The Hawaii Wedding of Paul and Tammy
The Hawaii Wedding of Paul and Tammy
I don't really do many local weddings. Part of it is by choice, part of it is because I just don't market to them. Locals tend to marry big, while destination brides, marry small. So, if I'm being blunt here, I like to do the smaller weddings because they are a lot easier, and the profit margins are basically the same when compared to larger weddings.
Now Paul and Tammy are not my typical couple. For starters, they were born and raised in Waianae and moved to the mainland. They made the trip back to Waianae to get married, and that's where they contacted me.

And you may kiss your bride
Paul and Tammy's wedding took place on the very west shores of Oahu at Maile Beach Park. It is one of the few parks in Waianae that I actually feel safe marrying couples on, since the others are crowded with the homeless. I actually don't recommend any of the Waianae Beaches to get married, including Maile, unless you are renting a condo on that side of the island. The drive is extremely far, and there are beaches that are equivalent in beauty, closer to town.
the traditional after kiss hug
Paul and Tammy knew each other for as long as they could remember. They grew up together, laughed together, and probably threw rocks at each other as kids.

The entire family
Not many couples can pull off the serious wedding shot, but they could
The waves that day were huge. We timed this shot between sets.
Look whose smiling
I really like this shot
My last notes for Paul and Tammy.... When I shot their wedding, I remembered one thing. Paul and Tammy had been together for some time now. They grew up together, lived together, even had a child together before tying the knot. But on the day of their wedding, as they looked at each other during the vows, it looked as though they fell in love all over again for the first time. They smiled at each other as though it was the first time, kissed as though it was the first time, laughed together as though it was the first time. It was rather evident that the fire between the two had never extinguished.
Pretty cool if you ask me.
