There is no denying that this gorgeous couple is absolutely in love! The excitement was definitely in the air when we arrived at Haiku Gardens in Kaneohe, Oahu to begin photographing this wedding. This stunningly beautiful bride wore a knock-out mermaid shaped dress with rouching on the bodice and a dramatic flared train. We love how this stylish bride wore a classic pearl necklace and an orchid in her hair to complement her striking wedding dress. More and more of our Hawaii destination wedding brides have been styling their hair with a flower, always on the left side signifying that you are now a married woman, in lieu of a wedding veil.

This destination wedding couple had their wedding ceremony in the open air Tahitian Chapel at Haiku Gardens followed by an intimate dinner with their guests at Haleiwa Joe’s Restaurant at the same location in Kaneohe on Oahu. If you have never been to Haleiwa Joe’s for dinner or their popular Sunday Brunch, you really have to! Ridiculously large mai tais, the best prime rib we have ever had on Hawaii, delicious local favorites like edamame and ahi poke, and an array of locally caught fresh fish plates are just some of the reasons we always make it a point to bring our visiting friends and family members here. Aside from the food, just checkout that view! Simply breathtaking!
The view from this Hawaii Wedding Reception at Haleiwa Joe's in Kaneohe is amazing!
Congratulations to this wonderful couple and thank you for having us as part of your Oahu Wedding! Mahalo!
We have just returned from shooting a fun filled wedding on the beautiful Caribbean island of St Maarten and couldn’t wait to share a sneak peek with you all! This tiny island is known for its crystal clear teal waters, friendly people, wonderful food and the beachfront St Maarten Airport (SXM) landing strip. As the sun was setting on this bride and grooms destination wedding, we were lucky enough to be graced with the presence of an incoming plane! With the roar of jet engines preparing for take off and planes flying right over our heads, this was definitely the most thrilling sunset shoot we have ever done.

This beautiful Hawaii destination wedding was held at Loulu Palm Estate on the North Shore of Oahu. We just finished up an 11 inch by 14 inch album of this wedding and wanted to share their album layout with you. The combination of blues and oranges made for a vibrant tropical feel for this all outdoor ceremony and reception. REA Events created canopies with up-lighting for the lounge area and over each reception table to create a more intimate feel on the large estate. Cake Works created a three tier wedding cake with thin layers of white chocolate surrounding the layers giving this wedding cake a truly unique look. Exquisite Hawaiian Wedding designed the vibrant orange orchid centerpieces, bouquets and the hanging wood and floral arrangements for the ceremony aisle. Les Saisons provided the linens, while Beaches and Backyards Catering and Twilight Audio made sure the guests were well fed and fully entertained.

A day like this only comes along once every hundred years, and for this special couple their wedding day on 10.10.10 was, more importantly, once in a lifetime! Thirty nine thousand couples started the rest of their lives together on this special date, but our Hawaii Destination Wedding couple came all the way from Australia to have their wedding dreams realized in a gorgeous black, white, and green themed wedding. The Ihilani Resort and Spa was the ideal ocean front wedding venue for this stylish and modern Hawaii wedding.
This Black and White wedding dress and bridesmaid dress were custom made to fit the brides ideal wedding dress. The wedding dress was a white sweetheart cut corset top with a ball gown skirt. A black sash with white lining accented the bodice with the back of the dress featuring black covered buttons that actually functioned requiring some effort from her maid of honor and a trusty button hook.
The entire wedding party prepared at their hotel in Waikiki Beach at the Outrigger Waikiki. Once everyone had their hair and makeup done and we all dressed, a charter bus took the wedding party and all of their guests to the wedding on the leeward side of Oahu.
Green wedding details brought a pop of color to this black and white themed wedding. The groom’s boutonnière was a green rose with black ribbon accented by thin white ribbon. The cocktail tables had an arrangement of green roses, hydrangeas, and a few white flowers in a square black vase keeping with the sleek modern feel of this wedding. The bride’s bouquet was made of striking green calla lilies wrapped in black satin ribbon and accented by white pins.
This Australian bride and groom paid tribute to this Hawaii wedding setting with a lauhala covered wedding ring pillow with a black satin ribbon and parasols for the guests.

