinian-American mixture made in heaven were both so humble and fun to photograph. I can’t wait to see how their love will blossom and grow through the years.
