Kathy Ireland Beachfront Wedding Marissa + Blair















I fell in love with Marissa, her mother and Blair.  The kept hitting bumps in the road during the planning but she always kept a smile.  The day turned out perfect.  The most amazing weather, delicous food and fabulous dance party.  She knew what mattered most and that nothing could stop them from getting married.  She had the right attitude the entire time and it paid off.

You can feel the love between Marissa and Blair even in their photos.  It jumps out at you.

Shout out to all the fantastic vendors making this day a dream come true!

Secret Island Kualoa Ranch Wedding + Roy's Hawaii Kai Reception Amelia + Adam

























Photography by one of my favorites Dulce.  They are so romantic and timeless.  This ceremony was at Secret Island, which is a private beachfront located at Kualoa Ranch.  If you want that private beach ceremony this is your place!  Your guests will be wowed as they take a short 5 minute calm boat ride across Molii Pond.  They embark on a jungle like pathway through the woods to this gorgeous beach.  Tons of movies have been filmed here.

Reception was held in a private ocean view room at Roy's in Hawaii Kai.

JW Marritot Ihilani Kristy+Aaron

















Back in 2006 I had the pleasure of being a part of this fabulous Jewish wedding.  I love the Jewish traditions of breaking the glass, Hava Nagila and signing of the Ketubah.  This bold red wedding with splashes of pink using tiger lily flowers was set at JW Ihilani Ocean Ballroom.  The bride planned her entire wedding perfectly and hired me for the day of so she could enjoy all her hard work.   Parisols and programs were passed out for guests prior to ceremony.  Program fans work out great to keep guests cool and shade from the sun.
