Intimate Hawaiian Destination Wedding from Jonathan Canlas
I want this wedding. I want this wedding in the worst way. Because when it comes down to magical ways to say "I do," this pretty little affair really knows how it's done. I'm talking an intimate love-fest with a small group of friends and family, a weekend getaway in paradise and a whole host of lovely captured by Jonathan Canlas that will literally rock your world... and fill your entire day with pretty. Start the festivities off in the full gallery. It's amazing.
And a pretty little film from IMF Visions for even more lovely. Enjoy.
From Jonathan Canlas... This was a small destination wedding for Kristin and Derek who live in Austin, Texas. There were around 35 guests, almost all were family members from across the US. It was a rather quick engagement and Hawaii is very special to both of them, as is family, so they decided on a smaller celebration with their family on the North Shore of Oahu. This is not a wedding heavy in details per say but still heavy in details in the fact that the location, Hawaii, work as the details. The local flare, "natives" from the Polynesian Cultural Center, scenic landscapes, endless ocean views and beaches make this wedding.
From the Bride... Before Derek and I even became serious about marriage, I think we both knew Hawaii was the place. It all started early on in our relationship when I invited him to join me for a wedding in Vail, Colorado for a close family friend. Being in our early 30's meant we had both attended our fair share of weddings but none of them felt quite like this. It was like a happy weekend getaway with all of the guests celebrating love, life and friendship together. It was such a happy weekend and from then on we knew there was no question that a destination wedding was for us... and what better place than Hawaii. Fast forward almost four years and we truly had the wedding of our dreams. Hawaii is like a dream land and although it took some doing to get there... It was a trip that none of our guests will forget. It was a prefect day, with our favorite people in the most beautiful spot. I only wish we could do it all over again! Best day ever!!
