Reiko and Jason

A follow up on my recent blog "Surprise for the Bride", here are some professional photos by Visionari taken at Reiko and Jason's wedding at the Ihilani. My staff and I had a BLAST at their wedding, and Reiko and Jason were truly a joy to work with. They reminded me again of why I love what I do so much and what "work hard and play hard" is all about.

On another unrelated note: many of my brides and vendors already know that I will be on vacation from Oct 21 - Nov 12. Marvin and I are going to Hong Kong, Beijing and Phuket for 3 weeks and will not have access to email and voicemail while I am gone. I will be sure to post pictures of our trip after we come back; most importantly, I look forward to coming back to Hawaii feeling refreshed to service all my brides.

Another thing to look forward to: I will be adding new wedding portfolios to our website after I return. There are so many beautiful and memorable weddings in 2008, I cannot wait to share them! Last but not least, congratulations to all my October couples who got married this month:

Sunny and Grayson

Essence and Nurry

Brenna and Jonathan
Miki and Joel, who are getting married this Friday!

OK... here are the photos of Reiko and Jason's wedding :)

Perfect backdrop for the perfect couple!

Details of the table set up. Love the "off-set" chair sash on the chair covers!

A professional photo of the fireworks. Much better than my camera phone :)
