Hawaii Wedding Photographer – JW Marriot Ihilani – Bouquet toss

Check out this bouquet toss at a recent destination wedding on Oahu.  This striking wedding reception was held at the JW Marriot Ihilani in Ko’olina on Oahu.   Hawaii Wedding Reception Ihilani on Oahu Wedding bouquet tosses can be one of the most exciting parts of the wedding reception. You know how competitive girls can be!  At my own wedding there was a tiny bit of blood shed between two friends trying to snatch the bouquet out of the air.  One could definitely describe some bouquet tosses as a full contact sport!  This one, however, was impressive because of the height this Hawaii wedding guest gained in her successful attempt to catch the bouquet.  This girl has skills!

 

 

Oahu Wedding Photographer – Waikiki Wedding

We first met Rachael and Reginald a few months before their Oahu wedding when we photographed their engagement  portraits at the JW Marriot Ihilani Resort and Spa in Ko’olina, Hawaii.  We had a great time getting to know this couple and were so happy to be able to photograph their destination wedding.

The bride and groom had a Hawaii garden wedding at Haiku Gardens in Kaneohe in their Tahitian Chapel.  Rachael wore a gorgeous satin wedding dress with rouching and emboidery on the bodice and a mermaid train with covered buttons on the back.  Red satin high heels added a pop of color to her champagne colored gown. This elegant look was complimented by a deep red rose hair clip in her hair.  She looked absolutely radiant.  Reginald looked handsome in his tan colored suit and a complimenting dark red necktie.

After the Hawaii garden wedding ceremony at Haiku Gardens the couple and wedding guests headed to Honolulu for their Waikiki Beach wedding reception.  The wedding reception was held at Coconut Club at Tiki’s Grill and Bar directly on the Waikiki strip.  Tiki’s Grill and Bar is centrally located in Waikiki Beach, which is convenient for guests especially for Hawaii destination weddings. The Coconut Club is located on the 21st floor and has amazing views of Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach.  This Waikiki wedding reception had a Moroccan theme with beautiful flowers, linens, and decor by the ever so talented Designs By Hemingway.  The centerpieces were colorful Moroccan lanterns surrounded by bright roses and orchids.  The linens were exotically patterned with magentas, oranges and purples.  As the grand centerpiece to this Moroccan themed wedding reception Designs By Hemingway constructed an impressive a towering arrangement of roses, drift wood, and feathers that was a beautiful focal point in the reception.

Hawaii Wedding Photographer – Ihilani Resort Black White and Green Wedding

A day like this only comes along once every hundred years, and for this special couple their wedding day on 10.10.10 was, more importantly, once in a lifetime!  Thirty nine thousand couples started the rest of their lives together on this special date, but our Hawaii Destination Wedding couple came all the way from Australia to have their wedding dreams realized in a gorgeous black, white, and green themed wedding.  The Ihilani Resort and Spa was the ideal ocean front wedding venue for this stylish and modern Hawaii wedding.

This Black and White wedding dress and bridesmaid dress were custom made to fit the brides ideal wedding dress.  The wedding dress was a white sweetheart cut corset top with a ball gown skirt. A black sash with white lining accented the bodice with the back of the dress featuring black covered buttons that actually functioned requiring some effort from her maid of honor and a trusty button hook.

The entire wedding party prepared at their hotel in Waikiki Beach at the Outrigger Waikiki. Once everyone had their hair and makeup done and we all dressed, a charter bus took the wedding party and all of their guests to the wedding on the leeward side of Oahu.

Green wedding details brought a pop of color to this black and white themed wedding.  The groom’s boutonnière  was a green rose with black ribbon accented by thin white ribbon.  The cocktail tables had an arrangement of green roses, hydrangeas, and a few white flowers in a square black vase keeping with the sleek modern feel of this wedding.  The bride’s bouquet was made of striking green calla lilies wrapped in black satin ribbon and accented by white pins.

This black, white and green themed wedding had personalized M&Ms that said “mahalo” and the bride and grooms’ initials “n + d.”  The lower case monogram that was used throughout the wedding design details is a modern style twist on the classic monogram.

This groom and his best man were so great to photograph. We just love how they were able to be themselves and joke around with each other during the portraits after the wedding ceremony at the JW Marriot Ihilani Resort and Spa in Ko’olina on the East coast of Oahu. We had a such a great time with this whole wedding party as they celebrated in the swanky Presidential Suite overlooking the whole resort.
