Maui residents James and Marli spend more time than most people around the water. James is a scuba instructor, and Marli simply loves being outdoors in the sun and surf. But for their engagement photos, they opted to step out of their daily routine to explore Maui’s inland beauty. When they contacted lensman Bill Geoghegan about doing a shoot somewhere along the Hana Highway he was doubly excited—both for the adventure and for the fun of working with this friendly, easygoing couple. Together they zeroed in on Twin Falls as the perfect spot to relax with the camera.

A popular patch of jungle, Twin Falls seems to have been created to indulge photographers. Trails winding through the property pass through a sublime landscape of tropical foliage: palms, banana trees, ti leaf and ginger plants, guava and immense stands of bamboo that lead to tumbling waterfalls. Along every path are picture-perfect spots. According to Bill, “Once we got started with the engagement session it was hard to stop. Before we left we had spent several happy hours taking pictures and exploring.”
