Bali Hale Estate Maui Wedding :: April + Rod

They call each other Woody and Penny (like Toy Story).

It was only later that we found out he didn’t know at the time that the character’s name was really Jessie – but Penny stuck, and so did they to eachother.

Last week we had the pleasure of spending time with April and Rod at one of my favorite estates, Bali Hale Estate. They got married in their hometown of Seattle, and since hadn’t celebrated the occasion beyond the ceremony.

They decided that there’s no better way to do it than Maui style, and we gotta say - we tend to agree.

The evening was sparked with laughter and reminiscence. They are such a magnetic couple (we couldn’t figure out who was having more fun shooting – them or us!) and being in their presence made me stop and take a moment to, again, appreciate how blessed we are to surround ourselves with such people for a living.
The celebration was just beautiful, and we had so much fun capturing all of the love and thought out details.

Oh how I love personalized cakes..

and Bullseye.

I had to end on this note.. because all great moments end with dessert =)

Congratulations you two, you deserve all of the best life has to offer!

Just Another Manic Monday..

Yet another Monday rolls around - where did this year go?!?!

John's reminded me that we've got a bit caught up in the holiday thing and the mass correspondence lately, and I've neglected to blog.

 I challenge him to write a blog (his first ever); he reminds me he's allergic to grammar and asks if I'd accept an IOU.

Yeah, anyway.

This month has gotten kicked off in a big way, there is so much more greatness to keep sharing, and I'm so thrilled just thinking about it.

I have such a great wedding in queue for tomorrow, so check back my fabulous blog stalkers.

In the meantime, here's something just way too cute. Maybe it's just me.

"A face only a mother could love."

This is what I call the "mommy-won't-let-me-chew-on-the-big-spikey-green-monster-in-the-living-room-so-I'mma-give-Daddy-the-Look" Look.

**Sidenote: My Maui friends and fans - this Saturday is the Birken and Bailey's Christmas Pawty, so pack up your own furry kid and come hang out with us (ok, and Santa too).

Happy Monday,
