Well what do you know? My little brother got married!
I was thrilled that Niki decided to come and help photograph this amazing day. She is as she always has been a forever part of our Ohana! Brandon and Rachel traveled, along with 40 of their closest friends and family, to the North Shore of Oahu to pay homage to Rachel's heritage. And they threw one heck of a good party!
So much love and beauty-- it should be put into a bottle and sold!

Kim and I joined Anju and Sri last week in Palo Alto for their engagement session. We had so much fun, and I have to say, that they were great sports-- we took them down back alleys (with lots of smelly garbage) and open spaces (with smelly compost piles). Anju and Sri smiled through it all-- and what incredible smiles they have! Check it out!
Anju and Sri, thanks so much for hanging out with us! We can't wait for you incredible November wedding!

Niki and I had the honor of photographing Alicia and Eric at the beautiful and majestic Asian Art Museum. But first we HAD to get a little urban touch in!
We had such a great time starting out at Hotel Vitale where the wedding party got ready, and where Alicia and Eric saw each other first the first time on the roof!
AND LOOK.. there it is. That moment... that moment I love the most.... when the groom turns around and sees his bride for the first time.
Alicia took Eric's breath away. Can you see it?
LOVE.
The wedding party worked it! Nice! This group was rockin that alley!
You would never know the was police dealing with some trouble just to the right of us! Ha Ha!
Here Alica and Eric are in the entrance of The Asian Art Museum. Stunning location for a stunning couple!
The First Dance was at once both grand and soul searchingly intimate. The first song was an original song written and performed by Bay Area talent Hyim. It was deeply touching. Check out more pics of the first dance in the slideshow below.
Here are a few details we loved! The bouquet, cake and writer's theme were breath taking. The cake was a personal gift from the chef at The Slanted Door. The most unique wedding cake I have ever seen. A piece of art!
Also there was a ring blessing during the ceromony where every quest touched the wedding rings while they floated on a ribbon around the venue before being brought down to Alicia and Eric. Another very unique touch I loved.

Suzanne Hanley of Atelier des Modistes:
I loved designing this gown just for Alicia! I had such a fun time creating new, unique pieces for her accessories as well. Pheasant feathers in the bracelet and headpiece...I love it when I can get really playful. Thank you Alicia... You look stunning and you were a joy to work with,
Warmly,
Suzanne Hanley

Tomorrow Brandon and Rachel will marry, at the Loulu Palm Estate on the north shore of Oahu. This morning we gathered on the beach to rehearse, and it was absolutely beautiful. The officiant asked Brandon and Rachel to decide *exactly* where on the beach they wanted to marry. They looked around, and Brandon found a rock, with his name on it-- really! And so they found their spot. Here is a tease of what is to come. Mahalo!
Chrissy Xavier:
Beautiful! I can't wait to see the rest.
