I remember this early morning wedding at Tunnels! Fun photos by Julia Streich Photography. Looks like some fun frolicking in the waves after I left. Love these intimate elopements, especially when the memories are captured by a local professional photographer!

I love it when I get to see the professional photographs of weddings I've done, so I can see what happened before and after the ceremony. Sometimes we even get a little sprinkle during the vows, a Kauai blessing. Umbrella up and the camera keeps clicking!

Happy Humanist Day! June 21st every year. Humanists often strive to live out these goals/commitments. Never expecting perfection in myself or others is something I'm always working on, as well, so every year I seem to renew my commitment toward some grace, while striving for these goals.

I was honored to assist this beautiful family in a vow renewal this morning at Keoneloa Beach (aka Shipwrecks) fronting the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Poipu. Keana Willis of Luna Kai Photography captured these images.

While Shipwreck Beach can seem crowded in the afternoons and evenings, it's usually quiet and lovely in the early morning hours.

For those couples who have others in their party who might like to get "styled" before the big event, brides maids, grooms gals, mothers of the bride/groom, etc., don't forget to ask them if they'd like to be included in your styling appointment.

I've got lots of Hair and Makeup Stylists listed on my website, including the Artists Co. (Venue, the Hardwood Forest at Na Aina Kai in Kilauea.)

Don’t get left behind on the wedding day!
