Michelle + Phil in Maui: A One Year Meet-aversary

On Friday I had the pleasure of photographing these two love birds at Big Beach in Makena. We took some pictures, chatted a lot, and even had some brews before the sun went down!

Michelle and I met our senior year of high school. She came into our yearbook class as the new girl and she fit right in. I haven't talked to her in nearly ten years! But she truly is just how I remember her being: open-minded, warm, and welcoming. How nice it was to catch up with her! It is amazing how life can sometimes bring things full circle.

Michelle and Phil met (as of September 8) one year ago in Arizona, where she is living now. Funny enough, Phil is a Michigan boy too! They met while she was bartending and the rest is history. They compliment each other so nicely. There were moments of laughter and silliness and moments of tenderness (seriously Phil, you were making my heart melt every time you would gently brush her hair away from her face).

It was so fun taking your one year meet-aversary pictures! And I am so, so glad we got to meet up again before our 10 year class reunion (has it really been that long?). Mahalo nui loa to the both of a you! Aloha and a hui ho!
