She reached out asking if they could go to Jurassic Park and then find a place to cliff jump at – I said “yes, please” haha. We ended up at Kualoa Ranch in front of Chinaman’s Hat and then jumped off at Laie Point. Dom was shaking and thinking a little too long, but eventually Pat convinced her to just go for it 🙂 They’re gonna make a great team! Congrats you two, so excited for you to tie the knot next October on Long Island 🙂
Katie & Marcus had been together for 5 years, so they came to their favorite place in Hawaii, Kualoa Ranch! Also known as Jurassic Park, this iconic mountain range is probably some of the most gorgeous backdrops in all of the Koolau Mountains 🙂
Bianca & Dustin made their first trip to Hawaii for an engagement session and to hopefully find a place for a destination wedding to celebrate with their closest friends and family 🙂 We started near Waiahole Poi Factory where the water is a deep brown-red and you get the full view of Kualoa Ranch & Chinaman’s Hat!
Her mom cried frequently, her nephew wrote “I like you. – Tom” on their welcome block, it started raining during their first dance and they shrugged it off, they kissed a pig and made all the little boys cover their mouths, and they – along with all their guests – took a boat across Molii Pond to Secret Island to share their vows in front of Kaneohe Sandbar and Chinaman’s Hat.

They were a little shy, but also very cute with one another so they just stayed close and giggled throughout (and Dave gave the occasional butt grab to loosen things up – see below!)
Grateful for nature, grateful for a Father who cares about every little detail in his kids lives and hearts.
Chris’s aunt was one their biggest supporters throughout their relationship so it was important for them to have her as a central part of their day as their officiant.
In a world that’s increasingly about protecting an image and saving face, this kind of easygoing authenticity is a breath of fresh air.
