St. Regis Princeville Kauai : Preview

There is so much goodness contained in these photos I cannot begin to describe it all (its a preview, I'll get wordy later with the full post ;). All I can say is Laura and Mike had the most intimate ceremony we have ever witnessed. It was just the two of them, their pastor, and the two of us ... on a tiny stretch of sand on the north end of Hanalei Bay. Its been stormy all week and it rained all morning and night, but stopped just long enough for their portraits and ceremony (how lucky is that!). We really can't express the love that was felt on the beach that afternoon. Thank you Laura and Mike for letting us photograph these amazing moments.

We're in Kauai for two more days, so more to post when we return!

Aloha! Paul + Leann

Megan + Jonathan : Newport Coast Wedding

First off ... if good looks can be measured on a scale of one to ten, these two go to eleven! Everything came together splendidly to give Megan and Jonathan an amazing day they'll never forget (especially if I have anything to do with it ;). They even met up before the wedding for a "first glance" between just the two of them. I love this for a bunch of reasons, particularly because the portrait hour would have been short due to a sunset ceremony and it took the anxiety level down a notch for both of them as they prepped for the ceremony. Jonathan is from Puerto Rico, so there was a bit of cultural blending ... literally, he brought sand back from his native home and mixed it in the glass with some of Megan's "local" sand.

As a side note ... Megan and Jonathan are both extremely accomplished individuals and recently passed the bar and are practicing lawyers. They both come from very legal families ... so I'd say out of the 225 guests, about 80 of them were lawyers. Needless to say we were on our best behavior. And if anyone tripped over my lightstand, I have no idea how it got there ;).

Thanks to the great vendors and details that brought the day together:

Hair - Louis Orozco of Madison Salon
Vive Entertainment - Peter Papadopoulus
Food by Resort at Pelican Hill
Audio and Visual Services - Mark Cooney of Pelican Hill
Shoes - Christian Louboutin
Calligraphy by Kathleen