This black, white and green themed wedding had personalized M&Ms that said “mahalo” and the bride and grooms’ initials “n + d.” The lower case monogram that was used throughout the wedding design details is a modern style twist on the classic monogram.
The two tiered round wedding cake was simple and modern with black and white fondant. A sweet little bow and fondant flower topped the wedding cake. Framed black and white old wedding photos of relatives circled the table.
So many great Hawaii wedding vendors were involved in the execution of this 10.10.10 Oahu Wedding. Christina Farrow with Pacific Aisles Inc did a wonderful job coordinating this Hawaii destination wedding. Cake Gallery made the beautiful cake. Flower Farm was the florist for these unique green bouquets and centerpieces. Event Essentials provided the lounge furniture and decor. Mood Event provided the drapery and lighting.

Kristen and Michael enjoy nature and the outdoors so when they decided to have their wedding in Hawaii they chose Haiku Gardens in Kaneohe as their ideal Oahu wedding venue. This sweet couple came prepared for their Hawaii wedding and had a cute clear umbrella with white hearts on hand when they received some lucky rain on their wedding day. Congratulations to this wonderful couple. We wish you many great adventures from here on out!
This Hawaii wedding featured red and orange wedding details including glass vases of orange and red roses hanging from the ceremony gold chivari chairs. The wedding card box was made of red leather suitcases embellished with vintage style stickers of the various places they love. The bride’s bouquet had red, white, and orange tropical flowers with lace ribbon and tiny framed photos of relatives. This is a subtle but touching way of keeping your loved ones close on such an important day.

Ever since we became proud puppy parents, we’ve learned so many ways that a dog can change your life for the better. At Corie and Bryan’s recent destination wedding at Turtle Bay, we learned of yet another. When Bryan brought his dog in for obedience training he had no idea the trainer would someday join him on Oahu to become his Wife.
Since Corie & Bryan had chose Oahu for their Hawaii Wedding, Turtle Bay was the perfect venue for them. Not only did Corie train dogs, she also is passionate about horses – the beach by the Stables at Turtle bay made a perfect backdrop for their Hawaii Wedding. While Corie was planning the wedding, she fell in love with the Pink and Yellow Plumeria flowers and decided to not only use the flowers in her bouquet, but also to use the colors of the flowers as the weddings color theme. 
As it was an intimate destination wedding, Corie & Bryan were able to have their reception in Turtle Bay’s beautiful pavilion. 
Congratulations Corie & Bryan!! To see more Weddings at Turtle Bay by Hawaii Wedding Photographers at L’Amour Photography, browse through our blog or check out this destination wedding, Daily Shot of Love, or this gallery of photos of the grounds of Turtle Bay Resort.

This beautiful blue and brown themed Hawaii Wedding took place on our personal favorite day of the entire year, Halloween at Waterfront at Aloha Tower. This wedding was particularly special to our photographers because Eric was actually the best man in this wedding. Talk about multitasking!
Mishell was such a stunning bride in her ivory colored gown and cathedral length veil. Wendy and Heather of Studio W did a great job, as always, on Mishell’s hair and makeup.
This Blue and Brown themed wedding incorporated ocean inspired details for this Hawaii Wedding with a silver starfish on the ring bearer’s pillow and blue glass bead jewelry for the bridesmaids.
Above is a nighttime shot of Aloha Tower during this Hawaii Wedding reception at the Waterfront. One of L’amour Photography’s lead photographers is shown giving a heartfelt Bestman speech. I have heard countless touching speeches but have seen very few that left so many of the guests wiping tears away as this one.
These are some of the most modern and unique styled champagne glasses for the bride and groom. This funky blue and brown fondant cake was done by Noel Nahale. Two of L’amour’s team of photographers, Wendy and Eric, are pictured below partying it up with the couple’s Shiba Inu, Inuki, and the beautiful bride and maid of honor.

