The North Shore of Kauai is one of the most otherworldly places we’ve ever explored and and a magical land that keeps drawing us back again and again. We were so thrilled to head there with my whole family to celebrate my parents’ 40 anniversary and just had to commemorate the occasion with a couple’s shoot. Aren’t my parents the cutest?! And the breathtaking views of Hanalei aren’t bad either.
Derek + Elysia // Intimate Anniversary Session at the River
Elysia and I have been scheming about this shoot for a while now. She asked me if there was anything new I was dying to try and the first thing that came to mind was shooting in water. We have no beautiful ocean here in the middle of the country but we sure do have rivers! And rivers at flood stage as it would happen... you can't tell from the photos but that water was bookin! These two amazing sports didn't bat an eye at the current or the millions of bugs or the being soaking wet on the ride home. They're kinda the best and I love them. ;)
