Lauren and Jonathan were both born and raised in Massachusetts. She’s a nurse and he’s a firefighter (talk about couple goals)! This fun power couple wanted a destination wedding and what better location than Hawaii? Lauren and Jonathan invited their closest family and friends and celebrated their marriage at Paliku Gardens. It was a clean tropical romantic and chic wedding filled with a ton of laughter and a lot of love! Lauren and Jonathan’s intimate wedding was perfect.

The personalized details in Lauren and Jonathan’s wedding were so cute! Instead of a typical wedding cake topper, the couple had a Golden Labrador eating a portion of the cake. A Cake Life nailed the couple’s vision and it looked so cute! Each guest received Honolulu Cookie favors and a gold dinosaur seating card holder with their name on it. On their sweetheart table, framed by a soft romantic mixed tropical floral arrangement, were two gold dinosaurs that represented “bride” and “groom.” The gold dinosaurs perfectly accented the clean, chic minimalist table scape. At the bar, the couple wanted to incorporate their dogs. So they had a specialty drink sign created where, instead of the typical his and her drinks, the drinks were named after their three dogs. However, the best detail of the bar front was the customized shotski! It looked cute in detailed pictures and when it was used, the shotski looked so fun in photos!

We love fun bridal parties! Bridal parties help to elevate the fun positive wedding vibes. Lauren and Jonathan’s bridal party was a blast! After the couple said their I do’s at the Water Tower, Jenna Lee Pictures took the classic photos of the bride with the groomsmen shot and the groom with the bridesmaids shot. However, the groomsmen wanted to make the shots even more memorable and decided to throw up both Jonathan for one shot, and then Lauren for the next. The photos came out amazing! We love a fun bridal party photo session! From the moment the couple started to get ready in their hotel rooms, to the last song of the night, they were Lauren and Jonathan’s hype people.
