Candice & Ryan's pre-wedding shoot

I think every photographer awaits that opportunity to unleash.  I feel like this was just my beginning!  I've been waiting for the chance to take advantage of Hawaii's beauty mixed with a beautiful couple, almost the whole year, and God provides.  Of course, Candice & Ryan were so fantastic to ask me if I could do another shoot with them after their engagement pictures.  I was delightfully surprised, though after putting Ryan to bed on the drive home after their eSession what a trooper getting back on the horse for some more pictures.  But this time they were going to be in their wedding attire around the island, instead of just on the wedding day.  So I gladly jumped at the chance and accepted, I mean come on it's Hawaii... who wouldn't!?!  I tell you when I came down to meet them in the parking lot of my apartment and saw Candice in her wedding dress, my heart swelled with excitement and happiness, and Ryan what a stud!  Here are just a few of my favorite pictures of our beautiful pre-wedding session around the island of Oahu!  This couple made my job all the more wonderful.  I love when my couples become my friends and I hope they know that.  Love you guys! :)  Enjoy!

You know me, gotta pull the fashion switch ;)

The wind was almost ridiculous while we were doing this shoot but obviously God thought it was just right. :D

Thanks so much to my friend Joshua with Fisheye Studio for the suggestion of this rock wall.  I think it came out beautifully!

The texture of these rocks were amazing.

Whispering sweet nothings... I'm such a sap ;)

True love is displayed in the pursuit of the kiss and the glimmer of the eyes ;)

I love these two because I feel like they're staring out into the unknown but they're ready to face it together and with God's love.

And there they go walking together hand in hand ready to start their life as husband and wife ;D
