Maternity + Family Portrait Fun at Kanaha Beach Park in the shores of Maui

Morgana was dreaming about Maui when she contacted me last minute telling me how much they love my work and asking if I can capture this special time of their growing family. I was already flattered and felt emotionally connected though our emails - maternity always gets me so nostalgic of my baby bump - but when we met at Kanaha Beach Park for some fun in the sun and water, I was greatly surprised to realize they were visiting from Brazil. Right away our Latin vibe grew stronger and we the bonded even more. Oh my! Love it when I connect with my clients, seems heaven sent!

I crafted the floral crowns for Morgana and her daughter to wear and later enlisted her husband and little one to help shower his wife with petals. This family was so nice and getting to hear the language when these loving parents talked Portuguese to their daughter was like music to my ears, so beautiful. They were all glowing with joy and it truly blessed my spirit to spend these moments with them and see the gorgeous expressions in their faces.

Pamela + Joerg {Maui Northshore sweet intimate elopement}

I absolutely love my life here in Maui, but I do miss my Peruvian culture since I live so far away. Bride Pamela is also from Peru and living elsewhere, so we bonded immediately over our mutual homesickness and of course most important the Food! We were a wonderful match made in heaven, both loving Ceviche more than anything in the world! Well besides our beloved ones ;)

With the help of Maui’s Angels Weddings, Pamela planned every moment of her intimate elopement at Mama’s Fish House Beach to perfection, creating a ceremony inspired by the traditions of Hawaii and the colors of Maui. Minister Laki was chosen to officiate and he made this cute multicultural couple shine and laugh so much during the entire ceremony, making my job so much easier. After Pamela and Jorg said I Do, we did some playful shots cruising around Paia and ended the session with a romantic champagne cheers at the amazing cliff house in Haiku where they were staying.

From the Bride:

"I remember looking for weeks and even months at hundreds of pictures in internet, searching for my wedding photographer and suddenly I found the most beautiful ones taken by Angie. She was my favorite! Icontacted her and what a surprise to know that she was born in Peru... same as me! She sent me a very long Email with all kind of suggestions and ideas and it was for me clear that she would be our photographer on such a special occasion. We kept sending Emails for months and she was always so kind to answer all my questions and give me good advice about everything. 

During the ceremony she was there…but somehow invisible …like a butterfly flying around us but without interrupting the ceremony. After the ceremony we had our photo session in different places; some of them very romantic others very fun and she made us feel very comfortable. I even remember her climbing a Palm tree in order to capture the best angle for the picture!

I have seen a couple of our photos and I couldn´t be happier! She is a real artist! They are amazing! I can´t wait to see the other ones!

I would highly recommend her to anyone! She is the Mario Testino of Hawaii! 
Gracias Angie!"

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.
