Destination Indian Wedding at Royal Hawaiian at Waikiki, Honolulu, Hawaii

I am always amazed at the ingenuity and willingness of my clients to try something new.  The groom for this wedding eschewed the traditional horse in favor of a segway to come to the wedding location.  For the Vidai the couple elected to use a pedicab!
As usual, Joe Marquez (www.joemarquez.com) created magical memories with his camera Here are some of his pics.

Joyful Mehndi celebration at private Kahala home, in Honolulu, Hawaii

The vision for this setup was fuscia and tangerine, and to invoke the indoor outdoor feeling that is truly Hawaii.
The gardens provided a spectacular backdrop for the occasion.
