they danced in the waves under the pink skies. It felt like I was just third wheeling them the whole time (in the BEST way). They could be themselves and certainly didn’t let the camera make them shy. They were just TOGETHER and enjoying life, regardless of me.

Whenever a couple reaches out with zero plan and an open, wild heart, I get super giddy inside. They had a dream of eloping with just their closest people and have an adventure-filled day. We planned the day around their favorite things about the island.

So, sometimes taking photos at sunrise is actually the best for photos! Not only is the beach empty, but the morning sun is absolutely stunning for pictures. That golden hour glow!!! It’s always fun to grab coffee or breakfast together after photo shoots to celebrate too.

Ashley + Kyle are probably the coolest couples I’ve ever met. Haha and I mean that! Check it out: neon wigs, fur coats, glasses, dog, DJ table…

Remember your engagement sesh & your wedding are YOURS. That means let’s do something that represents you. Authenticity, fun, adventure, and love… that’s what it’s all about.

Besides being super talented creatives, they’re the sweetest, most fun and authentic couple ever! I love their energy and love for one another. Any couple that is all about trying new adventures, having fun, laughing a lot, and is wildly in love with each other… yeah, those are my people.

Tip for couples taking their pics:

Wear outfits that catch movement — long dresses and hair flowing in the wind are what Vivian chose, and it SLAYED. Anything that is comfy and can provide movement and fun makes your photos even more stunning!!!

Bring a fun prop! In this case, epic smoke bombs will do. SCROLL DOWN to see!!
