Rebecca + Anthony were married on 4th of July last year but didn’t get professional photos from their wedding. I was excited when they contacted me for some anniversary photos! It was great hearing their story of how they met (through friends in high school) and how they reconnected years later (random meeting in an airport after they both joined the Navy). We had a blast laughing and hiking to my favorite spots in North County!

Today is the one year anniversary since Yue + Ben got married…and I today is the day I realized I never blogged them! Perfect time to make up for that! I met these two the day before their wedding for a fun trash the dress session. They were ready to get in the water! We started in the pouring rain in the Iao Valley and ended up exploring south Maui all the way down to La Perouse Bay and ending up jumping in the huge waves at Makenna Beach. I had a blast taking these pictures with them and getting soaked myself!

Reyna contacted me a week before she and Rigo tied the knot at the courthouse. I wasn’t available for their ceremony so we opted to meet later in the day for official wedding photos!  They wanted a country feel to their photos so Sweetwater River Bridge was the perfect location!  I had fun hiking and popping champagne with these two!

I posted an Anniversary session a few months back and Jen posted on my Facebook that she loved the idea!  After a little bit of chatting, we realized we would be in Maui at the same time – one year after they got married!  It was fate.  We stopped at some gorgeous spots around the island and celebrated their last year of bliss!

I’ve been a little preoccupied this week with a new man in my life.  My best friend had a baby last Thursday and I am totally smitten.  I’m a little biased but isn’t he the cutest?
