Engagements

Fun fact – I lived in Hawaii for three years! This is hands down one of my favorite sessions from my time there. We got together at sunrise the most gorgeous location in Oahu, Hawaii for Nate & Tori’s beach engagement session.

Nate & Tori are an amazing couple. They are both medical professionals, had both been in the military prior/currently, and are just all around amazing full-of-life people.

They brought their sweet dog, weren’t afraid to play in the ocean, and fun fact – I even got stung by a jelly fish while at this session – ouch! It was totally worth it though to capture this for them. And because Nate was a prior EMT, he gave me some pointers on the sting afterward too.

Nate & Tori’s Beach Engagement Session

Tori’s ring was nothing short of amazing. I’ve never seen a ring set like hers before.

Nate found a crab and was showing it to Tori, which made her crack up. Here for it.

A few months later, I got to travel with them for their wedding in Portland, Oregon. See their whole beautiful wedding day in this post.
