Here are some images from Cassie and Craig’s Paradise Cove wedding. Like Jenny and Chris, Cassie and Craig hired me when I was still living in Los Angeles — when I had no idea that I was moving to Hawaii. Needless to say, it was a nice surprise to them because they didn’t have to fly me out to Hawaii. 🙂
I mentioned in Cassie and Craig’s teaser that there was a surprise, which I’ll reveal shortly.
This was my first time shooting at Paradise Cove and, coincidentally, I was a groomsman in my cousin’s wedding there just a week prior. While I don’t usually scout wedding locations, I got to take a quick peek at Cassie and Craig’s wedding location ahead of time. Of course, I really only saw the lawn, so it didn’t make much of a difference. I actually get more excited about shooting at places that I’m not familiar with, as it allows me to view a place with a fresh perspective.
They got ready at the Ihilani JW Marriott in Ko Olina, and had their ceremony on the lawn at Paradise Cove.
Cassie did a wonderful job sewing her bridesmaids’ dresses, as well as creating re-usable bags and coin purses. Who has time to plan a wedding and sew?! That’s talent, if you ask me! 🙂
After a nice ceremony and a lot of laughs during the reception, Cassie surprised Craig by dancing hula for him for the first time. The expression on his face was priceless!
I hope you enjoy these images as much as I enjoyed capturing them. Leave a comment and give your best wishes to this lovely new couple!
Beautiful wedding under a beautiful sky. 🙂 Thanks for letting me be a part of it! I’m still amazed by how much DIY projects you took up for this, Cassie! Hope to see you guys again soon! 🙂
