AMOUR...an Elopement on the South Shores of Maui

January 25, 2025 in Maui Weddings

Phillipe, Delphine and Diana Eden made the long journey across the globe from Marsielle, France to Maui, Hawaii. They all loved being under the warm golden sun that is found in Hawaii and the family expressed that there was something special in the breezes on Maui’s south facing shores. I told them it was the Aloha Spirit that can still be felt when everyone lands on the island of Maui.

Delphine & Phillipe originally wanted a ceremony in French and Susan with Aloha Weddings was dong her best to accommodate them. The couple settled on the soft, gentle delivery of Wai, an officiant & celebrant, who resides on Maui. Wai customized the ceremony to suit the couple’s cultural difference and it was a touching time for us all. The Maui backdrop always makes for gorgeous photos. The family had a sweet dynamic between them that can be seen in every photo. Merci to Delphine, Phillipe & Diana Eden for playing on Po’olenalena Beach with me under the Maui golden light. It was an unforgettable time.

A Bit of Off Roading Makes for the Best Wedding

August 18, 2024 in Maui Weddings

Makai & Ola are both born & raised on Maui and were able to pull off a beautiful wedding tucked down in the depths of the jungle. Huelo is known for its rainy weather and strong breezes but for their special day it stayed warm & sunny. They were surrounded by their amazing children, friends & family.

I met Makai on an off-roading trip down to Kanaio and it was ever so fitting that on his wedding day we off-roaded down to the ocean cliffs. It was so stunning and their energy was filled with love, laughs and total sweetness

It was my complete honor to be a part of their wedding day and I am forever grateful for these two sharing their love with all of us.

A North Shore Wedding on Oahu at Ohia Farms

March 08, 2024 in Oahu Weddings

Being invited as the photographer for D & Janice’s wedding was a dream come true for me. I have been planting the seed for quite sometime with my partner Eddy to hop over to Oahu and join the wedding scene there. As the media team for this increible wedding, Eddy & I grabbed our cameras and headed to the stunning North Shore of Oahu. D & Janice had a warm and fun approach to their wedding. They were very hands on and wanted to do most of the planning. They chose a beautiful venue on the North Shore of Oahu that overlooked Waimea Bay. Ohia Farms offered the most epic views off of their ceremony site of the Bay and the reception was held around their crystal clear pool.

Everything came together smoothly as DeeDee and her team at Ohia Farms set the stage. Kimo & his catering team creating some amazing appetizers & a delicious buffet. The officiant Kelehua Kawai of Marry Me Hawaii held the most touching Hawaiiana ceremony for the couple that will be with all of us for some time to come.

D & Janice had a strong bond and the love they expressed for one another could be felt throughout their wedding. They also had a ton of fun moments that kept everyone smiling all day.

It was a great collaborative day for Eddy Nova & I as we were the media team together. Keep your eye out for his wedding films, my photography and other goodies we are brewing up. We are hoping around Maui & Oahu these days capturing weddings just like this one.
