WHAT TO EXPECT:

Six beautifully curated styled shoots on three islands (Kauai, Maui, Oahu) plus two bonus photo shoots (nighttime and underwater). These shoots will include three couples sessions (engagement session, elegant couples session, and a relaxed/cinematic couples session), two elopements (volcano and mountain top), one bonus nighttime session with lanterns, sailboat wedding portraits, and a bonus underwater session! If you decide not to do the underwater session you are free to snorkel and enjoy the fish and sea turtles!
