Destination Wedding

A recent road trip led us to the Dancing Bear Lodge wedding venue just outside the Great Smoky Mountain National Park.

Langdon and Jon may not show up to things on time, but when they do you forget all about having been waiting. These are two of the most compassionate people, with fully contagious smiles and great passion for life. The Kualoa Ranch Wedding Kaneohe Hawaii was perfect for a long awaited union.

Before we get to their Jefferson Memorial Wedding, you need the back story. Thea met Josh back when they both worked at a construction job. If you knew them today you’d laugh. I met Thea at run club in Hawaii. Thea is single handedly responsible for my island social life.

It’s not everyday we get asked to photograph a destination wedding in Tuscany! (Although we wouldn’t complain!) My mother’s family is Italian, so I jump at any opportunity to un-rustify my limited Italian vocabulary and hop across the Atlantic.
Now let me tell you why (location aside) this wedding was so incredible!

The Hawaiian beach wedding dreams are made of! Kristin and Mike might just be the poster couple of “it was meant to be.” You know, the Harry Met Sally of the non-Hollywood world. Where paths cross so many times you begin to wonder why it took so long to actually happen and rather than hearing “Congratulations!” after announcing an engagement the catching phrase is “it’s about time!”
