This photo of Mariko encapsulates her and Jeremy's insanely classy-with-a-bite Hawaiian wedding:

But really, you must see the entire set of shots by Hawaii photographer Frank Amodo, which includes portraits that will make you love bamboo even more than you already probably do:

It is. It's Valley of the Temples on Oahu. It is a beautiful picturesque Byodo-In (I think). I like the temples back in HNL, there are lots of different ones… if you like that type of thing I would look around a bit, because I bet this one will be very very busy thanks to Lost (I am a fan too).

Temple Valley is always pretty packed, I wonder if they had the ceremony either before or after it's closed to visitors. I love their photos and this location.
