Merry Christmas, Loves ❤️
🎄
The days are so full and busy, nothing ever goes exactly according to plan. Perhaps the best moments come from the unexpected hiccups and resulting flow ✨
Looking forward to what’s to come 😊❤️

The days are so full and busy, nothing ever goes exactly according to plan. Perhaps the best moments come from the unexpected hiccups and resulting flow ✨
Looking forward to what’s to come 😊❤️
Because this deserves its very own moment.
At the top of the aisle.
This moment of excitement and anticipation.
It’s one of my most favorite parts of the day. And this one—IT GLOWS ✨

Wanted to reintroduce myself and thought about the formal niceties the photo and caption should probably include…
But then I came across this gem of a family photo-pirate-proud and Disney-obsessed! Yup, that’s the one!
🏴☠️
Hi, I’m Lana-Biology girl turned wedding planner! I like to think my bio background is what lends to my attention to detail and affection for clear communication. I love being a wife and love being a mom--join that with my Disney obsession, you get pirate family photos 😂
❤️
I love LOVE and can’t believe there’s a job that is solely dedicated to celebrating that!
🤭
If that jives with you, let’s get planning!

#1 thing to remember when planning your wedding…
It’s YOUR wedding!
Do what makes you smile and don’t be afraid to plan it to be uniquely yours! That’s what makes your wedding epic and that’s what makes it memorable!
I’ll be there to support you!
🤍
Wanna dance with heart sunnies under a canopy of lights and disco balls?
-Immediately, yes!
🪩 🕶️
Don’t like cake, but love donuts?
-Donut tower it is!
🍩
Wanna kiss in the rain?
-Absolutely, I’ve got you!
🌧️
Love your little nephew and think he deserves a cookie moment of his own?
-Of course!
🍪
This couple had me thrilled at all their details that screamed THEM! Especially the peanut butter and jelly sandwich in the middle of their ceremony-a nice snack, but more importantly, a sweet sentiment.

Guarantees are hard to come by, but for weddings here in Hawai’i I can guarantee these things-There will be laughing. There will be crying. There will be lei, hugs and kisses. There will be dancing and by golly, there will be amazing sunsets!
🌅
Post-ceremony moments. Where it’s just the two of you and you get to soak in the feeling of ‘We’re Married!’
🤍creation
🤍
First Look.
I love the anticipation, the nerves, the shock, the relief, the joy-I love it all! 🥰
❤️
Whether your first look is before or at the aisle, the MOMENT is amazing. Make sure you capture it!
❤️
Cool+Flowy+Passionate, that’s the vibe and I’ll take more of that, please! Favorite part of this day, watching them dance barefoot in the rain.

Merry Christmas, Friends!

The Kāneakua-Pia ʻOhana
So very thankful to have closed out the year with this amazing couple and their ‘ohana! I’m especially excited to have had the opportunity to end with such a great crew of vendors as well! Mahalo mahalo for 2022! Shoutout to for this 🔥 same-day edit!
❤️
A big congratulations to the lovely Kili and Trevin!

Can’t decide between ocean or mountain views? No prob-Kualoa’s Paliku Gardens has both!
Congrats to Rissa and Rich! This day was so full and fun with sunshine, music, glow sticks, and of course, tequila 🌵

Hype Squad. I usually hope to be a member myself, but nothing can beat your besties celebrating with you on your wedding day! Choose wisely guys-these are the folks that will hold up your dress, remember your cell and tissue, carry your train, wipe your tears, bring the extra drinks, and anything else you might need! They’ll also be first and last on the dance floor! If nothing else though, fear not, my job description covers all of the above 🤣 ❤️

