Photography Style

My approach is a mix of:

• 70% documentary coverage - real moments, not forced, photographing whats happening

• 15% clean, natural portraits - simple and guided direction

• 15% editorial details - the stuff you’ll want to remember but won’t notice on the day

My goal is to deliver images that feel like your day did: sunny, real, elevated, and not overly staged.

Hyatt Regency Waikiki Wedding Photography Packages

These packages are built for couples who want the day covered fully, without trying to cram everything into a short window.

Full wedding day storytelling from prep to reception moments

3–4 hours of coverage

• Perfect for: ceremony, family photos, wedding party, and couple portraits

• Includes a full edited online gallery

Best for: smaller weddings or couples keeping the day streamlined.

Add-Ons (Optional)

• Second photographer (more angles, more guest coverage, smoother full-day storytelling)

• Engagement session in Waikiki / Honolulu (great way to get comfortable in front of the camera)

• Wedding videography (if you offer this, keep it here as an add-on)

• Extra coverage hours (easy upgrade if your timeline shifts)

Why Full-Day Coverage Works Better at Hyatt Regency Waikiki

Waikiki weddings move fast. The hotel is busy, elevators take time, family photos always take longer than people expect, and sunset comes whether we’re ready or not.

Full-day coverage gives you:

• breathing room for portraits (without rushing)

• time for a clean “just married” session

• full reception moments (toasts, dancing, guests actually living)

• less stress, better photos, and a better experience overall

If you want the photos to feel calm and elevated, time is the secret ingredient.

Best Photo Moments Near Hyatt Regency Waikiki

Depending on your timeline and what you want, we can build portraits around:

• Waikiki Beach (quick walk, iconic, especially near golden hour)

• Diamond Head viewpoints nearby (if timeline allows)

• Kapiolani Park area (more open space, less crowded depending on time)

• Hotel interiors / lobby moments (clean, modern, great for documentary coverage)

I’ll help you pick the best option based on your ceremony time, season, and crowd levels.

Sample Timeline for a Hyatt Regency Waikiki Wedding (Full-Day)

Here’s a realistic flow that keeps things smooth:

• Getting ready photos (details + prep)

• First look (optional but highly recommended)

• Wedding party + family photos (before ceremony if possible)

• Ceremony

• Quick family formals (if needed)

• Couple portraits (sunset timing if possible)

• Reception coverage (toasts + dancing + real moments)

If you don’t want a first look, we’ll adjust. If you do want a first look, it usually makes the entire day feel easier.
