You had me at aloha...
That tropical island breeze, that fresh salt water smell, the island vibes that awake your soul when you land and experience Hawaii…this is living!
I had the pleasure of going to the lovely island of Oahu to photograph an elopement and hike a mountain I never thought was possible; however what struck me more is that the couple that I was witnessing their love with, had no problem adventuring with myself and spending the wee hours of the morning climbing effortlessly to achieve the shots wanted. Witnessing two people share a new journey together, let alone the effort and passion behind whether it be a wedding at a huge venue or something simple in a backyard, the whole meaning behind two people loving one another is absolutely beautiful.
Kaaawa, HI
As they say O’Hana means family, and that is just what this couple made me feel like. From listening to their quirks with one another, to seeing how they interacted and the pure genuine love they had for one another, this couple was nothing short of amazing and totally one with the island they were on. I look forward to returning to HI and seeing them in the future! Definitely a place that you could constantly return to and mostly people that you would want to surround yourself with. J + K // Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness and joy! Thank you for sharing your journey with myself and showing me an adventure of a lifetime!

The skyline is full of wonders...
A love-filled story lost amongst the fog in the city.
Ever wonder what it’s like to feel super busy, yet so settled at the same time? To walk amongst the streets and listen - just listen to the people chatting, birds chirping, the constant horns honking for traffic isn’t moving fast enough to the city’s hustle. New York…for some reason - I absolutely love getting lost within the chaos!
Susie + Kieran are absolutely the sweetest. Their love connection between the two of them is nothing but ease. The look between each other’s eyes is just perfect! Brooklyn brings lots of love, and wind…this glorious overcast day left a haze over the bridge but just enough where you can see it in the background of their amazing photos and bringing the most beautiful Earthy light. The mood = perfection. A rooftop session in a sexy little black dress, ummm…yes PLEASE! I could’ve spent the day into the late evening with them and then some being the camera loves them oh, so, much. Ever wonder what it’s like to witness true love? Ever wonder what that spark feels like, or sit and idolize two people that just can’t help but be sincerely “in love”? That’s this couple and I’m so blessed that I got to witness it and be there for them, giving them forever memories.
