BAD WEATHER THIS WEEKEND, SHOULD CLEAR UP SOON It’s raining almost everywhere in Hawaii this weekend. It started to get bad on Friday, right after my last wedding for the week. Luckily I had zero weddings this weekend. I’ve been flash flood warnings throughout the day, so I’ve been hunkered […]

Alright, before I get your hopes of seeing some couple decked out like pirates, let me pop your bubble and say, “I did have a wedding on Halloween. It was just a normal wedding.” The wedding took place at the Halekoa, a military hotel that is actually very very nice. […]
Good thing I have zero weddings this weekend! This storm came out of nowhere! We also have a severe thunderstorm and funnel clouds warning….again! What gives! Crazy crazy crazy. Actually, I’m off till November 5th. It’s perfect timing as it allows me to catch up some paperwork. Anyway, I’m outta […]
This question is probably “thee” most common I’ve received from inquiring brides, and to be quite honest, probably the vaguest as well. This question can be interpreted a few different ways. Here are my answers to every single variable that I can think of. I’ve also reworked the question to […]
Today, an unsolicited flyer arrived in the mail from Hawaii World Class, a bridal expo company, advertising their 31st Hawaii Wedding Expo. They were looking for companies like mine to buy booths.

Every now and then I google ” weddings” and hit the news category button to see if there’s anything interesting happening in my industry. I usually get an uninteresting story about a celeb running off to get secretly married, or about yet another bride who divorced her husband a few […]

Affordable Hawaii Wedding Packages, great photo and video services, easy and fun planning
For the men who serve, if you have a Mess Uniform, seriously consider it, at least for the ceremony. You can change to something more casual later, for the beach pictures. The mess uniform IS awesome. For the women who serve, the wedding dress still works better than the Mess uniform. Just my opinion. And, thank you all for your service.
Did an awesome wedding at THE POINT yesterday. This location is great for small and large weddings. It's private and on the west shore of Oahu. I always recommend the point if a couple wants an archway.
In the State of Hawaii, you can't have chairs or an arch on the beach. That's the law. I don't agree with it because it doesn't make any sense because if you're not getting married, and bbqing at the beach, you can put up a tent (which is like an arch), and you can have beach chairs, any amount. Our State is stupid, what can I say.
So, if you want an arch and chairs on the beach, you are stuck with booking a property that is right on the beach. Cheapest one out there - THE POINT on PARADISE COVE.
This is probably the 1st bride that got her make-up and hair done in my house. She's the fiance of my good friend, and they were staying here for a week.
I have to say, my bay windows work out really well for the stylist.
Thanks! The floors are Legarri Epoxy. I have an ocean them in my house. If you look at the very back, you can see my fake epoxy beach.
Wow, love your floors!
Love the floors bro
Probably some of the most impressive make-up I’ve seen in the past 20 years I’ve been doing this.
