Andie + Danny {DIY North Shore Beach Wedding and Upcountry Maui Reception}

Danny and Andrea aka Andie were full of energy and awesome personalities! Their wedding reflected the couple's cool style thanks to many DIY projects, including the invitations and florals. I also was inspired by the unique venues: the cute, village-style vacation rental where everyone got ready, the north shore beach with seaweed covered rocks, and the reception took place at a family friend's house in Kula where everyone danced the night away above the clouds. This New Year's wedding was such a fun way to start 2016 and I'll never forget it!

Stay tuned for Andrea and Danny's magical Trash the Dress session...

Camila + Charley {Heartfelt Beach and Lavender Farm Maternity Session}

Maternity sessions are always fun because of the many emotions involved. There's excitement, anticipation, a little bit of anxiousness and worry, tons of questions (what will baby look like? when will baby be ready to come out? what kind of personality will baby have?), but most of all so much love - enough love to have created new life, and in this case, two new lives!

That's right, Camila and Charley are expecting TWINS, actually any day now. They have been waiting forever to become parents and will be naturals. Camila is incredibly warm and loving, and Charley is just head over heels excited for their growing ohana. We began at sunrise on the beach and then went up to the lavender farm, where the smell is amazing. It was precious to capture this special moment for a couple so dear to my heart. 

Rachel + Dylan {Upcountry Engagement Session in Makawao Town and Olinda Forest}

Rachel and Dylan are sure to have the most wonderful marriage since their engagement was full of the most genuine laughs and silliness. These two are both amazing youth pastors who teach little ones about God. They have hearts of gold and really put the Lord first, which is so refreshing to see. We used Scrabble letters as a fun way to describe their relationship.

For their engagement session, we ventured Upcountry, starting in Makawao Town and then heading to Olinda Forest for some gorgeous nature shots.
