Kenny & Kara’s Wedding | Kailua, Hawaii Wedding Photography

Kara got ready at the beautiful Halekulani Hotel. The overnight stay was a surprise from her mom.

Oh how I love shooting in Hawaii. Only there would I hear a conversation like this …

Kanani: Do you have your eyelash glue? I don’t think I brought mine.

Kara: No, I left it at my mom’s. Lisa, do you have some?

Lisa: Let me check…No, I don’t have any.

Pi`i: I might have some in bag. Oh wait, no, sorry. What about you, Rob?

Rob: Uh, no, but got some rice, ah? (when you’re in a pinch, you can mash up some white rice and use it as adhesive. i used to do it for my scrapbooks! lol. just kidding!)

The actual wedding was on the other side of the Ko`olaus, at Kara’s grandmother’s backyard in Kailua.

I couldn’t not post this. You see, before their engagement session, Kara mentioned that she and Kenny are not that comfortable in front of the camera. Well, the time we spent wandering San Francisco’s financial district paid off. Check out Kenny, he sure can work it now! :) He can be the poster boy for why you should make time for engagement photos.photo bride groom kailua beach.jpg

You guys were awesome, K&K!
