Miki & Aaron welcomed over 175 guests to their chic estate wedding at Dillingham Ranch on October 6th, 2012. The wedding was simple yet stunning in between a row of palms that made a natural aisle in the back yard. After the 'I Dos' guests ventured to the front lawn to enjoy performances by THREE aerial artists from Samadhi Hawaii and live music by Aidan James. Dinner was under the stars in a romantically draped and chandelier lit clear top tent on the back lawn. The last toast of the evening was given by her bridesmaid Halla (pictured left) in which she compared the closeness of her relationship to the bride with that of peanut butter and jelly. It was one of the cutest little toasts you ever did hear, so we just HAD to capture the moment by having these two 'sisters from another mister' strike a pose with us! Congratulations to Miki & Aaron!

The Girls are Back in Town! 

Normally I select a cute little photo of the bride and groom for the blog post, but this was just too good to pass up! Jaclyn & Chris welcomed friends from all over the globe, a few of which were her bridesmaids and besties from back on the East Coast. After the gorgeous clock tower ceremony at Aloha Tower Marketplace, the guests enjoyed a well planned and thoughtful program of dinner and dancing under the stars. This crowd was a hoot and we couldn't wait to see what each new group would come up with! Take a look at our gallery page for a sampling of our favorites. If that piques your curiosity for more, head on over to our Facebook page to see Jaclyn & Chris's love{struck} photo album. 

The Wedding Cafe | Ward Center | 08.22.12

Love{struck} had so much fun at the Wedding Cafe Wednesday Night Workshop entitled It's All About the Details. We debuted our newest backdrop, a bold red and white striped sensation we call Americana. This backdrop was inspired by a photo we saw in a magazine many moons ago. We brought it to the attention of a very popular backdrop company on the mainland who loved it so much, they made our dream a reality! We love it's bright cheery disposition and it's modern nod to the military. With five different bases on our island, we are excited to have something to offer our military brides who want something a bit more subtle than a flag. We also had a chance to show off our snazzy new burlap bunting displaying our name nice and high for all to see! The end of our presentation revealed a special surprise raffle of a custom designed guest book by a bookbinding artist in San Francisco valued at $225. We had a blast with everyone who came to play and enjoyed putting out our newest "trimmings" (or props) for the first time to our Wedding Cafe Workshop Attendees.  To see all the great images from this event click on the "gallery" tab above.

Check us out in action by watching the Wedding Cafe video. After the intro, skip ahead to 38:33 to watch our presentation and see my favorite props!

April & Andrew | Hale Koa | 02.19.12

We had so much fun at April & Andrew's wedding (otherwise known as A²). Over 150 poses were 'struck' for us and we loved them all! Check out our gallery page to see a sneak peek of some of our favorites. (For even more from this event click here)

April's mother Bonnie was instrumental in ensuring the color scheme of the event was carried through to our photo lounge as well! She sewed this custom pumpkin striped backdrop that provided a playful and stylish canvas for all the guests.

The fun didn't stop there, because we had a custom Coptic  stitched guest book made in A²'s wedding colors. Guests were given two copies of their keepsake photos, and asked to share one in the guest book with a note to the bride and groom.

We had so much fun with this cross-fit savvy group and all the creative poses they maneuvered-handstands and human dead-lifting were just a few!

Action!

We were so thankful to Tanna Dang and The Wedding Cafe for inviting us to participate in the Cake and Catering Workshop just for brides and grooms. To see what we look like in action, click here!

Anthropologie-esque props, fashionably dressed technicians, immediate pritining & emailing of photos, and most importantly phenomenal service that makes worthy of your wedding!

Mallory & David| Trump Waikiki | 09.24.11

Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Mallory & David Schutt. Love{struck} had a fabulous time playing dress up with you and all your guests at the gorgeous Trump Waikiki. All the sunshine and tropical breezes put everyone in the perfect mood to strike a pose! Our favorites involved a certain little girl in a certain princess crown ;-)

April & James| Beach Front Oasis | 09.29.11

Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. April & James Binari. Love{struck} had so much fun helping you and your guests celebrate your big day. We are so glad y'all enjoyed striking a pose with us. We loved that the football and pom poms were a crowd favorite, so we definitely see more sports equipment in our future!

The Wedding Cafe | Ward Warehouse | 09.28.11

Thank you to The Wedding Cafe for inviting us to debut love{struck} at their Wednesday Night Workshop! We had a great time taking photos of all the couples so they could have a first hand experience with our company and take home a souvenir as well!

Throughout the night we offered our custom props (which we call "trimmings"), personal styling and two different backdrops to chose from. Guests not only got to take home their photo printed on site, but were able to email it instantly via our iPad technology!

Though we specialize in weddings, our photo lounge lends itself perfectly to corporate events too! We add more custom "trimmings" all the time, so let us know if you have a special event or theme!
