“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We hired Marissa and Rui as our wedding photographers, which also included an engagement session, and both were wonderful experiences with amazing photos. They made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera, and the pictures from both shoots are more beautiful than we could have dreamed.”

Hawaii Destination Wedding Photography

Getting married in Hawaii means your venue, the light and the landscape all become part of the story. We photograph destination weddings across the Big Island, Maui and Oahu, with our home base here on Hawaii Island. From oceanfront celebrations in Kona to resort weddings along the Kohala Coast, we help our couples build photography timelines around Hawaii’s changing light, weather and sunset—without spending the entire wedding day away from their guests.

On the Big Island, we’ve photographed weddings at Papa Kona, Holualoa Inn, Mauna Lani and Fairmont Orchid, along with private estates, farms and beach venues. We also travel to Maui and Oahu for destination weddings, elopements and engagement sessions.
