Meet Nicky + Hunter! They are so fun to be around and even easier to photograph! Wow the chemistry between them is hot!  They totally brought it to their engagement session.  And I brought the pretty light.  Uh-huh, I made that happen.

When I heard this wedding was going to have a the theme from the Disney movie Up – I was stoked to see the photos!  Ana, Darrell, Brenda & her crew from Swann Soirees did not disappoint!  Such a lovely, colorful day!  I adore the different colored shoes on the girls and that bouquet – OMG!  Swoon!

This wedding has also been featured on Ceremony Magazine’s blog!  Awesome!

You know it’s going to be a fun session when you walk up and the groom offers you a Jack & Coke! We had a blast roaming all over Laguna Beach and then catching the last bit of sunset at the Montage Resort! Such a fun time with these two, can’t wait til their September wedding!

I’m not a morning person.  But at least when I do wake up, I have amazing scenery, a lovey couple and great light!  Robin + Nathan were totally up for my crazy idea for a sunrise session in Lahaina!  And getting all the way in the water – for sure!  Love these two!

I’m still playing catch up with blogs and am so stoked to share this wedding on Robin + Nathan!  One part of the day I remember well was how warm it was!  Robin totally rocked it our in her super heavy dress – and didn’t complain at all!  She was too busy taking in and enjoying every moment of the day.  Another highlight for me was watching Cherise from The Perfect Maui Wedding‘s daughters dance a beautiful hula!   Oh and the fact I wanted to steal Robin’s adorable Nine West heels!

Oh and I feel compelled to add…Canadians are seriously the nicest most apologetic group I’ve ever met.  😉
