Augusleen and Terone wanted their engagement photos to feel classy, with a playful switch up and I think we nailed it. They decided on the stunning valley and mountains of Kualoa Ranch as their backdrop. I was so happy to be back here, as it’s one of my very favorite wedding venues on Oahu. The whole east side of the island is so special to me, I even have a tattoo of the Ko’olou Mountains. These two have known each other since kindergarten, and their playfulness and love was just infectious! I’m obsessed with the variety of photos we got, and we even had a little bit of rain that they embraced and added that touch of drama. At the end of the session they were even down to hop in the water, and that’s always my favorite way to wrap up a session.

Here’s the sweet review they left for me!

“Moriel is an absolute gem. I’m generally a shy and awkward person but she made my fiancé and I feel so comfortable at our engagement shoot. The chemistry between us all was interactive and playful. Her energy and vibe is out of this world. When scouting for an engagement photographer in Hawai’i, I was blown away by Moriel’s quality of work; meeting her was the icing on the cake! Overall, she is the total package, a true professional, and I promise you will not be disappointed! Thank you Moriel for bringing my vision to life and making our special moment feel warm and welcoming!”
