Keawala'i Church

Keawala'i Church
Keawala'i church is a quaint, very Hawaiian location in Makena, Maui. The grounds are tropical and the lighting is great for the obligatory family pictures following the ceremony. The minister is very accommodating and even provides me with a ladder in order to get a photograph of all guests and family members. It is located on the blue Pacific adding to the ambience.

Photos of Courtney & Jon starting at the Four Seasons Resort, Wailea, Maui, Hawaii

We began at the a Four Seasons Resort in Wailea for dressing photos. The wedding itself took place at charming and tropical Keawala'i Church in Makena. Right down the street is N. Malauka beach. They had great fun frolicking in the sand and getting a much needed break from family and friends. The reception took place at Capische restaurant at the Wailea Resort.The gardens there are beautiful and spacious giving guests plenty of room to mingle and pound down adult beverages. Note, too, the amazing sunset from the upper level.  photo _136_zpsc248409c.jpg  photo _133_zps337567ca.jpg  photo _147_zpse3d6b196.jpg  photo _188_zps7f559bb8.jpg  photo _214_zpsaff30974.jpg  photo 105_zps74489a89.jpg  photo _342_zpsaec18ce9.jpg  photo _360_zps9a96a4af.jpg  photo _453_zps57c8943e.jpg  photo _455_zps1389648a.jpg  photo _516_zps1949b9a6.jpg  photo _477_zpsdf9c999a.jpg  photo _522_zps159136e3.jpg  photo _543_zpsa1e319c0.jpg  photo _551_zps22a48ad8.jpg  photo _615_zps57c4d094.jpg  photo _535_zps9a71b9cf.jpg  photo _536_zps1b2fec4d.jpg  photo _554_zpsa37b4bc1.jpg  photo _558_zpsac1136c5.jpg  photo _576_zpsbe3407fe.jpg  photo _577_zpsb7c27a22.jpg  photo _592_zpse93686e9.jpg  photo _604_zps76c097f0.jpg  photo _609_zps6794a40d.jpg  photo _617_zpsbc147fc5.jpg  photo _668_zpsa6f090eb.jpg  photo _631_zpsfcd108c6.jpg  photo _672_zps48c4082d.jpg

Rhonda & Ron get Married at Keawala'i Church in Makena, Maui, Hawaii

Keawala'i church was Ron and Rhonda's choice for their wedding ceremony. Both residents of Maui, that says a lot. Their incredible reception took place at a private residence in Makena. I mean, they had it all, as you can see from the photos. What an evening! My responsibility as a wedding photographer is to make sure all details, groups of friends and relatives, candid moments (also known as photojournalism) and any special requests, are thoroughly performed AND done so quickly, efficiently and with courtesy.  photo 104_zps222394d3.jpg  photo 109_zps73856e3c.jpg  photo 135-2_zps0ce475e7.jpg  photo 159_zps039b135b.jpg  photo 243_zpsef8a7324.jpg  photo 251_zpsa07d2315.jpg  photo 278-2_zpsbf05130f.jpg  photo 258_zps1bdf036f.jpg  photo 262_zps2a2782bd.jpg  photo 322_zps0918ed39.jpg  photo 325_zps64bcd204.jpg  photo 331_zps895181dc.jpg  photo 388_zps53151522.jpg  photo 394-2_zpsce9a4210.jpg  photo 418_zpse776d98c.jpg  photo 483_zps2581028b.jpg  photo 340_zpsb0f3f54e.jpg  photo 485_zpsa7cabead.jpg  photo 488_zps08661b4b.jpg  photo 503_zpsd334a537.jpg  photo 513_zps5a752a44.jpg  photo 523_zpsffe7af21.jpg  photo 531_zps61fad684.jpg  photo 648_zpsb27bd2c5.jpg  photo 675-Edit_zps6606b1b2.jpg
