When Kara & Don(the first couple to book for 2010!) asked me if I'd be willing to cover both their wedding in Saskatoon, and then a second ceremony & trash the dress in Maui, Hawaii, my answer was "Yes! Yes! Yes!" I've been looking forward to this wedding for over a year and a half and it didn't disappoint. Kara is also a wedding photographer (a very talented one) and she and Don were so easy to work with plus they were a ton of fun. These two love the beach, but with such a tight-knit group of well-wishers back home, they wanted to have a ceremony for their family in Saskatoon followed by a second private ceremony at Makena Beach in Maui, Hawaii. Adventure-seekers at heart, they braved an early morning (picking me up at 3am) for a drive up to the Haleakala volcano for sunrise. It was frigid cold but Kara & Don looked awesome standing 3,000 metres above sea level, high over the clouds of Maui. In contrast to Saskatoon, Maui was in drought this summer and it made for some interesting landscapes. We stopped everywhere for pictures and I loved the desert-like hills. So much variety!
Scroll down to see all the photos - in both Saskatoon & Hawii. Since there was so much going on, I couldn't help but make three posts from their wedding. Kara & Don had the wedding experience of a lifetime and I'm so glad to have been a part of it.
The first is a picture from their ceremony at Makena Beach, just before sunset.
Here are some images from the sunrise at the magnificent Haleakula Volcano. The sun rose at 5:30 a.m.
I just loved the dry landscapes, including this one at the volcano and the barren hills Kara & Don found near Lahaina.
After a shoot at sunrise, we spent sunset splashing around the beach near Lahaina.
