Aki and Glen decided to get married on Maui and bring their families and traditions together. With Japanese and Korean cultures joining hands, the party got started! The details were beautiful and the bride and groom were one of the calmest couples I have ever seen.
The colorful rose petals were scattered all along the aisle and made for a very colorful entrance.
Aki and Glen's rings were displayed in a gorgeous crown shaped pillow and tied with a satin knot.
Once the wedding ceremony and signing were complete, the couple headed to Baby Beach in Lahaina for a little time alone and some photos as the sun was setting and the moon was rising.
So cheers to Aki and Glen! Best wishes and hope to see you again on Maui for your second honeymoon!Thank you for choosing Aubrey Hord Photography to capture your wedding day!
A hui hou,

They chose the ocean side wedding site on Maui called the Naupaka Lawn at the Ka'anapali Beach Hotel and kept their fingers crossed that nothing would go wrong. It ended up being a perfect evening with light and weather. I lucked out and got an amazing couple! 
They had a wonderful minister for their ceremony who laughed along with the couple during their service and had a truly infectious smile. Finally, they ended their romantic evening with a private dinner on the Naupaka Lawn watching the sun set into the Pacific Ocean. 
They were joined by a few dozen family and friends who celebrated their marriage in style and Hawaiian sunshine! 
Carolyn and Brian were married by Makalapua Kanuha who officiated the Hawaiian wedding ceremony with a traditional chant in the beginning and a blessing in the middle along with the usual traditions. 
The couple celebrated their nuptials with glasses of champagne and a lot of laughter and love at the private 
Best wishes to Phil and 
The couple was great fun to photograph and made the wedding a joy! Michelle grew up on the beautiful island of Maui and Jesse is from the midwest so there was a lot of family on hand to celebrate.
Zach did a great job of capturing this image of Helen's Kissing Stool. Sean is taller than Helen and suprised the bride with custom making a "kissing stool" for her to use so they could kiss comfortably! How romantic!
It is not often you get the opportunity to work with someone who is a master in their field, and a lot of fun to be around as well.
I was invited to join one of Hawaii's premier fine art photographers, Randy Jay Braun 
I had met Randy before and at attended sessions taught by him at the 2009 Maui Photo Festival 
Randy has photographed the young male (kane) and female (wahine) winners of the prestigious 
I had the opportunity to join him the morning after the competition to photograph the young winners on the beach at Kaanapali. 
He has a way of capturing the grace, movement, pride and tradition of hula both both inside and outside of formal settings. He also has an amazing eye for detail and sense of place when capturing Hawaiian landscapes.
His images have graced magazines, websites, merchandise and are in fine art galleries across the state. His distinct style of finishing his hula pieces with an aged look, makes them appear timeless and truly allow visitors and residents to catch a glimpse inside the world of hula. His gallery is located in historic Makawao town right on Makawao Avenue.
