A little east-side Oahu magic for T & K 🤍🌿

Ocean views, lush mountains, dreamy florals, a beautiful gown, and that beautiful sun that makes everything feel a little more magical. ✨

There’s something about Kualoa that feels so effortlessly romantic. Add these two, all the beautiful details, and you have a pretty unforgettable day. 🤍

Okay… why did I photograph SEVEN proposals this month?! 💍🌺

Apparently September has a little something going on…

For years, Google reported that September was the peak month for searches about marriage proposals in the U.S.👀

And while December is actually the most popular month for couples to get engaged, September seems to have its own proposal magic. 🤍

Maybe it’s the end-of-summer feeling.
Maybe it’s people coming home from vacations with big plans.
Maybe it’s just the excuse to finally ask the question they’ve been thinking about for months.

Whatever it is… September has been VERY romantic around here. 😂

I photographed 7 proposals this month, and every single one was completely different.

Different couples.
Different stories.
Different locations.
Different ways of saying “Will you marry me?”

And then there was THIS one… 🥹

These last three photos happened at sunrise. The couple had just finished their proposal when I noticed a group of teenagers watching from the rocks nearby.

And then, right after she said yes…

They started BLASTING “Marry You” by Bruno Mars from their speaker. 😂😭

I swear it looked like they had planned the whole thing.

They hadn’t.

It was just one of those completely unexpected moments that made an already beautiful proposal even more special.

And honestly? Those are the moments I love photographing the most.

The ones you couldn’t have planned even if you tried. 🤍

A & M first found me a year ago for their daughter’s senior photos. This year, they brought me back for something even more special: their vow renewal at Kawela Bay on Oahu’s North Shore.

Surrounded by family, they renewed the promises they made years ago. But the moment that stayed with me was quieter than the vows themselves, two portraits of their mothers, held by their daughters, each wearing a lei that A & M placed on the frames during the ceremony. A way of making sure the people who couldn’t be there still were.

The sky gave us the rest.

Morning stroll with N & A 🚲☕️
What I love most about this session is how much their connection and personality come through. Bonus: they took me on a little tour of Tel Aviv along the way. I feel so lucky that I get to travel and do what I love. 🇮🇱

A beach session in Tel Aviv with the sweetest family. 🤍

The kids had so much fun running around and playing that most of the best moments happened naturally. Add a beautiful sunset, and we really couldn’t have asked for a better evening. 🌅

I loved getting to capture this session while I was in Israel, and I’m excited to be back in Hawaii photographing more families, couples, and all the little moments in between. 🌺

🇮🇹 One more from this beautiful city!
L & M at the Spanish Steps. I loved how natural and connected they were throughout the whole session. ✨
I also found out that L is a dancer, which made so much sense once I saw how naturally she moved in front of the camera. It was such a pleasure capturing these two in Rome. ❤️

🤍🇮🇹 One of my favorite things about photographing in Italy is how effortlessly beautiful everything feels. The streets, the architecture, and of course, the people you get to meet along the way.
A & V were such a beautiful couple to photograph at Fontana di Trevi. Their photos turned out so romantic and natural, and I absolutely loved capturing these moments for them. ✨
Italy, I think I’m already a little obsessed with you. ❤️

Sometimes the sweetest photos happen completely by chance. 🤍✨
I spotted G & M in the middle of the street in Rome, all dressed up and looking like they were ready for a photoshoot, so of course I had to stop and ask if they’d let me take a few photos of them. 😂📸
We started chatting in English, and then I found out they were also from Brazil! 🇧🇷❤️ What a fun surprise.
They were the sweetest couple, and the Pantheon made the most beautiful backdrop for their Rome getaway. 🇮🇹✨
