Helga and Helgi are the embodiment of an international love story. Both from Norway – they met and fell in love back home before both moving to the US. Their elopement started a bit rough, from the marriage certificate and leis being forgotten and left behind at their hotel, and then their ring box being […]

Tayla originally reached out to me in March of 2020, when the pandemic was only supposed to last a couple of weeks. Anyone remember that time ? Ahhhh.. what a good joke. Anywho, their plan was to come to the islands after their wedding and celebrate their honeymoon with an awesome trash the dress session. […]

I don’t know why I love capturing engagements so much. Maybe because no matter how long after the actual proposal happened, all those emotions come back to the surface, and you can visibly see the love bubble around my couples. They’re filled with bliss, and giddy. Karla and Brandon met me for sunrise at Kiholo […]

I don’t usually have parents inquire on their children’s behalf .. but this time, I’m glad Dannielle did! She mentioned over the phone that her family would be vacationing in Hawaii and that her son Hunter was planning to propose to his long term girlfriend Tesa and asked if I could make it extra special […]

Ashley and Jun’s wedding day was quite literally an adventure. They started their day with an array of breakfast foods before they went and got ready in separate rooms.

Jay reached out to me on Instagram a couple of weeks before her small wedding to the love of her life Coby. I mostly shoot elopements with little to no guests, so shooting weddings are special to me. I also get really emotional at weddings – my own family is a *tad* dysfunctional and spread […]

I don’t shoot families that often, but when I do, I go hard. I was excited for all of the amazing weddings I was capturing, but I was seriously unsure how I was going to accommodate the family sessions that tend to pop up in the summer each year. So I decided to try something […]

Alicia inquired with me at the beginning of 2018 and was one of the first clients I booked when I started my business. They were supposed to get married in 2020 but then.. COVID happened. After months of rescheduling and traveling stress, we finally were able to find a date and set up everything for […]

Daphne + Dan. I can confidently say that you guys surprised the heck out of me. You guys were just SO cool. Pine Trees beach is one of my favorite on the island, not only because it’s close to my house and my dog Atlas loves it – but also because it offers so much […]
