Hale Kao Weddings: Paradise in the Making
Everyone wants their wedding day to be a dream, but what if it could be more than that? What if your wedding day could be paradise? Surrounded by lush palm trees, Hale Koa provides an amazing, picturesque venue for your entire wedding from the rehearsal dinner, to getting ready, to saying ‘I do,’ then followed by a reception under strung lights, all in one location. Their attention to detail from the beautifully maintained gardens, right down to the table linens and centerpieces is just perfection.
For some, the idea of planning a destination wedding is daunting, overcome by details and unknown factors. At Hale Koa, their top-notch event staff provide a level of hospitality and a full-color experience your guests aren’t likely to forget. When your friends and family are treated to a luau featuring traditional Hawaiian music and hula dancing under a night sky that is lit up by fire dancers, you’ve traded ‘wedding reception’ for ‘a once in a lifetime experience.’
You can call it a Destination Wedding, however, at Hale Koa it’s less destination wedding and far more like a Luxury Vacation + Love. Sound corny? Maybe, but how else can one describe you and your guests enjoying ten luxurious bedrooms situated on one acre of paradise on a large estate on beautiful Fabled North Shore of O’ahu?
If waking up in nirvana isn’t enough to start your day, the location offers a 500-meter walking and jogging path, basketball and pickleball courts, a volleyball court and two heated Jacuzzi’s to relax in. There is also a fantastic pool and a world-class home theatre to host parties and entertain. For the wedding couple, there is a massive lava bathtub in the master suite. What a Hawaiian masterpiece!
My approach to wedding photography is part formal portrait creator and part documentarian. Traveling outside of our hometowns means endless opportunities to document your connection in a new, exciting, and organic surrounding. Inside the resort are heirloom Koa furnishings and architectural touches exclusive to O’ahu. This place is just stunning at every turn.
Outside, every angle, every view is saturated with blue skies, green palm trees, and rich, vibrant flowers. The creative possibilities are endless, and most importantly, to many couples: they are effortless. This venue means no need to spend hours of day-of preparations or decorating, leaving you free for holding each other while walking along paths under a tropical canopy. Is there a destination more perfect for your wedding? We’d love to travel with you there to find out!
Please reach out to me if you are having a wedding. I would love to document the moments.
Packages include travel to shoot at Hale Koa Phineas Estates.
