Patrick + Renee Engagement

June 15th, 2008 — Honomu, Big Island of Hawaii

Bev and I woke up early this morning for a sweet engagement shoot with Patrick and Renee. They have some beautiful land up in Honomu which Patrick is almost done building their future home. I’m glad they chose to shoot there because the area was so much fun and had great significance to them. We loved that there was so much machinery/hardware laying around.

Patrick and Renee are are just so sweet together.
