Makena Cove wash out.......what to do?

aloha everyone,

I had the pleasure of executing Stephen Goff & Marilyn Whittington's wedding on June 12th, 2010 at Poolenalena Beach Wailea. As all couples do, Stephen & Marilyn pre-picked Makena Cove Wailea for their special event this past weekend. Well, unfortunately, when we all arrived, we had come to see that the ocean tide had other plans for Makena Cove that day. The entire beach was washed out due to the fluctuating high tide.

With limited time to make a decision, Barry Frankel Photography suggests to use Poolenalena Beach, a long stretch of white sand, giving us the flexibility for intimacy & privacy to execute their event! Thank goodness, our secondary beach permited location was poolenalena. We all jump in our cars and head back to poolenalena to get them Maui'd!

As in life, the couple accepted this new change, and Island Sunset Weddings managed to have Marilyn & Stephen say "I do" with plenty of time for sunset photos! As in life, sometimes we have to go with the flow, just like the ocean!!

Enjoy these amazing images taken by Barry Frankel Photography!
