La Pietra School Wedding + Kaimana Beach Waikiki Hotel | Hawaii Wedding Photography

~ Cassie & Robert ~

 La Pietra School is one of the most unique & gorgeous wedding venues on Oahu.  Located on the slopes of Diamond Head, this Hawaii wedding venue so many incredible architectural features with beautiful vines wrapping many of them throughout the school.  I’ve been friends with Cassie since we were kids. We literally lived down the street from each other, went to the same elementary, intermediate, and high school together and that made their beautiful story that much more special for me. When I first met Robert you could immediately tell they were perfect for each other. Sounds cliche but it’s so true. Robert had a small request to have something "taco" anywhere which ended up being a mini dessert taco on the back of the cake (which we jokingly came up with at one of our meetings lol), they also had late night tacos at the end of the evening with Uncle’s Ice Cream Sandwiches which were amazing! We even had the most beautiful light coming through Waikiki and into La Pietra at sunset. Cassie was always a dancer and she showed out her hip-hop dancing skills to start the party off the right way, Enjoy!

How it ended! =)
