Jody & Glenn~ Na Aina Kai Gardens Hawaii

Jody and Glenn had so much passion for each other. You could tell that they had been together for a long time and truly loved each other deeply. I was skeptical at first about the whole Kilt wearing, but wow did it fit Glenn in every way of the word.

Melissa & JD

Melissa had so many wonderful ideas for her wedding.

She wanted to incorporate the “Bali Theme” into her event.

All of the colors were amazing. Her centerpiees were so unlike any other weddings

We brought in orchids from the Big Island and from Orchid Alley here on Kauai to be sure that she had some that were “different”

During the planning process she moved to Kauai. It was great to spend some time with her before her big day!

Brandee & Brad

They had a beautiful wedding and reception at Moloaa Shangri-La! It was a very humid muggy day but luckily Brandee had her hair and make-up professionally done so you can’t tell from the pictures.

We had a little sprinkle during the ceremony, but that’s blessings for a good marriage, right!?

Moloaa Shangri La is such a gorgeous property, with many flowers,  trees and cool  statues. July is the time to be there. The  bright red Flamboyant also know as Royal Poinciana trees and the purple,  pink Bouganvilla are in full bloom.

Amy & Jason

What a sweet and very happy couple! Amy was so gracious and thankful for everything. Though it was a small wedding she was still amazed by how easy it all was for her. Weddings don’t have to be stressful! She wants to be a wedding planner too. I bet she’d be great at it! I will never tire of weddings at Tunnels beach. I had a hard time narrowing these pictures down, as you can tell! They released butterflies at the end of the ceremony. It’s a nice touch and sometimes they’ll hang around for a little while on your bouquet even. Afterward we had a private Chef cater their dinner at Waipouli beach resort in Kapaa. They had crab legs and Prime Rib, yum!

Traci & James

Traci & James had their wedding ceremony at Poipu Beach. It’s usually quite crowded for weddings, but we found a private spot.

When they put leis on their parents to honor them, I got choked up a bit myself.

Traci added a nice idea, to have guests write well wishes on river rocks. Something to have as a great keepsake.

There were these two roosters fighting briefly on the lawn at the reception at Hale Pohaku, not something most people see everyday!It was actually quite hilarious, neither of them were injured.tj16

Alex & Coy

Alex & Coy had their wedding ceremony earlier in the day. It was really hot , but they had very bright pictures! The Plumeria leis are so fragrant. They are very fragile and brown easily,but held up quite well considering. ac2ac5ac4ac8ac9ac6ac7ac10ac1

Lisa & Linden

Lisa & Linden came to Kauai all of the way from Wodonga Australia!

Wonderful wedding ceremony on the beach at Ho’ai Bay. This is right down the road from The Beach House restaurant, where they enjoyed their dinner reception.

Loved her vail. It was adorned with heavy crystals that weighed it down perfectly  so that it didn’t blow around too much. They sparkled so nicely in the sun.

Nancylynn & Frank

Nancylynn and Frank had a perfect day on Shipwrecks beach, fronting the Grand Hyatt Kauai. It was like they had the whole beach to themselves. Nancylynn had no fear, wanting to go out onto to rocks. With the waves here you have to be really careful! Keeping it simple they dressed casual and enjoyed their intimate ceremony,just the two of them.

Catherine & Jonathan

Catherine & Jonathan were married at the Na Aina Kai Botanical Gardens in Kilauea, Kauai.

The harpist was a wonderful touch to enhance the mood of romance in the air. They had a nice little rainbow to enjoy down on the beach afterward. I don’t believe that they have many back home in Oklahoma!

This is truly the best private wedding venue on Kauai! It offers lush gardens, lagoon waterfall and beach access. There are many areas on this estate ideal for a ceremony large or small.

Elizabeth & Brian

Elizabeth and Brian were married at The Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Lihue.

They enjoyed cocktails and appetizers on the lawn at the Huki Lau Lanai followed by reception.

They really knew how to dance; Brian and his mom especially!

All of guests did the Electric Slide together perfectly. They did the traditional money dance too, man that is hilarious!
