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!

Kaitlyn & Kellen

Kaitlyn & Kellen were such a pleasure, so gracious! They are both just 21 years old which makes it much more expensive to rent a car apparently!

They were married at Ho’ai Bay also called Babies Beach in Poipu. We pretty much had the entire beach to ourselves. Occasionally we’d see a turtles head pop up out of the surf.

After the ceremony we went to the lawn at Kiahuna for a few more pictures. Kaitlyn’s mom and grandma were in attendance. It’s neat to see the generations of women together.

Furaha & Jerry

Furaha & Jerry had such a perfect day.!

There was a Hawaiian monk seal down on the beach during the wedding. He slept through the entire time though. This beach is below the Hanalei Bay Resort also called Pu’u Poa beach. Very nice, with the distant view of Bali Hai in the background.

They honored their ancestors by jumping the broom! pretty cool. I was afraid that they were going to fall though. It’s hard to jump on the sand in a long dress!

We had a duo of saxophone and guitar, which sounded lovely, a first for me.

Natasha & Doug

Oh young couples in LOVE! Natasha and Doug were married at the Hanalei Bay Resort Princeville.

She was quite nervous up until she locked eyes with her groom to be!

Shannon & Tim

Shannon and Tim came all of the the way from Fayettville Arkansas to share their vows with each other at the Na Aina Kai Botanical Gardens in Kilauea. We took pictures all over their 240 acre gardens and had a great time doing it! There were so many orchids blooming and there was a vine of Jade in red and in blue. Amazing! Love those flowers!
