Karen and Albert had one of the most International weddings I have ever done!  The guests were from China, England and the US!  Well, only Albert is originally from the the US.   Such a fun eclectic group!  They were married at the gorgeous Olowalu Plantation House and had their reception at the Old Lahaina Luau.  We had some time before the luau began so we took a few hours for photos of the lovebirds!

We stopped by their hotel, Hanoa Kai

At the Luau, Karen changed in to a beautiful pink dress!

If you don’t know Rev Christopher Tuttle then you should take some to seek him out and introduce yourself.  He is a such a caring, heart warming man who is always a joy to be around.  He is a friend and fellow wedding vendor and performs happy couple’s wedding ceremonies year round.   Last year he started a charity called Military Mondays.  Lucky military couples can get a free wedding ceremony and other select services free of charge!  I had volunteered my free photography services for Kelly Jo and Cory’s wedding at the Bali Hai. They were able to celebrate with their closest family friends and their kids.   The florals were donated by Elegant Touch Floral Designs.

Tom and Geetha were married in a very intimate wedding ceremony at Estancia La Jolla.  Most of Geetha’s family lives in India so they were able to Skype to them so they could follow along the entire day!  I love technology.  The wedding ran so smoothly from start to finish, thanks to the oversight of Helena.

Mike and Jessica (and a handful of their friends and family) flew out from New York for a very intimate beach wedding in Coronado.  It was exactly what they wanted: Loving, small and included In-N-Out!  The newlyweds and their guests hopped on a San Diego Trolley to head to In-N-Out for some snacks!  We also snuck off for some photo time at the beach!

Shout out to some cool vendors: Brenda with Swann Soirees, Sally with Exquisite Blooms, Omnistories, Rev Christopher Tuttle, Violinist Allison Roush and San Diego Trolley!

Marko and Ashley were married on a warm January day in Palm Desert.  The light is so beautiful out there!  The grounds of Desert Willow Resort were stunning and the party went late in to the night!  Such a fantastic wedding, referred by two of my favorite clients, Jenny and Daniel!
