Olowalu Plantation House Wedding | Abbey + Ryan

Abbey and Ryan discovered me through Instagram, and we had the chance to meet in person when they visited Maui about a year before their wedding. During that trip, I also had the pleasure of doing their engagement photos. I was thrilled when they mentioned, "We ran across your profile on Instagram, and your shooting style is spot on for our tastes." I was even more excited to learn that they were planning an Olowalu Plantation House wedding. It's such a stunning venue, and I'm always honored to photograph weddings there.

It was a beautiful January day, and the couple had assembled a fantastic crew. The energy was incredibly high, and they made me feel like one of the guests. We hit it off during their planning, and I have to say, they're an incredibly cool couple. One unique thing they did was create a vinyl record with their favorite songs, using photos from our engagement session as the cover. Additionally, they had each guest take a headshot wearing heart-shaped sunglasses that were passed around during cocktail hour. Their vows were heartfelt, and all in all, it was a wonderful day!
