THESE TWO are the reason Levi is here; we’re convinced of this.

Amy and Jamie are the life-of-the-party types, always generously ensuring that there’s a drink in your hand, even if means throwing another round on their own tab. Shaun and I were the recipients of their enthusiasm on one particular Thursday evening after we wrapped their engagement session. We all walked over to Cedars Social for a round of drinks that turned into a few rounds of them drinking us under the table and a few sloppy iPhone photos for proof. Well, you all know what kind of hubba-hubba happens next, just real talk here. Fast forward about eight weeks and SURPRISE!

Since Shaun and I had no plans to have kids, we were shocked and, quite frankly, devastated for a couple weeks. But once we got over ourselves, and now that a year later, our Levi (AKA Our Pure Joy, Our Heart, and The-Best-Thing-That’s-Ever-Happened-To-Us-Besides-Each-Other) is here, we’re indebted to Amy and Jamie for getting us drunk and essentially making us whoopsie parents. But the joke’s on them cuz they got pregnant on their honeymoon…na-na na-na boo-boo!

Anyhow, here they are getting married in enthusiastic style in a luxury destination wedding on Maui. It’s beautiful, and they’re beautiful, and we hope you enjoy it! This one includes a whale-watching excursion for guests the day before the wedding, ooh aah!

The majority of people we shoot have never had a professional portrait session and are a little nervous at first. But Kristen...my word. She popped that hip, threw back those shoulders, smoldered at the camera, and knocked our socks off. This one's freakin' FUN. We love a woman who loves herself in a wedding dress. It's a magical thing!

Congratulations to you, Kristen and Martin! You made it.

-Leo Tolstoy

This couple easily wins the award for most frequent head-back-mouth-open laughs, which coincidentally, have become my favorite mannerism to photograph. Check out the two happiest people, and fair warning that you may find your cheeks burning delightfully from prolonged smiling. Thank you Junebug Weddings for the feature, and thank you so very much to Kristin Mullen for your top-notch event work and to all the vendors who made this one sublime.
