The Willows 12/10/12

We always like taking wedding photos at the Willows because the charming wedding chapel and the waterfall are great backgrounds. The Willows is an excellent venue for having your wedding, formal photography, and reception all in one compact place.

Engagement Photos at Turtle Bay

The beach at Turtle Bay on Oahu's northern tip is a gorgeous setting for wedding formals, family portraits, and engagement photos like these.

An Indian Wedding

Traditional Indian wedding ceremonies are very colorful and elaborate. This one took place at a wonderful beach home in the Koko Head area owned by model Kathy Ireland. This was one of many weddings where we have done both the photography and the video. Check out our video page for video highlights.

Formals at Kakaako Beach Park

If you have your wedding ceremony somewhere in Honolulu, Kakaako Beach Park can be a good choice for having formal pictures taken. Since it's a little hard to find compared to most beach parks, it's not crowded, and its many hills allow for a variety of backdrops all in one place.

Makapuu Beach, 5/4/11

Makapuu Beach is beautiful, but it can be a challenge to get photos there without people appearing in the background. But we know this spot very well and have found some places where it looks like you have the beach all to yourselves.

Family Portraits at the Academy of Arts, 4/21/11

The Honolulu Academy of Arts is a good example of a lesser-known location for portrait photography.

Wedding at St. Augustine Cathedral, 2/16/11

The St. Augustine Cathedral in Waikiki has beautiful stained glass. We try to make use of it in our formal photography whenever possible. Like many churches, it's a little too dark for photography using just the available light during the ceremony, but we adjust our flash so it's not obvious. Nearby Waikiki Beach is a good place for some more formals, if you don't mind having other people in the background!
