FOUNDER OF:
Hawaii Wedding Professionals Association (now known as the Maui Wedding Association)
 When I started as a wedding
consultant in Maui, I truly felt that if I used the best professionals
for every aspect of a Maui wedding, the end result would be "the
perfect wedding"! Since that time I have been able to achieve
the results I hoped for over and over. My passion for photography
and love for planning events just seemed to make it easy! |

I am proud to say that I
plan each and every wedding as if it were my own. I love what
I do and I love where I am doing it. How many people in this
world can say that? |

Most couples that decide
they want a destination wedding have a variety of reasons for
doing so. Over the years, I have asked couples why they chose
to be married away from home. Most times they were actually planning
a large wedding at home with all of their relatives and friends
and it just got out of hand. They usually give up on the idea
when they discover how expensive it is and how many problems
they have with relatives and friends that get involved in the
planning. Most couples today want to actually be able to enjoy
their wedding day instead of trying to make everyone else have
a good time. This inspires them to just get away and be by themselves
or maybe take a few close family and friends with them, that
they feel it would be meaningful to. The cost of a
get away wedding is a lot less than a wedding at home and these
days couples are more conservative. They would rather put a down
payment on a house than spend $30,000 to $80,000 dollars on an
elaborate production that will literally just wear them out.
Then, there are the young couples that just can not afford to
have a wedding or reception for a large number of people. The
destination wedding is a good solution to a lot of problems couples
have when they begin to plan the most important and hopefully,
the most meaningful day of their life. Especially if the destination
is Maui. |

This is my cat! I just thought I would share him with you! As you can see he is very special and he can talk with his eyes. He rules at my house and he gets whatever he wants! Fortunately all he wants is a lot of love and a lot of food! To the right you see Baxter at a hard days work! He is the most relaxed cat I have ever known! He is even softer and sweeter than he looks! |
