Professional wedding photography at Magic Island in Honolulu is a must to capture the incredible beauty Magic Island offers. Located very close to Waikiki and right next to Ala Moana Beach on the island of Oahu. Magic Island offers unobstructed views of Diamond Head, small boat harbor, Waikiki, Ala Moana, and Kaka’ako skylines, calm water lagoon with turquoise water, amazing views of sunsets, a huge green park with large trees, fireworks on Fridays, and unobstructed beach views of sunsets into the ocean.

No wonder, Magic Island is one of the most popular destinations for outdoor Weddings in Hawaii. Most of these weddings are small destination weddings and some are medium to large weddings. Medium to large size wedding require a well planned set up, so the wedding guests could comfortably sit and the wedding couple could be nicely framed inside of a beautiful beach style wedding canopy.

This medium-sized Wedding was carefully planned towards later in the afternoon, so that the ceremony finishes just in time for sunset and that it’s not so early in the afternoon that it’s too hot for most people. This Magic Island Wedding photoshoot was about 2.5 hours total. So we were able to capture the bride’s arrival, take lots of pre-wedding photos of the couple, their friends and family, details of decorations, the Wedding ceremony, after-the-wedding group shots, candid photos, the newlyweds at sunset AND evening style photos too!

It was lots of fun and the lucky couple ended up with a super nice variety of awesome wedding photos shot by Pasha of Best Hawaii Photos.

After taking awesome Maternity photos at 29 weeks term we decided to get away from Honolulu New Year’s noise, fireworks, and smoke and drove all the way to the North Shore of Oahu! We ended up in Laie, where it was peaceful and beautiful, and so worth the 1 hour drive. It was a gorgeous New Year’s morning.

We took some shots at the incredible Laie point, stopped by for a nice breakfast at Turtle Bay Resort and took more Maternity photos at the famous Turtle Bay. Then we decided to switch up the beach scene, so we drove to the lush greenery of Waiamea Valley and really soaked in all the fresh air of the ancient valley, where Hawaiians lived in harmony with Nature.
