Shanti + Pablo Engagement

March 19th, 2008 — Kona Side, Big Island of Hawaii

You know it’s going to be a wonderful engagement session when the first thing the bride-to-be does is borrow a stranger’s board and paddles out into the sunset, having her fiance swim out to her! These two are one of the coolest couples ever and soooo much fun!!!
