I am a bit biased though… Ashleigh is my little sister, guess not so little anymore:) Quite challenging to hold the roles of wedding coordinator, big sister and bridesmaid. All went better than either of us could have hoped for really!  That being said I was pretty sure that I wouldn’t be able to capture all of the elements with my own camera to post, as I usually do. The images posted as you can see are from Charity V, and Liz Belfor’s I’ll post too. It is interesting to see the very different styles of these two extremely talented ladies capturing the same wedding. Charity was asked to capture more of the decor, while Liz captured the wedding itself,  the joy and emotion of the day.

Kelvin Ho is a Hawaiian minister that I am honored to work with quite often, so I have seen and heard his ceremony many times, though this time I could not stop crying!

While the guests were enjoying cocktails I showed the newly weds the reception set up and Ash started crying. That’s a moment I’ll cherish for a long time. So many tears of joy were shared on such a perfect day! Many elements were kept secret including the ice sculpture!

We had the ceremony at The Na Aina Kai Botanical Gardens and reception at Plantation Gardens. Having shuttle services provided for all guests made travel between these two locations ,( one North side and one being south side of the island )possible. It just had to be done in order to have the ideal venues for both wedding ceremony and reception. The wedding guests traveled from St Augustine Florida and Ontario Canada to attend, so what’s a little extra travel time!

All guests enjoyed a great authentic Luau show complete with fire dancer, and dancing throughout the evening. I even enjoyed some Lavender Pina Coladas my self!

Here is to weddings and family!

I really can’t begin to express how delightful it was to be part of Tina & Adams special wedding day on Kauai.Tina had many wonderful elements that made their wedding even more special. They named the tables after mythical locations, from Wonderland  to Whoville! Such a neat idea! Each couple shared a bottle of yummy dessert wine to take home, and everyone had a locally made macaroon. It’s so nice when couples can take the time to  add that personal touch to their event. They even  brought many framed pictures from home of their family to be displayed at the reception.

Their first dance was by far the best I have ever seen!Those dance lessons really paid off the way they glided across the dance floor,  absolutely glowing with so much love  for each other. A very fun time was had by all.white wedding flowersWalking down the islewedding under a treeoutdoor wedding ceremony wedding greetingsflower girlthe happy couplereception decorationsHawaiian flower centerpiece Waiting areawedding favorswedding favorwedding foodhawaiian wedding musicwedding archromantic center piece Paper Hanging Globespaper wedding globeswedding lightswedding tent lights

The ceremony was Christian and Hawaiian. We went over to the Kiahuna Resort, Plantation Gardens as well as  Poipu Beach for pictures. We had a great time taking pictures at the different locations. The orchid garden walk is just amazing!

It was the perfect time of day for a secluded beach wedding at Tunnels Beach.
During their stay they hiked the Kalalau trail to the Hanakapiai falls, and all of the way to the Kalalau Valley. How adventurous!
They hike together all of the time back home,but Kauai offers a bit more scenery. I kept warning them to take it slow and be careful.
The majestic beauty of the Na Pali Coast is worth at least hiking in a mile or two to see.

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. Jody and Glenn chose the Na Aina Kai Gardens for their wedding location.

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!
