Upon arrival @ The Gorgeous Olowalu Plantation House, we were treated to a stunning venue put together by White Orchid Wedding.
The “rustic look” white flowers arrangements were very beautiful on all the tables ~ specially all the details on the vases!!! They had a hint of light pink and so many little details that were to die for!!! The arches, the wedding dress, the bridemaids dress, the dress hanger ( marked “bride” in metal) the sparkle shoes, her something blue, the groom colored socks, the delicious cake, the pink table clothes, the bouquets and the two little flower girls with their crowns… everything was perfect. Really!
They also had that BLUE~BLUE sky that we all love so much because it makes the prettiest background on all photos!
With all of Hannah’s bridesmaids hovering around making sure no details were overlooked, Hannah just looked radiant!
Hannah’s parents walked her down the aisle with tears in their eyes. It was very touching! Of course the little flower girls had to steal the show for a while, being “EXTRA CUTE” in front of all the guests.
Tim had a traditional breaking of the glass & sweet kiss to seal the deal. Very beautiful ceremony I must say! Maui again delivered a beautiful sunset! I especially enjoyed the fire show put on by Manutea Nui E. Wow! Was it ever AMAZING!
Congratulations to Hannah & Tim!
Enjoy the pictures & thank you much for letting me a part of your special day!

Congratulations to Vanessa & Ricardo for their very beautiful & very fun wedding at The Olowalu Plantation House! Planning their wedding all the way from Italy was quite a challenge, but after months & months of planning & countless emails, the day arrived & Maui once again put on an amazing show with Stunning weather & a Gorgeous wedding location. In addition to the bride & groom coming from Italy, most of the family also traveled the long distance to be part of the festivities. Vanessa looked stunning in a sassy form fitting dress & OMG did she ever laugh & laugh & laugh. Actually everyone was just having such a good time soaking in the beauty of the day. I have lots of favorite shots, but especially love the last B&W shot in the post. That was just such a pure moment to capture as you can almost “FEEL” the love they have for each other! ENJOY the pics & again Congrats to Vanessa & Ricardo!

Check this out for a romantic story. They actually met in 1998 on New Years Eve & lost touch until years later. That quick meeting though had a lasting impresion though as years later, Thomas confessed his love for her. Exactly to the very day, ELEVEN YEARS later, Kelly & Thomas went out for their FIRST date on New Years EVE. Since then they have been inseparable. Their wedding was gorgeous, as they had rented this SUPER SWEET house on Maui’s west side with ALL of their really important people in attendance. As soon as the “I DO’s” were said the “PARTY WAS ON”! Look for the second rainbow picture. That is actually a “MOON BOW” as it was totally dark out. Congrats to Kelly & Thomas! Enjoy the Images!

This was a a great couple full of joy & laughter & SO EXCITED to finally get married. Altough the wind was blowing really hard at the begining, it eventually subsided.
They both laughed & enjoyed the moment.
Tori Rogers of Hawaiian Island Wedding Planners took care of all of the beautiful details.
Alalani of Kuhina Hawaiian Blessing’s made it official with a very special ceremony. Great Couple & I wish them the very best!
Aloha

From earlier conversations with the coordinator I knew this wedding was going to be “Super Fabulous”! I just did not know HOW “Super Fabulous” it actually was going to be.
Ileana & Dax had been dating for ten years and have a three year old daughter. She had bought her AMAZING dress, three years earlier, and had kept it hidden from her husband for all that time.
Living in Las Vegas, their busy lifestyle had not permited them to get married sooner & finally the day came to say “I DO”!
With about 60 of their closest friends & family, they said their nuptials to each other. The evening was beautiful with soft clouds making the light easy to work with & comfortable as everyone enjoyed the evening. Their little girl was SO Cute. She constantly was doing little “cute” things which made for great photos.
Their sunset they scored was also amazing.
Leah Robb of Island Wedding Memories not only coordinated the evenings events, but also made all the incredible flowers that adorned the tables.

Enjoy the pictures & Congrats to Ileana & Dax!

OMG! Nancy & Keith have such an awesome story!
Having dated for a VERY long time, Keith has been deployed in Iraq for 4 tours & Afghanistan for 2 tours.
Keeping the faith that her fiance would remain safe after all that time in harms way, they retreated to Maui at The Westin Resort & Spa to finally say their “I Do’s” to one another.
Throughout the evening, passerby’s kept wishing them “Congratulations”.
When we walked through the pool bar area, everyone there started clapping! I got “chicken skin” from the reception they received. Very Cool!
Like all these people, I also want to say: “Congratulations & thank you so much for your service to this country!”
It was truly an honor being a part of it! Enjoy the pictures! Tad
