Mammoth mountain holds a special place in my heart because everywhere you look is beautiful no matter what the season. Morgan and Andres were visiting mammoth and decided a fun wintery photo session would be a great way to remember their trip. I also had the opportunity to do a really beautiful smokey/silvery makeup look on Morgan to go with the theme of the shoot. I loved how she mixed her black leather jacket with a beautiful lavender colored dress; it really fit the the whole vibe of the wintery shoot. When we headed over the the lake I was a little worried the weather would be too stormy but we lucked out and had a soft dusting of snow that made each shot feel like a beautiful winter wonderland. These two were so adorable and I loved how they were willing to endure the cold temperatures and still have a good time. See below for a snowy mountain photoshoot that still gives me chills!
Tropical Hawaiian Wedding at Haiku Mill
Maui offers numerous stunning views of high mountains and white sandy beaches that it's hard to find even one spot on this island that doesn't take your breath away. Haiku Mill is a gorgeous wedding venue tucked in the hills of Maui. This venue just drips with an old time charm and Hawaiian tropical vibes. With the hanging vines and flowers that naturally cover the venue it looks almost unworldly. I have heard weddings that purposefully install flowers to drip from the ceilings in a similar fashion and it costs thousands of dollars to do so. This venue is so special because it offers this beautiful atmosphere in such an organic way. And what is a wedding in Hawaii if you don't take some photos on the beach as well?! For the last hour of sunlight we took some really fun photos on the beach and I was so happy that this fun couple wasn't afraid to get a little dirty! See below for a really fun Hawaiian inspired wedding!
