The HNL Experience
We believe beautiful imagery should inspire precious memories – not replace them. So our goal is for you to remember exactly you how felt in the moment each memory and image was made. Here’s how we help you slow down, take it all in, and savor every detail.

Most Asked Questions & Answers
Our Process
Hawaii weddings can be complicated creatures, and we aim to keep things simple and give you the ability to have multiple wedding services with just 1 company. We’ll start by getting to know your story and then we’ll put our tried and true process in motion to tell it beautifully.
Plan
The first step is to sit down with us in-person or over video call (we love our destination wedding couples as well). We’ll have some coffee, hone-in on what is important to you, select your services/options and save your date.
Once you’ve reserved with us, we’ll provide you with client exclusive wedding guides to help make wedding planning a breeze. As your wedding day gets closer, we’ll work closely with you and your wedding coordinator to put together a picture perfect timeline and dial in every last detail so you can focus on other important things – like purr-fecting your cat-like dance moves at the reception!
Celebrate
You tie the knot. We make gorgeous photography, produce your all-time favorite wedding film, and help create the party of the century with our DJ/MC and Photobooth experience. Endless hugs and high-fives abound.
While you’re flying off to your honeymoon or heading home from Hawaii enjoying the #Marriedlife, our pro HNL editors get to work quickly on your wedding photography and film for you to enjoy.
Your only job on the wedding day is to stay present and celebrate your hearts out with the best people in the world.
Important Disclaimer: We are not responsible for warm fuzzies and the tears of joy resulting from HNL imagery.
Preserve
Within just days after your wedding, we’ll give you amazing highlights that will keep the celebration going.
Once your final wedding images and film are finished, we’ll schedule a private premiere for you both to experience them in style.
We will also begin to help you preserve your memories for generations to come through your HNL heirloom wedding album and fine-art luxury wall prints. Your memories should live daily printed in your home – not on a hard-drive collecting dust and forgotten.
Your HEIRLOOM wedding Album
Technology is fleeting and ever-changing. Your memories shouldn’t be.
You will adore your HNL Heirloom wedding album in these first precious years, but your album isn’t actually meant for today. Your album is meant for all of your tomorrows.
CLASSIC + TIMELESS
Our Heirloom Albums are bulletproof-strong, classic, and professionally curated just for you. Yours will be just as beautiful on your 20th anniversary as it is on your 1st.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
HOW CAN WE HELP?
Here are the most common questions asked by our couples. Contact us to request detailed pricing and availability
+ I don’t live on Oahu or in Hawaii, can we plan our wedding services over video call?
Of course! Not everyone can live in paradise but it doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy it along with us. We’ll set up a phone call or video chat to get to know each other and the entire reservation process can happen online from there.
+ I'm not getting married in Hawaii, will you travel to my wedding?
Yes, definitely! We’ve traveled all over Hawaii and worldwide for our couples. We know how to make it extremely easy and simple for you. We will make travel considerations inclusive in your collections and you won't have to worry about a thing once your date is reserved with us.
+ Is there a travel fee for Oahu?
We will travel anywhere on the island of Oahu and never charge a travel fee. We understand not every great venue on Oahu is located in the Honolulu area. Just like you, we enjoy all the beauty Oahu can offer. For outer island events (Maui, Big Island, Kauai etc), mainland and international destination weddings please contact us for simple flat travel rates. We would love to hear from you.
+ Can I get special pricing when reserving multiple services?
Absolutely! Our exclusive specials and pricing are for our HNL couples who want to have stress-free wedding experiences and reserving them together. Contact us so we can help you find out what services are important to you, see if we are a good fit and walk you through our special offerings in detail.
+ What do I need to reserve my wedding?
We will work with you to select the best services, experience, and options that is best for your unique wedding. To ensure our availability, an agreement will be signed and a single minimum retainer payment of $900 which will cover all services reserved. The remaining balance can be paid using auto-pay in increments anytime at least 45 days before your event. If your wedding is postponed to a later date, we can apply the payment to a new date at no additional cost depending on our availability.
+ Are you available for Sunday weddings?
We are currently accepting reservations only from Monday-Saturday to be able to give our HNL team members one day to rest and worship if they choose. Through a busy work week we see the importance of taking one day off to refresh and reconnect with friends, family, and those we love.
+ Our wedding venue requires proof of insurance, is your company insured?
Definitely! We have been just about everywhere in Hawaii, and with a $2M insurance policy we got you covered. Just let us know if you would like to request a copy.
+ I love your aerial drone videography and photography however my venue asks for an FAA pilot license, does your team have this?
Absolutely, we love being able to provide aerial photo/video for our HNL couples and we have gone through the painstaking process of being licensed and legal drone operators. Ask about these options when selecting your wedding collection with us.
You should be able to have your dream wedding
