The Bride and Groom
When Young and Briana reached out to me about their Moli’i Gardens Wedding I was so excited! Their intimate wedding was planned so intentionally and they wanted to prioritize their time together on their day!
Young and Bri celebrated with their closest family and friends and it could not have gone any more perfectly. They skipped all the traditions that didn’t bring joy to their day and made time for the things that were important to them! It was such a gorgeous intimate wedding at Moli’i Gardens.
A few hours into the reception it started to rain. I found Young and dancing in the rain together by themselves. It was downpouring so my camera could only take so many photos but I was able to capture a few shots of their rain dance together. I think this moment describes how their day went perfectly. It was so sweet and special to witness!
Kualoa Ranch Venue – Moli’i Gardens
Young and Briana’s wedding venue was beyond gorgeous! Kualoa Ranch Moli’i Gardens is one of my favorite venues in Kualoa Ranch. This outdoor wedding venue includes a two-tiered garden setting surrounded by an 800-year-old Hawaiin fish pond.
The ceremony space overlooking the water is so peaceful and beautiful! This venue has a grand staircase leading to the ceremony space which is so unique. It was a jaw-dropping moment when Bri descended down the staircase before walking down the aisle!
The reception space features an open-air cottage, dance floor, and string lights. You get the beautiful mountain views and palm trees surrounding the space. There is really something special about this Hawaii wedding venue and each time I shoot here I fall even more in love with it!
Young and Bri took extra time to have portraits together. Their timeline was perfect and gave us about an hour to capture portraits all over the venue. There are endless amounts of beautiful spaces to take wedding portraits. It was so much fun shooting their portraits and adventuring around the venue. In addition, this gave them some time to soak in their wedding day just the two of them!
Outstanding images!
