Wedding: Brandon & Kathy | Courtyard Kaua’i at Coconut Beach | Analisa Joy Photography | Southern CA Photographer

Wow, I still can’t believe I had the opportunity to fly to Kauai to photograph Brandon and Kathy’s wedding day. It was truly a dream from start to finish! I have loved getting to know this sweet couple throughout their planning journey and I couldn’t wait to celebrate with them on their big day. Brandon and Kathy have never visited Hawaii and they were looking forward to an intimate trip with their closest family and friends. They couldn’t have asked for a prettier day to say, “I do!” They tied the knot next to the ocean and the had a gorgeous sunset for their grand finale. Tropical rains greeted us in the evening right when we got under the reception tent (perfect timing). It made the dinner romantic and memorable! The rain was brief and soon after everyone danced all night in the grass and under the tent. Their little girl is named London and she was the star of the show. She loved dancing right in the middle of all the guests and she didn’t stop shaking it until the very last song! These two are an amazing team, wonderful parents, and they are so incredibly loved by their family and friends. It was so special to witness the bond that they share with those who attended their big day. Hawaii will always be one of my favorite places so it only makes sense that I am obsessed with their wedding photos! My favorites are posted below… Enjoy!

I had so much fun hanging out with the guys!! Such a great group!

Such a great shot of Brandon!

His reaction was the best!! I love how much Brandon adores his bride!

London’s smile is the cutest!! 

This entire group is so incredibly close. Almost all of them are in each other’s weddings (or they have been).

Bouquet toss!

His garter toss dance was a highlight of the night!
