The world can seem so tiny – even more as I’m getting older. Crystal and Ty live about 5 minutes from me in Austin. And I had the great honor of photographing them while they were expecting and then again for their son’s newborn images just before Christmas. And how honored I was when they asked me if I’d photograph their wedding on Maui.

Truthfully, their wedding was what started my homesickness. The more I thought about Maui, the more I missed it and NEEDED Maui.

Their wedding at the Royal Lahaina in Ka’anapali was lovely and heartfelt. I enjoyed seeing them together and playing with their son, Cade, who is the cutest little man! Everyone in attendance was so much fun to be around.

I heard from Crystal yesterday that her father had passed away (pictured in the top set of images). My heartfelt condolences and prayers are going out to her entire family.
