In early June of 2021 Caitlin & Chris tied the knot at the gorgeous Four Seasons Resort in Ko’Olina located on the West side of the island of Oahu. As the sun set on their wedding day we couldn’t help but be reminded of the journey they took to get to this day and were so thrilled they could finally celebrate their big day! Their wedding was originally scheduled to be at the end of June 2020 but as we all know how 2020 went, after changing their wedding date to March 2021 and then May 2021 they were finally able to walk down the aisle in June 2021!

Though their wedding was in the afternoon on that Friday morning we were with them at 9:30am to start their day! The hair & makeup artists from Faith & Beauty began working their magic on Caitlin & her bridesmaids.
During this time we like to double check that the Bride has everything that is needed for the detailed photos, such as invitations, jewelry, shoes, and especially the rings. We also check and begin to move down any items that should be at the reception area. These items are typically the welcome sign, card box, registration table items, and favors. The favors for their wedding were SO CUTE as they were cookie versions of Catlin & Chris’s corgi, Cheddar!
While the bridal party got ready, the flowers from Flower Girls and the photographers & videographers from VIVIDfotos also arrived. The bridal suite was now bustling with excitement as the wedding was now just hours away! At 12:30pm Caitlin was all dressed and looked stunning in her beautiful gown holding her cascading bouquet of stunning large white orchids. And now it was time for the first look!
There’s just something magical about the first time a bride & groom see each other! Caitlin & Chris also took this time to read personal letters to each other and took a few photos on the stunning staircase in the lobby of the resort.
More photos were captured at the lawn area with the bridal party and with Chedder of course! Then it was the moment they’ve been waiting for, time to get married!

Caitlin & Chris had a lovely ceremony full of laughs, tears, and smiles and then finally AFTER A YEAR LATER from what they originally planned, they were pronounced husband and wife!
Following the ceremony the couple had their grand entrance, first dance, father daughter dance, cut their wedding cake (announced and entertained by Bliss DJ’s) and they thanked all of their guests for being there. All of this while their guests were treated to a beautifully designed and executed reception by the top notch team of The Wedding Linen Company & Flowergirls.
As dinner began for their guests, Caitlin & Chris were able to slip away to take stunning sunset photos! Designed with Aloha provided the sign that said LOVE and wow we just LOVE how those photos of the newlyweds came out!
The rest of the night was filled with heartfelt speeches by members of their bridal party, a few games, and a mighty banzai toast wishing the couple a thousand years of good health & happiness.
We are so happy that Caitlin & Chris were finally able to get the beautiful wedding day they deserve! We wish them a long and happy marriage! BANZAI!
