Tessie + Mateo are living my long surfer hair dreams

but seriously I freaking adore these two in all of their goofiness together & love of their island life. It was such a privilege to be able to capture their love and take some bridals for them! They are the kindest, purest souls who truly live Aloha. Tess models while Mateo is her surf photographer. They spend their days creating content, surfing, and being with their friends and family.

These two grew up on separate islands, met on an island, married on an island, and now live & surf on an island. If that’s not every beach girl’s dream (including my own), I don’t know what is!

When they eloped, they weren’t able to have a photographer present, so now, they have some wedding photos to celebrate their elopement!

Now I’ll go back to swooning over these pictures and all their Maui Instagram inspo. If you’re into beach & island living inspiration, you definitely need to follow them.

Being in warm water and doing stupid stuff is my favorite thing in the whole world. I just wanna splash in the water and be full-on dorks with these two every day.
