These two do stunts for a living so you can imagine how much fun we had during the Bride & Groom portraits!

I’ve known this little girl since she was in Rana’s belly! This girl has so much sweetness and spunk. She’s grown up into such a precocious and smart little girl since our last photo session which can be seen HERE.
Congratulations Rana & Brandon on the news, I cannot wait to meet Vida’s little sibling! The next belly shots should be on the beaches of Maui….what d’ya say?

Beautiful upcountry Maui. A furry pup. A swing. A dazzling array of flowers. And one of the sweetest couples ever.
A few weeks ago, Della had an impromptu idea for a stylized shoot. Della of Dellables is one of Maui’s most popular florists and it’s easy to see why, her work is simply fantastic. There are few people I know who have the artistic vision and talent that Della possesses.
Thank you to Chrissy Swink for doing such a beautiful job on the hair & makeup! And a big thanks to Jes Akin, who helped pull this shoot together within a day’s notice. It’s wonderful to be surrounded with such talent & inspiration.

These photos were taken a few days before their wedding here on the island, and the two of them could not have been more excited! Jennifer and Matt traveled from Tennessee and I just love their Southern accents. Right off the bat, I knew we could be good friends if they only lived on Maui. Matt met Jennifer when he was interviewing at different pharmacies, and when he happened to interview with Jennifer, he was easily convinced to accept the job. It has been a sweet romance ever since!
Congratulations, Jennifer & Matt! If you do ever decide to open a pharmacy here, please let me be the first to know.

Canh and Thu met via mutual friends one night out on the town. He worked up the courage to ask for her number, which led to two weeks of texting before he finally asked her out on a date. The date went great, and they’ve been crazy in love ever since. He proposed to her at La Jolla Cove, when his initial plans of proposing on a hot air balloon (adventurous, right?) were foiled by poor weather conditions. It worked out for the best, since now they have a place to go and celebrate their anniversary. Thu and Canh are such a great match, and they are the type of people who treat everyone with kindness and love.
The two worked incredibly hard planning their wedding, and certainly didn’t leave out any details in the biggest celebration of their lives. They decided to have their wedding be a smaller, more intimate event, inviting only their closest friends (no parents or family, even). They basically wanted to throw the best party possible, and The White Orchid Beach House is the perfect place to do that. It’s a charming ocean-side property, where the gentle ocean breeze can be felt and the incredible sunset can be enjoyed.
Congratulations Canh & Thu on a beautiful wedding!
