From Hawaii Island
The Big Island is geology on display — black-sand beaches, lava flows, volcanic craters, and 11 of the world’s 13 climate zones on one island. Hawaii weddings here look like nowhere else.
Check Hawaii AvailabilityThe Big Island is twice the size of all the other Hawaiian Islands combined, and feels like a continent. The Kohala Coast is resort country with white-sand beaches. Punalu‘u is one of the few black-sand beaches in the world. Mauna Kea’s summit is the highest point in the Pacific. Volcanoes National Park is the only place in the US where you can photograph an active eruption.
For couples who want a wedding photographed against a landscape no one else has, the Big Island is the move. Below is our Hawaii Island work and the planning notes we share with couples drawn to this island.
Kona (west side) is dry and sunny, resort country. Hilo (east side) is lush, rainier, and feels off-the-beaten-path. Most weddings happen Kona-side.
Punalu‘u is the famous one, with sea turtles regularly on the sand. Permit required for ceremonies. We help arrange.
Kilauea, Mauna Kea, and the lava fields offer photography backgrounds you can’t find anywhere else in the US. Plan an extra hour for travel time.
The Big Island is the size of Connecticut. Driving from Kona to Hilo is 2.5 hours. We plan portrait sessions and travel realistically.
No coordinating two vendors who’ve never worked together. Your photographer and filmmaker are on the same team and plan the day as one.

Yes. Punalu‘u is the most popular. Wai‘ula‘ula on the Kohala side is quieter. Both require a state permit and respect for the resident sea turtles.
Yes — Volcanoes National Park allows wedding photography with a Special Use Permit. The Halema‘uma‘u crater overlook is otherworldly at sunset.
