Chic Hawaii Wedding by Joanna Tano Photography

When I saw these photos, I completely fell in love with this beaming, happy couple. The bride, Gabriella, grew up in Maui and always dreamed of having her wedding there. She met Zach when they were freshman in college at Northeastern University in Boston. It was love at first sight for Zach, but it took a few years for Gabriella to fall head over heels. Here’s a peek at their barefoot beach wedding and chic, candlelit reception. {Photos by Joanna Tano Photography}.The couple wanted the ceremony and reception to be an organic reflection of the Hawaiian landscape and their modern style. Gabriella wore a sophisticated, beach-casual dress by Judd Waddell; the groom was adorned by a gorgeous leigh of greenery. The breezy sunset ceremony on the beach was followed by a full moon gathering at a private residence. I’m in awe of the incredible candlelight and chic black and white tablescapes…
