2025 WEDDING HIGHLIGHT | PHOTOS BY BIANCA PHOTOGRAPHY
Konomi and Leighton's summer wedding at The Kahala Resort was a beautiful celebration filled with intimate moments, heartfelt vows, and joyful festivities!
The day began with the couple preparing separately in their hotel rooms. Konomi was surrounded by her bridesmaids, all wearing matching pajamas in the same color as their black dresses, creating a lovely sense of unity. Meanwhile, Leighton and his groomsmen got ready together, with the groom looking dapper in a sharp blue suit while his groomsmen opted for stylish aloha shirts!
Konomi looked stunning in her white gown and veil! She shared a touching first look with her parents before having a private moment with Leighton in the hotel suite. This intimate first look was made even more special by their exchange of personal vows, setting a deeply meaningful tone for the day!
The wedding ceremony was marked by elegant simplicity. The bridesmaids’ black dresses provided a striking contrast to their white bouquets, which were accented by greenery for a timeless, classy floral theme! The officiant's blowing of the pu shell beautifully symbolized the couple's union, adding a meaningful Hawaiian touch to the proceedings!
Following the ceremony, the couple and their guests moved to the reception space, which was decorated with refined taste and thoughtful details! A unique highlight was the inclusion of Konomi and Leighton's beloved pets—photographs of their furry friends were displayed in the table number stands, and the couple even created signature cocktails named after each pet, adding a personal and playful element to the celebration!
The evening continued with the couple’s first dance, the cutting of a lovely wedding cake, and some lighthearted fun with the "Shoe Newlywed" game. The couple also had a photo booth and lion dance during their reception to keep their guests entertained! Guests then enjoyed dancing the night away, sharing in the couple’s joy alongside family and friends!
