Since we are in the business of photographing weddings, today we thought it only fitting to share some of our own.  Today is our third wedding anniversary, and I wouldn’t trade any minute of the last three years for anything.  In 2007, we had a destination wedding on Maui, in our beloved Hawai’i.  We arrived on April 7th for our April 13th wedding, and within an hour of landing on the island, disaster! A backpack with our laptop, jewelry, my engagement ring and both our wedding bands was stolen.  Gone.

In 5 days we scrambled to get a wedding band made for me (everything in the stores was too small for my fingers ), and my mom and aunts provided jewelry that I wore for the ceremony. Our friends brought a wedding band for Dustin from San Diego and gave us a spare laptop to use so that we could access all the wedding details we needed online.  They made the whole week a big old party, even with the craziness at the beginning.

It was an unusual way to start our married life together, but in the end, it was simply an adventure, the first of many together.  It was a reminder of what was most important, and our friends & family made sure the rest of the celebration was not dampened at all.  It was one of the best weeks of our lives!

As always, mahalo for stopping by, friends! Today, we hope you celebrate love.
