By Car

Ahh, this elegant Terranea Resort Wedding is giving me heart-eyes. First of all, the beautiful location is the perfect setting for a luxury event with vintage touches! Who wouldn’t fall in love with their amazing ambiance that made Sara and Dan’ wedding into a modern fairy tale. Now if there’s one thing you can take away from this wedding’s style, it would certainly be the beach wedding with the elegant tones of greens and blush. The floral arrangements are magical! That color combination of greens and soft tones is on-point with the modern chic wardrobe of the couple. A classy, timeless vibe! You’re definitely not going to miss out this wedding. So thanks to Figlewicz Photography for giving us a glimpse of Sara and Dan’s Terranea Resort Wedding!

About the Photographer
Born and raised in sunny Southern California with a love for the ocean, it was no surprise that we would eventually find each other. We are now in year 15 (say what!?!) of our marriage, and still very much in love! Because we were young when we got married, people always ask us if we were shocked by the realities of marriage. I think the only thing that really shocks us is that we are still finding out new things about one another. Some things that haven’t changed, however, are our love for each other, our family, and, of course, THE BEACH! Over the past 15 years, our two grew into five and now we have a house filled with arts and crafts, Legos, very little sleep, and a whole lot of laughter. When we aren’t photographing weddings, we are taking photos of our two daughters, Carly (7) and Dylan (9) and our son, Nathan (12).

Someone once said that they spent their 20’s creating their family, and their 30’s creating themselves. We definitely agree – we are in the age of “creating ourselves” and we’ve found that wedding photography is a dream we both share a passion for. Getting to do what we love as a career is a DREAM COME TRUE!

We have been photographing beautiful couples on their big day for 10 years, and in those years, we’ve photographed over 500 weddings! We’ve also expanded our team with like-minded and talented associate photographers who share the same passion for storytelling through photography. We strive to find the most talented photographers in our field to shoot alongside us and they never cease to amaze us with their professionalism and strikingly beautiful photographs. They round out our Figlewicz Photography family.

By Car

Another day, another inspiration! Today, our screens are graced with this Rustic and Blush Bridal Session that features an outdoor wedding among horses and fields that is kept current using the popular color scheme of pink and gold with a soft romantic feel. From the luxe, pink velvet table runners to the pink dishes on gold chargers, we can definitely say that this isn’t a typical wedding theme we’re used to see on this site. Thanks to L’Estelle Photography for sharing with us these gorgeous snaps! I’m sure you’re all curious to see more, so go ahead and scroll away!

We’re All About the Details!

Harvest Tables

They used long harvest tables and kept the centerpieces as bud vases in order to both compliment the surroundings and not take away from the natural beauty of the venue.

Blush Accents

Pink velvet was used underneath the lace table runner to give some more color and some added texture to the linens. Pink dishes on gold chargers are also a simple way to elevate your table from the typical white dishes.

Bridal Facets

The bride’s bouquet was done in a garden style to once again compliment the surroundings and in muted tones with lots of greenery. Her dress was simple and fitted with a corseted bodice and lace skirt. She wore a simple gold necklace with the date of her wedding on the bar. Her hair was finished off with the same flowers from her bouquet and centerpieces.

Extra Special Details

The rest of the stationery suite was in the same color scheme as the menu and place cards and included invitations, RSVP cards and return envelopes, giving the guests a hint at the theme and color scheme of the wedding. Each place setting had a handmade, calligraphed place card and a dinner menu. Each guest also had a mini cake on their plate in place of a larger wedding cake or cupcakes.

Take this Advice

It is important to plan early especially if you have a specific theme or vision for the wedding décor and atmosphere. It is very helpful to have a wedding planner working with you, or putting together a concept board so it is easier to not get side tracked with countless other beautiful styles and décor. Most importantly, work with your photographer regarding the timeline of the wedding day! ~Annie Chang/Photographer

Lush Hawaiian Ranch Wedding

By Car

How about a dose of whimsy and wonder for today’s inspiration? I’m going to assume that all of you are nodding your heads yes, so here goes! Stephanie and Alejandro’s destination wedding is a total feast for every beach wedding fanatic out there! A laidback kind, bohemian showcase of the lush and breathtaking scenery of Kualoa Ranch Hawaii, Hawaii. We’ve hit bingo with this one, you guys! Rachel Robertson was a master in capturing every single detail of this gorgeous extravagance! So what are you waiting for? Grab your daily dose of wedding inspiration and scroll down below! Enjoy!

We’re All About the Details!

The Ceremony

Their ceremony and reception took place on a vast lawn almost encircled by strikingly majestic mountains on one side and on the other a sprawling view of the turquoise green ocean. There is a reason why so many movies are filmed here!

The Lush Color Palette

They chose soft colors that would complement the beautiful surroundings: green, blush and gold. The florals were a mix of green and blush in gold vases. They added other touches of gold with the votives, gold utensils, and gold rimmed champagne glasses.

The Florals

They wanted the floral decorations to include flowers that you could find in Hawaii so they went with king proteas, pink ginger, tillandsia air plants, silver eucalyptus and white orchids.

The Bouquet

The bride had the most incredible bouquet of proteas and her bridesmaids each held a singular king protea to match the overall theme.

The Dessert Table

They chose to have cupcakes for the guests from their favorite bakery Hokulani Cupcakes: chocolate guittard with cream cheese frosting and strawberry-guava with cream cheese frosting.

Something DIY

They decided to make their own escort cards which their guests took home with them. The bride took a calligraphy class for a few months before the wedding and hand wrote all of the escort cards and signs. The couple painted each of the escort cards with blush and light peach water colors and attached them to toy dinosaurs that they had sprayed gold. Why dinosaurs? The Jurassic Park series was famously filmed at Kualoa Ranch so they wanted to add in a fun little homage to the venue.

The Polaroid Station

They also had a Polaroid station where guests could replace their name cards with a picture of themselves. That was really special because the couple wanted to remember how much fun their guests had at the wedding. They ended up with almost 100 Polaroid pictures of the wedding!

About the Photographer
My photography style can be described as a blend of documentary, fine art, and beautiful creative images. As much as possible, I try to be in the background and photograph your day as it unfolds. During the portraits of the two of you and the bridal party, I look for interesting angles and gorgeous light to create beautiful, natural images. I love weddings, but also engagements and day after sessions. I’m based in Honolulu, Hawaii, but love to travel all over the world. That is one of the perks of being a photographer after all. My packages start at $1900 for 4 hours and I can customize packages as well. The best way to contact me is through my website.

Take this Advice

Stay true to your vision of the event and don’t do things that you feel like you are “supposed to do”. The wedding is all about the two of you so feel free to keep it that way. Have fun in the planning process and don’t get too wrapped up in the details. You can make yourself crazy by focusing too much on every little thing. ~Rachel Robertson/Photographer
