I had the pleasure of photographing Michelle and Gareth’s Olowalu Plantation House wedding a few months ago. This Californian bride and Australian groom decided to have a destination wedding on Maui, a place where their worlds met. They flew me out to capture their wedding story and I just loved everything about their day. Their friends and family shared sweet and laugh-inducing stories about Michelle and Gareth individually and as a couple (I love a good toast), and their wedding details were over the top gorgeous. Their pastel centerpieces were a combination of muted blue, green, grey and peach… a color palette that was perfect for their seaside wedding.
