Brett & Susan

Susan & Brett love to laugh and share their bright spirits with others.  Susan is very caring working as a full time nurse.  Her dear friends Kristin and Carolyn tended to her with simply beautiful hair and makeup design.  Susan looked like a classic movie star in her lace tea length dress embellished with an Amanda Judge belt.  Brett's face was all proud smiles when he saw her appear above the torch lights lining the ceremony.  All the friends that traveled to Kona adore their personalities.  Susan's parents who are both deceased were lovingly remembered and honored by two white roses.  Brett's parents, sisters and Susan's extended family presented beautiful toasts, hugged and danced with newlywed couple all evening in celebration.

Paper Wings Carry Me

Sara & Lawrence integrated a special tradition into their wedding.  
Folding 1,000 Origami Cranes is truly a labor of love The ancient practice of a man and woman folding 1,000 cranes for their wedding is a Japanese tradition that stands for long life, happiness, and peace. Cranes are associated with fidelity and longevity, as they choose a mate for life and are said to live a thousand years. That is why 1,000 cranes are made, one for each year. Tradition holds that the couple who finishes this task before their wedding day will be richly rewarded with a good and happy marriage.

Dancing, Balie, At The Mendez Wedding

11/1/2013

Janelle and Robert were joined by their 2 year old daughter Jocelyn in Kailua-Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii for their destination wedding. The event was centered around family who had traveled to join the young couple for the special event. Some of the heartfelt family moments were watching little Jocelyn help her mother and father prepare for the ceremony and hearing Janelle's heartfelt toast. Janelle started her speech thanking her family first then started to thank Robert's family by saying although she has spent time with them for years they have never spoke....   Robert's parents speak only Spanish and Janelle speaks only English. She then continued the rest of her speech to her new family in fluent Spanish.  The entire reception was together in tears of joy and understanding.

Halloween 2013

Halloween morning started out with a huge spider web that covered the entire classroom.  We then estimated the weight of the Great Pumpkin.  In math class we carved the pumpkin and counted all the seeds in its guts.  The children also painted little pumpkins.  There were great costumes today at school, vampires, princesses, goblins, hillbillies etc. etc. etc.  I went as a flamenco dancer....then came home changed into my hula costume to go to work at Lava Lava.  The staff at Lava Lava had incredible costumes too.... most to gory to show pictures.  My hula costume tonight looked more like a pumpkin than a dancer :)  One of my recent wedding couples were in the crowd!  My favorite costumes by far though where those I received in texts messages from my brother and sister of my niece and nephews.  Elizabeth's kids were dressed as Peter Pan and Wendy.  Matthew's sons were a Ranger, Thomas Train and a horse.  I love those kids!!

The last few weeks at Innovations Charter School have been eventful. We took the 1st and 2nd graders to the Kahilu Theater to see Lava Roots African Dance Concert. On Tuesday Matt from Reef Teach came to share a lesson on our local marine life. On Wednesday Kumu Malie gave the blessing as all the children helped in the groundbreaking for the new extension on the campus. Today was the start of Spirit Week..... everyone wore mustaches. The rest of the week is sure to be exciting! All that while still dancing at Beach Club in the evenings and had three weddings to photograph this week.

I adore Reverend Patrick! 


He is a Photographers best friend. 


Last night when Sara the bride stepped up on the alter her dress folder under her feet. There were many guest but no bridal party, so Rev Patrick to the rescue. 


He is not only a fashion mavin .... he is attentive to details in every aspect of the ceremony. He always guides the couples to perfect picture shots. Once Sara's train was draped beautifully he began the marriage ceremony.


Visit often, more to come from Sara & Lawrence's wedding soon.

Carly and Jordan are fun loving and were surrounded by friends and family at their Hawaiian destination wedding.  Carly chose elegant red roses for the wedding decor.  Jordan was a comedian who enjoyed chasing geckos, rapping at his reception, dog piling with his groomsmen and loved to pose for photos always trying to slip his new wedding ring in as the focus of the shot. Friends loved dancing to every type of music. This young couple laughed all day long  clearly enjoying each others companionship.  Congratulations Carly & Jordan!
