Olowalu Plantation House, Maui Wedding | Victoria & Jake

I have had the privilege to work with Jake while I was employed at Starwood Vacation Ownership several years ago and was thrilled when he and Victoria contacted us to photograph their wedding day.  Jake & Victoria traveled to Maui from California to get married in front of friends and family.

The wedding ceremony & reception was located at the Olowalu Plantation House.   My husband Kevin, our assistant Harmony and I arrived early to capture the bride & groom before the ceremony took place.  I was lucky enough to get there and capture a few shots of Victoria getting her hair and makeup done by awesome Bridal Hair Stylist and Makeup Artist Karine Cummings with Bridal Hain on Maui.  After the pamper session - we took Jake & Victoria out for a few group shots before the event started.  It was great to meet their families... including their children Jacob, Dylan & Krislyn as well as Jake's parents, Victoria's mom and brother and Jake's lovely sister Jenny. ;-) While that was going on - Chef Ralph & Daniel from Soup to Nuts (Onolicious Food) prepared for the Reception with food that smelled so delicious... it made it difficult to keep my tummy from rumbling ;-)  This was also our first opportunity to work side by side with Frank Pulaski III of Dreamtyme Films as he was the videographer for Victoria & Jake's special day.

Their beautiful reception showcased Chef Ralph & Daniel's awesome food and entertainment from Manutea Nui E which included an arrangement of Hula & Tahitian dances as well as a Fire dance that took the show. ;-)

Jake & Victoria, congratulations to both of you...We wish you all the happiness in the world.  Thank you so much for allowing us to be a part of your special day.

Here are a few photos from Jake & Victoria's special day.
