Alright... slightly obsessing over this steamy couples adventure session. You know what they say, the work is worth the reward??? Which could not be further from the truth... if you only knew the obstacles we endured hahaha. Read more below!
These two humans, (Brooklyn + Benson) are the cutest husband and wife duo and I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to meet them and take these images!
The Adventure...
Okay, photos can be so misleading.. they look perfect and what not, but leading up to these images being taken was quite the adventure. I remember Brooklyn telling me that she wanted to do 1 hike a month. Ask and you shall receive... hahaha.
We decided to hike up to the Makapuu Lighthouse in Oahu. Once at the top you are surrounded by stunning views with blue waters, cliffs, mountains, and the lighthouse itself. Add these two to the mix and wow....!
What we didn't realize was the horrible traffic Brooklyn and Benson would get caught in. Which made so we were losing light and had to work fast. I got to the top first (a 35 minute or so walk literally up hill), and was waiting on them. Finally up comes Brooklyn literally running because she felt so bad. Shortly followed by her hubby. Did I mention how hot it was too?! Such champs!
They ended up changing in the bushes because they didn't want to run up in their outfits and get all sweaty. But PHEW... we all had made it! It was finally time to take the images.
No one warns you about the possibility of horrific wind when you're on the top of a cliff... hahaha! Brooklyns hair was flying all over the place but it looked so majestic and went perfectly with the scene. But can you imagine how you would feel trying to manage (beautiful) hair flying everywhere, as well as a dress that was trying to flash everyone in sight?! Poor girl!
But wait, there's more. The adventure wasn't done yet... The images were already stunning especially for taking them in literally 10 minutes. It was now time for part two!
Hiking Down...
The second half of the session was on our way down. Instead of taking the path you literally hike down the edge of a cliff into the secret tide pools. We were going to get some images of them swimming in the beautiful natural pools. Yet, time was a ticking! Trying to manage light, and safely get down the cliff was a challenge. It is not an easy hike down and can be quite dangerous in the dark. These two were seriously up for an adventure and had the absolute best attitude! Honestly it was such a fun time running around on adrenaline all to get the perfect shots.
We finally made it down to the pools to take literally 2 minutes worth of images before it was too dark. SO WORTH IT THOUGH! Then back up the cliff we went in the dark climbing away.
Looking back it was probably not the smartest idea but it sure made for the best story and the best memories. Can't wait to share a few of the images with you below!
TALK ABOUT CHEMISTRY!!!
