I was honored to assist this beautiful family in a vow renewal this morning at Keoneloa Beach (aka Shipwrecks) fronting the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Poipu. Keana Willis of Luna Kai Photography captured these images.

While Shipwreck Beach can seem crowded in the afternoons and evenings, it's usually quiet and lovely in the early morning hours.

For those couples who have others in their party who might like to get "styled" before the big event, brides maids, grooms gals, mothers of the bride/groom, etc., don't forget to ask them if they'd like to be included in your styling appointment.

I've got lots of Hair and Makeup Stylists listed on my website, including the Artists Co. (Venue, the Hardwood Forest at Na Aina Kai in Kilauea.)

Don’t get left behind on the wedding day!

It happens time and time again; bridesmaids wanting to get added on the day of the wedding! Avoid regret and make sure you’re on our schedule so that you don’t have to worry and can relax and enjoy the day’s festivities. Trust us we’re worth it!!

I'm a humanist celebrant, meaning a minister of humanist values. Many people ask, what are humanist values? Here is a neat graphic that shows a nice overview of a humanist mindset.

Of course we are far more loving and kind than just a list of 10 commitments toward humanity, but it's a handy graphic showing the personal and collective goals of people like me and maybe you!

I love performing weddings at Hilton Garden Inn on Kauai, since it's right across the bay from my own condo.

Great central location, especially if everyone in your wedding party is staying there. Not only is there a wedding gazebo on property, there are beach options a short walk away as well.
