Hawaii Weddings

Elizabeth & Montana had such a gorgeous day for their wedding on Lumahai Beach Kauai.We can only have weddings in the summer on this beach due to unpredictable & dangerous surf. Some waves came up a bit higher than expected a few times. The videographer got wet but the bride didn’t! Kelvin Ho was their minister for their Hawaiian ceremony. They wrote their own vows, which made them both cry of course. I tend to always bring  a parasol to weddings just in case someone is getting too much sun, and so we used it for pictures after the ceremony. I would never recommend for a bride to have such a long and unbeaded vail on the beach, because it blows around so much, but it made for a great entrance and once it got to be too much of a bother we took it off. Her white Phalaenopsis orchid bouquet was quite stunning, as was the bride herself. I couldn’t decide if I preferred some of the images in black and white or color, so I posted both.

Beautiful wedding and reception at Moloaa Shangri-La, a private 15 acre estate on Kauai. They had such vibrant tropical flowers at their event.

It was pleasure to work with both the bride and groom in the planning process. They make a great team!

I truly enjoyed helping Starre & Bryant with their wedding plans on Kauai.
Their ceremony was held at Plantation Gardens Kiahuna, followed by intimate sunset pictures at Poipu beach. The reception nearby was very intimate with close family, at the vacation rental where they all stayed.
They were so much in love and their son Ahwrey was such a cutie!
