Congratulations to Karen & Javier on the most Beautiful & Loving wedding a photographer could ever photograph!

What a privilege to be a part of this sweet, sweet wedding! With Karen & Javier both in the flower business in Florida, they had planned for their own wedding in Hawaii to be loaded with the most beautiful flowers & NO ONE was disappointed! I guess 30 boxes of flowers were flown in directly from South America just days before the event & the couple & their professional flower friends all jumped into the mix to process the flowers & create the masterpieces that they created!

And on the day of the wedding those masterpieces were everywhere! I literally have never seen some of the roses that they had made into centerpieces & bouquets & Karen shines even brighter holding hers! The wedding location was just above Lahaina (so despite the hurt that still exists from the Lahaina Fires) the celebration was in full force & mother nature provided soft clouds for the entire day,

EXCEPT at sunset where it burst out through the clouds creating ten minutes of extraordinary golden light & a joy on the the bride & grooms faces that was overwhelming!

(Story time!) So something happened I have never seen before & so genuine & beautiful & pure! For context, the bride has Mexican heritage! When we went to the beach park for sunset, we walked past this group of some Mexicans celebrating & they all cheered for the B&G! We went & did all the sunset shots & on the way back we had to walk past the group who all were having so much fun with the music jamming! Someone in the group yelled  for the bride to throw her bouquet & she said “YES”! All the ladies all gathered & Karen faked once & then threw her wedding bouquet to a total stranger. The girl who caught it was SO INCREDIBLY HAPPY & had a smile from ear to ear. Karen went & hugged her & told her to keep it. The girl was stunned! What a beautiful & selfless moment to give your wedding bouquet to a total stranger!

The rest of the wedding was equally stunning with amazing speeches by their friends & family, lots of happy tears & hugs as everyone celebrated. The B&G walked out in a sky of bubbles as they drove off at the end of the night!

Congrats to these two on such a gorgeous wedding to be a part of!

 

Enjoy! Tad
