A + E “ENGAGED”!

Abiade and Ernie were another lucky couple and winners of my Free Engagement Session give-away! I have enjoyed getting to know this fun and very fashionable couple. J We started out in the park, walking along talking, and having fun. We then had a change in venue and went indoors to one of my favorite movie theaters in Redmond Town Center called IPic Theaters.

Now a little bit about the couple:
Abiade is from Nigeria and Erie is from the Caribbean and together they make a great cultural mix. They met in college; however, they did not attend the same college. They both attended an event in Oklahoma, which was due to pure luck and a miracle wrapped up all in one. Ernie says that because it was an event they both did not want to attend, but were roped into. When they met, it was uncanny because they had some really interesting things in common and it started what is now an absolutely beautiful union 8 years later! They both enjoy traveling to new places, trying new ethnically cultural cuisines, having movie date nights, and engaging in fun outdoor activities together.

MAUI Destination Wedding / Family Beach – Part 1!

ALOHA! I am so excited to post and share these photos from 4 days in MAUI! Yes, I LOVE shooting destination weddings, but this one was extra special. So special that I am breaking it up in different posts as there are so many photos I want to share. Now about Maui….. I am seriously in love with everything about it. Not only were we truly in paradise but I had one of the most amazing, funny, down to earth bride and grooms, and truly a couple that I just adore! So to start this series off I am going to start with my brides’ family shoots on the beach to get us in that “aloha” mood….
Now a little about my couple’s family:
Christy, my bride, and her sister, decided to give their parents’ an extra special 42nd wedding anniversary gift; a family photo shoot on the beach with their entire family, a family that also grew by one within the last month.  Karen and Nate have been married for almost nine years; and Christy and Marty were just married in July. The last time they had a family photo taken was over twenty years ago. (Boy how the hairstyles have changed since then!) Christy and her sister felt that this would be a great memory for all of us to have and hopefully they will continue this tradition every year going forward. Pictures are truly priceless!
There were lots of laughs and shout outs while taking the photos and they even stayed reasonably dry from the ocean even with the strong current.  We all enjoyed our time together in front of the condo where they were staying.  Just another beautiful day in paradise!
Now a few of my favs:

And, keep an eye out as there are a ton of more pictures to come….wedding, sunset shoot, trash your dress, and just fun in the sun photos of my view of true paradise. I already cannot wait to go back!
Mahalo!
