Here is a stunning real wedding shared to us by Absolutely Loved Photography. Couple Michael and Alison were married at the Ko’olau Golf
Course. Ko’olau Golf Course is a famous and elite golf course located on the island of Oahu. It made for a gorgeous location for the couple’s intimate ceremony.  The reception was held at Kalaha Resort, which made for the perfect location for bride and groom to take beach photos.

Alison’s stunning mermaid styled dress was designed by the bride herself, with the help of Gloria Grady. We love when a bride is able to have the exact dress she always envisioned herself wearing on her big day. The Rolls Royce the couple arrived to the reception in added a classic touch to their overall theme. Congratulations Alison and Michael on a beautiful Hawaiian wedding!

Mary and Ben met in New York City, when Mary was working as a receptionist at a company where Ben was the IT guy. One day when Mary needed help Ben showed up, and I guess you can say the rest is history. When he proposed, there was no other place that Mary wanted to get married other than the island of Kauai, where she grew up.  As they began planning their destination wedding they fell in love with the Hukilau Restaurant on Kauai and planned their gorgeous outdoor ceremony on the beach. The stunning tree decorated with simple white orchid strands and blue gray ocean were the perfect romantic backdrop for photographer Penny Dinn.

Mary and Ben wanted to surprise their guests, many of which had travelled all the way from New York, so right after dinner their guests were treated to a full Polynesian review. Drummers, hula dancers and a traditional fire dancer entertained the crowd and everyone ended up joining in the fun and learning how to sway their hips. As the couple danced the night away, we have to admit that our very favorite part of this Kauai wedding was the hand-drawn cake topper lovingly constructed by the Best Man and that completely conveyed the personality and joy of this awesome couple.

Congratulations Mary and Ben!
