Julie & Andy are like our weird couple-twins. On so many levels we just "get" each other. There is nothing greater in the world than feeling truly understood by someone. It is my belief that when you find those people that can meet you eye to eye on a deeper-than-surface level you know you have found a friend to hold on to. 

Julie & Andy are the type of people that seek to feed their souls. They dream big, follow their passions and never stop learning. They are what I like to call, three-dimentional, ie. inspiring, interesting and dynamic. We decided to take an adventure with these two for their engagement session and headed up to the mountains. We spent the day together laughing, being goofballs, getting in trouble with the rangers and swatting off the most insane amount of mosquitoes that you could imagine. I think all of us were covered in bites by the end of the day despite our deepest efforts to bathe ourselves in mosquito repellant. It was the type of shoot I live for, minus the mosquitoes :). I could hardly narrow this post down because there was just so many images that took my heart. I wanted to post them all. Julie & Andy have found that other amazing soul out of so many billions that was created exactly for them and that makes me beam with excitement for them. We are so stoked for their wedding on the Big Island of Hawaii in March. Enjoy & Happy Wednesday!

Julie's Hair and Makeup was done by the fab Mrs. Tiffany Lowry *aren't those red lips Julie is sporting just yummmm!? :)

Sarah...I'm sure you and Chris must hear this a lot, but honestly, I have yet to find another photographer that catches the true, raw connection between your couples that the two of you get! Seeing your photos is like taking a peek into somebody's soul. It's truly an art to capture sincere emotion and love the way you do!
