This Oahu wedding reception was adorned with coral and teal paper lanterns and strings of lights.  Reception tables featured a real pineapple as the centerpiece, white gold plates as table numbers, as  well as mason gars with shells and tea lights on burlap table runners.  The bride and groom’s chairs had personalized wood signs hanging with “Mr” and “Mrs” written on them. Guests were greeted with seating cards of teal and coral wave shaped tags tied onto starfish.

The newlyweds cut their single level square cake with the cutest cake set ever.  The silver cake cutting set was stamped with their names and “Together Forever” and two forks were stamped with “I Do” and “Me Too.”  All of these cute wedding decor details created a fun atmosphere that carried from the ceremony through the reception.  This fun loving bunch danced the night away under the colorful paper lanterns and strings of lights and ended the night with a kiss and a dip!

Kualoa Ranch – A Beautiful Hawaii Wedding Venue

We are incredibly lucky to have an seemingly endless supply of movie-like wedding venues here on Oahu. Kulaloa ranch happens to be more than movie-like – many movies and TV shows have actually been filmed here, and for good reason! The place is beautiful.


Chelsea and Josh took full advantage of the beautiful views from Kualoa Ranch and gave all of their wedding guests a beautiful view for the backdrop of their wedding ceremony. L’ Amour team had an amazing time doing both photography and videography for their big day. Truly an amazing couple!

Hawaii Wedding Photographers – L’Amour’s Daily Shot of Love – Hawaiian Fairytale

 

When we think of a fairy tale wedding in Hawaii, this image definitely comes to mind.  Our recent bride wore a gorgeous wedding dress with a full flowy ballgown type skirt.  We chose this location with lush greenery and a thick bamboo forest for the newly married couple’s Day After Session aka Trash the Dress Session. But, don’t worry, that’s just a name, that dress was not damaged! We really are loving the lighting of this photo. The bride seems to be glowing among the darkness of the bamboo.  The bride’s floral headpiece also really adds to the ethereal and fairy tale feeling of this photo.   Hawaii Destination Wedding on Oahu with photo by L'Amour Photography and Video.

The bridesmaids wore a light green knee length dress accented with a coral colored sash giving their look a classy yet tropical twist.  The flower girls walked down the aisle holding poms of green orchids on a white satin string.  This Hawaii wedding ceremony took place under the large trees on the edge of the beach fronting the St Regis.  Lei of tropical flowers and crystal strands hung from the tree branches as the happy bride and groom exchanged vows beneath at the Kamani Cove.

St Regis Princeville Wedding in Kauai by Oahu Wedding Photographers 2

Right after the beachfront wedding ceremony, we went around the gorgeous grounds of the St Regis to photograph the bride and grooms wedding portraits.  We were struck by the many stunning locations and really loved the sparkling glass bulb chandelier of the lobby as well as the graphic decor in the front of the main entrance to this amazing resort.

This Hawaii wedding reception was held in the  St Regis Bay Terrace overlooking the sun setting over Hanalei Bay. This Hawaii wedding venue features a relaxing lounge area with an attached ballroom giving this venue indoor and outdoor versatility. The wedding reception carried the same classic beach theme with warm gold up-lighting  sand filled centerpieces with large shells holding the tropical green and white flowers.

This beautiful bride changed into a knee length sparkling gold dress for her wedding reception. This dress was prefect for busting a move for their choreographed first dance.  Not only was this bride and groom super sweet, but they also knew how to have a good time and let loose!  Any bride who breaks out into doing the robot during her own wedding is a bride after my own heart!

Here we are with the gorgeous couple! We are extremely lucky and blessed to have such amazing people as our clients.  After 5 years in business, based on Oahu, we continue to be amazed at how we always get to photograph such wonderful couples. Thanks for being AMAZING, everyone!  Ps:  As a side note, you might notice that we have changed our watermarking of photos recently. Don’t worry! We only are putting these watermarks on our blog posts. Our clients receive their printable, full size photos, free from any watermarks on their CD and with a much much less obtrusive watermark on their smaller, web-sized set of photos.  Finally, we wanted to mention that Wendy (shown above with Eric) is only able to photograph weddings every once in a while when her carpal tunnel problems allow, and this was one of those rare occasions!  She spends most of her days editing all of the Hawaii wedding photos and working on the flush-mount wedding album designs!  Our absolutely talented L’amour team members photograph and film all of the rest of the weddings, day in and day out, through the years.

With Mother’s day just around the corner, we wanted to say a big Happy Mother’s Day from all of us on the L’amour Photography & Video team. From our family to yours, have a wonderful day and remember to let your mothers know that they rock!

First dance at Hawaii wedding between mother and son This mother and son dance photo was taken at a gorgeous wedding we photographed on Maui.  We absolutely loved how fun this mother was and how she was seriously rocking out.  This groom and his mother should definitely win some kind of award for best mother-son dance song selection with their choice of Guns & Roses “Sweet Child of Mine.”  We hope you all have a great Mother’s Day!

Hawaii Wedding Photographer – JW Marriot Ihilani – Bouquet toss

Check out this bouquet toss at a recent destination wedding on Oahu.  This striking wedding reception was held at the JW Marriot Ihilani in Ko’olina on Oahu.   Hawaii Wedding Reception Ihilani on Oahu Wedding bouquet tosses can be one of the most exciting parts of the wedding reception. You know how competitive girls can be!  At my own wedding there was a tiny bit of blood shed between two friends trying to snatch the bouquet out of the air.  One could definitely describe some bouquet tosses as a full contact sport!  This one, however, was impressive because of the height this Hawaii wedding guest gained in her successful attempt to catch the bouquet.  This girl has skills!

 

 

L’amour’s Daily Shot of Love – Sweet Music – Hawaii Wedding Photography

Hawaii Wedding photo of bride and groom with banyon tree and piano As Hawaii wedding photographers, we love to capture the undeniable beauty of the islands.  Crystal clear blue water, sugary sandy beaches, deep blue skies, swaying palms. These all make for a gorgeous backdrop for a wedding in Hawaii.  While we usually find ourselves among all of the tropical beauty of Hawaii, we sometimes get a chance to change it up a bit and seek out more of an urban or modern setting for portraits.  Our team stumbled upon these building ruins that happened to have a gorgeous antique style red piano inside. We were instantly inspired! Our team of photographers were drawn to the contrast between the graffiti and classic piano, as well as the banyan roots creeping in through the windows.   Here is one of our favorite wedding photos from this Oahu wedding.
