Or perhaps we should just call it "wedding". With the Supreme Court decision today legalizing same sex marriage all over the U.S., a wedding is now just a wedding. We are so pleased to see justice finally done and that our clients can now go back home after their wedding knowing that their union will be legally recognized in their home state. We have been planning and photographing same sex unions since Hawaii legislated "Civil Unions" a few years ago and more recently when Hawaii was ahead of the curve and legalized gay marriage.

Rob and Greg flew in to Maui for a romantic and relaxed Makena wedding on a beautiful spring day. Our favorite Maui wedding minister , Diana George, presided over the affair and the guys were just having a blast.
