Young and Fun

Kristie and Larin wanted an elegant event for their wedding so they chose to have a dinner reception at the Ihilani Resort on November 18. But the couple is young and fun, so they didn't want their day to be too formal. They wanted to have fun. An admitted tomboy, Kristie reminded us during the photo session that she was not "girlie." During a spontaneous moment returning from beach photos, Kristie jumped on Larin's back which gave us one of the best candid images of the day.

Getting the Shot for the Bride

Teri Castillo had her heart set on photos at La Pietra on November 18, her wedding day. As it turned out, the school had an event scheduled that day, but this was not going to interfere with creating memorable image for Teri and her groom, Everett. Looking at the photos, one would never know it was taken in the middle of a craft fair among the booths and the crowd.

Outdoor Glow

Everyone will remember the humidity on November 5 at Keri and James' wedding at Lanikohunua. We will remember it for the 2 unique photos created to at their event. During the sunset, the bridal party was captured in an informal silhouette against the orange and blue glow in the sky. After dusk, the transparent reception tent was alive with laughter and light and another image was created to show the translucent luminaries leading to the celebration. The sunset images eventually became our new ad for Hawaii Bride and Groom magazine.

Red Floral Chandelier

The grounds of Lanikohunua are a popular wedding sight for couples who want their reception outdoors. Most times this involves a tent as insurance against rainy weather. When Diana and David entered their reception tent they were surprised by the size of the impressive red chandelier created by their florist Yvonne Chapman. The couple exchanged their vows on November 4 and shared their first dance under their beautiful floral arrangement.

The Perfect White Orchid Gown

We were excited when bride Susan Dang showed us photos of her gown online when she visited our studio. We had never seen a gown with such motion and delicate design. On October 29, Susan was a vision in her simple, elegant, flowing gown. The white orchids in her hair echoed the embellishment on the bodice. If all brides could find the gown that accents her best features, our job would be easy.

Breathtaking Ceremony View

The blue ocean and sky of Makapu'u beach made the perfect scenic background for the ceremony of Lori and Paul on October 28. Memorable family portraits as well as glamorous bridal portraits were taken at the beach before the celebration was moved to the Halekulani Hotel. The couple's photo can be seen in Hawaii Bride and Groom magazine's Wedding Gallery.

Frisked By the Bride

The Waialae Country Club is a cozy setting for couples who want a simple beach-front wedding. On October 17, Tammie and Ben exchanged their vows in front of their guests, most of whom had traveled from out of town. During the informal lunch reception, the bride and groom demonstrated what good sports they are when participating in games planned by their wedding party. Some lucky male guests were good sports as well and allowed themselves to get frisked by the bride.
