So Cherry and Tristan had their wedding ceremony in Maui at the beginning of August. Knowing that everyone would not be able to be there with them, they hosted their wedding reception back home in California the following week.
With so much going on before leaving for Maui, they scrambled around trying to find another venue for their reception. Apparently, The Lexington Plaza Waterfront Hotel, the original venue, had decided to close its doors without any prior notice. Just imagine how devastating that must've been! Fortunately, The Hilton was able to squeeze them in the very same weekend that the formal invitations had stated. Much props to Janice Coloma, Cherry's younger sister and maid of honor, who played a huge part in organizing and re- organizing the special occasion.
The celebration was held in Stockton on a beautiful, warm day. By the end of the night, everyone was pretty much glad that Cherry and Tristan's special day had ended with a huge success. Once again, best wishes to the happy couple as they embark on another chapter of their lives, together.

Love is always patient and kind.
It is never jealous.
Love is never boastful or conceited.
It is never rude or selfish.
It does not take offence and is not resentful.
Love takes no pleasure in other people's sins,
but delights in the truth.
It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope,
and to endure whatever comes.
- A Walk to Remember
Tristan and Cherry are from Manteca, Ca and decided to have their wedding ceremony in Hawaii, on the beautiful island of Maui. Tristan has been going to the island almost every summer to visit family, but as for Cherry, her first time there turned out to be her wedding destination. The bride and groom exchanged vows right before sunset on the beautiful beach of Po'olenalena in Wailea.
We are very excited about the opportunity to photograph this amazing wedding. For many of us, whether a hopeless romantic or not, we truly believe that love can conquer all and get us through anything. As for this newlywed, they are not an exception. They had many, many obstacles to face in trying to put their big day together. Hurricane Felicia lurking miles away, a missed flight, a forgotten dress, and a last minute venue cancellation, just to name only a few. What better way to test a marraige if not from the very beginning, right? Along with their close friends and family who were there to witness the junction of their marraige, we are so happy that these two were able to pull it off and kick "bad luck" right in the face. Love does conquer all, doesn't it? We wish Tristan and Cherry all the very best in their life long journey together as husband and wife. Aloooooha!
