A vow renewal ceremony isn’t less emotional than a wedding. On contrary, after spending 30 years together you have a long history behind you and a deeper understanding of the future. Also, you enjoy the present moment more. Add the amazing scenery offered by the Andaz Maui at Wailea Resort and you get an unforgettable experience.
It’s time for love. With St. Valentine’s Day around the corner, we spend more time thinking about love and romance. Not that we don’t appreciate our partner every day, but there’s something special about St. Valentine’s Day.
Life is a promise we make to ourselves. But when we find the courage to make a lifetime promise to someone else, the whole universe celebrates it. A wedding proposal in Maui is an open invitation for nature to take part in your celebration. And nothing is more romantic than this.
A proposal in Hawaii is special by default but adding a personal touch is always better. Some people choose to elope and get engaged in an intimate two-people-only event. Others choose to bring their best friend to witness the big moment. And some people want the whole family close by and ready to party. This story is about them.
After 30 years spent together, an anniversary isn’t something new anymore but is something very special. The 30th wedding anniversary is called the Pearl Anniversary and, as the pearl, is unique, intimate, and beautifully shaped in time.
A holiday in Hawaii is never just a holiday. It’s the beginning of a new way to see and understand nature and life and the beginning of a beautiful friendship with the islands and the ocean. It becomes a journey and when you share it with the one you love, your Hawaiian experience will never be forgotten. As a result, you return to Hawaii whenever you can. Just like Hessa and Faisal did.
The history of Kahala Hotel & Resort started in 1964. Throughout the years, the hotel hosted illustrious guests, from royalty to heads of state and movie stars. How does it manage to attract so many great people?
You can almost see it, the pristine beach, the warm sand between your toes, and the sunny blue skies as you hold your lover’s hand among the shoreline. Just the name Hawaii sounds romantic. For many, Hawaii is a dream destination and if you are lucky enough to pay Hawaii a visit, you are in for a real treat.
We recently had the pleasure of photographing Daniel and Courtney at the Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort and Spa. If you want to see Hawaii on a grand scale, stay at the Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort and Spa. Nothing can top this place for a romantic getaway. The tropical grounds smell of sweet scented plumeria and you can’t forget the stunning ocean views.
This very much in love couple opted for a sunset session to celebrate their seven-year anniversary. There is no doubt that Hawaii is for lovers. We have the joy of capturing lovers every day and we couldn’t be happier.

As you can see, Daniel and Courtney’s love radiates through the camera lens. After seven years of marriage, this young couple is still as giddy as when they met. What better way to spend sunset than strolling along Shipwrecks Beach, while capturing the moment?
Daniel and Courtney spent their days on Kauai exploring countless waterfalls, Waimea Canyon, and enjoying the natural paradise. Not to mention the scenic drives and glorious beaches. No wonder why Kauai screams romantic getaway! To end the night, the happy couple shared an intimate candlelight dinner at Tide Pools restaurant. What an amazing night in tropical paradise.

When you are a photographer, often times you find yourselves enveloped in intimate moments between couples. Photographing honeymooners, Bride & Groom, vow renewal ceremonies, or even just a couple vacationing, we are welcomed into a space, with oftentimes new friends, that gives you a close glimpse into that relationship.
We are so lucky to be able to experience that love and intimacy on a daily basis, because it helps keeps us grounded and thankful in our own lives.
I had the pleasure of photographing a couple last week at the Kahala Hotel & Resort in Oahu. Elaine told me that she didn't get pictures with her husband of over 20 years as often as she'd like and wanted to plan a fun beach photo session for the next afternoon.
After 24 years of marriage, Elaine and Eric were just as fun, playful, and starry eyed as when they were kids. In fact... they still looked like kids! Elaine showed me a picture from when they first got married, and it was eerily identical to some of the pictures we had been taking. The scariest part is, they hadn't aged a day!
I had to ask Elaine, how do they keep such a youthful playfulness with each other, which she confided in me all her secrets. But most importantly, they set aside time to do fun things with each other. Whether it be sparring in their martial arts class, a birthday trip every year for the two of them, or a sunset beach photoshoot in Hawaii, these two really know how to keep the love alive.

Is there anywhere more beautiful to celebrate life and love than here on Kauai?! From the moment you step of the plane in Lihue you will be hit by a wave of humidity. Get prepared to slow down, relax, and enjoy a well-deserved break from life. As the oldest of all the Hawaiian Islands, Kauai’s ancient lush beauty is hard to overlook.
Celebrating their first anniversary, Mr. and Mrs. Kelley knew they chose wisely by coming to Kauai, and staying at the Grand Hyatt. Enamored by the island, they spent their days here resting near the 5-acre pool, and also doing a fair share of exploring too.
With so much to offer, from the spa amenities to a salt-water lagoon you can actually kayak in, it’s easy to stay close to the resort; but, don’t miss out on what Kauai has to offer. Kauai is very unique compared to the rest of the Hawaiian island chain.
The Kelley’s discovered this and set out to explore the Waimea Canyon, which is known as the Grand Canyon of the Pacific. Imagine the Grand Canyon carpeted with a vibrant green jungle landscape, littered with trails and gorgeous scenic overlooks.
Head east and discover the largest navigable river in all of Hawaii, the Wailua River. Kayak or take a boat tour to top and find the river’s fresh water pouring down from Mt. Wai’ale’ale, one of the wettest spots on the planet. It lands at the Fern Grotto, and along the river at the sacred capital of ancient Kauai and the birthplace of the island’s Ali’i, or royalty.
Whether you are visiting Kauai for the first time or the tenth, there is always something to do or somewhere new to explore. The most difficult part of vacationing here with us at the Grand Hyatt, Kauai, is deciding what you want to do first.
