Our Favorite Wedding Venues Across All of Hawai‘i
As a husband-and-wife photo and video team based in Hawai‘i, we’ve had the honor of documenting weddings across every major island — and we never take for granted how lucky we are to call this place home. Hawai‘i is a dream destination for couples from all over the world, and each island offers something entirely unique. From luxury resorts to lush gardens and hidden coastal gems, here are some of our absolute favorite wedding venues across the islands.
Big Island
Mauna Lani, Auberge Resorts Collection
Elegant, soulful, and rich in Hawaiian heritage, Mauna Lani is one of the most photogenic venues we’ve ever worked at. The sunsets, ancient fishponds, and lava rock coastlines create a backdrop that’s both magical and timeless.
Fairmont Orchid
With oceanside ceremony sites framed by palm trees and a team that truly cares, Fairmont Orchid weddings are as seamless as they are beautiful. We’ve captured everything from intimate elopements to multi-day cultural celebrations here — and it always feels special.
Mauna Kea Beach Hotel
Classic, iconic, and effortlessly chic. This hotel’s timeless architecture and soft golden beach are a photographer’s dream. It’s perfect for couples wanting a sophisticated and serene setting.
Maui
Andaz Maui at Wailea
Modern luxury meets island charm. The design of this resort is sleek and stylish, but still feels warm and welcoming. Incredible food, oceanfront views, and top-tier service make it a favorite for both destination couples and planners.
Hotel Wailea
Exclusively adults-only and perched above the coast, Hotel Wailea is ideal for couples craving privacy and refined romance. The views are next-level, and it’s one of the most intimate luxury resorts on Maui.
Olowalu Plantation House
A historic estate right on the water, with some of the most epic sunset views you’ll find. The banyan trees, wide lawn, and vintage charm make it a go-to for stylish outdoor weddings.
O‘ahu
The Royal Hawaiian (The Pink Palace)
This iconic Waikīkī hotel offers a glamorous setting with old-world charm and oceanfront views. Its bold pink exterior makes every photo pop, while the service is second to none.
Lanikuhonua
A true hidden gem on the west side of O‘ahu, Lanikuhonua feels like untouched paradise. Think: sweeping lawns, private beach coves, and unforgettable sunsets. It’s a favorite for couples seeking a more natural and exclusive location.
Kaua‘i
Haiku Gardens
While technically on O‘ahu, this stunning venue offers a tropical garden oasis with views of the Koʻolau mountains and a hidden waterfall — making it feel like it belongs in Kaua‘i’s lush landscape.
Na ‘Āina Kai Botanical Gardens
On Kaua‘i’s North Shore, this venue is pure fairytale. With sculptures, tropical blooms, and oceanside cliffs, it’s one of the most artistic and visually rich places we’ve ever photographed.
Final Thoughts
Every island in Hawai‘i holds its own magic, and every venue tells a different story. Whether you’re dreaming of a barefoot ceremony on the sand or a multi-day celebration at a five-star resort, there’s a place here that will feel like it was made just for you.
If you’re still searching for the perfect setting, we’d love to help guide you. As creatives who have worked across the islands — with film, digital, and drone — we specialize in capturing weddings that are as meaningful as they are beautiful.
