CLICK HERE for an inside look at Maria and Jay’s big day at Shipwrecks Beach on Kauai’s sunny South Shore. We arrived at the Sheraton Poipu for Maria’s “getting ready” photo session as the final details came together in their tropical ocean-view room. Shortly thereafter we all headed to the beach for the main event. Maria looked stunning while Jay couldn’t have appeared happier when they both stepped out of their stretch-limo. From the limo, Maria and Jay walked through a jungly path to their secluded corner of the beach where the soft evening light cast a warm glow throughout their ceremony. As the sun moved towards the horizon we ventured to the top of Shipwrecks bluff to take advantage of the spectacular views and capture a few romantic moments. It was the perfect storybook ending to a warm and beautiful wedding day on Kauai. Congratulations to the newlyweds, Maria and Jay, and mahalo for sharing your delicious wedding cake… yum!

CLICK HERE for a complete look at Kimberly and John’s romantic morning wedding photography from the end of Anini Beach Road, on Kauai’s breathtaking North Shore. Julia and I started with Kim and the ladies as John welcomed the arriving guests with his contagious sense of humor and warm smile. A light shower moved through the sunshine to bless the celebration and Kim and John quickly stole a moment together under an umbrella. Their ceremony naturally commenced with a casual gathering of close friends and family who were all invited to participate in a unique and personal ring warming tradition. The wedding rings were passed around the circle as funny stories, fond memories, and well-wishes were shared throughout. Following Kim and John’s hand-written exchange of vows, they sealed their bond with a kiss and concluded their beach wedding with a final romantic photo session. After putting the cameras down, we were honored to also share in their brunch reception. Mahalo nui loa for your generosity, congratulations to you both, and we hope you enjoy the photos!

CLICK HERE to view the spectacular wedding of two of our close friends. Aletha and Rob were married just a short distance from their home in Poipu, at the Kiahuna Plantation Gardens. Overlooking the turquoise ocean water crashing against the rocky coast, friends and family gathered from near and far to share this special celebration. A light sprinkle blessed the day as Aletha and Rob shared a private moment before their festivities began. Julia and I truly enjoyed every second of capturing the laughter, love, and sweet embraces that is so natural to these beautiful newlyweds. It was a picture perfect ceremony followed by an intimate reception with many personal touches and heartfelt toasts. We even got to take home our favorite Monkeypod Jam! Much love and aloha, a huge CONGRATS, and enjoy the photos!

CLICK HERE to view the complete wedding day of two incredible people at one of Kauai’s most beautiful gardens. Na ‘Aina Kai Botanical Gardens in Kilauea offers a variety of unique locations that create the perfect setting for a romantic celebration. Aleetza and Jason were married in a gorgeous teak forest as their close family and friends gathered to support their union. They exchanged vows as a cool breeze lifted off the ocean and swept gently through the canopy of trees. Following a quick photo session on the bluff, their reception took place in a grassy field next to the breaking waves of a private beach. Julia and I enjoyed every second of capturing the breathtaking scenery surrounding this absolutely stunning couple. Special thanks to Marlene from Mira Mira Events who coordinated a memorable event with elegantly refined details and many creative touches. A huge CONGRATS and enjoy the photos!

CLICK HERE for a complete look at Kristin and Alan’s wedding day photography from the Kauai Coast Resort and Hukilau Lanai Restaurant in Kapaa. We started the day with Kristin looking stunning in a hotel room full of beautiful bridesmaids getting ready. Family and friends gathered around to help with last minute details and excitement mounted as the final flowers were placed on their bamboo wedding arbor. Kristin and Alan’s ceremony was blessed with warm sunshine and gentle island breezes, just about as picture perfect as beach weddings get! Their Hukilau reception was a special celebration with amazing food and fantastic service (as always), heartfelt speeches, and a lively dance floor. Many mahalos and a big Ho’omaika’i ‘ana to Krisin and Alan!

CLICK HERE for an inside peek at Kristy and Gary’s sunset wedding at Shipwreck Beach along Kauai’s beautiful South Shore. On this day, most of the island was covered in rain but as their ceremony began, the sun poured through the clouds and lit up the sky. Beside breathtaking views of crashing waves against Poipu’s dramatic rocky coastline, this amazing couple was united in marriage with an intimate ceremony on the sand. We were lucky enough to be their witnesses and capture timeless imagery as Kristy and Gary celebrated their tropical wedding getaway. Congratulations to the newest and happiest couple on Kauai. Aloha and enjoy the photos!

CLICK HERE for a look into the lives of two beautiful people on their special day at Anini Beach. Along Kauai’s dramatic North Shore coastline, Micky was lucky enough to land the best catch of his life. Melissa looked stunning in the blustery weather and despite the windy and rainy conditions, her smile never faded. It didn’t take long for us to recognize the comfort, closeness, and compassion that Melissa and Micky share in their relationship. Their light shines through every photo! It was a such pleasure to work with this awesome couple and their supportive family who came to share in their celebration. Aloha nui loa and a huge CONGRATS to our new friends!

CLICK HERE to check out one hot couple get married on the beach during a beautiful January afternoon on the North Shore of Kauai. We started the day with Gaylin and her gals getting ready at their beautiful vacation rental property in Kilauea. Then we piled in the cars and went up the road to Anini Beach for a perfect sun-kissed ceremony. Unfortunately, Brian was a bit under the weather for their special day, however with a helpful Rx from the family nurses, he held up fantastically throughout the entire event. I also know the thought of marrying such a stunningly beautiful woman must have helped keep him smiling. Gaylin was simply breathtaking and together with Brian they lit up every shot with the warmest embraces. The love these two share radiates through every photo… Aloha to you both and congratulations!
