Sheraton Kona Resort (OUTRIGGER) Wedding Photography & Video | Golden Hour in Kailua Kona, Hawaii

Throwback to a truly beautiful wedding we had the pleasure of capturing at the then-Sheraton Kona Resort & Spa at Keauhou Bay – now known as the stunning OUTRIGGER Kona Resort & Spa. While the specific details of the date and the lovely couple have become a cherished memory, the magic of their day, bathed in the iconic Kona sunshine, remains as vibrant as ever in our photographs and wedding video. This wasn't just a Kailua Kona wedding; it was a celebration that unfolded from a bright afternoon to a starlit night.


Bayside Bliss: Saying "I Do" at the Wedding Chapel

The heart of this special day was the resort's beautiful bayside wedding chapel. Nestled perfectly to offer breathtaking panoramic views of Keauhou Bay and the sparkling Pacific Ocean, it provided an idyllic setting for their vows. The afternoon light streamed through the chapel windows as they exchanged their promises, creating a warm and intimate atmosphere. As their chosen Kailua Kona wedding photographer and videographer, we focused on capturing the genuine emotions, the joyful smiles, and the heartfelt exchanges that marked their ceremony in this picturesque Hawaii wedding chapel. The location truly offered the best of both worlds: the elegance of a dedicated venue with the stunning natural beauty of the Kona Coast just beyond its doors.


From Golden Hour Portraits to Sunset Romance

Following their heartfelt ceremony, the magic continued as we transitioned into the coveted Kailua Kona sunset. The resort's grounds offer countless stunning backdrops, and we took full advantage, capturing romantic portraits of the newlyweds bathed in the golden light. These moments, filled with laughter and tender embraces, perfectly showcase the unique beauty of a Hawaii sunset wedding. As their dedicated beach wedding photographer in Kailua Kona (even though the ceremony was in the chapel, the proximity to the ocean was a key element of their day), we understood the importance of harnessing this incredible natural light to create timeless images for their wedding album. Our Hawaii wedding videography team was also there, capturing the subtle nuances of these moments, the gentle breeze, and the changing colors of the sky.


A Night to Remember: Reception Under the Stars

As twilight deepened, the celebration moved into a beautifully arranged reception area at the Sheraton (now OUTRIGGER). The air was filled with music, laughter, and the joyous energy of their loved ones. From heartfelt toasts to the first dance under the emerging stars, we were there to document every special moment of their Kona wedding reception. Our goal was to not only capture the key events but also the candid moments of connection and celebration that truly tell the story of their wedding night. Providing comprehensive wedding photographer and videographer services in Kailua Kona meant we were there through every step of their incredible day, ensuring no memory was missed.
