What's an island inspired wedding without some COLOR! After all, Hawaii IS officially known as the Rainbow State, and for this fun couple, color = happiness.
Stay tuned for more photos from Carissa & Mike's October Lanikuhonua wedding!
Happy Weekend!
It's amazing sometimes, what brings couples together, especially when they reside in different cities, on opposite sides of the continent. That was the case for Danielle and Arash, both waiting for a delayed flight that would unexpectedly have them chatting to pass the time away. When their flight was finally ready to board, it was a sure sign when Danielle gave up her First Class seat to sit with Arash, who was traveling in Coach, to continue the conversation they had started hours before... and the rest is history!
So it would only seem fitting that these two would jump on a plane to fly to the Hawaiian islands for an intimate celebration. Their requests were simple, but everything had to be perfect in every way:
A private venue (Lanikuhonua)
A Meaningful ceremony, customized with personal vows
Hawaiian Slack Key Guitarist...
Amazing photography (Visionari)
Perfect Sunset Views
A Private Oceanside Table, Set for Two (Designs by Hemingway)
An island inspired Gourmet Dinner (Memoirs Hawaii)
It was truly an evening that, in Arash's words, was perfectly simple and simply perfect.
Congratulations, Danielle & Arash!
