Ashton and Angelene’s Big Island couples portraits were basically the visual equivalent of that feeling you get when you’re in love and the setting is on point. Which, let’s be honest, is the most powerful combo of all.
The sky stretched out in shades of soft lavender and peach, casting a dreamy glow over everything, while the ocean rushed onto the lava rocks. And there they were: Ashton with his carefree curls and sun-kissed charm, and Angelene in a flowy dress that brought the aloha vibes. Every moment felt like a scene from the ultimate beachside love story.
They laughed. They splashed. And they slow-danced in the shallows like no one was watching (spoiler: we definitely were, with a camera). And they didn’t just pose, they played. Which, of course, is why the photos feel alive. And real. And ridiculously romantic!
Our Big Island couples portrait session caught everything: the sweet forehead kisses, the piggyback rides, the casual strolls that somehow looked like editorial fashion campaigns. And rain? What rain! Even the slightly wild waves got in on the action, offering a little drama to the softness of their chemistry.
There’s something about couples like Ashton and Angelene, something you can’t quite stage or direct. It’s in the way they look at each other. It’s in the “best day ever” energy that lingers long after the last shutter click.
Ashton and Angelene, thank you for being effortlessly cool, head-over-heels in love, and an absolute joy to photograph. You guys made our job so easy, and we’re ready for round two! We hope you love these portraits as much as we do! Mahalo to you both!
