crystal+mitch: private estate, mokuleia – oahu, hawaii

It was over two years ago when I first met up with Crystal & Mitch. Originally, there wedding was supposed to be held last year however due to some life changing events, the wedding was postponed to the following year. Seeing them again felt like seeing old friends which I haven’t seen in awhile. It was easy for us to catch up from where we left off. And one thing I learned new about them was their new addition to the family, baby Maiana.

No hotels, no tents….none of that needed for their wedding. Raw and real country type of wedding held outdoors (minus the horses and cowboy hats). The weather held up perfectly with no rain, light breezes, sunset and a sky filled with stars throughout the night. Simply an amazing day to remember! I’ve really enjoyed my time hanging out with the two. They were both such an easy going couple and was very inviting to work with. Both showed so much emotion that left everyone crying during the ceremony  (thank goodness I was able to hide my face behind the camera).

One of the main highlights that I remember clearly  was a speech during the reception. (I’m laughing as I type this!) I won’t get too detailed but let’s just say that whenever you jump in the ocean and you feel that the water is warm, check around you as Mitch might have just jumped in the ocean right before you.

Thank you Crystal and Mitch for having me part of your celebration. I had a blast spending the entire day with you and the family. Wishing you both the best as you start your new chapter in life together.
