Happy FIFTH year to my best wedding photos annual post! I’ve been doing these posts every year for the past five years (2019, 2018, 2017, 2016), and boy have I come a long way. Choosing my best Maui wedding photos of 2020 was pretty easy this year. Why? Because, ya know, pandemic and all. …

I remember the nightmares I had leading up to my wedding in 2009. What if no one shows up? What if I don’t fit into my wedding dress? And – probably one of the most common dreams: what if it rains on my wedding day? Here’s the thing: on the grand scale of all the…
If you would have told me a month ago that I would find myself out of a job until June, I would have told you to go fly a kite. Because let’s be honest: business has been good here on Maui! We have some of the best wedding professionals around. Amazing photographers, videographers, planners, venues,…
Back in 2016, my husband Anthony was asked to officiate our friends’ wedding back in Michigan. Anthony, being the people-pleasing awesome guy he is, said absolutely. But here’s the thing: he didn’t know how to officiate a wedding. And then, realizing the gravity of which he had just agreed, he began slowly panicking about what…
