Sitting outside right now on the patio taking in a Kailua sunrise as I reminisce with myself about John + Vicki’s glamorous winter wedding. The details were impeccable, the bride + groom were straight out of a movie, the food was delicious, and the laughter was boisterously heard all day, from miles around.
This was a glamorously fun wedding – packed full of touches that were just so John + Vicki. And if you have been an active reader here for some time, then you know that I cannot get enough of my awesome couples and how they tailor their days so that their personalities shine through : ) We all started the day at the incredible Thompson Chicago before we were off to the ceremony!
I mean these details?! And Vicki’s ombre pink veil was like the beeeeest.
Rough way to spend your morning huh?!
Oh these two. Straight up stole my heart. 
YESSSSSSSSS. Sometimes I hit the shutter on my camera and am all “nailed it” – this was one of those times. 
…this was another one of those times. But this babe makes it easy!
Ohhhhhh heeeeeey – we married! 
How elegant is this crew?! 
Babes.
You two make my heart happy. Like seriously contagious laughter. 
I feel like this was supposed to be like “Groom looking over at his bride” but was more likely “Groom hears dog” : )
Okay – okay – so like run at me. #nailedit
You know – I think we really brought our Disney meets Chicago meets glam fairy tale A-Game on this one team. High fives all around. 
PURE JOY. 
A few words from the newlyweds….
