Getting Ready


Mackenzie and Brady took their time getting ready for their intimate wedding on Kaua'i separately, enjoying the views of Hanalei Bay from their room. They both wanted a simple, elegant evening focused on their love for each other, with Kauai's beautiful mountains and greenery as the back drop.

First Look

Before the ceremony, Brady and Mackenzie chose to do a private first look on the terrace of 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay. Admiring each other and taking a moment of silence together, breathing in the anticipation of the ceremony.

Ceremony

Just them and a few of their closet friends, Brady and Mackenzie shared their vows on the lawn of Fort Alexander at 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay. Taking the time to express the depth and significance of the union they are making. The intimacy of the day really allowed for the emotion to flow, there was not a dry eye by the end of the ceremony.

When a couple really wants stunning photos to be a priority, we bake in time for creative freedom. This can mean running around the venue or nearby beaches looking for beautiful back drops, light, and little details that are significant to the couple and feed into the storyline of their love.
