There are few places on the island of Oahu that provide a beautiful and relaxed elegance. The Kahala Hotel & Resort is the romanticized dream of a destination wedding in Hawaii. An ideal venue, the resort is nestled in-between the slopes of Koko Head and Diamond Head craters on the South-East side of the island. While the majority of Oahu Resorts are surrounded by the hustle and bustle of tour busses, throngs of vacationers, and tour guides gathering their groups on the busy sidewalks, the Kahala stands as an oasis. Set back from the city of Waikiki, the Kahala offers tranquility with a backdrop of pristine Hawaii landscapes.

Perhaps it is this feeling of intimacy that makes the Kahala one of the most desirable locations for not only brides to be, but many of Hollywood's rich and famous. The Kahala Hotel is a mixture of Hawaiiana with mid century mod, reminiscent of the days when Elizabeth Taylor and Frank Sinatra frequented the Hotel. It is one of the few hotels that have managed to maintain that luxury and impeccable service that was so inherent in hotels during the days of old Hollywood.

As professional wedding photographers in Hawaii, the Kahala is one of our favorite locations for wedding photography. We marvel at the gorgeous open lobby with giant chandeliers of Italian fused glass. We adore the spiraling orchid staircase that showcases the dozens of rare orchid breeds in a living wall. While the inside of the resort is immaculate, we absolutely can't get enough of the 800 ft stretch of white sand beach we have all to ourselves in the late afternoon hours. While those are some of our favorite spots, the resort boasts of waterfalls, dolphins, gazebos, and hosts the largest hotel suite in Hawaii measuring in at 550 square feet! There are endless photo opportunities to capture you and your beloved ones for that magical day.

If you are looking for a picturesque location for a wedding where you can feel pampered and catered to, look no further than the Kahala Hotel & Resort. People from around the world come to celebrate their marriage here and theres no question as to why.

We absolutely adored capturing Zac + Kate's beautiful romantic wedding last month at the Andaz Maui.

From the intricate details of Kate's dress, to the incredible lush arrangements on the reception tables, we love telling our clients' stories of their special day through our lens.

Residing on the South-West side of the beautiful island of Maui, the Andaz is located in the quaint town of Wailea. One of the advantages toward having your wedding in an exclusive location such as this one, is the intimacy that comes with it.

Destination weddings are becoming more and more popular for the couple that's looking to escape to paradise with just a few of their closest family and friends to celebrate their love.

Allow us to enhance your wedding experience with our team of professionals capturing every moment from your day.
