Dyllan + Kayla = Okinawa LOVE - Okinawa Couples Photographer

There is a great story behind this amazing couple shoot...

So, I was contacted by Dyllan's Mum in Florida before Christmas. She wanted to buy my iOkinawa 12x12 coffee table book for her DIL, Kayla, who apparently has been a fan of my work for a long time! So honoured to hear that :) So, we arranged all that and I met up with Dyllan to give him the book and then he booked a photo session with me as an extra Christmas surprise... 

Now, the weather had been pretty dodgy (Jan) and this day was pretty grey and a 'shall we reschedule or not' kind of day. My rule of thumb is pretty much if it isn't raining and/or super windy, we're good to go...I check the satellite and it's on! (Like Donkey Kong LOL)

Because I feel like I've been in Okinawa long enough to know that the sea still produces the most amazing colours even when it looks like death out LOL

and, of course, when we got to Gala, it proved itself! I breathed a sigh of relief that 'every little things gonna be alright' on this shoot!

and it was beyond alright!

It's a different kind of vibe when it's dull out but I love how the colours work even if you don't get a 'typical' sunset...and of course, I love clouds anyway

Feeling this in BW too...

These two were BRILLIANT on the shoot, I couldn't have asked for a more fun and nice couple. Oki All Day!

The castle in the sea...

So much LOVE!

And Kayla is in my fav colour!

{Right before} The Kiss...LOVE

OKI ALL DAY!!! YEAHHHHHHH!!!

Dyllan and Kayla, you rocked it and I am so happy to have met you both and shot your images. Special shout out to Mum Jonna for contacting me and arranging all this! What a cool MIL! Hope you LOVED the rainbow postcard. Namaste :)

I do enjoy shooting dogs! And I must look and sound like a complete fool whilst doing so, but if I get the shot then I don't care :)

Everyone loves the cave and rightly so!

One of my favs to do! On top of the world!

Red silhouette love

I love this one of Dawn!

Goodnight Okinawa! Thank you Cole Family for trusting me to be your photographer and glad we finally got the shoot done!

Another family shoot at the Gala

With some high energy girls chasing bubbles, I love this 'off-shoot'

Hear me roar!

Even though it was quite drizzly, the Oki seas still shone through!

LOVE

The girls had fun playing in the rain on the beach. I was hoping to see a rainbow, but that didn't happen!

However, we got a BRILLIANT sunset silhouette x

Thank you Francis Family x

A Life Story - Okinawa Maternity and Birth Photographer

A family of 3 about to become 4! 

I LOVE a maternity silhouette...esp. in BW

Only son is about to become a big bruv

He's all smiles!

Esp. when getting swung!

Roxanne needed to cool off from Oki's crazy humidity heat and she looked gorgeous doing so!

Sunset was fantastic that night too

Danica + Max - Okinawa Couples Photographer

It's been a while since I did this shoot and I can finally post the images of Danica and Max! Yippee!

The shoot was for a 'save the date'

These two are so cute! I told them they reminded me of a brand, they flowed so well together! Even their names could be a brand! Danica + Max!

 LOVE IS...rain in the middle of the shoot!

A Black and White image...

 ...a cool angle shot!

 And even though it was so gloomy, it made for some gorgeous light and writings in the sand!

LOVE

 The Oki sea colours still shone through for them. I actually love the light on days like this!

These two were up for anything for the shot! Which makes for great photographer/client energy!

A close up...Love and Laughter!

Danica and Max, I wish you all the happiness in the world, thank you for choosing me to photograph your 'save the date' xxxxxxxx
Hopefully, I can do some shoots like this when I move to San Diego next year!
