Veronika + Scott {Spontaneous Elopement on Maui's Westside}

Maui is such a magical place. I'm grateful every day that I get to live here and love seeing people experience the island beauty with fresh eyes. When high school sweethearts Scott and Veronika visited Maui from their native Canada, they decided it was the perfect time and place to make it official and become husband and wife! 

I was thrilled to put together some floral touches, but they were such a gorgeous couple, exuding love and so relaxed in front of the camera, that the simplicity really suited them. We started off at Ironwoods Beach and then ventured to West Maui Forest Reserve aka Honolua Bay Forest. The lighting was perfect and the whole day was a reminder to live in the moment!

Crisna + Brandon {Wedding at Olowalu Plantation}

I was thrilled to see Crisna and Brandon's tropical wedding at Olowalu Plantation featured in Pacific Weddings because I know what a labor of love this day was. Crisna was an organized bride who was excited to plan their special day, an intimate celebration inspired by the natural beauty of Hawaii and her favorite flower, the protea. She contacted me early in the planning process, so we became close as she would bounce ideas off of me.

I was honored to witness the beginning of a lifelong marriage and even got to spend extra time with these newlyweds for a jungle trash the dress session at Twin Falls, which you can see here.

Sydney + Kevin | Beautiful destination Maui wedding.

Have you ever seen an angel? This is how I felt after I saw how amazingly beautiful Sydney look and felt the day of her dream wedding ( she is a nurse so she is actually kind of angel in real life ) . What made this feature really special is that i was able to connect to my bride in such an amazing way, her father talk to me how this canadian little princess has always dreamed about getting hitched in Maui since they came to visit the islands in their family vacations. From the amazing dress witch the bride pick for resembles of the waves of the ocean to the handcrafted vintage brooch bouquet my amazing bride made. This amazing beach wedding in the shores of Makena beach was simply stunning while very intimate. I feel so blew I was able to capture this two cuties in the best day of their lifes.
