Maui, Hawaii

When you love your wedding dress SO MUCH that you take it on your honeymoon!!! :)
Christina’s dress was made and designed by Made with Love Bridal. They are an Austrian based company and work with clients worldwide. I’m obsessed with how comfortable this dress is for Christina and it fits her like a glove. And she literally rolled it up in a suitcase and look at how great it looks on her! Just amazing. I love this girl so much.

you are like a cloud
and your form
and color
are the way
I love them.”

First time meeting Tana and here we are in this magical place and I got to document her in this wonderful time of her life. Stunning images that will be etched in my head forever.

When editing is as much fun as shooting. Sometimes I don’t understand the concept of showing the client all their unedited photos because how is it possible for them understand the vision in the photographer’s head? The finished photo can go in so many directions. I enjoy this one.