Like I said in Lisa & David’s Halekulani Hawaii Wedding blog, one of the things that is true of every wedding day is that hours seem to turn into seconds and the day flies by. Lisa & David wanted to make sure that they spent as much of their day as possible with their friends and family, but still wanted to have wedding portraits at their favorite beach.
Instead of spending an hour or two doing portraits on the day of their wedding, they chose to do a day after session. Their big day went perfectly smooth, they got to spend more time with their friends and family, and they had a great beach session without all the wedding day anxiety.

Myla and Tommy were such a great couple to work with. From the moment we met them, we were struck by how nice they were and how SO in love they were. We started our day with the beautiful bride as she and her bridesmaids got their hair and makeup done by Beauty By May in their room at the Waikiki Marina Resort at the Illikai in Honolulu. Myla wore an absolutely gorgeous ivory colored chiffon destination wedding dress by Maggie Sottero Destination with a corset back and an elegant one shouldered strap adorned with fabric flowers.
She honestly looked like she stepped straight out of a bridal magazine. 
Her bridesmaid wore strapless fuchsia dresses. Tommy and his groomsmen wore simple white shirts and light khaki pants. Tommy wore a traditional wedding lei of maile-style ti leaf and white orchids. The group was whisked away in a stretched limo to Makapuu Beach for a private beach ceremony.
After a gorgeous beach wedding ceremony and a portrait session with the family, whole bridal party, we had a portrait session with just the bride and groom, just in time for the sun setting behind the mountains.
The bride and groom’s destination beach wedding ceremony was followed by a reception at the Top of Waikiki. 
This restaurant is located on the 18th floor of the Waikiki Business Plaza in Honolulu. The Top of Waikiki restaurant makes a full 360 degree rotation every hour with stunning eagle-eye views of Waikiki Beach and Honolulu.
We had such a great time with this wedding. Thanks and congratulations to Myla and Tommy and thank you for having L’Amour Photography as your Hawaii Wedding Photographer!

Weddings are a lot like snowflakes -they are beautiful and not a single wedding is exactly alike. The only part that is consistently the same is the moment just before knocking on the bridal suite door. It is always a great moment – you know you are about to open a door onto a room buzzing with excitement.
Lisa’s suite at the Halekulani Hotel in Waikiki was definitely a buzz when we arrived – Lisa was getting her hair and makeup done by Christine from Flaunt Make-Overs. Her bridesmaids were busy getting their finishing touches done, and her maid of honor was busy finishing up her speech on her laptop.
We have to give a special round of applause for Lisa’s Maid of honor – we have rarely seen a Maid of Honor so attentive to every possible need and want of a Bride.
We were very excited to see Keone & Kelii from Kai Media there and capturing every detail. Apparently Lisa had seen the amazing video that Kai Media had done for us and made the great decision to add Kai Media’s talent to the day.
One other thing that normally holds true on a wedding day is that the grooms suite is normally proportionally calm to the brides busy room. When we arrived at David’s room, all the gents were Suited up and ready to go.
David had given all his groomsmen flasks as a thank you present. To add a, well, brutal twist to a traditional present, David also gave each of his groomsmen a bottle of 190 proof Everclear. All I could say was, “Ouch.” I asked if they were going to have a shot before the wedding, they all looked at the flasks with a respectable fear and shook their heads in a resounding no – smart men.
Lisa & David decided to do a very sweet first meeting in a flower draped walkway at the Halekulani prior to the ceremony. They both looked so excited to see each other dressed for the big day.
After the first meeting, we shot some of the bridal party and a few portraits of Lisa and David.
The wedding ceremony took place on the Halekulani’s Hau Terrace. The floral boxes were a great addition to their wedding aisle.
We have to say that the Halekulani is not only a great wedding venue, but the staff working the reception were some of the most polite and professional staff we have ever seen. Incredibly kind and attentive, the catering manager himself made sure that our team of photographers all had drinks and were well taken care of. This may seem like a little thing, but, to people who have been running in the beautiful Hawaiian sun while wearing all black, a glass of water is worth more than its weight in gold.
One of the final things that is true of every wedding day is that they always fly by. An incredibly wise decision that Lisa & David made was to schedule a next day wedding portrait session. See more of Lisa & David’s beach wedding pictures here.
Lisa & David’s Hawaii wedding was a perfectly beautiful day. Congratulations on the start of your new lives together!!
