I love clients that are up for anything!  Including trampling through bug-infested woods, sliding down cliffs to find secluded beaches and climbing over lava rocks!  I adore these two! 

Serina wins the award for most laid back bride.  Of course, she is also the only bride that had a tsunami warning take over the state the night before her wedding!  I was so concerned for her that night and when I checked in with her the next day…she said she wasn’t worried.  She was going to get married no matter what.  Such a great attitude!   Luckily the tsunami was nothing to worry about and their wedding went off without a hitch (largely thanks to their awesome coordinator, Cherise)!  Know what else a tsunami gives us? One amazing sunset!!

When I see Maui in my inbox, my heart flutters.  I love it there. I feel at home there. I’m so fortunate to be there. I was especially excited when Bry told me she and Brian were getting married – I have known Bry for many years – since high school!  Thanks to Facebook we reconnected.  It was a gorgeous day on the island, and even when it started to sprinkle as Bry walked down the aisle – nothing could wipe that beautiful smile off her face! I think she would have married Brian amid a tornado!  She has the most infectious smile and laugh that I’ve seen!  The night ended with an intimate dinner at Merriman’s.

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.  😉