What she said 😂
As we get back to some normalcy in weddings, let’s not forget those sweet guests who didn’t need to fall under a limited guest count 😂
🐴
You can count on to have just the cutest special attendees 😍 and to get the shot 🤗
🦆
“Still standing” is probably the most appropriate caption for this photo and tonight we celebrated that we did just that!
❤️
So grateful to Oahu Wedding Association for the tireless effort they put into keeping weddings alive through the pandemic. Thanks to all the vendors who made tonight a hoot!
❤️
Shout out to my plus one and fab photog friend for the child-free laughs and cheers!
Lessons from COVID:
If you’re not laughing, you’re not doing it right.
🤪
We don’t have time to give time to what we don’t love.
❤️
I am so grateful to come out on the other side reminded of how much I love this business of love!
🥰
If you’re not laughing, you’re doing it wrong.
Just the two of us.
❤️
The weight of this world feels too heavy as of late. And then we’re reminded of how close our love and life can feel in the endless expanse of beauty around us.
❤️
Grateful for the reminders and for the couples and vendors who make it possible.

Happy happy birthday and happy anniversary to this lovely ‘Ohana! The years seem to fly by especially when you’re watching babies get older! We had so much fun celebrating both milestones all in one! Their Kualoa celebration was amazing with an all white bounce house, kiddie play area, lawn games and to top it, they entered on a boat!
🤩
One of my favorite things about this job is getting to share in these amazing moments and then to watch their families live and grow in the years to come!
❤️
When I get a new set of wedding photos, I always struggle with what I’m gonna share first! I’m usually dying over everything from the venue views, to the fun group photos, florals and more. But when this one came, while every bit as beautiful as I expected, there were specific pictures that gave me goosebumps and stood above all the rest!
🌱
Coming out of a year with very few hugs and no big celebrations with loved ones, the embraces of this day are my absolute favorite!
❤️
2021, I hope you’re full of all the hugs and all the hā because we have got a lot of time to make up for!
🤗
Camera shy??

Schedule an engagement session or pre-wedding photo op with your photographer so you can get to know them! By the time your wedding rolls around, you’ll feel like old friends!

That exit never gets old! No rice, no sparklers, no balloons, boohoo. Don’t need anything but the people you love to make it a blast! Off to live the rest of their fabulous lives!
💥
Sending a very happy anniversary to this wonderful couple! It seems like just a year ago, not two, since last year seems to have not existed. Their sweet babe is evidence of the time that has passed by, though! And what a cutie he is!
😍
Megan and Jesse, may you have many many more happy years together!
😘
It’s when I’m crouched here, in this moment, that I feel most blessed to do this job. Seeing the moments before the moments.
If you need me, I’ll be here. Soaking in the fresh air, pastel skies, greenery for days and of course, the celebration of LOVE! Happy to finally be back!
❤️
CHEERS to one year of these beautiful people whose intimate home wedding was so much smaller than we had been planning, but the feelings were unimaginably bigger than we would have ever dreamed!
❤️❤️
Also, all of these year-milestones are blowing my mind reminding me that 2020 came and went in an instant 😩
❤️❤️
Love you, Mr. and Mrs. Petrie!
🥂
Everyone celebrate because we’re back! Hallelujah-100 guests outdoors-YES!
👯👯♀️👯👯♀️👯👯♀️👯👯♀️
I thought about putting 100 dancers here but...probably too much
🤣

