Congrats Robert and Jamie!

If it looks like we dropped into the set of ‘Lost’ for this wedding… it’s because we did! Kualoa Ranch is, in my opinion, one of the most breathtakingly gorgeous areas of the entire island, and this Secret Island wedding was absolutely exquisite in every way.

I am in love with this floral crown, which was hand created by Manu over at Posy Parties. The evening before the wedding, Manu had a class with the bride and bridesmaids and assisted them in creating their own bouquets, which adds a special touch to any wedding… and is a lot of fun! If you’re wanting to make your own bouquets but are unsure of where to start or don’t want to have to supply your own flowers, get in touch with her — her work is incredible and she is totally amazing to work with. Seriously.

A scenic boat ride between the softly-rippled mountains of the windward side took us to Secret Island, a secluded strip of paradise that the happy bride and groom — along with their guests — had all to themselves. HawaiiWeddingPhotographer-11

Rob and Jamie met under a beach shower after a swim race last year and, after a bit of (non-creepy) stalking on his part, they fast became best friends. Their love for each other is obvious and just seems so right. To capture this special day in their lives was a joy.

I loved all of the handmade touches that were a part of this wedding… simplicity and elegance, and an abundance of exploding colors that I think are such a necessary part of any wedding in Hawaii, since the palette of this island is so vibrant. HawaiiWeddingPhotographer-58Congratulations, Jamie and Robert! Thanks for choosing Selador Images to be your Hawaii wedding photographer! I’m so happy that you both truly did marry your best friend and am confident that you will have a long and happy future together.

Aloha Maui

Last week brought the fulfillment of a dream as I had an “excuse” to fly over to Maui for a couple of portrait sessions, and although I’m back home on Oahu now, I definitely left my heart on Maui and might have to make another move before too long. Maui is Magic. Kirlangitis-40

I had the privilege of working with a beautiful family from Texas, and an adorable, very in-love couple honeymooning from the midwest. Of course, I had to make time for a bit of exploring as well 🙂
