Aloha! This week I am back on the island of Maui and enjoying the venue scouting for our couples! Today’s secluded spot is La Pérouse, name for the french navigator Jean-François Galaup comte de Pérouse.

For as long as I can remember, and probably before my time as well, rose petals have been associated with love, romance, and beauty! So what better way to enhance a surprise, destination proposal with a large outline of a heart made with rose petals on one of the beautiful Hawaiian beaches?

Located on the South shore of the Island of Oahu is Waialae Beach Park. Its right next to the Kahala Hotel and Resort and Waialae Country Club. This hidden gem is one of the best places to get married in Honolulu and about 3 miles east (a 10 minute drive)…

Located on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii is Ehukai Beach, also known as “Banzai Pipeline.” This beach is famous for holding the Pipeline Masters Surf Contest during the winter months, is a great local surf spot,

It had been quite a crazy day for me personally, to put things mildly. (I won’t go into any of the insane details, but trust me, it was crazy.) I felt the rush of adrenaline just pounding through my veins shooting a burst of much needed energy through me!

It’s now officially the holidays in Hawaii! Thanksgiving is over and Christmas is now properly before us. What does that mean? It means that it was now a fitting time to plot our next project; as our Media Director and I sat down to scheme for this photoshoot…

I feel like in the wedding industry it is more the women imagining, dreaming, and scheming; but I think it’s time to jump start the conversation by reflecting it at point A: the proposal!

Hawaii is home to many different ethnicities and cultures. What has always been so precious to me about Hawaii is how we have married such a variety of cultures and foods together!

Eureka! I finally did it! I’ve been scheming over this project for weeks! The rose bud ice cubes were fabulous! Why am I so excited about flowers frozen in ice? It’s exactly that, beautiful…
