Irena & Peter Wedding

June 21st, 2008 — Pa’auilo, Big Island of Hawaii

New York couple married in the tiny quaint town of Pa’auilo (population 568). It was such a perfectly beautiful day!

For the techies: Canon 580EXII flash into a small shoot-thru umbrella held by Bev at camera right.  It would’ve looked fine with 100% natural light too, but adding some light helps give their faces definition.  I just love this photo of them.

In the dressing room…

The Bride & Groom got ready in the same house, *almost* running into each other…

Peter’s Mother sees that he is wearing her father’s cuff links.  I’m so glad Bev was able to capture this moment.
