I feel like all of my posts have been so long and image heavy lately, but I am just so excited to share them with you all! This one will be no exception. I had a BLAST in Maui capturing Jen & Pat’s Wedding weekend with their friends and family. I am having such a hard time choosing which images to share, so please excuse the image overload!

We started the wedding day off at Honua Kai with morning yoga! It was the perfect start to the day with friends and family.
After morning yoga everybody took a little breakfast break and then the getting ready process began! First at Honua Kai, and then finishing up at Olowalu Plantation House before the ceremony. One of my favorite wedding day traditions to do with my couples is to gather up their bridal party members and have them circle around, and each take a turn telling their favorite memory of the couple or individually of the bride or groom. I started doing it last summer, and it creates such an amazing energy during those pre ceremony moments, of laughter and love, that I try to do it with every wedding I shoot when time allows!
Jen and Pat opted to do a first look with each other before the ceremony. The Plantation house was the perfect setting for it. Cozy and intimate!
As far as bridal parties go, you couldn’t have a better crew than this! So much amazing positive energy and love.
The ceremony was a perfect reflection of the couple. Filled with joy, laughter, and jokes!
Every detail of the day was perfectly attended to by Emily of Manette Gracie (I adore working with her, and PS for all of my couples who book with her I offer a discount because she is just that awesome!)
I whisked the couple off for a few moments of portraits before the sunset and then it was party time!
