2022 WEDDING HIGHLIGHT | PHOTOS BY DEREK WONG PHOTOGRAPHY

Earlier this year, in the month of May, we had the honor of coordinating the beautiful wedding of Nicole & Chad! This lovely couple tied the knot at the stunning Kahala Resort, located on the east side of the island of O’ahu. With a gorgeous outdoor ceremony on the Plumeria Grove and a “sparkling” reception in the Maile Ballroom, Nicole & Chad’s wedding was filled with smiles, happy tears, and lots of laughter!

The day started in the bride’s suite as Nicole and her bridal party began getting ready for the big day! A few hours later the photographer arrived to begin capturing “getting ready” photos, as well as detailed shots of the wedding jewelry, stationery, dress, and etc. During this time the flowers for the wedding party also arrived, allowing the gorgeous bouquet filled with white florals and greenery to be included in the photography of the wedding details!

Tip: If you’d like specific wedding items as well as your florals to be photographed, we highly recommend communicating this to your coordinator so that they can ensure that the timing of the arrival of the photographer and florist will give you enough time to capture all the photos that you want!

A few more hours later, the Bride, Groom, and their wedding parties were fully dressed and ready for the couple’s first look! Nicole and Chad saw each other for the first time that day on a popular first look spot at the Kahala hotel, the stunning lobby staircase that has a backdrop of greenery and orchids. It was a truly beautiful moment! <3

Following the touching first look and wedding party photos it was finally time for the ceremony! The bride made her way down the aisle to an acoustic version of “Can’t Help Falling in Love” then Nicole and Chad exchanged their vows and sealed the deal with a kiss! The couple exited the aisle to IZ’s rendition of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” while their guests celebrated their marriage by showering the newlyweds with flower petals!

And as there are always amazing vendors working behind the scenes to help us deliver a fantastic wedding to each of our couples, though they may not all be pictured, we want to thank all of the people who have helped to put on this wonderful wedding!
