Emily + Andrew {Rustic Boho Chic Wedding at Tradewinds Ranch}

This next wedding was so amazing that it will stick with me forever. It's such a pleasure for me to hop on the plane to breathtaking Oahu's north shore to capture all the beauty of this Ranch chic wedding. From Emily’s gorgeous lace crop top wedding ensemble to the selection of handmade favors and the furniture that was flown in from the mainland, I just couldn’t get enough of all the fun details and the texture that surrounded me. It was an overload of eye candy for my lenses!

But beyond the details, what I will remember most is the genuine kindness shown to me by the couple and their family. I first met Emily and Andrew when I came to my neighbor island a couple of months in advance to do their engagement shoot, and from the beginning, they were so warm and sweet. During the excitement of wedding day, each and every single person and even the little ones truly made me feel like part of their ohana.

From the bride:

'Our hearts were so full and happy and BLESSED this morning scrolling through them and reliving our day, and you made us look and feel like a superstar magazine couple! You are truly an ARTIST and oh-so-talented and inspiring, you super mom you! We would love to work with you again when the baby time comes! XD We will recommend you to anyone we hear that is needing wedding/engagement/lifestyle photos done, you do such amazing work. We are truly blown away. And so easy and FUN to work with! I actually got teary over a few this morning wink emoticon. Thank you for being such a huge part of our special day, it was so so nice to have you be a part of it'

Lindsey's Dreamy in Ohana Maternity session at Maui Northshore

I am so grateful to have been able to document the beautiful maternity of one of my closest and most precious friends! Lindsey and Andre are my best buddies and I definitely wanted to capture something that portrait their very down to earth yet elevated sense style. They chose their own home for the setting, because they wanted it to feel intimate and comfortable; closely following their natural and free lifestyles. Their picturesque Haiku home made for some beautiful photos. It also didn't hurt that she is a professional model. The early breakfast theme was perfect for this simple but stylish setting, and is the perfect time for them to cuddle up before they start their day. I can not wait to meet baby Rex!

Abby + Zachary {Adorable Makena Cove beach Proposal in Maui}

Abby and Zachary had the most romantic vacation to Maui! Zachary planned to propose to Abby on their trip, so wrote me in advance for the most beautiful spots for his girl, so we did my specialty the 'Love tour' package where we go to some of the most amazing and intimate views on the island. These two were so filled with love, that it overflowed onto me, creating a charming experience to capture in the shores of Makena beaches. Abby's sparkling smile and Zachary's love for her came together on this special day for both of them.
