This picture was taken on the west shore of Oahu at Ko Olina. Sunsets are pretty awesome here.
OAHU WEDDING PACKAGES
Oahu is the best island to tie the knot if you want to get married on the beach. Oahu has the most white sand beaches out of all the islands (that’s because we’re eroding away in the middle of the ocean). And because we have so many beaches on Oahu, it is relatively easy to find a secluded one. The other islands, you’ll find a few beaches, they’re not that white, and they’re not secluded at all.
MY OAHU WEDDING PACKAGES
I have two main packages that I created for your Oahu wedding: the patriot package, and the eloping package. These packages are very basic and include the simplest of elements needed to get hitched in Hawaii. Many couples choose one of these packages, then add other services such as video, flowers, etc..etc.. to fit their needs.
Can’t get this shot in many places. Lost was filmed here, by the way.
THE PATRIOT PACKAGE
I originally created this package exclusively for military couples who wanted to tie the knot quickly before getting deployed overseas. That exclusivity quickly vanished after September 11th because I thought, “Well, everyone is a patriot, right?”
So, from then on, the Patriot Package became available to everyone.
- MINISTER – ordained and licensed in the State of Hawaii
- PHOTOGRAPHY 1-HOUR COVERAGE – will cover the ceremony pictures and posed pictures after the ceremony. The one-hour coverage is good for either blue sky pictures OR sunset, but not both.
- 75 DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHS – High resolution, printable up to 20×30, exposure and color corrected/enhanced.
- WEDDING PLANNING/DAY-OF COORDINATION – You’ll know what to do before your wedding, and on the day of your wedding. I’ll be with you every step!
$777.50
EXTRA OPTIONS YOU MAY WANT TO CONSIDER:
- HAWAIIAN CEREMONY ($50)
- a ceremony revolving around the word aloha
- a flower lei exchange (does not include the price of leis)
- He’alo He’alo, this is where our couples share their first breath as husband and wife during a chant
- Hawaiian blessing of Mahalo
- These additions add around 5 to 8 minutes more to the length of the ceremony
- MINISTER HAWAIIAN MUSIC PERFORMANCE ($150)
- Our minister just happens to be a professional musician/singer as well! Here’s an inexpensive way to add music to your small wedding
- Music will be played and sung by our minister during the processional, recessional. And if you want, a first dance song (usually on the beach)
- This is great for small weddings, but not good for formal or gala-style weddings.
There is a beach right below this rock, by the way. I thought it just looked better 8 feet above
THE ELOPING PACKAGE
The Eloping Package is for the couple who is picture hungry, and is looking for extended photography coverage to possibly cover family pictures, more candid shots (if possible), and blue sky/sunset shots. Did I mention that I’m also a professional photographer, aside from being a wedding planner? 99% of the photos you see here, are mine. There’s a handful of generic stock photos of angry brides that I use, because I can’t get any of my real brides to chase my grooms with a bat.
The only difference between this package and the patriot package is that there’s more photography coverage here. More photography coverage means a lot more picture opportunities.
- MINISTER – ordained and licensed in the State of Hawaii
- PHOTOGRAPHY 1 and 1/2 HOURS OF COVERAGE – This will cover the ceremony, family pictures, blue sky AND sunset photography.
- 100 DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHS – High-resolution, printable up to 20×30, exposure and color corrected/enhanced.
- WEDDING PLANNING/DAY-OF COORDINATION – You’ll know what to do before your wedding, and on the day of your wedding. I’ll be with you every step!

VIDEO COVERAGE OPTION
You can add a video to any wedding package seen here on my website, or secure it as a stand-alone service. A serious consideration should be given to video if you are having a reception back at home, or if you have loved ones who couldn’t make it to your wedding. There are two options for video coverage:
- ONE CAMERA CEREMONY VIDEO COVERAGE – One camera HD coverage of the ceremony of your Oahu wedding. Includes wireless microphones, Color correction is not included with this option. For an example of this video, please click here. The video is archived and streamed on Vimeo.com forever. The video stream can be password protected upon request.
$200.00
- VIDEO EDIT UPGRADE – This is an upgrade to the one-camera video coverage, so you get everything in the original camera package, and 2 HD cameras to record your wedding ceremony, giving you a total of 3 camera angles. In order to utilize this package, the original “one-camera video coverage” option must be purchased. All footage is edited, color corrected, to give you a “television-like” documentation feel to your wedding. In addition, two 15 to 20-picture animated slideshows are added to the beginning and end of the ceremony footage. And if you’re curious, you do get to choose the music for the slideshow. Most couples that are celebrating a reception back at home, usually purchase this option. The video on this page is an example of what the video edit upgrade would look like.

NO DVD’S ARE INCLUDED IN ANY PACKAGE
PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU DO WANT DVD’s, WE CAN FIGURE SOMETHING OUT
Streaming is the present and future of video distribution
Bored with me yet?
CUSTOMIZE IT!
Can’t find what you’re looking for in my packages? Not a problem.
Every wedding is different, so every couple’s needs are different. Maybe you don’t need my minister’s services as your brother will be conducting your wedding in Oahu. Maybe you need a minister and nothing more! Or maybe you are on a shoestring budget and need something cheap and fast. Whatever the reason, let me know, and hopefully, I can customize a package to fit your liking.
