Ira and Justin - Married

Ira and Justin love Tiesto, so its only fitting I put a slideshow together to their favorite artist.



This wedding was very unique in that it was in Kauai, HI and that I was there for 5 days documenting the celebration. Ira and her family are from Russia so the first evening I arrived was "Russian Vodka night"

001

Served with traditional Russian drinking food!

This is the house that most of us stayed while we were there... truly "roughing it"!

007

We made it down to the Kalalau trail off of the Na Pali Coast

The Luau was amazing, Justin lived in Kauai when he was a kid and the performers were some family friends.

There was a farmers market right across the street from the house we stayed in, we all went over to pick up fresh fruit and vegetables for the reception.

The sunset ceremony left us just enough time to capture some beautiful sunset photos!

The following day we visited several places on the island for a "Day After Shoot/Trash the Dress"

047

We underestimated the waves in this shot, we all got SOAKED!

There are roosters all over the island running wild, Ira was convinced she could catch one for the shoot!

beautiful beautiful fun pictures. how lucky that you got to go to Hawaii for all of it. it looks like they took full advantage of having a full time photog with them! the video is not Tiesto nor is it of Mr & Mrs Litchfield though ??
