Things that take my breathe away: magnificent views, unmatched connection between two people and most importantly freshly handmade mochi!

Marisa and Micah, a couple from Oahu, traveled to the Big Island of Hawaii for their engagement photos at the stunning black sand beaches.

Trekking down to Kehena Beach wasn't an easy feat. We encountered a steep descent, but once you carefully navigate down, you're rewarded with breathtaking views, roaring waves, and unbelievably soft, black sand. The entire photoshoot felt like a dance, with Marisa and Micah moving gracefully with the waves. They spent the whole shoot dodging the waves, embracing each other, not minding the occasional kiss from the white crescent of the waves.

We concluded our shoot at a quaint cliffside, enjoying fresh mochi from Two Ladies Kitchen in Hilo, Hawaii.
