Oahu Hawaii Wedding Venue

Kualoa Ranch Secret Island & Moli’i Gardens is perfect for the modern, luxurious, adventurous, and timeless couple. A whimsical beach ceremony at Secret Island and a tropical lush reception to top it off. Who’s ready to have their dream destination wedding in Hawaii?!

The Couple

Ellexis & Eric were so amazing from the time we jumped on a consultation call where we chatted about their dream day, what they envisioned, their friends & family traveling from afar to witness this amazing day, and how special it’d be if I could capture their photos for one of the biggest days of their lives.

They got engaged in Budapest and Eric proposed with one of the BIGGEST rings I’ve ever seen. Ellexis was so happy and started planning their wedding shortly after. They explained how important photography was to them and capturing the moment. Me, my assistant, as well as a drone photographer came together to capture this insanely perfect day. We had ALL hands on deck to get every glimpse, memory, and cheeky kiss from their day to compile and send the most stunning gallery.

The Wedding Experience

We spent the entire weekend with them – from a BBQ at the beach, jumping in the water, and then of course their wedding day getting ready, the ceremony, and ending it off with dancing and a fire knife dance. Their wedding weekend was immaculate. I’m still dreaming about this wedding and all the details coming together to celebrate this amazing couple.

From hanging out at the beach to taking a boat ride just to get to the ceremony spot, taking photos at the cabanas that were used to film the Dinsey movie Moana, and all the way to the tailored details of giving out boarding passes with the guest’s seat number on them (since the groom is a pilot). It was truly thought out in coordinating the dream day.

I’m so grateful the Ripley’s trusted me and my team to capture their big wedding day and love that we get the opportunity to photograph love stories time and time again.

Reach out to me HERE if you’re ready to lock in with me and my team! LET’S DO THE DANG THING!
