Mist of Morning Photography

From childhood friends to newlyweds - Kareen & Brad threw a gorgeous, yet laidback celebration for all their friends and family to join them at the beautiful National Tropical Botanical Garden on Kauai as they sealed their nuptials. Kareen was the perfect modern bride, from her dress to their wedding design, she wanted to keep things fresh: they chose a neutral color palette, but paired that with unexpected dried elements & unique textures that showed up throughout their wedding.

My favorite part of their wedding wasn't the design, although that was absolutely stunning, it was Brad's heartfelt vows during their ceremony. He expressed his deep love for Kareen and cried as he told her that he was sorry it took him so long to realize it. I was moved, of course (how could anyone not be?), and finished shooting the ceremony with happy tears in my eyes.

Thank you Kareen & Brad for letting us be a part of your stunning day, sending love from Seattle!
