Tom & Janie

The setup

White & Blue by the Sea

A white arch with white and blue flowers stood on the sand by the dark lava rocks, with a maile lei and white orchids, starfish and candles waiting for the ceremony.

The ceremony

Vows in the Morning Rain

Janie walked up to the archway to meet Tom, and they said their vows so softly only they could hear. Rev. Kimo blew the conch shell as they kissed, and they slipped on their rings as the clouds began to clear.

The mermaid

A Mermaid on the Shore

Then the bride became a mermaid. In her pink tail Janie lay on the sand and in the shallow water at Makapuu while Tom held his mermaid close, for some of the most unforgettable photos we have ever taken.

A Morning Wedding & a Mermaid

Tom and Janie’s ceremony began at 10 in the morning with a little rain, and by the end of their vows the sky had cleared. Their white arch was decorated with white and blue flowers, with a maile lei, white orchids, starfish and candle holders waiting on the table.

Janie carried a bouquet of tropical fern from Oahu’s mountain forest with white, yellow eyed plumeria. Rev. Kimo blew the conch shell as they kissed, and afterwards Janie changed into a mermaid tail for magical photos along the shore.
