I’m ridiculously pumped to feature a preview of Hiledana and Ian’s summer Hakone Gardens wedding ceremony and their The GlassHouse wedding reception on the La Brisa blog!
One of my favorite moments from Hiledana and Ian’s day was when I was driving them from their early morning ceremony to their airbnb, I looked in my rearview to see Hiledana and two of her bridesmaids completely passed out asleep. First time I’ve ever had a bride fall asleep on me during a wedding day and selfishly, I loved that I could provide that level of comfort to her on her wedding day.
Hiledana and Ian’s wedding was one of the most unique days that I have ever experienced. The combining of Ethiopian and British cultures in an epic celebration was an impressive sight to behold. I loved seeing how much Ian respects and honors Hiledana’s family and traditions. With the Ethiopian band performing all night, nobody ever left the dance floor and the party kept rocking until they ran through their sparkler exit!
A huge thanks to Heather of Moggia Events for being a rockstar coordinator who prepped, planned and executed the perfect day that made my job sooooo much easier!
Congratulations again on celebrating your lifelong commitment! Thank you for trusting me with your wedding! Be sure to “LIKE” the La Brisa FB page (www.facebook.com/labrisaphotography) where I will be posting more of your wedding photos! Enjoy your Maui honeymoon!!!
