I couldn't be happier!

A HUGE thank you to a Paradise Dream for making our wedding day dreams come true!

From start to finish everything was amazing.  Jayanne, our Wedding Coordinator, was awesome.  She was able to capture our personalities and style with just a few phone calls and emails.  She planned everything exactly the way we wanted, even when I changed our wedding date and time with less than two months notice.  I have to say I'm going to miss our conversations. 

Andrea did my hair and makeup and I must say she did not disappoint!   Our videographer was Brian.  He did a great job at capturing every moment of our wedding.  The music he chose for our video was so touching, I cry every time I watch it.  Tino was our minister.  The words he spoke were so thoughtful and beautiful, I couldn't be happier.

Gordon and Mami, our photographers, captured photos that were beyond amazing!   We are so grateful to have found a place that made all of our dreams come true!

Thanks to everyone who helped make our wedding day one we will always remember. Ross & Sara Renze

Last photos of the day

After a day long shoot all over the island, we like to finish up for sunset at the Makena Cove.  Soft sand, striking lava, big crashing waves, privacy and you! Perfect place to let out all the kinks and stress from posing all day, these photos are more movement based and are a perfect finish to your Photo Tour.  Jayanne, Wedding Coordinator

Historical Colorful Paia Town

After jungle shots in Iao Valley, its perfect to go to Paia town, located on the East side of the Island.  Famous for its brightly colored store fronts, eclectic shops, historical buildings, its full of character to showcase your love in.  Makes a nice balance to beach photos.  Jayanne, Wedding Coordinator

Iao Valley, "The Jungle"

For more dramatic garden photos and the closest we can get to a waterfall, we go to Iao Valley, in the middle of the Island.  There is a wonderful full stream, a bamboo forest, 100 year old Banyon trees, and a little cultural village with bridges.  Crystal and Joe started their photo shoot in the valley.  Jayanne, Wedding Coordinator

Floating on air

Ben and Katie struck Maui gold with a perfect day. The sand was freshly wave swept, the sky redusted with Maui blue and a breeze to keep everyone cool.  Lunch at Gannons with a wedding cake and sweet sounds of Harp music.  Jayanne, Wedding Coordinator
