Family and friends came from as far as Taiwan, Nevada, California, as well as many other states across the mainland. For months friends shared their enthusiasm on Facebook, they were anxious to join the couple and their families on the islands of Hawaii for a destination wedding week that was filled with daily events such as Island tours, luau's, golf, beach days, and special family acquaintance and rehearsal dinners, and of course, the wedding!
The couple wanted the best, therefore choosing The Royal Hawaiian Hotel (2nd hotel built on Waikiki in the 1920's), as their ceremony and celebration site. The celebration began on Friday when all or most of the guests and family members as well as the bride and groom arrived on the island, the wedding day was slated for Monday, August 9, 2010.The couple was adamant about their choice of numerology and 8-9-10 are ALL great numbers part of an Asian tradition of fortune, prosperity, and blessings among what is one of the most important milestones of their lives!
The happy couple shared their first glance on the patio of the hotel as family and the wedding party were anxiously awaiting to see Andrea waltz in with her fabulous figure adorned in a Maggie Sottero gown courtesy of Bowties & Bridal Boutique of Las Vegas. Andrea is a stunning young lady and in all of her bridal beauty she sparkled and shined, her hair floral piece as well as her bouquet were inspired and created by Cindy's Lei Shoppe of Honolulu The bridal jewelry courtesy of Jared Galleria of Jewelery and Aaron Lelah Jewelers. Now let's not forget the groom! Aaron, a Las Vegas accomplished Attorney, styled a tuxedo by none other than Celebrity Tuxedo's also of Honolulu and he was looking pretty dapper, see for yourself!
With the help of the bride's mother, we managed to sort of kidnap the couple on the eve before the wedding and drove to a secret "much needed" getaway.....a gorgeous "Sunset Portrait Session" at Makua Beach (aka Pray 4 Sex Beach). It was a lengthy but gorgeous drive to the far side of the island to Makaha! See here why my husband Wayne , (who is from Waianae, near the Makaha area), had his heart set on this particular beach. We have attached a slide show of this session for all to enjoy...it was yummy indeed! We'll let the images speak for themselves and you too may see WHY this destination wedding, was super special! Everyone at this wedding including YStudio agrees wholeheartedly!
