Maui, HI: Lauren & Justin – Part I

Aloha!  And happy Monday evening!  I have a special treat for the evening crew… You’ve heard us brag about it, you’ve seen my profile picture, you’ve read the Twitter updates, now see the real deal that brought us to Maui, Hawaii last month.

Lauren and Justin are one of those couples who are….well, for lack of a better word: perfect.   Sometimes words can’t really express what I think.  And especially not today.  Just know, they’re more beautiful on the inside than these images of Hawaii. They welcomed me and Jesie with open arms.  We both definitely feel like family – especially after photographing Lauren’s brother’s wedding last May. And not just with Lauren and Justin, we feel like family with everyone on that guest list.  Destination weddings have a way of doing that to a photographer.

It was the most perfect day.  Lauren looked simply angelic and Justin, well, his expression says it all.  Wait till you see his reaction to his beautiful bride walking down the isle.

L&J, words just can’t express how much you two mean to me.  I think you know it, though.

So much love to you,
René + Jesie

Jesie was pretty much rocking it all day with these shots of the area:

Love this shot that Jes grabbed of Lauren.  The colors, the composition… perfecto!

 Now just you get ready for some of the most gorgeous getting ready shots you’ll ever see in your life time.  Are you ready?  Sure?

Lauren, you’re an angel.

 Meanwhile, Jes was with the guys.  And the guys were with baseball….

I love a big finish!

Times two!

As always, don’t miss part II! And leave these two some love below. :-)
