2022 WEDDING HIGHLIGHT | PHOTOS BY BIANCA PHOTOGRAPHY

A very sweet and intimate wedding celebration at the Kahala Resort on the east side of the island of O’ahu.

Last September, we had the honor of coordinating the wedding for Theola & Alex! This lovely couple began their special day with a Chinese Tea Ceremony in their hotel suite. Family & Friends were gathered in the morning to celebrate the couple’s union with this special cultural tradition. After the Tea Ceremony the couple went to their separate hotel rooms to get ready for their first look!

Though we often see “getting ready” photos include the wedding party, for couples who opt not to have a wedding party but still want these sweet “getting ready” pictures, consider including your parents! These photos of Theola & Alex’s parents helping them prepare for the wedding show the love & support their parents have for their future together and truly make for such sweet photos to look back on!

After some help from the couple’s parents, Theola & Alex were ready for their first look! The Kahala Lobby’s grand staircase makes for such an iconic first look photo location and was the perfect spot for these two to see each other dressed up as Bride & Groom for the very first time! Not only is the staircase of the lobby a stunning photo location, but the ENTIRE lobby area of the Kahala Resort makes for a gorgeous backdrop for these pre-ceremony photos!

After the First Look and Bride & Groom portraits it was finally time for the ceremony at the Plumeria Grove! Surrounded by their family & friends Theola & Alex exchanged their vows and sealed their promise with a kiss!

Following the ceremony the couple and their guests made their way over to Kahala O Ke Kai site for their cocktail hour and the reception. The rest of the night was filled with great food, heartfelt toasts, and just so many smiles as Theola & Alex celebrated their marriage with their closest family and friends!

As it always takes many hard working vendors to work together to execute a wedding day, we truly want to thank all of the wonderful vendors that had a hand in helping us give Theola & Alex the lovely wedding they deserved!
