Everybody’s Top 3
We asked our team what their top 3’s about weddings are, and here’s what they said:
Hunter:
Being able to improve people’s lives with music because they’ve worked so hard at planning it
The musical aspect of bringing excitement and energy to the dance portion of the wedding, and getting people dancing and having fun
Being able to do what he loves most while living in Hawaii
Rae:
Seeing “first looks” (the first glimpse of a bride when she’s dressed up to marry her love) because it’s an exciting moment people dream about
The reception—where people are having fun dancing
When all of the bridesmaids get together and, since she has 3 sisters, she likes seeing the closeness and relationships of the bridesmaids
Julie Ann:
Weddings place her in the most beautiful places on the island of O`ahu
Loves working the landscape and the lush tropical environment
Being invited into one of the most intimate times of a couples’ life and considers it a privilege that they’ve chosen her to tell their story
Most Memorable
Everyone’s got a “most-memorable” to share:
Julie Ann:
A couple had 37 people in their wedding, with 9 different locations, 2 outfit changes during the course of the ceremony, and had choreographed musicians and vocalists perform. She did the whole event shoot herself!
Rae:
She shot a wedding in Los Angeles of an older couple who met at 20 years old, never married, then later reconnected again 20 years later. They got married at a castle because their story was like a fairy tale.
Hunter:
A bride and groom fell in love and had their first kiss at a reggae concert; the groom’s dream was to have the reggae musician play their first dance live at their wedding. Hunter hid the musician in the sound booth, then, on cure, came out and, to the bride’s surprise, played a song the groom wrote for her.
