Rebecca and Alder’s wedding was absolutely breathtaking for so many reasons. The thoughtful, intentional details woven throughout the wedding, their down-to-earth approach to it all, and the elegant setting of Paliku Gardens of Kualoa Ranch, it all came together perfectly for these two. I’m so happy to have been able to document this wonderful day for such an amazing couple, and I’m SO excited to share some of the highlights from the day here!

Getting Ready, and a Stunning First Look

Like I said, Rebecca and Alder’s wedding day was one crafted and styled with so much intention. This was immediately apparent from the very start of the day, as Rebecca was able to spend the morning getting ready with the help of her wonderful bridesmaids. This then led to a moment where both Rebecca and Alder were able to read private notes from one another, which was an incredibly sweet note to start the day on. As the excitement built we made our way to the gorgeous grounds of Paliku Gardens for the moment where these two would see each other for the first time in their wedding attire! On the stunning lawn, looking out towards the ocean and Mokoliʻi island in the distance, Rebecca and Alder had their intimate first look and it was pure magic! 

Wedding Day Portraits Paliku Gardens

Having finally seen each other, Rebecca and Alder toom some time to be present in the moment with one another. All the work, planning, and preparation that went into their wedding was finally paying off. As we wandered through the lovely landscape of Paliku Gardens we were then joined by their wedding parties for some portrait photos. It was amazing documenting these two alongside their favorite people, their love and connections on full display. We took our time with these wedding party portraits, and it was SO much fun! I especially love the mismatched pastel dresses of Rebecca’s bridesmaids, each of which showcasing their vibrant personalities in their own unique way!
