Kauai Hawaii with Brook and Joe!

Holy Cow! This place is AMAZING!

Joe and Nick have a long history of photography together. For those of you who don’t know, Joe photographed Nick and Maddy’s wedding 10 years ago in Austria. Since spending 2 weeks together in Austria and Germany for the wedding, Joe and Nick have been best friends. They ended up shooting for the same wedding photography company in Detroit and then, after both moving to Anchorage, Nick shot for Joe’s company (Chugach Peaks Photography). Along the way, Nick ended up shooting Brook and Joe’s wedding in Homer, Alaska (definitely one of the coolest wedding locations ever). Now that Nick is back in the “lower 48,” Nick and Maddy have Blue Bend Photography and the four of them have to travel to hang out – since Joe refuses to ever leave Alaska

The four of us love outdoors stuff and decided to tackle the Kalalau Trail in Kauai. It traverses the North Shore (Nepali Coast) of Kauai 12 miles from the end of the nearest road. It’s pretty rough terrain, but totally worth it. It is, by far, the most incredible scenery we’ve ever seen. Because it’s only accessible by foot and is a pretty long hike, the beach is pretty much your own when you get there. In one of the photos you can see our camp site in the bottom of the photo.

After the hike we rented a house in Hanalei and hung out for the week, soaking in sun and good company.

All these photos are either Joe’s or Nick’s. Some of them we’re not sure who’s is who’s… so we’re throwing them all in together and posting them on both our blogs. Hope you enjoy!
