Maile and Cody’s wedding took place in Friday Harbor, Washington. The entire day could not have been more perfect. Love, joy and happiness were all quite visible between the bride and groom and everyone surrounding them. With a rustic, backyard setting and very vibrant colors, this wedding was absolutely one of the most beautiful weddings I have witnessed. Maile and Cody’s love for each other is inspiring to everyone who meets them.
Gary, the father of the bride, married the couple. It was a very emotional ceremony with tears of joy and lots of laughs. One thing that I remember and thought was adorable was; instead of saying “I do” when saying their promises, they gave each other high-fives. After the ceremony, guests enjoyed a cocktail hour and a Mexican dinner buffet. Everyone casually mingled on the lawn before the speeches, skits and dancing began. Maile’s sisters are known for their long speeches at family weddings and Maile made them promise that they would stay under twenty minutes. The girls’ toast was a skit about Maile and Cody’s life together. Malia narrated and Kolina and Tari are quite the talented actresses — their skit was hilarious and had everyone rolling!
Maile is Kawika’s (my husband) first cousin. Her parents, Gary and Robyn, are the sweetest people and their entire family is the best. We stayed with them in Seattle and were incredibly hospitable and kind. I am so happy to have become a part of this wonderful family. Maile and Cody – thank you so much for having me photograph your big day! It was wonderful to both capture the moments of your day, and also celebrate with everyone. We hope to see you in Hawaii soon. Congratulations to the both of you! We love you! XOXO
