Scott & Kelly ~ Merrimans, Kapalua Wedding

Aihara Visuals — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 22:38:30 +0000

Last year I had the privilege of photographing so many fun events! I am a bit behind on blog posting as this new year has started off with tons of fun new clients and a lot of catching up to do. I really wanted to share Scott & Kelly’s wedding from the end of last year. They were such a sweet couple to work with. They tied the knot on a warm, sunny day on Kapalua Bay Beach. They were surrounded by a lovely group of family & friends as the vowed their love to each other. I was a beautiful event. They stood in a circle of tropical flowers & proteas while the sun lit up their smiles. After the ceremony and a few portraits we headed up to the deck at Merrimans Restaurant where they had a private reception. The fire pit was lit, there was live entertainment & cocktails, the guests were relaxing ( with a touch of signing & dancing the hula =) )… it was a beautiful evening. Thank you so much Scott & Kelly for having us there to capture your day. We wish you many more fun adventures as husband & wife!

Ian & Courtney ~ Po’olenalena Beach

Aihara Visuals — Fri, 16 Sep 2011 19:00:57 +0000

Ian & Courtney had an intimate beach ceremony, just the two of them. They picked a perfect day, beautiful weather, huge waves in the background and such a vibrant sunset . The musician played for them as they had their first dance as husband & wife on the beach. I loved their mellow vibe… the wedding had to be relocated from Makena cove due to large surf, but they were so happy and in love it didn’t even phase them! They went out for pizza after the wedding and announced their marriage to their friends later that evening by changing their relationship status on Facebook. Such a cute couple! Congratulations to the bride and groom, and thanks you for having us capture this beautiful moment in your life, and we wish you many, many more! Many thanks to Sasha for her help.
