Kristi and Dennis | Waikiki Chapel Destination Wedding
Kristi came across St. Augustine By The Sea while on vacation with her family in Waikiki and instantly fell in love with the church.

St. Augustine By The Sea is a gorgeous church with a stunning stained-glass wall that catches the mid-day sun perfectly.
Whenever I’m on vacation, waking up before the sunrises doesn’t usually cross my mind. However the sunrises here in Hawaii can be as equally spectacular as the sunsets, so the Lee Family decided to wake up early to capture their family vacation photos on the beach.
We had a lot of fun during the Pierce Family’s mini photo session with matching aloha print for the two younger children and a couple of shell lei. Waikiki Beach can be a little crowded, especially on a beautiful spring afternoon like this. But we managed to carve out a small little piece of the beach for their vacation photos.
Sayge and Kaimanahila | Wedding and Holoholo Through Tantalus
Sayge and Kai decided to have their wedding vows at Central Union Church, an iconic church in Honolulu with grand Colonial-revival sanctuary and high-reaching steeple. But for an added casual touch, the two held their ceremony just outside of the Atherton Chapel in the lawn under the grand Monkeypod Tree. The lawn was the perfect place for an afternoon wedding ceremony, with the cool Mānoa tradewinds blowing in the shade of the tree.
Sequeira | Stunning Engagement Photos During Sunset
We started out the evening with some family photos on the beach. The typical “we are on a vacation in Hawaiʻi” photos. And while we were all set up for photos, we decided for a quick wardrobe change and switched into engagement photo gear. I think the timing of the evening was perfect as the setting sun gave us some great colors and light to work with.
Eunice decided to surprise her in-laws with a great Christmas present on their first vacation to Hawaiʻi. Sunrise in Waikīkī was an obvious choice, and we were able to split our time between the beach and Kapiʻolani Park.
Gosh, this family was so much fun! Abbie, Etta, and Kaia were all so much fun. And why wouldn’t a family from Ontario, Canada have fun in the warm sun and sandy beaches?
