Waialae Country Club is Honolulu's most prestigious private wedding venue — a historic, elegant property in the exclusive Kahala neighborhood with stunning ocean views, beautifully manicured grounds, and a timeless island elegance that's perfectly suited to formal and luxury weddings.
Home to the Sony Open PGA Tour event, Waialae's grounds are immaculately maintained and the venue offers a level of service and exclusivity that few Oahu venues can match. Weddings here carry a certain prestige and refinement, and our photography reflects that — elevated, timeless, and beautifully composed.
Waialae Country Club's combination of ocean views, manicured fairways, mature tropical trees, and elegant clubhouse architecture creates a rich variety of portrait environments within a single venue. The ocean-facing areas provide stunning backdrop options, while the golf course grounds offer open, bright spaces perfect for wide-angle group shots and formal portraits.
The clubhouse itself — with its classic Hawaiian architecture and beautifully appointed interior — provides excellent reception photography opportunities. We've covered everything from intimate 50-person celebrations to large formal receptions at Waialae and know the venue's spaces and light conditions intimately.
Waialae's location in Kahala, Honolulu's most exclusive residential neighborhood, adds to its character. The surrounding area is quiet, private, and refined — a world away from the bustle of Waikiki. Diamond Head is visible from parts of the property, adding one of Hawaii's most iconic landmarks as an occasional backdrop for portraits.
The mature trees throughout the grounds provide natural shade and dappled light — excellent for portrait work during the midday hours when direct sun would otherwise be harsh.
Waialae Country Club attracts couples who want a formal, luxury wedding experience. Our photography style adapts to this — we bring the same editorial, cinematic approach but with an emphasis on elegance, precision, and timeless composition. Every detail is captured beautifully, from the floral arrangements to the table settings to the formal portraits of the bridal party.
