Jessica and Andrew chose to celebrate their love in a way that felt completely true to them: peaceful, personal, and centered on connection. Their wedding at the Lutheran Church of the Holy Trinity in Kailua-Kona embraced the natural beauty of Hawaii and the intimacy of a small guest list. It wasn’t about putting on a show, it was about creating space to be fully present with the people who mean the most.


The A-frame chapel, with its clean lines and laid-back charm, was tucked into the tropical greenery just a short drive from the coast. Inside, natural light filtered through tall windows, illuminating the simple yet beautiful floral touches of baby’s breath and soft greenery that lined the altar. The setting felt grounded and utterly them.


With only their closest family and friends in attendance, the day moved at a calm, intentional pace. There was time to breathe, to laugh, and to savor every moment—from the gentle hum of conversation before the ceremony to the quiet glances shared between Jessica and Andrew as they stood hand in hand at the altar.


The sea and sky inspired their color palette. Soft blue tones are paired with clean whites and warm gold accents, subtly woven through their paper goods, table settings, and florals. Each detail was thoughtfully chosen to complement the natural surroundings rather than compete with them, creating an effortless elegance that felt both elevated and deeply personal.


This wedding was a beautiful reminder that it’s not the size of the celebration that makes it memorable, but the heart behind it. Jessica and Andrew’s day was filled with authenticity, gratitude, and love, exactly the kind of wedding that lingers in your memory long after its over.
