Photographing an oceanfront wedding at Koa Kea Resort

Koa Kea Resort sits right on Poipu Beach on Kauai’s south shore, and its oceanfront lawn is a beautiful setting for a small wedding. For this ceremony, a round arch dressed in coral and pink tropical flowers stood on the grass, with palm trees, trimmed hedges and the open ocean behind it.

With 40 guests, the day stayed intimate and easy to follow. Before the ceremony, I photographed the getting-ready moments and details, like the rings resting on the bouquet and the welcome sign. The couple exchanged vows with the Pacific as their backdrop, then we slipped away for portraits along the walkway at sunset, with soft pink light over the water. Afterward, everyone moved to Red Salt, the resort’s restaurant, for the reception, where I photographed the table details and the celebration.
