If you’re looking for a unique bohemian beach look – today is your lucky day! Connie and Wesley’s adorable day after session mixes free-spirited styling with the natural beauty of Kua Bay on the island of Hawaii and it’s all captured beautifully by Rebecca Arthurs Photography.
From Connie – “It was weird, at one point, I didn’t know if I would meet someone who I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. Wes and I had grown up in California, 1 hour apart and even went to the same university, but never met. After meeting Wes, everything just started falling into place. It was the coming together of two people with similar desires and vision.
We had our wedding at the Hale Ko’Olini on the island of Maui and decided to honeymoon on Big Island. These are both islands that Wesley and I had not travelled to. We had a very intimate wedding celebration with close friends and family. Knowing the day of the wedding would be hectic, I wanted to get some day after photos with just the two of us, without the rush of the wedding schedule”
“Our day after shoot was inspired by the additional headpiece that I originally wanted to wear during my reception, but decided it would be better to save this 2nd look for later. It has a bohemian princess vibe and I found a casual dress to go with it that had lace, which was part of our wedding theme.
We wanted to incorporate our wedding colors, mint & lavender, so I ordered some lavender purple flowers from Bliss in Bloom. Kua Bay has amazing scenery for a more relaxed photo shoot, so we included our wedding themed and vacation style all into one. We both love sunsets and it was beautiful! Rebecca really made us look like magazine pages. What an awesome way to capture our honeymoon!”
