Photos are almost always a top priority when it comes to having a destination wedding. After all, the special day lives on in the moments captured on camera! We believe this blue-hued photoshoot in the breathtaking hills of Hawaii is the perfect tool for gaining a wealth of inspiration for your dream destination wedding. Talented photographer, Vanessa Hicks, says it was a unique shade of blue that set her into this inspirational photoshoot frenzy!

“I fell in love with this gorgeous dusty blue skirt and I knew that I wanted to photograph a gorgeous, romantic, princess-like shoot! The combination of the whimsical side braid and florals in the hair, the Koolau Ballrooms in the background, the most beautiful cake, vintage limo, and so much more [ensured] real-life couple Ashlyn and Patrick got the wedding photos of their dreams,” Vanessa says.
