Lucky to live Hawaii. One of the many things I LOVE about calling Hawaii my home is the people and friendships I have made. Unique to Hawaii, we honor our elders by calling them either "Auntie" or "Uncle". And, if you're really close to someone, but not related to them, you may call them hanai (foster or adopted).

Melissa's hanai auntie and uncle, Laurie and Reverend Al Terry of Makena Weddings, coordinated and preformed this special event.

Thanks Scott for an awesome set of photos!

You captured the moments perfectly, and have given us the shots to remember the day in its full glory.

We can't thank you enough

Mahalo!

Awesome photos Scott - they really capture the life, energy and love Neil and Melissa have for one another - which, when i look at your pictures reminds me again and again of the moments we all shared. Such memories truly captured by film!
