“I did the impossible – got a Kauai boy to move to Oahu,” Kirsten laughs. These two are a perfect example of how in the best of relationships, a husband and wife make one another better. Better friends, better employees, better advocates for this planet. We are so grateful to know them and can’t wait to see what they do for the Hawaiian islands in their marriage.

Katelyn & Ignacio got married at their local courthouse in Kentucky and never really had any photographs from their wedding day so they decided to adventure around the North Shore of Oahu and check out all the views & sunset at Kawela Bay on Turtle Bay 🙂

We met up with Nicole & Jim at Maui Brewing Co several months before their wedding where she told us two things: #1 don’t stay too late because Jim’s friends get crazy and #2 that Jim hates having photos taken. We said “awesome!”

One of our best friends, the crazy talented musician Devin Henning, proposed to his Brazilian bride out at Waimea Bay…on a SUP board…with the ring in his boardshorts. That is a Hawaiian proposal at it’s finest! In the winter time, the swells can reach 30-40ft and Raquel is one of the pro surfers crazy enough to paddle out into them! So Dev thought what better place to ask for her hand in marriage than out at her favorite break on the planet 🙂

They celebrated with craft beers, brewery tours, and lots of dancing (as is customary at UD weddings ;). We’ve never seen harder dancing at a wedding before!

On top of all that, Smoke & Legend (their nicknames for each other) waited until sunset to share their vows with each other privately and it was nothing short of heartfelt and emotional. It was a privilege to witness & document this day for you two, thanks for inviting us into your lives and this special special day!
