Maui Destination Wedding

Junko + Kentaro {Pink Maui Destination Wedding at Makena Golf & Beach Club}

Every state has its own symbols including flags, nicknames, animals, and flowers, but did you know that each Hawaiian island is represented by its own official color? Maui’s color is pink, and the island was just right for the romantic destination wedding of Junko and Kentaro.

Although this wedding featured shades of pink, it did not look overly feminine or frilly.  The wooden accents throughout the decor gave the whole scene balance. Plus the stunning landscape - all the different types of greenery, the glistening Pacific Ocean, and even the reddish brown of the Pu’u Olai Cinder Cone in the background - created the perfect natural canvas. 

No detail was overlooked. The live music, lounge area, and hanging picture frames were added to make the guests feel more comfortable. Every single element worked together to keep the ambience fun, fresh, and elegant. 

Junko radiated in a delicate lace dress with jewels that sparkled almost as bright as her eyes. Kentaro looked sharp in his blue suit and the smile did not leave his face. With all their loved ones by their sides, they came together as one under the Maui sun, and I don’t think they could have done it any better!

Maui Wedding Photographer : Sunrise Bridal Couture inspiration at Beautiful Hawaiian beach.

Stunning romantic flowy carol hanna wedding bridal gown oahu donny zavala workshop

Absolutely over the moon to share this drop gorgeous styled shoot curated to perfection by adorable Lucia of @utterlyengaged and an amazing group of artist for the #donnyzavalaworkshop I attended earlier this year. There's no words to describe how insanely beautiful was this sunrise shoot since minute one, Makapuu beach welcomed us with stunning pink skies that left us holding our breath to let the calm breeze of the ocean touch our skins, its was a truly beautiful experience to be surrounded with such amazing photographers and artist from so far away to capture this moment.  I am a true believer that every wedding should be as epic as it can get and everything about this inspiration was just exquisite from the delicate flowing gown of Carol Hannah’s to the lovely craftsmanship of the floral designs of Catalina Neal I'm forever grateful for this day.

From Lucia | CREATIVE DIRECTOR & STYLIST Utterly Engaged :

β€œLike a wild flower; she spent her days, allowing herself to grow, not many knew of her struggle, but eventually all; knew of her light.” – Nikki Rowe

The entire shoot was concepted from these words. The Mood: raw, overgrowth, abundant, magical, imperfect, discovery. The Color Story: dusty mauve, corals, lilac, fern, charcoal. From there the entire shoot becomes a journey of discovery. With open hands, and surrendering to the creative process, everything falls into place in a raw and organic manner that is more beautiful than I could ever imagine.
