The day started early for Rachel: 4am for hair and makeup. Shortly after Peter and I showed up to begin photographing and filming the getting ready, first look and sunrise ceremony nestled back by the cliffs on the beach. When he saw her for the first time, Colin’s face was everything a bride dreams of when they imagine their first look. He was so captivated by her beauty and it really seemed surreal surrounded by all of the flowers in the Grand Hyatt’s incredible garden displays. They walked hand in hand over to their ceremony site, made it official and then we went on a little adventure to a special place where they could exchange their personally written vows to one another.

These two were so stoked all day with everything that Kaua’i gave them. A little rain fell at the waterfall and it didn’t phase them. Their boots were wet, her dress was muddy, and they were all smiles the entire time. It’s the best ever when people let go of all expectations and just live in whatever gets handed to them; that’s when the real magic happens and it was no exception with these two. Take a look at their photographs and you’ll see what I mean! So excited for Peter to finish their highlight film from this day, it’s going to be amazing!!
