Trash the Dress: Lanikai Beach, Oahu

This lovely couple's wedding photography package included an engagement session, but due to scheduling conflicts and weather issues, the engagement session turned into a trash-the-dress at Lanikai Beach.

We will be posting special offers on the AinaKai facebook page starting in January 2010. Here's wishing all our blog readers Mele Kalikimaka (Merry Christmas) and a very happy New Year.

Ihilani Resort, Ko'olina: Couple Portraits

Wedding Proposal and Engagement Photos on Oahu, Hawaii

This couple came to Hawaii from the Bay Area to attend her brother's wedding in Ko'olina. They wanted some photos taken to remember their time on Oahu. Although, they had planned to get married next year, he hadn't yet formally proposed or given her an engagement ring. What better place to do that than in Hawaii?! Part way into the photo session, he surprised her by proposing! Check out the cute hula girl ring box!

By the Sea: Hawaii Lifestyle Photography

Newlyweds requested couple portraits (including a few photos with Jesse, their playful chocolate Lab) at their home on the North Shore of Oahu. They told us that they didn't have a proper wedding so they have no good wedding  photographs. The couple's parents were asking for photos so they decided to invest in our By the Sea lifestyle session. The weather was overcast when we started the photography but the clouds parted for a nice Hawaii sunset.
