Mar & Pete… the journey continues <3
In the midst of one of our busiest wedding seasons, Peter and I took some time for ourselves to celebrate each other and our 25th wedding anniversary. Â Not the most ideal time for a vacation for us but with the work that we do, we felt it was the right thing to honour our own special anniversary!
I have always wanted to go to Hawaii and Maui didn’t disappoint! Most of these photos were taken with my little Fugifilm x100s, it is small but mighty 🙂 .  When I take this camera along it lets me be more present in the moment, rather than lugging gear around.
We spent a lot of time driving around the island, doing what we love, exploring!  We crossed a few things off our bucket list that I didn’t even know were on it!
- Riding in a helicopter which was fun and a little scary, but the view was breathtaking.
- Driving the winding road to Hana and the narrow road around the west side of Maui, which is so narrow that it is recommended that you drive it clockwise. Â We only met a few cars coming the other direction (those daredevils) and fortunately no one fell off the edge!
- Getting up in the middle of the night to drive up to the top of the Halakeleah Crater to watch the sunrise in the bitter cold.
- Snorkelling while holding hands with my husband (so not to lose each other) was lovely and made me feel like we were the only two.
- Drinking mai tais, watching a luau and the setting sun. The sunsets… I can never get enough!
Peter and I have the pleasure of working with a lot of couples as they marry and I wish them all the happiness we have found over the last 25 years.  If we can give a little advice… love each other madly, have adventures always and stay young at heart!
Love the photos – you’re very talented Marla.
Glad you and Peter had a great time celebrating your special anniversary.
It so happens that Edna and John Jenkins just celebrated their 64th wedding anniversary yesterday (27th March). I don’t think they ventured out the house even – just a quiet celebration for them!
Lots of love
Susan and Brian
Beautiful photos Marla & Peter . Looking forward to the next feature. Love Hawaii !!
