Not every couple dreams of doing engagement photos—but when these two lovebirds realized they might regret not capturing this moment, they decided to do it their way: casual, candid, and completely themselves.
As a Maui photographer specializing in candid couples, engagement, elopement, and wedding photography, I was honored to document their love story—exactly how it feels: real, playful, and full of connection.
After four years together, this couple got engaged in February and decided to combine their love of travel with a spontaneous engagement shoot during their trip to Maui.
She’s 37, he’s 40.
They play softball together.
They travel often.
And they weren’t sure they were “photo people”… until now.
They confessed that they’ve never really had a “good picture” of themselves—so they were nervous but excited. And guess what? That nervous energy quickly turned into pure magic.
📍 Location: Ironwoods beach at golden hour
🌊 Vibes: Adventurous but laid-back
🏝️ Must-haves: Fun and flirty moments
📸 Style: Fun, candid, natural, and light-hearted
From the start, the goal was to make the shoot feel like a fun date night, not a stiff or overly posed session. Their chemistry made my job easy—and the results speak for themselves. They requested mostly fun and flirty moments, with a few romantic photos sprinkled in—and that's exactly what we created. The focus was on real laughs, authentic connection, and photos that don’t feel forced.
If you’re someone who thinks “we’re not picture people”, this session proves that you don’t have to be a model or a professional to get amazing, heartfelt photos. All you need is a photographer who knows how to guide you, make you laugh, and capture what’s already there.
As a Maui engagement photographer, I specialize in making people feel comfortable, even if it’s your first professional photoshoot. My goal is always to make it feel like you’re just hanging out—with a camera nearby.
Let’s document your love story in a way that feels true to you. Whether you're celebrating a proposal, a honeymoon, or just your everyday magic, you deserve photos that reflect the connection you share.
