Tricia + Erik | Engagement Photography | Honolulu, Hawaii

While I was home visiting for the holidays in Hawaii, I happened to schedule 4 shoots. This was the first engagement session with Tricia and Erik, who will be getting married this May at Central Union Church in Honolulu. There was lots of rain and thunderstorms in Hawaii and I’m not talking about little sprinkles either. It was POURING! The big storm was passing through the islands, so we changed our original location and shot this engagement session at Ala Moana Shopping Center. This would give us insurance of coverage, in case mother nature decided to bless us with her tears.

Luckily, there was no rain, but we did manage to get some adorable shots of this cute couple! Take a peek below…

Julia & Tom -Engagement

Lawyer meets Fashion Designer…two different worlds, but together they are perfect. Julia decided to have their engagement photography done at the modern Viceroy Hotel in Santa Monica, CA. After all, she is a trendy Fashion Designer and this hotel is pretty darn snazzy.

I know Julia was thinking about the furniture and look of the hotel when she picked it for her engagement shoot, but Tom is a huge Boston Celtic fan and some of the main colors are green and white…perfect for a die hard Celtic Fan. See, this is what I mean when I say “together they are perfect”. These two have been dating for 8 years and decided to finally make it official and get married this September. They are relatively new to the LA scene,as they recently moved here for New York, but these two seem like they were made for LA. Seriously, these two have become popular socialites in the short time they’ve been here. We did a quick session around the hotel and got to know more about each other. Right after our photo shoot, we headed to the bar, chatted, shared stories and laughter. It’s so great to shoot such awesome people. Thanks Julia and Tom for the apple martini..it was yummy!

Jessica and Luis – Engagement

They both wanted to venture to downtown Los Angeles and shoot their engagement photos there since they both love the feel and history of the station. In fact, before graduating from USC in Print Journalism, Jessica used to travel via train to UC Riverside for her undergrad studies, so there was a little history there! It’s always great to shoot at the famous Los Angeles Union Station! We ventured around the station and got some great photographs of the two just being themselves. It was rather hot that day, so we tried our best to stay indoors!

Both will be getting married this October, so stay tuned for the wedding pics.
