Rachel + Joey {Passionate Makena Maui Honeymoon Session}

Rachel and Joey were gorgeous, adventurous, and full of passion - many of my favorite things all wrapped together. They were on their honeymoon, so they weren't afraid to be lovey dovey and didn't need much direction. In fact, they really had a blast pretending to be models for our shoot, which made it all the more fun for me too. 

We spent an hour and a half around Makena on the south side of Makena, where they soaked in all the beauty this island has to offer and talked about moving here one day. I hope they do. They were so nice, it's always great to add more friends to my Maui ohana!

Chanel + Aslam {Romantic Andaz Maui beach wedding elopement by Mokapu Beach shores}

As much as I love all the gorgeous details of a big, fancy wedding, there is something so personal about an elopement. Since the minister and I are often the only witnesses, this makes my job extra important. I know all the couple's loved ones are anxiously awaiting any photos of the special day.

As soon as the name Chanel pop up in my inbox I was seriously intrigued by, I love fashion and couldn't hardly imagine how much Classic Glamour will this stunning bride bring to my eyes.

Chanel and Aslam were really sweet I had an amazing time capturing how charming they were to each other. Being behind the scenes, capturing them getting ready together, felt like a glimpse into their home life and I can tell they are going to have an awesome marriage.

Jannae + Garrett {Colorful North Shore Engagement Session}

California cuties Jannae and Garrett had already reserved me to capture their wedding on the west side, so we wanted to do something pretty different for engagement photos. I proposed the north shore for some fun colors. 

First, we went to Baldwin Beach, then we stopped by Paia Bay for this fantastic wave mural I love so much. I’ve always wanted to photograph people on it and well, they just fit the bill! Next stop was beautiful Hookipa Beach. The tide was very low so we were able to see a different view than usual. We ended in Paia town with some yummy shave ice.

It was awesome getting to spend so much time with Jannae and Garett before their wedding. I loved all the wardrobe changes to fit each scene… it was definitely a great preview of their fashion sense. Stay tuned for their gorgeous wedding!
