Honeymoon Photoshoot in Fiji

Thanks to Blenda Montoro Photography, my bucket list now includes a bougainvillea crown and a trip to Tavarua. Until this photo shoot, I had never heard of this heart shaped island oasis, but now there's no looking back. This gorgeous couple was lucky enough to have their post-wedding glow captured on this dream of a honeymoon and we're feeling super lucky they decided to share it with all of us right here.

From Blenda Montoro Photography... Rubens, a Brazilian business man and surfer, had been to Tavarua several times before and always loved it's natural beauty, the amazing people, the gorgeous resort, and epic surf. After a spectacular wedding in Brazil, Rubens decided to take his bride, now wife, Melissa to his favorite place in the world Tavarua, for there honeymoon. Tavarua is a small heart shaped island in Fiji that is adored by those who know about it. On this trip I was traveling to Tavarua from the island of Kauai, Hawaii with my husband a surfer and our 4 month old son Mateo. I brought a couple cameras planning to photograph the island and people and hoping to meet a beautiful honeymoon couple like Rubens and Melissa. Being from South America, Melissa and I had an immediate connection once we met. Over the next couple days laying by the pool Melissa and I planned a honeymoon shoot for them which they could share with there friends and family back home in Brazil. The photos were so amazing though that we decided we needed to share them with the world.

During the day of the shoot the flower headpiece was made by a couple of the Fijian ladies who worked at the resort. I gave them an idea of what we were looking for, and using flowers from the island they totally exceeded our expectations. We took photos on the Western part of the island because we wanted to capture the best lighting during sunset. We hope these photos help illustrate the beauty of Tavarua and what a special place it is.
