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!
