Kat and Bliss even brought their own prop, the LGBTQ+ Pride flag, and got cozy underneath it for a few sweet shots.

A romantic O’ahu wedding with two grooms, a beachside ceremony, & jumping the “groomstick”

A beachside ceremony, ceremonial leis adorning killer fashion, and two grooms ready to make it official on the southern shore of the island of O’ahu. This is a wedding to savor. White, blue, and silver roses adorned the island venue that was made even more magical with perfect island weather. Devon and Ricky had romantic and funny vows that were set to a song rhyme.

Don your beach hat and sunnies and bask in the bright day and even brighter love of these two grooms and their Hawaii wedding…

A chill & magical Hawaiian wedding with rainbows, surfboards, and leis

Elena and Andrei’s wedding was planned in only a of couple weeks.

Two film lovers had a Hawaiian Jurassic Park wedding at the REAL film location

Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom comes out today! We’ve got a Jurassic Park wedding that took place in one of the REAL film locations: “We didn't even know we wanted a themed (or destination) wedding until I was browsing venue sites and came across Kualoa Ranch in Hawaii. When I first saw the photos of the sweeping valley and dramatic mountains I laughed and told my partner that it looked like Jurassic Park…then we googled it…and it WAS Jurassic Park! Well, at least a few of the filming locations. We knew right then and there that we were going to Hawaii…”
