Oahu Wedding Photographer – Ashley and Andrew’s Wedding – Hilton Hawaiian Village

Ashley and Andrew had a beautiful outdoor wedding on the Lagoon Lawn at the Hilton Hawaiian Village on the island of Oahu in Hawaii. 100 of their family and friends traveled from all over (including Las Vegas and New Jersey) to celebrate the start of Ashley and Andrew’s new life together.

The stunning floral designs were done by Debbie Hemmingway of Designs by Hemmingway. We were one of the fortunate people chosen to take home one of the centerpieces and days later our house is still perfumed by the arrangement.  Ashley’s wedding colors were royal blue, pink, and white.  The 3 tier round wedding cake was done by Shelbys Sweets.

This wedding reception partied on late into the night in the Rainbow Suite of Hilton Hawaiian Village.  Eric and I couldn’t help ourselves and had to get out on the dance floor for a few songs. Congratulations to this beautiful couple and best wishes from Eric and Wendy of L’amour Photography!

Our friends over at Kai Media have been having some fun with some of the footage from the recent Oahu Wedding Association briadal fashion show. The opening shot is Wendy getting her hair done.. followed by both of us dorking around doing a husband and wife photo shoot.

Enjoy!

Thanks to Kai-Media for their awesome work! Check out two of our favorite Kai-Media videos. Wendy’s favorite is  from a wedding in Lanikai (click here to see video).  My favorite video is an “artistic battle music video.” I don’t even know how to put it into words. Its simply amazing!

Oahu Engagement Photographer – Michelle and Wayne’s photos by L’amour

Unique and Creative portrait on Oahu by L'amour photographers in Hawaii

Michelle and Wayne came all the way from Sin City Las Vegas, Nevada for their wedding at Hilton Hawaiian Village’s Crystal Chapel.  Unfortunately we weren’t available to shoot their wedding, but we did get the opportunity to shoot their “post-wedding portraits”/”engagment photos.” Michelle and Wayne were so great to work with.  We hiked around the Blowhole Lookout and Sandy Beach and got some really awesome shots. This may be one of our favorite ring photos we have ever done.

We wish you of happy years together! Best wishes from Eric and Wendy at L’amour Photography.

Hawaii Wedding Photographer – Kaori and David’s Big Day- Haiku Gardens

We’ve been to some really fun receptions, but Kaori and David’s family and friends are in a league of their own! Kaori’s close friends even choreographed a dance routine involving fake mustaches, suspenders, balloon animal making, and spinning buckets of water! If that isn’t an equation for a lively reception and awesome pictures, I don’t know what is.

This amazing wedding was held at Haiku Gardens in Kaneohe on the windward side of Oahu.  Haiku Event Coordinator Tina Scotty made sure every detail was perfect.  Merryl of Island Treats Creations designed and set up the beautiful decorations and favors. The wedding favors were petite jars of Hawaiian honey packaged in brown paper boxes with a heart closure and orange ribbon trim.  Kaori’s bouqet was made up of various tropical hawaiian flowers with vibrant orange, yellow, green and purples.  Kaori wore a simply gorgeous ivory wedding gown with a strapless sweetheart neckline.  Kaori’s viel was the perfect compliment to her stunning dress with  scalloped edges thinly lines with ribbon.  David wore a simple but sharp looking short sleeve ivory aloha shirt with a light pink tie.

Hawaii Wedding Photographer – Anela and Ikaika’s Big Day

I appreciate when brides step out of the limits of a traditional wedding and personalize the wedding so that it is a true reflection of their life and style.  Anela wore a beautiful orange silk sheath dress for her garden wedding. The bouquets were a complimentary mix of yellows and oranges that went perfectly with her dress. We have been seeing more and more orange in wedding color schemes lately. Even Martha Stewart digs this Anela’s color choices as seen in a recent article online.  Ikaika went with a more traditional white aloha shirt paired with his white Oakley sunglasses.  Anela’s daughter serenaded the girls as they got their hair and makeup done by singing Bob Marley’s Three Little Birds. So funny!

We were so happy to meet such a sweet couple and to be part of their big day!

Destination Wedding – Shazarie and Nicholas’ Big Day – Moana Surfrider, Kahala Resort, Waialae Beach Park

Shazarie and Nicholas came all the way from Washington for their intimate beach ceremony at Waialae Beach Park.

Shazarie and her girls got ready at one of our favorite places, the Sheraton Moana Surfrider Hotel at Waikiki Beach. It was an absolutely gorgeous day with perfectly blue skies out her window as she got her hair done by  Sarah of Wendy Robin’s Studio W. You may recognize makeup artist Wendy Robin’s name from our previous article about Eric and I modeling wedding gowns for the Oahu Wedding Association meeting at Masako Formals.  If you haven’t yet, you must check out Wendy’s work. Not only is she a sweet person who does amazing hair and makeup, she has also done makeup for celebrities including Carmen Electra, Ali Landry, and Michelle Rodriguez.

Shazarie, Nick and the whole group were picked up by two limos and taken to Waialae Beach Park for their ceremony which was officiated by Shazarie’s father.
