CONGRATULATIONS COLLEEN & JONATHAN! <3
2022 WEDDING HIGHLIGHT | PHOTOS BY BIANCA PHOTOGRAPHY
A lovely wedding celebration with an ocean front ceremony and lively reception at the Kahala Resort on the east side of the island of O’ahu.
Hawaii is renowned for its captivating scenery, stunning sunsets, and breathtaking beaches, making it an idyllic destination for couples to exchange vows. Last fall, we had the pleasure of coordinating the wedding of Colleen and Johnathan! A remarkable couple who met and fell in love during their college years! The lovebirds celebrated their special day in style at the luxurious Kahala Resort, sharing their joy with family and friends from near and far! :-)
As the ceremony was set to begin in the early afternoon, getting ready began bright and early at around 4:30 am! After a few hours of getting her hair and makeup done, the bride was ready for her first look with her groom. But, of course, not before our staff made sure that she was picture-perfect!
If you're ever not sure how your veil looks or if you need assistance with putting on your dress (as beadwork, corsets, and zippers can be difficult!), always let your coordinator know so that they can assist you! Our goal is to help you have the most stress-free and enjoyable day possible!
Colleen and Jonathan had their first look at the lobby of the Kahala Resort. With no one else in the lobby and the grand, colorful chandelier hanging above them, the couple enjoyed an intimate first look with each other on their special day! Following the first look and a few family photos, it was time for the ceremony!
C & J's ocean front ceremony was the perfect combination of classic beauty with a tropical flair! A sweet white arch adorned with white florals and greenery stood as the ceremony arbor, while white rose petals lined the aisle.
The ceremony was filled with so many sweet moments, especially the personal vows. As college sweethearts, they expressed their gratitude for their shared values, compatibility, and unwavering support for one another. It is a bond that will only continue to be strengthened over the years to come!
Following the ceremony, the couple and their guests enjoyed a cocktail hour before celebrating the rest of their special day in the Waialae Ballroom! Then the rest of the afternoon was filled with laughter, dancing, eating, and just so much smiling as the couple and their family and friends celebrated Colleen and Johnthan's happily ever after!
