Our Wedding
April 22, 2009Today is our three year anniversary. THREE YEARS! I can honestly say that our three years of marriage haven’t really been too hard. Thankfully. I love him. He loves me. We love US.
We were married on April 22, 2006 at The White Orchid Beach House in Makena, on Maui. (Whew. What a mouthful!) At the risk of sounding like a Knottie’s Bio…. a big shout out to our wedding photographer, Mr. Stewart Pinsky. He is awesome. is pictures are awesome. Our experience with him, awesome. Actually, we found our photographer first. Obviously, photography was important me. Probably a little too important! While looking through Stewart’s portfolio, I found a location that I just FELL IN LOVE WITH. The photographs weren’t the only thing important to me, I want a wonderful location with bright and simple details — that would of course, photograph well. The White Orchid Beach House provided just that. With the help of White Orchid Wedding, we started planning our destination wedding.
The day-of went pretty smoothly, especially considering we hadn’t seen the location yet (at least not in person). Everything was set up for us once we arrived. During the ceremony, a fisherman walked over the rocks that were just a few yards behind us with his pole, bucket and little scruffy dog. He was just passing through, on his way to the other side of the cove. I thought it was cute, and a perfect thing to “go wrong” if something must go wrong!
The setting was perfect. My groom was adorable. I cried. He laughed at me. The drinks were colorful. The food was amazing (Thank you Cafe O’Lei!). The company was even better.
Can I do it again? (My husband is probably rolling his eyes right now!)
Here are some of my favorite images from our photographer, Stewart Pinsky, who has been such an inspiration to me. Needless to say, I couldn’t pick my favorites … so you get a whole bunch of photos! Enjoy!

Hey Emily, I came to your blog via My Maui Wedding. I was hoping you could answer a question for me. I love how you tied the flips flops together and then put them around the chairs at your reception. I was curious if you specifically got a pair for each guest or if they were just for decoration. I’m trying to think of some decor ideas and I really love the look of them. Love your pics! Mahalo!
