“Veiled in Rain, Crowned in Light: Ann Marie & Daniel’s Wedding on the Shores of Maui”
October 14, 2023
The sky softened just as Ann Marie stepped forward—misty rain catching on her veil like a whispered blessing, and a rainbow unfolding behind them as if heaven itself had taken notice. Surrounded by their closest family and friends, Ann Marie and Daniel Botero were married in a quiet, radiant celebration at Hotel Wailea in Maui, Hawaii.
Ann Marie wore a gown by Lian Rokman, elegant and striking, discovered at Panache Bridal in Beverly Hills. “There was a shift in me when I wore it,” she recalled. “I smiled differently. I felt beautiful in a way I hadn’t before.” The gown’s sculpted silhouette and soft details mirrored the balance of grace and strength Ann Marie brought into her wedding day.
The ceremony began with light rain, transforming the atmosphere into something sacred—soft, lush, intimate. And when the sky cleared, a rainbow arched behind them. “It felt surreal,” she said. “A moment we’ll carry with us forever.”
Planned by Sonia Studios with florals by Teresa Sena Designs, the day unfolded with refined simplicity. Every detail—artisan furniture from Artisan Events Maui, calligraphy by @missbcalligraphy, and makeup by Giovanna Beauty—reflected the island’s spirit and Ann Marie’s timeless taste.
Captured by Klose Up Photography and filmed by Keepsake Motion, their wedding felt like a poem—unfolding gently, effortlessly, and with reverence for love’s quiet power.
After the celebration, Ann Marie entrusted her gown to Elegance Preserved for expert cleaning and preservation. “I want to one day show it to my children,” she said, storing them at the preservation boxes : “To let them see a part of who I was on the day our family began.”
