Kauai is our absolute favorite place on the face of the earth and we were in HEAVEN the entire vacation. The weather. The beach. The scenery. The rain. The company. :) Hopefully one day we can figure out how to move out there for good. Who wouldn't want to live in Paradise?!
The day started out beautiful and the weather was perfect. Patrick and Robyn are extremely "go with the flow" type people. Instead of planning a big dramatic event, they decided to show up at the beach, find a spot that looked good without anyone else too close, and have their ceremony. No big crowd. No decorations. Just the beauty of Hawaii and the sound of the ocean behind us. It was simply perfection.
The gorgeous Bride
Patrick overwhelmed by how beautiful his bride looks
Jared, their oldest son put together the ceremony and "re-married" them. It was very special for all of us.
What an amazing legacy they have built!
Like father, like son.
Can you tell Wyatt was so happy about the renewal? :)
After the ceremony everyone headed to set up for the after-party while we stole Patrick & Robyn away for some romantic couple shots!
I absolutely LOVE this shot:
Everyone on the beach and on the pier kept stopping Patrick & Robyn to congratulate them and brag about how AWESOME Robyn looked!
This lady even stopped them to recite a marriage poem that she had written:
Finally, we all headed to the after-party full of good food, good friends, an awesome local Hawaiian band to entertain us, and this guy:
This is Coppin. The most incredibly talented fire dancer we have ever seen
It was a trip to be remembered and we are so thrilled we had the opportunity to go and capture such a beautiful day for Patrick and Robyn. 25 years is a huge accomplishment and we respect them more than anything. Their devotion to each other through the good times and the bad has been such an example to Andrew and I and we pray that our marriage makes as much as an impact on others as theirs has. Cheers to 25 more incredible years, Patrick and Robyn! You are an inspiration to more than you know!
Thanks for sharing these! They bring tears to my eyes! The pictures capture so much joy and beauty! It is so special to see this renewal and to know the beautiful impact that Patrick and Robyn and their marriage have had in others lives, mine included! And Patrick and Robyn, if you are reading this, you look AMAZING!!!! - Lindsay VanDellen
ReplyDeletePerfection, once again. The location is perfect. Michael and I went to this very beach on our honeymoon. I remember walking to the end of the pier and telling him it would be such a great location for a wedding. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOSH! These are stunning! This might be my favorite photo shoot you guys have ever done! I love, love, love the post processing of one of the one's with the pier in the background! The colors are AWESOME! They both looked gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLOVE LOVE LOVE all of these!!!!! Great work guys! Patrick and Robyn look amazing! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe last one is my favorite couple pic. The one with Robyn in the boat is a favorite as well as the one where she is playing in the water under the dock. She is my very good friend. Great job on both shoots, Andy and Emily. : )
