Hawaii Weddings

What a beautiful sunset wedding Renae and Heath had with a spectacular view of Bali Hai!.

They had an intimate beach ceremony on Kauai with close family and friends visiting all of the way from Australia.I have to say I really don’t know what it is about Australia that makes the people from there so cool, laid back and fun loving! There must be something in the water!

Renae’s son Sam was and front center for the ceremony, not missing a word. They exchanged leis , did the water sharing Hawaiian ceremony with minister  Kelvin Ho and enjoyed a stroll down what lucky enough turned into being a  private beach for pictures.The conch shell blower was a fun touch, and after the ceremony Sam got to try blowing the shell too.

This beach is ‘Pu’uPoa’ also called Princeville beach by most is such a great beach for weddings. Very accessible through The Hanalei Bay Resort, St. Regis or many public access stairs.

They had their wedding reception at the St Regis on the terrace. We hired the Nostalgic Hawaiian musicians for the cocktail hour.   Yummy cup cakes instead of a wedding cake and the white phalaenopsis orchid centerpieces, which I just loved!

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.
