A Maui Wedding

The view from the Sea Breeze Villa – Wedding Central. Most of the gatherings took place in this fabulous home.

The middle of September found me on the island of Maui. I was to spend four days there shooting the wedding Anna and Elan. Most of the time was spent with camera in hand. And I got to have some fun with the wedding party.

There is something special that happens when you spend a lot of time with people. I only knew Anna & Elan when I arrived. And now I was going to be living with fifteen plus people I had never met before. Most of these people have known each other for many years – some since grade school! And most of the guest were from Minnesota where the couple first met. So here are a few images from that weekend:

Some Hawaiian locals – a short trip to the Aquarium – Friday afternoon.

Picking up the tuxes…

…followed by a last little tidy up for Elan at a small salon in Laihaina. This lady was quick with that broom!

The girls made the boutonierres and bouquets. Don’t they look great?


Anna!

Elan awaits.
Leis for the ceremony.


There was also a butterfly release. But because it was overcast the Monarchs didn’t exactly take off right way. Anna offers one to her nephew.

And another found a warm place to land…



Barkley was unable to attend – something about pets and food service laws and such – but he was represented on each table.

It was a wonderful experience. A HUGE MAHALO NUI LOA goes out to Anna & Elan (and Barkley), The Kim and Feingold Families and the rest of the gang for allowing me to be a part of a very very special part of all of your lives.
