What a treat to get a chance to hang out with and photograph alongside the Big Island’s premiere wedding photographer James Rubio! James had a super cool rainforest location to share with us, and connected us with Kanoe, who rocked it out in a bridal gown. Yesterday we hiked down through a tropical forest trail and to the oceanfront near Hilo, Hawaii.

Special thanks goes out to Baba, who was essential in helping Kanoe get around the tricky terrain. Three cheers for rad boyfriends!
