This photograph was taken at a recent Maui wedding. There’s nothing quite like a punch of color and uniqueness of these bouquets to add to the look & feel to a wedding.

Here’s a sneak peek of Marisa & Steven’s Maui wedding.

Last Wednesday, Miriam and Todd were married at Mama’s Fish House. These two lovebirds met through mutual friends on the Harvard campus. A guest told me that she “stalked” Todd at Shay’s (the bar where Todd works) but she’ll deny it. They traveled all the way from Boston for the wedding. Not only did they fly across the country but so did Todd’s grandmother, which was a special treat for the whole family.

Other than a light tropical sprinkle before the wedding, the weather was sunny with blue skies. Miriam has a magnetic personality–she is funny & sweet, I felt like we were old friends. And this girl absolutely adores Todd. Todd is always making her laugh and the chemistry between the two of them is something very special. They both read their handwritten vows which brought everyone (including myself) to tears. It was one of the most emotional weddings I have had the privilege to witness.

Dellables Floral Wedding Design did a lovely job with all the floral arrangements and with decorating the arch. My wonderful husband Elan photographed along side with me. A big maholo to Daniel & Ralph for introducing us to your families, everyone was so warm & inviting.

Congratulations Miriam & Todd!

Yaralena & Chris flew in from Kansas to have their Maui wedding. They were married at Po’olenalena Beach on May 24th, 2010. It was just the two of them ~ such a simple & elegant beach wedding.

Congratulations Yaralena & Chris! Thank you for letting me be a part of your big day!

The Makena Beach & Golf Resort (formerly known as The Maui Prince) is under new management and thus in the process of some major restructuring. I was graciously invited last week to take some images of their beautiful grounds. I feel very fortunate to have been able to work with some of the best wedding vendors on this island for the shoot:

Organizer & Visionary: Genevieve De Rego ~ Wedding & Catering Service Manager for the resort.
The exquisite floral arrangements: Dellables by Della ~ This woman’s flower arrangements are art. They speak for themselves.
Make up: Jessica Waite ~ Maui’s top make-up artist. This girl has such a lively personality. We’ll be working closely in the future.
Hair: Dan Sanchez ~ I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for him as he did wonders for my hair on my own wedding day. The man is brilliant.
Models: The gorgeous Reba & Clifton Dodge.

Here is one of my favorite moments at yesterday’s wedding at the Olowalu Plantation House Estate in Maui. This was a happy, candid moment between these two lovebirds. Her expression is priceless.

Here is a glimpse of yesterday’s bridal photo shoot. It was a huge success!
