Amanda & Dylan's Elegant Waikiki Wedding

There's something truly special about celebrating your wedding in the heart of Waikiki. With breathtaking ocean views, world-famous beaches just steps away, and the vibrant energy of Honolulu,

Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort is an incredible venue for couples dreaming of a destination wedding in Hawaii.

Amanda, who traveled from California, and Dylan, a Hawaii local, brought together family and friends for a beautiful day filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable island memories. We had the honor of capturing both photography and videography, documenting every meaningful moment from the morning preparations through the evening celebration.

Getting Ready & A Beautiful Ceremony

The wedding day began inside the Hyatt Regency, where excitement filled the suites as Amanda and her bridal party got ready. Every detail—from the dress and flowers to the emotional moments shared with family—helped tell the story of the day.

Their ceremony was heartfelt and personal, beautifully officiated by Oahu Officiant, with Waikiki's tropical atmosphere creating the perfect backdrop for their vows.

One of the reasons we love photographing weddings in Waikiki is the incredible variety of locations available within just a few minutes, giving couples timeless portraits while keeping the day relaxed and enjoyable.

Sunset Portraits Along Waikiki Beach

After the ceremony, we headed out for couple portraits as the afternoon light softened over Waikiki Beach. Between the ocean views, swaying palm trees, and iconic scenery, Amanda and Dylan's portraits perfectly reflected the beauty of Hawaii and the excitement of starting their new chapter together.

As a husband-and-wife photo and video team, we love working seamlessly together so our couples receive a complete collection of memories without ever feeling rushed.
