So this secluded forest location has been on our mind for quite some time now, and bringing an adventurous couple there to capture some mystical, fairy-tale-esque shots by the waterfall. Usually our shoots start with a 'getting warmed up' set of poses, but these lovebirds needed zero direction or warming up to the camera before they got lost in each others arms. Every so often, they would giggle as I continued to capture those beautiful candid moments. The golden light of the late afternoon filtered through the thick canopy of the trees to create a magical, ethereal mood on the mossy rocks.

Once the light had dipped a bit further in the sky, we trekked back our of the woods for a drive up North. We met the parents to be at a stunning cove on the North Shore of O'ahu for a cooling dip just as the sun dipped in the sky.
