Iris and Ernest // Andaz Maui Wedding

MAY 17, 2015

Iris and Ernest were such a fun couple to work with. Their excitement and love bubbled and burst through every photograph.

Ernest looked absolutely charming in his three-piece gray suite and light pink bow-tie that perfectly matched his bride’s bouquet. Iris was the epitome of bridal beauty in her simple and elegant strapless gown and her matching dainty jewelry. The two were full of so much joy–not even the windy weather could put a damper on their day.

After the ceremony on the beach-front lawn of the Andaz Maui Resort, our newlyweds took to the sand for their first photoshoot as husband and wife. Something I absolutely love about living and working on Maui is the unexpected and magical moments that the island offers. Although we expected the photoshoot to be just the bride and groom, we were blessed with the opportunity to incorporate the first sea turtle the couple had ever seen into some of their photos.

It is moments like these that remind me how unique Maui is and how special it is to take some of life’s most monumental steps surrounded by so much natural beauty.

An Elegant Beach Wedding

MAY 15, 2015

Breanne was the epitome of beach-elegance as she stood in her lace barefoot sandals on the sandy shores of Maluaka Beach with Marc at their intimate beach wedding. As with life and love, the beauty of the event was within the delicate details.

Flowers of lace decorated the straps of our bride’s gown, perfectly framing the long strand of pearls and crystals draped along her spine. The soft vanilla color palette worn by the wedding party gave a dreamlike quality to the day, complimenting the creamy rose orchid florals by Asa Flowers and Na Pua Anuhea Leis.

We were so blessed to be a part of this beautiful day. Thank you, Breanne and Marc, for choosing Anna Kim Photography to help document your Maui wedding day.

A Classy Wedding at Sugar Beach

APR 30, 2015

Sara and Basqui had a classy, island-infused wedding at Sugar Beach this March and we were blessed to be a part of the beautiful occasion. The bride looked absolutely elegant in her strapless, fitted, lace gown and delicately beaded barefoot sandals. Her bridesmaids kept it classy in their silky, black dresses while also embracing the beach and grassy shoreline in similar beaded and bare footwear.

The ladies were not the only ones to bring fashion to the event. The groomsmen showed off their sophistication too, standing beside the groom in matching suits and ties and incorporating a piece of Hawaii with their traditional Kukui leis.

Our associate, Jessica, documented many wonderfully sincere and romantic moments throughout the day. The couple’s friendship and devotion unassumingly shines through the photographs with the natural grace and ease that comes from years of mutual honesty and acceptance. There was also a hint of whimsical fun within the wedding. Playfulness and personalities of the couple and their wedding party color the photographs and make this wedding a particularly joyful and sweet day to reminisce about.

Dena and Mark’s Charming Maui Wedding

APR 28, 2015

Some loves are like wildflowers–they are beautiful, unique, and grow with fire-like vivacity. Dena and Mark seemed to share that subtle yet brilliant type of love.

It was such a joy to be a part of Dena and Mark’s exquisite wedding day on the southern shores of Maui. Their gentle care, tenderness, and love for one another was undeniable and made every photograph blossom with sweetness and sincerity.

The couple said their “I Dos” with swaying palm trees and the Pacific behind them and friends and family in front of them. They stood on the grassy, ocean-front lawn of White Orchid Wedding’s Beach House under a bamboo chuppah dripping with dreamy pearl-white, pastel, and blushing florals.

They looked absolutely elegant and charming. Bride Dena exuded all of the understated, chic grace of her high-necked, sleeveless gown. She wore a chestnut colored, jeweled sash at her waste–adding detail to her creamy, pleated wedding dress. Her groom, Mark, mirrored his bride’s soft style in his three-piece, stone-gray suit.

After the wedding, we snuck off to a nearby field full of bright wildflowers for a photoshoot. Their poise and tender affection was inspiring. It was such a privilege to photograph them. Congratulations, Dena and Mark!

Written by: Nicole Brooke Rosen

Dreamy blush and cream florals lead this stunning California bride toward her groom and framed the intimate wedding as the soft sounds of a harp gently played in the background. It was heaven on earth.

Lauren was breathtaking. Her lace-trimmed veil cascaded down, meeting a waterfall of tulle and lace that began at her sweetheart, strapless neckline, and ended in a gorgeous, frothy wave behind her. Her groom, Chris, was debonair in his beige suit accented by a single white rose boutonniere.

The two looked incredible, immeasurably in love and blissfully ecstatic. Their delight shines through their photographs with such sweet sincerity. It was such a joy to be around so much happiness and tenderness. Thank you so much Lauren and Chris, for letting Anna Kim Photography be a part of your amazing wedding day.

Susan + Jordie // White Orchid Beach House

APR 19, 2015

Wedding Ceremony + Brunch: White Orchid Beach House
Wedding Coordinator: Kendall Higashino of White Orchid Wedding
Florals: Dellables
Officiant: Reverend Valentino Rosete
Wedding Caterer: Catering From Soup to Nuts
Written by: Nicole Brooke Rosen

Looking back on the photographs of Susan and Jordie’s Maui wedding, I am struck with a deeper understanding about the heart of a long-lasting love. After all, this couple has spent the last twelve years developing their relationship and yet still manage to have that new-love sparkle in their eyes when they look at one another. A love like that is worth exploring.

Island inspiration blended with an organic, rustic flair at the talented and creative hands of Kendall Higashino of White Orchid Wedding. The wedding was beautiful and intimate, with the bride and groom as the only two there. Susan wore a long-sleeved, lace, A-line wedding dress that gently flowed just past her knees. She walked arm in arm with her stylish groom who donned a sleek, gray, three-piece suit. A cluster of King Protea served as a simple and stunning bouquet, echoing the majesty of the protea table decor and succulent surrounded cake topper situated regally on the naked wedding cake.

There was no fluff, no excess, just two people embodying the pure and steady heartbeat of a lasting love. Susan and Jordie showed me that what keeps a relationship’s heart pulsating is simple and pure. Treasure that romantic spark. Foster that new-love adoration. Allow that long-time friendship to course through and serve as the heartbeat’s metronome. Live simply and simply love.
