Intimate wedding at Waialae Beach on Oahu

INTIMATE OAHU WEDDING

Congrats to Mika & Michael on their beautiful wedding day! Mika first reached out to me when her in Michael were in the beginning stages of planning their intimate Oahu wedding. She wasn’t sure exactly where they wanted to get married, but she had a vision for their photos. In our initial planning call, we discussed all the gorgeous options on this beautiful island, and they decided on Waialae Beach, right in Honolulu for their ceremony. The ceremony wedding ceremony was small and intimate, with only their parents in attendance. It’s such an honor to photograph weddings like these and they made me feel like a treasured guest. I could feel all the love and excitement and am so stoked for this amazing couple as they begin this new chapter of their lives as newlyweds!

After the ceremony, we headed to Lanai Lookout for dramatic couple’s photos! Lanai Lookout is a drastically different look from Waialae and provided a perfect mix of backdrops. We then headed back to Waialae where Mika surprised Michael by having a Chinese lion dance to honor her roots and to bless their marriage.

Mika had this to say on Google reviews:
“Laura is the BEST photographer! She’s extremely humble, kind, and knowledgeable. Laura’s not just a photographer but your go to girl for any suggestions and advice when finding things to do around the island, to perfect place to capture your envision for photos on your special day. I loved having her as my photographer for my “elopement”/small ceremony and she knew exactly how to capture the perfect moments. She stays on top of her communication and is very professional. She is very genuine and easy to talk to about anything and everything! The photos turned out immaculate! I also loved that she used film for some photos, which really adds a uniqueness and what attracted me to her work in the first place. Highly recommend!”
