Puamana Maui Wedding | Jessica & Trey

Puamana Clubhouse was the perfect location for Trey and Jessica’s beautiful wedding. Their wedding ceremony took place on the lawn, with the outdoor dinner reception just a few steps away. I had a lot of fun photographing this adorable couple. Both Trey and Jessica are photographers, and Jessica had some really cool photo ideas which we used.

At the reception, everyone was treated to Hawaiian music while enjoying a wonderful buffet dinner provided by Maui Executive Catering.

Congratulations, Jessica and Trey! I hope you have a wonderful time on your honeymoon.

Thank you, Shaina Kalama, for assisting me.

Ritz-Carlton Kapalua Maui Wedding | Erin & Jacob

joanna — Mon, 13 Sep 2010 23:38:08 +0000

Married at the Ritz-Carlton Kapalua, Erin and Jacob had their dream wedding. Accompanied by about twenty-five close friends and family, the couple’s exchange of vows was officiated by Rev. Pia Aluli.

Before the wedding on the Napili lawn, Erin and Jacob had their first look, a very sweet and tender moment, in the garden area near the lobby. We then took photos all around the beautiful hotel grounds. After the ceremony, we went down to the beach and Lava Point for sunset shots. Having ample time for photography is ideal because it gives me plenty of opportunities to be creative, and to include a large variety of settings.

The reception was nothing short of amazing. While we were taking photos, the guests enjoyed tropical drinks. The gorgeous couple made a grand entrance and joined the lovely celebration. The Ritz-Carlton dished up a delicious dinner which Erin and Jacob included us in (thank you, guys!), so I can personally say the food and service was of the highest quality.

The day could not have been more beautiful. Michelle, the coordinator at the Ritz-Carlton, did an outstanding job at this wedding.

Much thanks to Shaina Kalama for your assistance.

Some vendors that made this day phenomenal:

Dan Sanchez - Hair
Ritz-Carlton, Kapaulua – Ceremony and Reception Venue
Pia Aluli – Officiant
