Engagement session

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.

To celebrate this past Valentine's Day, I wanted to spread the love by giving away a free one hour photo session for a lucky winner and their Valentine. I asked my Facebook and Instagram followers to enter and had my son help me randomly choose a winner on Valentine's Day.

Chyna won the photo shoot for her and her love Eddie. We went to Old Maui High, one of my favorite places to shoot when I want to focus on capturing emotions. They were such a cute couple, so fun to work with!

Sarah + Matias {Maui Waterlovers engagement session}

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.
