A few weeks ago, I met Trina and Mike who were visiting Maui. She was here for work while Mike scouted out the best golf courses. I instantly clicked with both of them. Trina reminds me of a sister that I never had…common interests & hobbies alike. And Mike is a wonderful guy who absolutely adores Trina. Both of them were playful and natural in front of the camera which made this photo session a breeze.

These shots were taken hours before they hopped on the plane to San Diego. Who knows, maybe they will be back for a Maui wedding.

Gayle & Rich, who are from Portland, were recently vacationing on Maui. This extremely cool couple just got engaged! After staying at the Sea Breeze Villa (what a beautiful place to celebrate!), they decided to change their wedding to a Maui destination wedding (and who can blame them?). I couldn’t personally think of a better place to get married, although I am biased, since my husband and I tied the knot here. But I am a firm believer that Hawaii is a little slice of heaven, with its exotic volcanic rocks, blue turquoise waters and warm soft sand.

Rich has a great sense of humor, he’s always making Gayle smile & laugh. And Gayle has an infectious smile that could light up any room. Their tropical wedding is next February, at the luxurious Sea Breeze Villa. Here are some photographs of their engagement session.

I couldn’t have asked for a nicer couple. These two are having their wedding in Maui next February! We took some time to do their engagement session at Sea Breeze Villa. Guess who their Maui wedding photographer is going to be? Yes, lucky me!

While I was in Los Angeles, I had the pleasure of meeting and photographing Charie and Matt. These two lovebirds are engaged, and are getting married this September on Maui. They met back in high school and have been inseparable ever since. They are both are so natural in front of the camera, which made this engagement session a blast. Since they are from Glendale, we decided to do the engagement shoot in Old Town Pasadena. Old Town has a lot of old brick buildings and the architecture has a lot of character. (I actually lived there for a couple of years too!)

I hope you enjoy the images as much as I enjoyed taking them! I’m looking forward to being their wedding photographer in Maui this September!

Meet Brian and Mele. This warm and loving couple currently live on Oahu, but are getting married in a few months here on Maui in Lahaina. Joanna Tano invited me along to shoot with her on this engagement session. The lighting was perfect, especially around sunset. Here are a few of my favorite shots. Congratulations, Brian & Mele!
