Hanbok Dress in Hawaii | Sunny + Bryan

Engagement

This engagement session had the perfect balance of modern and traditional vibes. The soon-to-be-bride, Sunny, wore a beautiful traditional Korean dress called a hanbok. She looked so lovely in it, especially standing out on the sandy beach as the breeze gently blew the long skirt behind her. Very bridal. And I love that she incorporated a piece of her culture that is important to her, and I think they will both treasure looking back at these photos over the years. These are the kinds of portraits that transcend time and go from save the dates to family heirlooms throughout their journey in marriage. These pictures mark the first chapter in their love story.

about this sweet couple

Sunny and Bryan are getting married in Hawaii in October, and I am so excited for them! I’ll be counting down until their big day – and I know they will be, too!They currently reside in California with their two cute dogs.They are both passionate about food and dogs (two of the greatest joys in life!), so we were able to talk about them during the whole shoot. I could definitely relate! I really enjoyed chatting and getting to know them. The shoot seemed to go by in the blink of an eye and left me feeling even more excited for their wedding day. These two are meant to be!

Their session was sweet, romantic, and laid-back. I took them out to a less-crowded, breathtaking beach lined with steep lava rock. The day was overcast, but it lent itself to a unique and striking look. They leisurely explored the beach and even climbed some of the rock structures as I snapped away. Their posed portraits are stunning, but I really loved capturing their closeness in the more candid moments.

Congrats on your engagement, Sunny and Bryan! I truly loved spending time together during your session. Looking forward to October!

WHY we're the perfect match

WE ARE SOULMATES

Here's how I know:

I love fashion, you love fashion. Our sense of style is anything that isn't trendy. We see the world in art and architecture and just enough action to keep things interesting. I love Rodin and Monet and Klimt, and afternoons wandering in the gallery (here or in Paris or anywhere) with artists who inspire me. I want to bring it into my home--whether I'm making it or buying it.

You want your own home to be filled with the art that inspires you. I want to inspire you with the art that I make. I love real moments, and you are living them. We both think that sharing them with our favorite people is the most perfect way to hold onto them forever.

Happiness is what we're living right now, not in the past, not in the future--and we're both here because we celebrate that.

BelLezza by Alice

Live in the moments you'll never forget.

Having portraits made by a true artist is not just an investment in your future legacy.

It’s an empowering experience. It’s an adventure. It’s the ultimate gift to give yourself. I believe in unbridled love, beauty, and family. If you do too, let’s set up an experience you’ll never forget.
