Premier Hawaii Wedding Venues

We have built deep relationships with Hawaii's most iconic luxury wedding venues. Below are the properties we know best and love photographing.

Kahala, Honolulu

The Kahala Hotel & Resort

The Kahala Hotel & Resort occupies a category of its own in Hawaii wedding photography. Located in the quiet, residential Kahala neighborhood — about fifteen minutes east of Waikiki, removed entirely from the tourist strip — the property has served as the discreet choice for royalty, presidents, and Hollywood figures since it opened in 1964. Its private beach, manicured tropical gardens, and quietly extraordinary personal service create a setting that feels genuinely removed from everything, precisely what draws a certain kind of couple to it.

Ko Olina, Oahu

Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa

Aulani is one of Oahu's most playful and visually generous wedding venues. The property leans into Hawaii's storytelling traditions — lava-rock coves, calm lagoons, gardens layered with native plantings, and skies that turn impossibly soft at sunset. We love documenting weddings here because the property gives us multiple distinct looks within a few minutes' walk: oceanfront for ceremony portraits, bridges and palms for editorial moments, and beautifully designed interior spaces for the candid, celebratory frames that anchor a great wedding album.

Waikiki, Oahu

Halekulani Hotel

Halekulani — "House Befitting Heaven" — is one of Waikiki's most storied luxury hotels, a quiet sanctuary on the same beach Mark Twain once called the loveliest fleet of islands anchored in any ocean. We love photographing weddings at Halekulani for its understated elegance: the soft white-on-white architecture, the mature plumeria and palm gardens, and that legendary oceanfront aspect that catches the soft, late-afternoon light beautifully.

Downtown, Honolulu

Café Julia

Café Julia occupies the historic Laniākea YWCA Building in the heart of downtown Honolulu — completed in 1927 and designed by Julia Morgan, the celebrated architect behind Hearst Castle, directly across from ʻIolani Palace. The intimate venue balances old Honolulu civic character with refined modern sensibility: warm timber details, soft natural light, and a sense of place that no purpose-built event hall can replicate. For couples who want a wedding rooted in the personality of Honolulu's urban heritage rather than its beach resort identity, Café Julia offers something genuinely distinct.

Mokuleia, North Shore Oahu

Dillingham Ranch

Dillingham Ranch sits on Oahu's remote North Shore in Mokulē'ia — where the Wai'anae mountain range meets the Pacific in a sweep of green so dramatic it has served as a filming location for Lost, Pearl Harbor, 50 First Dates, Hawaii Five-0, Magnum P.I., and NCIS: Hawaii. The historic 2,700-acre working cattle and horse ranch, home to Dillingham Lodge, is one of the few Hawaii wedding venues that offers something no beach or hotel property can: scale. The mountains rise steeply behind the property, the ocean stretches to the horizon in front, and the green hills between them roll in a way that makes every photograph feel cinematic whether or not you try.

Kahuku, North Shore Oahu

Pohaku Nui Ranch

Pohaku Nui Ranch occupies a sweeping parcel on Oahu's North Shore near Kahuku, where the land opens into dramatic views of the Ko'olau Range on one side and agricultural fields rolling toward the Pacific on the other. The property is rawer and more secluded than most Oahu venues — less infrastructure, more open land, and a quality of solitude that is genuinely rare on the island. For couples drawn to the spirit of Oahu's agricultural heartland rather than its resort corridors, Pohaku Nui offers a setting of unusual honesty.

Waikiki, Oahu

The Royal Hawaiian

The Royal Hawaiian — known universally as 'The Pink Palace of the Pacific' — has stood on Waikiki Beach since 1927, an icon so distinctive in its Moorish-Spanish Colonial architecture and its rose-pink color that it is recognizable in a photograph from a hundred yards away. We love photographing weddings at The Royal Hawaiian because the hotel has something that no recently built property can offer: a century of context. The pink towers reflected in the pool at golden hour, the historic Ocean Lawn stretching to the sand — these images carry the weight of a legendary address, and they show.

Ko Olina, Oahu

Four Seasons Resort Oahu at Ko Olina

On Oahu's sunny leeward coast, Four Seasons Resort Oahu at Ko Olina occupies one of the island's most luminous stretches of protected shoreline. The property's polished service, oceanfront lawns, and quietly grand interiors give us the freedom to shoot in nearly any light and on nearly any scale — from a private vow exchange at sunrise to a black-tie reception under chandeliers. We know which terrace catches the best golden hour, and we know how to keep the day running while quietly making art.

Kaneohe & Waikiki, Oahu

Haiku Gardens & Moana Surfrider

Haiku Gardens and Moana Surfrider represent two of Oahu's most beloved and visually distinct wedding environments, and we photograph them together because couples often pair them within a single celebration — ceremony at one, reception at the other. Haiku Gardens in Kaneohe is a koi pond and tropical garden estate set beneath the Ko'olau mountains; the Moana Surfrider is Waikiki's 'First Lady,' a 1901 historic landmark directly on the beach. The contrast between garden intimacy and oceanfront grandeur produces an unusually varied and deeply characterful wedding album.
