For Riini and Terry, Hawaii was the picture perfect place for both their wedding and their honeymoon. On September 23, 2012 they said their vows in an elegant, peaceful beach ceremony under a bamboo arch, surrounded by 60 of their closest family and friends.
Their theme was purple and green. Purple and green orchids from Oahu filled the arrangements and Riini’s bouquet, with hibiscus and bird of paradise in orange and blue, and the aisle was lined with Hawaiian fern and light green naupaka.

The ceremony
Purple Orchids by the Sea
Riini walked through the trees by the beach with her bouquet of purple and green orchids to meet Terry at the bamboo arch. With their families gathered close on the sand, they said their vows and shared their first look as husband and wife.
The rainforest
A Maori Warrior in the Rainforest
After the ceremony, Riini and Terry disappeared into the rainforest of Oahu. They danced through the bamboo, held hands by the river and a waterfall, and Terry showed his proud Maori warrior expression among the green leaves.
Mahalo
Mahalo & Memories
We turned their favorite moments into collages and keepsakes, including the mahalo sign Riini held up to say thank you at the end of their photo tour.
The party
A Haka at the Aloha Tower
The day closed with a fun reception at the Aloha Tower downtown, where they danced the night away under the stars. The groomsmen performed a haka from New Zealand, the girls raised a toast, and the whole family gathered for one big photo.
