Eat Love. Pray Love. EnJoy Love.

I love when I get the opportunity to witness sweet, genuine love between a couple. Joy & Jake have been in my life now for awhile and we reconnected to capture their essence. They both have done an immense amount of spiritual work and they are both magical to say the least. On our walk upcountry on Thompson Road, I kept seeing these little micro-moments between them where their love was ever so clear. Enjoy these precious moments in time Joy & Jake… and thank you for allowing me to witness it… such an honor.

A Beautiful Wedding at Gannon's in Wailea

It is always so wonderful to witness a loving wedding with friends and family that are thrilled for the couple. Nicole and David were the absolute cutest and were so excited to get married. Their wedding parties were full of great energy and the day was one of those perfect Maui days. They honored each other in a very heartfelt ceremony led by Ayesha of Merry Maui Weddings. We had a great time during family photos and the lighting during the romantics was my all time favorite… soft, sweet and perfect for light play. We ended up over at Lava Rock for the reception where they rented the whole place for themselves. The patio was set up very nicely by the aunties and they were ready to sing and dance the night away. Thank you so much for having me and I wish David & Nicole nothing but the best on their journey to come.

Engagement ~ Kim + Tim

I absolutely love LOVE! Every week I find myself in some aspect of celebrating love whether its photographing a wedding or getting a sweet inquiry from a new engaged couple like Kim & Tim. Whenever I get an inquiry, I get so excited as our conversations unfold and we begin to connect. Kim knew she wanted to take her photos in a tucked away cove next to the ocean with the option of greenery as well. I knew of one of my favorite spots on the south side that would be the perfect place for us to create magic. We decided on a morning meet up as the weather on Maui had been quite surprising with unexpected snowfall, high winds and lots of passing showers. We completely lucked out with warm sunshine, blue ocean tones and a soft breeze that morning. Kim & Tim were so sweet with each other and knew just how to make each other giggle. They were up for hiking around on the rocks, getting in the ocean and we all really enjoyed every minute we had together. They will be celebrating their marriage in September in the Redwoods of California. I wish those two the best of luck on their journey in life together and hope they will always remember this simple, sweet Maui morning when it was just the two of them giggling with Aloha swirling all around them.

Elopement ~ Phillip & Angie

Intimate elopements are some of my favorite kinds of weddings. Phillip and Angie traveled to Maui from Germany to get married on a white, sandy beach in Hawaii. The connection they had was so genuine and Phillip had an admiration for Angie that was undeniable. We had a great time exchanging ideas for romantics and they pictures tell a lovely story of their sweet beachside elopement.

Five Palms Wedding . Jade +Otto

It’s always so wonderful when everything just comes together simply, gracefully and with ease. Jade & Otto embodied all of those qualities as well as their guests. Everyone was filled with such respect and love toward each other that they truly represented “ohana” which means family in Hawaiian. We all celebrated on the south shores of Maui at the stunning Five Palms Restaurant which sits in one of the most picturesque locations on the island. The breeze was soft, the light was just right and the moments of joy & laughter were everywhere. It was so great that the bridal party creatively posed together and had such fun with those shots. Jade and Otto just adored one another so much. Every moment was beautiful beyond words. I am truly grateful to connect with such loving people. Congratulations Jade & Otto…..