Fly across the ocean and where do they want to go?! Guess it’s true, can take the girl from the island, but not the island from the girl 🏝️Their first experience at a CA beach and they barely dipped their toes 😂Also, I forgot how salty and fishy these beaches smell 🫠Can’t beat home, that’s for sure. The Natural Bridges at Santa Cruz were gorgeous and a site to see, though 😊Especially when the sun started to set! We unexpectedly spent 25 days off our island and on the continent doing a whole smattering of adventuring! It was a first for us to do a road trip and boy did we learn some lessons 😂Peep my alma mater and some wineries we reluctantly drove by 😕I’m excited to share more about our trip, but it’ll probably take me all the way till the next trip because my ig battery is already on low 😜 #familytravels #firstroadtrip #CAtoWA #naturalbridgestatepark #santacruz #explore #pepperdine #gowaves
Dad had no idea the life these pieces of wood would live, nor the starting of lives together that they would witness. Maybe I’m a big mush, but I can’t help but adore the moments this arch has witnessed. Here’s to many more! ❤️ @anelabenavides @tradewinds_ranch_hi @summerreignfloral @flourish.artistry.hawaii #kaneakuakrafts #weddingarch #priceless
You’ve got to plan for the ‘what ifs’ so that no matter what the day brings, nothing can take away from the magic of your day! ❤️ We had rain on this amazing day and it only made for the sweetest moments. *cue the clear umbrellas ☂️ @kualoaranchweddings @jeffalencastre @simplelovestorieshi @pacificpartyrentals @acakelife @cocodivaz
Most recent realization of becoming my parent - I only want to drink coffee out of a mug! I don’t want a paper cup or a cover of any sort-I am now my father, driving with my mug in hand on the way to school drop off because the mug makes all the difference. Happy to learn this week that Starbucks has their mugs back! Also, not embarrassed at how exciting this news was to me! ☕️ #incaseyouneededtoknow
In honor of International Women’s Day-here’s a fun time with one of my faves! If you haven’t already-check out all the fun things to do at Kualoa Ranch-of course besides getting MARRIED! It’s a gorgeous venue, but it’s also an amazing adventurous place for all ages! @kualoaranch @knightj
Your vendor team is so so important! It’s the things that can’t be planned for and how everyone adjusts, problem solves, and supports one another that really show the excellence of the team! So grateful to get to work with amazing people! @alohaontherocks @jeffalencastre @onokineentertainment #problemsolvers #teamwork #iolanaevents
Excited and blown away every single time. Can’t believe I get to call this work. @iambradbakula @keanibakula @kualoaranchweddings #iolanaevents
Gah, how do they do that-capture EVERY moment?! These photographers always blow me away! AND-I imagine if I’m smiling as I relive the day through their pics, my couple must be ear to ear! Thanks is not enough for your awesomeness @iambradbakula and @keanibakula ❤️ @kualoaranchweddings @jeffalencastre @platinumtentsandevents
Literally the only self content I can find 😝😜Crazy selfies, some of which were accidental. Best role of all-Hype Girl and the gal behind the scenes tearing up as you walk down that aisle (last vid) 🤍 #gettoknowme #hypegirl #tissueholder #dressfixer #allthethings #iolanaevents
If you don’t have 3 minutes to watch -I GET IT-read below instead… . . . 1) Your planner is a great sounding board for navigating personalities and emotions because we’ve seen and managed it all. TRUST YOUR PLANNER AND ASK THE QUESTIONS 2) I’m grateful for my couples who help make their days run smoothly by trusting me to work through ALL the details with them. 3) Showing up is important even if it’s not cute 😂❤️ #iolanathoughts #trustyourplanner #iolanaevents

Imagine my surprise when I’m singing all the words to ‘Our Song’ as my girls are dragging me out of there because they’re tired 😂 🤭 Loved it! Wish I went in person!

Wedding Math! 🌟 🤑 In all seriousness, though, I absolutely love prioritizing my couples’ budget and helping them to make smart decisions that still accomplish the DREAM! There are so many ways to optimize the money you plan to spend. Keying in on your top wants and ultimate take-away “feel” is the BEST place to start! . . . I can’t stress enough the importance of those high quality vendors-the top notch vendor crew may not seem to save you money in the short term, but in the long term, they’ll save you in more ways than one! You won’t regret hiring the awesome team. . . Not sure where to start? Your coordinator, OF COURSE! And we’ve been there, done that, so we can give you all the tips, tools, advice and guidance customized to YOU! 🤍🤍🤍 @jeffalencastre @megan_moura @keanibakula @krislabangphotography @modernbouquetpreservation @kualoaranchweddings @pacificpartyrentals @lulusleiandbouquets @bishopmuseum @olomana.golflinks @aloha.is @tutuluvspapumi #weddingmath #weddinghumor #alwaysdisney #iolanaevents
