I knew from the start that Baylee and Tanner’s intimate wedding day on Kauai would be stunning through and through! These two exude class while also being some of the sweetest and most wholesome people around. Everything from their first look on the beach to their newlywed portraits were simply perfect and I can’t wait to share them with you all.

First Look on the Beach

For the start of their day Baylee and Tanner got ready separately so as not to see one another before their first look. Baylee got ready with her bridesmaids and once dressed had a first look with them which was such an amazing and exciting moment for her. It was then time to head to the beach where her and Tanner shared their first look. They both had stars in their eyes seeing one another for the first time, you could feel the anticipation for the rest of the day in the air! The two then shared some time on the beach of Kauai to share their private vows to one another before their intimate wedding ceremony. 

Stunning Ceremony at Smith’s Tropical Paradise

Smith’s Tropical Paradise on Kauai was Baylee and Tanner’s venue for their intimate wedding day celebrations. The ceremony space looked out over the lake and the mountains of the island creating an incredible backdrop for their gorgeous ceremony. With their closest friends and family in attendance the two said I do and shared their first kiss together as newlyweds! After the ceremony we had time for some portraits with family and friends before sneaking off for some newlywed portraits.

Sun-kissed Portraits

Their newlywed portraits at Smith’s Tropical Paradise started off with the most amazing sunlight peeking through the clouds in the sky. The lighting was seriously stunning and created such a cool and sun-kissed feel to their photos. Later on we actually got some overcast from the clouds overhead. This was great in its own way though as the lighting was SO easy to work with and it created some extra variety in the feel of their photos. Once through with their portraits Baylee and Tanner spent the rest of their day celebrating their new marriage with those they care about most, their friends and family!

Being a part of and capturing these moments from Baylee and Tanner’s intimate wedding day on Kauai was in all honesty a dream come true. They had so much fun throughout their day and I’m SO happy they hired me to preserve their favorite moments in time for them.
