I’ve always felt a special connection to Hawaii growing up in paradise. So many people dream of spending just a few days here and I’ve been fortunate to have spent my entire life here. It truly is such a beautiful place and not a day goes by that I don’t appreciate all it has to offer. I love getting to know each couple’s personalities and build new relationships. Most of all, I believe that life’s celebrations should be memorable and special in every way possible. I've been helping couples plan their dream weddings for over 17 years and love seeing how happy they are!

I have worked together with Lei on over 100 weddings, and I've witnessed her operating in all aspects of event planning and execution. She is one of the best to do it. Lei herself is always on top of things, but more than that she understands connection and vibe, in addition to timelines, budget, transportation needs, event locale, resources and recommendations, etc. She is a genuinely interested in every couples' happiness and satisfaction. I also performed at her own wedding, and she was just as meticulous with the details of her big day, down to the ceremony song choice and vows therein. She remains a powerful, experienced force in the Hawaii wedding industry, and any couple considering will be lucky to have her. Mahalo nui!

I’m Grace Troutman. I’m a wedding & elopement photographer who loves to frequent the West Coast, Hawaii, and the Midwest (where I grew up.) I approach working with my couples on their weddings from a place of trust and compassion, so I can document the day how it is true to them. No forced moments, no stiff posing, only true to life candid imagery. I’ve shot all over the world from Iceland, Ireland, & France to all over the Midwest, all the way to California and Hawaii, and I believe that you should say “I do,” in a place that makes you feel like home.

  • Photojournalistic style

I'm Jasmine, a wedding and elopement photographer based in Kailua, Hawaii, with over ten years of island living and a passport that stays busy. My style lives at the intersection of photojournalism and nature editorial. I shoot what is actually happening, the real tears, the stolen glances, the chaotic in-between moments, in places that make the photos extraordinary. I cover proposals, elopements, micro weddings, and full wedding days across Hawaii, US National Parks, and destinations worldwide including Europe, Canada, and Australia. I believe a wedding photo should transport you right back to that moment every single time you look at it.

Jasmine was an absolute pleasure to work with for our special day. From the moment we first reached out, she was prompt in her communication, clearly knowledgeable about her craft, and incredibly understanding of our needs and preferences. Her attention to detail and thoughtful approach shone through in the amazing final photos, which beautifully captured all the special moments of our day. Jasmine made us feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the process, and was incredibly accommodating to ensure we got all the shots we wanted. The whole experience was just wonderful, and the pictures turned out great - we will cherish them forever.

Because of Loulu Palm Farms, Nickie and Ashley I able to plan and my husband and I were able to host and give our daughter her dream wedding. The day was even more magical then any of us could have imagined! The day would not have been possible without the beauty of Loulu Palm Farms , Nickie and Ashley. Their patience and guidance were invaluable in planning every step of the way, all while I was here in Michigan and the bride in Australia. Both Nickie and Ashley bring a calming presence (which as the mother of the bride I always needed) making the planning and the day of the wedding perfect and fun! They were always quick to get back with me on every little question big or small or any changes. From the very moment we started working together both myself and my daughter felt they genuinely cared about making everything perfect! Ashley went above and beyond on several occasions. The day before the wedding she saved the groom because of some cufflinks missing! On the day of the wedding my daughters bustle did not hold up and she was right there with safety pins, calmly and expertly fixing it without missing a beat. As a matter of fact, I did not know until after the fact that this even happened. Throughout the entire wedding I was able to have an amazing time as well as my daughter because we knew Ashley had everything handled! More guests than I can count kept coming up to my husband and I and the bride and groom telling us again and again that it was the most beautiful and fun wedding they had ever attended! Do not hesitate for a moment if you want the most beautiful venue and the best wedding planner book Loulu Farms with Nickie and the best coordinator ever, Ashley!

Oliver Sangalang Photography specializes in weddings and portraits that feel genuine, timeless, and full of heart. With a relaxed and thoughtful approach, I focus on capturing real moments—from emotional vows and joyful celebrations to quiet, in-between glances you didn’t even realize were happening. The goal is to create images that tell your story naturally, allowing you to relive the feeling of your day for years to come.

We couldn't have asked for a better photographer!!!!! Ollie was so easy to work with and is truly an artist and master at his craft. He is excellent at coming up with not only posing ideas, but is also very artistic in taking photos of details, family and friends, and really excels in candid photos. He is able to capture the moment without it looking forced or fake, and somehow beautifully curates a wonderful variety of photos (various angles, wide, close, candid, posed). When it comes to posing, he has so many great pose ideas and is able to help you get into the pose without it feeling awkward or overly posed (to the point of superficiality). His photos also have personality and exude emotion, which is what makes his work definitely stand out from other photographers. We love his photos so much that we even got them printed in a photobook. He was a joy to work with. Very easygoing, and willing to work with you and your vision for the day. We cannot recommend him enough!!!

I got involved with the University radio station (90.1 FM), started doing live events, and really loved showing off my rare music finds. Nothing beats the feeling of rocking a live crowd for track after track, especially after the long pause in events! DJing is all I do for "work", and I love it! Each wedding or event I play is full of different people and different ages from all over the world, and they all have differing tastes in music- blending so many different genres and styles of music is such a fun challenge!

DJ Roman Candles was excellent! He pulled off a set that was beyond our wildest dreams. We had a brief phone meeting a week before the wedding about how we wanted the vibe to be and he pulled it off perfectly. Us and our guests were blown away by his performance. After the wedding, all of our guests were raving how awesome he was! He blended all of our requested genres. The transitions between genres and between songs were spot on! He had all of our guests up and dancing. Our wedding coordinator said he was very easy to work and communicate with. He was very organized and had all the equipment we needed. He also took care of the emcee duties and did an awesome job! He had an app we could use to upload all of our song requests. We found it very useful for organizing the songs we wanted played at each part of the night. He totally killed it and we could not imagine anyone doing better. 10/10. We can’t stop watching videos of how fun the night went! Totally recommend DJ Roman Candles for your wedding or any other events!!!

I Do Hawaiian Weddings & Gay Marriage In Paradise went above and beyond to make our wedding day everything we dreamed of and more. Especially since it was a sunrise wedding!

My name is Mari, and I'm so thankful for many aspects of my life, including traveling the world. Photography and traveling are the two pillars that allow me to express my creativity. My couples enjoy curated experiences and thrive on exploring exotic landscapes to create memorable organic moments. I enjoy a multi-layered approach that infuses editorial touches and fine-art styles while still highlighting the candid, authentic moments of your celebration. My pursuit of impeccable details pushes me to continually evolve my vision while reminding me of the importance of carrying my camera with humor, compassion, and curiosity.

We were left in TEARS! Each photograph captured the essence of our day in such a beautiful & authentic way. It was like reliving every moment, every emotion, all over again. Book her now, if looking since she only takes a handful of weddings each year.

Sugako was INCREDIBLE to work with. I was a destination bride and my entire wedding was traveling from the mainland. I booked the venue and all of the vendors sight unseen so there was a lot of anxiety going into how it would all pan out. When I arrived, oh my goodness. Words cannot describe how on top of things Sugako was. I texted her multiple times, at any time of the day, leading up to the wedding and she was prompt and had the answers to everything. The vision came to life more than I could’ve imagined. Destination brides- this is your girl. You will not have to worry about a single thing. Sugako we loved you!!! Cannot rave about her services enough as a wedding coordinator.
