Nesting Beauties ~ A stylized shoot

As a photographer, I love stylized shoots because they allow me to try new ideas, new locations, and surround myself with other creative people to bring a vision to life. The Hui No'eau Visual Arts Center here on Maui has amazingly cool grounds, and I've been wanting to shoot up there for a while. There's an incredible outdoor stick structure (created by world-renowned artist Patrick Dougherty), who used strawberry guava, eucalyptus and white ash to create these giant nest-like structures, which give an earthy and organic feel that we wanted to capture.A big thank you to the creative team: Jes Akin, Della, Jessica Waite, Bethany at Tamara Catz, Pi'i, Sam and Michelle!Location: Hui No'eau Visual Art Center, MauiWedding Gowns: Tamara CatzHair & Makeup: Jessica WaiteFloral Design: Della of DellablesModels: Piikea Karlen, Sam Young, MIchelle Bailie
