"Discover Stylish Photo Spots and Shooting Ideas in Hawaii: Insights from Local Photographers!"
2017.06.12 published
I Really Don't Want to Tell You! Local Pro Photographers Reveal the Best Spots in Hawaii!
Hello, this is the MISS Wedding editorial team. Hawaii is popular as a destination for weddings and honeymoons.
In response to brides saying, "I want to take photos in a place like this," local photographers in Hawaii introduce recommended shooting spots! With extensive experience photographing many brides, they share special places and tips on shooting methods, so be sure to take note!

【Q1】What spots can capture beautiful sunsets?
【A1】The breakwater at Magic Island provides a fantastical backdrop for your shots!
The colors of the sunset and the silhouette-like palm trees create an indescribable beauty. "Magic Island allows for photos both on the beach and the breakwater side, and the sunsets sinking into the sea during fall to winter are truly breathtaking.
The best time is 30 minutes before and after sunset. If you wait a little after the sun goes down, the colors become even more magical, and you’ll experience a wonderful moment known as the 'magic hour.'"
【Q2】What spots can you enjoy the great nature of Hawaii?
【A2】I recommend Kapiolani Park, where you can capture a variety of shots!
"With Diamond Head nearby, it's a place where you can take a range of photos. It's relatively uncrowded, so you can comfortably take wedding photos. Definitely try to visit in the morning to just after noon!"
【Q3】Where else can you take photos besides nature?
【A3】Hawaii has many picturesque shops!
"In Hawaii, everything is a photo spot. Cafe walls and signboards are also photogenic." The health-conscious bakery “Wai'alae Bakery” is popular with locals as well. The sandwich you take a big bite of could also make a charming photo prop. The shop sign is adorable too!
【Q4】Where can I take wonderful beach photos?
【A4】Without a doubt, the longest beach on Oahu, “Waimanalo Beach”!
"Voted the No. 1 beach in America in 2015, 'Waimanalo Bay Beach Park' is a hidden gem where locals spend a relaxing weekend. With its endless stretch of white sand and blue sea, it’s just beautiful! It's best to shoot before noon."
【Q5】I want to take photos in a chapel that feels like Hawaii…
【A5】Calvary By The Sea Church, loved by locals, is the best option!
Located by the beach in the upscale neighborhood of Aina Haina on Oahu, the church is a historic place open to the community, not just for weddings. "It's a chapel where you can have your ceremony while overlooking the sea. The building, which has a shell motif, is impressive and cherished by the locals. I think it's better to shoot in the morning light."
【Q6】What shooting methods can create impactful photos?
【A6】Shooting silhouette photos against the backlight has a great impact!
Photos that show silhouettes are artistic like shadow play!
"The background can be a blue sky or a sunset. You can try various ideas like intertwining shadows of the trees, or close-up shots of just hands." Also, "it's okay if it's rainy on the shoot day. The rainy evenings allow for effective use of flash to capture dreamlike photos, which are precious!"
【Q7】Is there anything we should bring for the shoot?
【A7】Having photo props can really enhance the atmosphere!
"Just placing a trunk slightly to the side can make the photo feel more like a story."
Holding a flag with a message together or having little props can greatly contribute to the atmosphere of the wedding photos. It's great to bring something from Japan, or if you have time, enjoy finding something locally!
【Q8】I want photos that are different from others!
【A8】I recommend a helicopter trip to explore!
"The 'Short Trip Photo Tour' allows couples having a wedding at the Four Seasons Hotel's Ko Olina Royal Chapel to charter a helicopter to the beach, and it’s a continuous surprise. Why not create once-in-a-lifetime memories while enjoying the trip?"
