Angela and Scott Married at the Four Seasons Hualalai! (Kona, Big Island)




For those who have never been to the Four Season's Hualali in Kona, this 5 star luxury hotel is situated in a very interesting location in Hawaii....the property is pretty much surrounded by black, lava rock. Out from the rubble like rock formations emerges lush green vegetation, palm trees and sweeping lawns. A great setting for Angela and Scott's destination wedding.
Congratulations Angela and Scott!

Lesley and Jonathan Wedding Highlights (Halekulani, Waikiki)


Lesley is a twin sister....which tugs on my heart strings because I have two twin daughters myself. ; ) Lesley described having a twin was like being born with your best friend. Lesley's sister admitted during her maid of honor speech that she was a little J in having to share Lesley with someone else (Jonathan, lol) but was so happy to have him as her brother -in -law. Beautiful wedding at the Hau Terrace, Halekulani Hotel in Waikiki. Congratulations Lesley and Jonathan!

Luz-Ann and Chris Married!


We met Luz-Ann and Chris at Maui Expo at the first time back in early 2012. It was great to fly over to Maui, and shoot across the island all day - started from the getting ready in Wailua, to the ceremony at the Kamehameha Gold Club, and finally ending with the reception at Maui Beach Hotel. Their bridal party was full of energy throughout the day, and they shared a lot of laughs, especially at the reception! The couple had this newly-wed quiz game which the wives and husbands had to match their answers for personal questions - all of the contestants and the guests learned a lot about the newly-wed's personalities and memorable stories :-)

Congratulations Luz-Ann and Chris!

Maria and Brandon Married!

To start things off, Brandon and Maria booked the Ihilani Resort for their wedding for mainly one reason: the sunset. Here in Hawaii, we are blessed with nice sunsets, but they are often hit or miss, depending on the weather. It's because of this that we were extremely stoked that after the ceremony, the couple was treated to easily the best sunset anyone of us has ever seen at the Ihilani!

The little details throughout the day added lots of depth to the wedding. Brandon wore a Bazinga shirt, as a homage to one of Maria's favorite phrases. The couple chose their wedding date (July 6th) to coincide with Brandon's parents' anniversary, who they surprised at the reception with a chance to dance together on the dance floor. Pictures of Maria and Brandon's grandparents who passed away allowed for them to be present in spirit.

Brandon and Maria's crazy awesome wedding party made formals a blast, from staging a football stand-off, to clamoring over the rocks for group shots. Throw in the awesome sunset, and a reception full of laughter and you got yourself a pretty cool wedding :)

Congratulations you two!

Kristin and John Same-Day Edit (Hale Koa, Waikiki)



Kristin and John Same-Day-Edit (Hale Koa, Waikiki) from Isle Media on Vimeo.

Hailing from California, Kristin and John decided to have their destination wedding on Oahu! Both have a huge passion for sports (Kristin played multiple sports growing up, and John coaches volleyball and basketball to inner city kids), so it was very fitting that they had a sports theme for their big day. From the volleyball for the guests to sign, to the game-day theme grand entrance, Kristin and John's day was filled with lots of memorable moments...congratulations you two!

Cassie and Tommy Married!

Cassie and Tommy decided to have their destination wedding out on the North Shore, at Dillingham Ranch, a brand new venue for us! This wedding really showed us just how much family love can overcome any kind of physical distance. On the day of, Cassie received a special package in the mail from her grandmother. It had a pair of handkerchiefs and a ring that she had at her wedding, and wanted to pass it on to Cassie. Let's just say there were a lot of tears! Also, Cassie's sister was unable to fly down to Hawaii for the wedding, so she tuned in via skype on a laptop to watch her sister get married :)

Thank you Cassie and Tommy for letting us be a part of your special day...congratulations!

Kelly and Kevin Same-Day-Edit (Ihilani, Koolina)

When Kelly first inquired about hiring us, she really wanted to incorporate two versions of Falling In Love,  Ingrid >>> into UB40.   The slow melodic beats helped create a very soft and sensitive mood for the getting ready, and then after the ceremony kicked in the video turned more upbeat and happy.  We loved Kelly feathery dress, the custom hangers, and all the little details she mixed in to her day

Congratulations Kelly and Kevin!

Elise and Jamie Post Wedding

I remember when Elise contacted me about her wedding she simply wanted several photos of her and her husband Jamie.  In Isle Media fashion Aly and I spent the afternoon proving that she would want more than just a few photos to remember their wedding day.  We shot at Rocky Point Beach late in the afternoon to catch the sunset but also made use of the greenery and the ply wood fence along the way.  Through our time together it was clear that Elise and Jamie were having just as much fun as we were shooting them.  Their expressions were nothing short of wonderful and showed their upbeat personalities.
