The simple phrase "destination wedding" conjures up all kinds of crazy gorgeous images, from barefoot brides to glistening ocean waves. And what better place to make all of those dreamy visions come to life than Hawaii, a state that hosts its fair share of stunning soirees?

That's more than the ideal location for a wedding that is not only personal, but...
"Hawaii"
I happened to grow up next door to a couple that took a week-long vacation to Maui every year. A week-long vacation that included everything from sunning on the pristine beaches to snorkeling in the crystal blue waters. They loved it... and still do. So, to say I've had Maui on my mind since I was a young pre-teen would NOT be an exaggeration. In fact, since my days here at SMP, my love of this enchanted wonderland has only gotten stronger. I mean, take a look at this gorgeous affair...
Hoo Films, I love you. I love you more than I could ever put into words. Because this stunning Honolulu film? It has seriously made my week... and many more to come. But that's what tends to happen when I meet two of the sweetest cuties ever and get to spend my day wrapped up in their gorgeous seaside affair. It's a mesmerizing look into a wedding that is all about the pretty and all about the LOVE... and those vows ("You have the...
In a time where there are no longer hard and fast rules for wedding style and where weddings run the gamut in terms of fashion, locale and overall sense of design; the one thing that still holds true is a day completely infused with a couple's personality will always reign Queen. It shows through in the simplest of details like this Bride walking down the aisle in her mother's wedding dress or a more grand concepts like the citrus theme that was a beautiful nod to the Bride's parent's...

And since Maui is kind of made for marrying, this stunning affair captured by Joanna Tano is (obviously) a serious bundle of perfection. It's breathtaking scenery meets beautiful blooms from...
I think it's quite possible that if you looked up dream destination in the dictionary, an image of Haiku Mill would pop into view. And that view would be filled with lush greenery, beautifully aged stone and sparkling chandeliers. That's Maui for ya. Belle Destination Weddings and ...
My very own big day was a seaside soiree with a touch of tradition, so it should be no surprise that I fell head over heels in love with this beauty captured by Liga Photography. It's dripping in that old Florida charm that never fails to leave me speechless, perfectly curated details from MMD Event and of course enough l.o.v.e to fill up that gorgeous blue ocean.
When I first laid eyes on this stunner of a shoot at Travaasa Hana, I nearly had to pick my jaw off the floor. No exaggeration, it's just that gorgeous. But when I saw that the talents of LaFleur Weddings and Events, Sara Donaldson, Teresa Sena Design and...
When I first took a peek at this sweet e-session from Anna Kim Photography, I swore up and down that it was a photo shoot. Complete with models and stylists. Come to find out, this is just what real life looks like for these two soon to be newlyweds. Gorgeous is their norm, and it has me biting at the bit to see just how gorgeous their big day turns out. Thankfully I have...
