Hawaii Wedding Photographer & Film

Weddings on the island we call home.

We fell in love with Hawaii years ago — and now we live here. Blue Haven Hawaii is a Big Island–based photography and film studio documenting weddings from the Kohala Coast to Kona, with no travel fees anywhere on island.

Our Story

Not flown in. Not shipped over. Local.

Most destination photographers see Hawaii through a rental car window. We see it every day — grocery shopping in Kona, watching winter swells on the Kohala Coast, learning which beaches glow at sunset and which ones empty out by four o'clock.

Blue Haven Hawaii is based right here on the Big Island. That means your photo team knows the light at Mauna Lani in October, the wind patterns at Hualālai, and the back roads when Queen Kaʻahumanu Highway backs up — and when your timeline shifts, we're minutes away, not an ocean away.

Wedding Films

Cinema, not coverage.

Every film is scored, color-graded, and cut to feel the way the day felt.

Where We Shoot

The Big Island, venue by venue.

We photograph across the whole island, but these are the places we know like our own backyard.

How It Works

Your only job is to stay present.

01

Inquire

Tell us your date and venue. We reply personally within 24 hours with availability — we're on island time, but not for email.

02

Plan together

We build your timeline around real sunset times, scout locations, and coordinate directly with your planner.

03

Celebrate

On the day, we're everywhere and invisible. You stay in the moment — we'll catch it.

04

Relive it

Sneak peeks the next day while your guests are still on island. Full gallery and film on a date we commit to in writing.

Blue Haven Tapes

A destination wedding isn't one day — it's a week. Welcome dinner, snorkel morning, rehearsal toasts, the quiet hour before the ceremony. Blue Haven Tapes puts cameras in your guests' hands throughout the week, and we edit their candid footage into a keepsake film no hired videographer could ever capture.

Very few Hawaii studios offer anything like it. It's the difference between remembering your wedding day and remembering your wedding week.

Kind Words

"They knew the island better than our planner did — every photo location, every backup plan for wind. It felt like getting married with friends who happened to be brilliant photographers."

A photo team that's already on island.

We live and work on the Big Island, and we'd love to be one of your preferred photo and film teams. Predictable pricing, planner-first communication, galleries delivered on your timeline — and a team you can call for a walkthrough tomorrow, not next quarter.
