I always leave Trash the Dress sessions feeling a little bit guilty… like I’ve contributed to the delinquency of a bride. But the truth is, there really is no better way to celebrate your dress than trashing it. Otherwise, it will just sit in a box that you’re too afraid to open because you don’t know what the three years in your in-laws basement have done to it. I wonder if I’ll ever work up the courage to open that box?…
Ah… to be young and require no editing at all. She’s not technically a Senior, so this wasn’t really a Maui Senior Photo Session. It was more like an “I’m sorry I took you to hot yoga where you busted your knee and then had to gimp around for the rest of your Maui vacation and I’m sorry I made you ride a jazzy at Costco” photo session. I’m beginning to understand why we’ve had dwindling numbers of visitors over the years…
So here she is. My niece. In a beautiful, simple session that really just showcases her natural beauty. Makeup by Dacia Waller of Spa Lotus.

Anyone who’s ever tried to do anything cool and vintage on Maui knows… its bloody expensive and super frustrating to find anything unique and vintage. Unless you want rattan pineapples… uh… no thank you.
Enter Opihi Love. Quite literally, an answer to the many prayers I’ve put out there for cool, vintage props and furniture on Maui. And they are now OPEN FOR BUSINESS! Cause I just made them a new website. If you’re looking for any cool, unique, or genuine vintage items for your Maui wedding or photo shoot, you MUST check her out. Keep in mind, we’re just getting her inventory photographed and up on the site so there’s not much up… but I just visited her store room yesterday and I’m like giddy and already scheming on how I can use some of her truly awesome stuff. There’s a TON of it.
Oh, and if you’re looking for something random for your Maui wedding or stylized shoot and don’t know where to find it… CALL HER. She’s got a crazy gift for finding treasures… true treasures…
Go. Now. Seriously. www.OpihiLove.com. I’d personally LOVE to be the first to use all of her sweet stuff in shoots… so… I’ll race ya!

Things I love about Kauai? Pretty much everything. Except their health food stores leave much to be desired and though the latte’s are pretty… they’re not nearly strong enough. Needs me my Starbucks chemicals!!
Kristen and Paul had a lovely small wedding at Plantation Gardens in Poipu, Kauai. I love elopements and small weddings. Everything is so personal and you really get to know the bride and groom. These two did it right and I wish them many, many years of happiness together! Here’s some favs from this awesome Kauai wedding…

Working on another website for yet ANOTHER awesome up and comer. NoSh, North Shore Maui Bakery. Really, all I have to say is yum… Here’s just a small tasting of what they have in store for us. Keep an eye out for their new website coming very soon!
A big thanks to Bella Grace Flowers and Opihi Love for lending their flowers, props and styling to the shoot! And to The Haiku Mill for lending such an amazing backdrop! Collaboration made so sweet.
