Some love stories are best told barefoot, with sand between your toes and the ocean singing in the background. This celebration at Ironwoods Beach on Maui was just that—wildly beautiful, deeply personal, and full of the kind of magic that only the islands can offer.
Taylor and Liv chose to gather only their closest family and friends. No big crowds, no rush – just the people who mattered most, surrounding them in a soft semicircle as the breeze swept through the trees and sunlight danced on the waves. The cliffs stood quietly in the distance, witnessing something timeless.
As a photographer, I live for days like this: when the setting, the people, and the emotion all blend together seamlessly. There’s something powerful about stripping away everything but what matters most. I documented stolen glances, wind-tousled hair, bare feet in the tide, and the way the sun kissed their shoulders as they promised forever.
This day wasn’t about posing. It was about presence. About local flower bouquets held in salty hands and laughter carried away by the breeze. About a kind of freedom that feels like home.
Ironwoods Beach gave us drama and softness all at once—cliffside views, rolling surf, and that golden light that only Maui can offer. And within that beauty, their love took center stage. Honest, open, and unforgettable.
If you’re dreaming of a wedding that feels like you—unbound, emotional, full of beauty and soul—I’d be honored to capture it. Whether on the shores of Hawaii or nestled deep in the forest, my lens is always ready to follow love wherever it dares to go.
They surprised each other with a book from a boudoir session they each did in secret… both with me. Coordinating that was a load of fun!
