Are you considering engagement photos while you're visiting Oahu, Hawaii? What better place is there to document this special time in your life that with engagement photos?! This island really has the best of everything!! Waikiki is the epitome of a tropical urban environment and the east side has the most beautiful beaches.
As a photographer in Hawaii, I am excited to share with you some of my favorite locations that will make your engagement photo experience truly memorable. Today I am going to share with you some of my favorite engagement photography session locations.
From stunning mountain vistas to peaceful slow flowing rivers, Oahu has so many options to choose from for our photography adventure!! Every beach on this list is easy to access from the parking lot, making for a stress free but still extra fun photo session.
In this blog post, we will explore my top 4 best locations for engagement photography on the island of Oahu starting with one you might not have heard of. Consider this your ultimate guide to incredible photos:
Kahana Bay Beach
Kahana Bay Beach is surrounded by lush, tropical vegetation and mountains, which make a stunning backdrop for photos.
The beach is more secluded compared to some other popular beaches on Oahu. This can provide a more intimate setting for engagement photos, allowing couples to capture candid and personal moments without distractions.
The beach is less developed compared to some other tourist-heavy locations, providing a more natural and unspoiled feel.
This beach also requires a bit of extra time to to the permit required to shoot here. No worries I can help by taking care of all that, just keep in mind we need a little bit of extra time to make it happen!
Makapuu Beach Park
The combination of the ocean, rugged cliffs, and distant islands can create a unique and breathtaking backdrop for engagement photos.
The Makapu'u Lighthouse, sitting on a volcanic hillside overlooking the beach, adds a unique an element to your couples photography.
The beach features interesting lava rock formations as well as a beautiful white sand beach, so you can have both! The contrast between the lava rock and the sand is truly romantic.
Makapu'u Beach Park is easily accessible, with a paved trail leading to the beach and viewpoints. This makes it convenient for couples to get breathtaking views without extensive hiking. It's worth pointing out that Makapu'u Beach is known for its breathtaking sunrise views. Couples who wake up early get great photos!
Waikiki Beach
While it may not be as secluded as some other locations, Waikiki Beach has its own appeal for engagement photos.
Waikiki is known for its iconic backdrop of Diamond Head, a volcanic crater, and the Honolulu cityscape.
It's versatile and accessible. There are various points of interest within a relatively compact area. This accessibility makes it convenient for couples and photographers to explore different settings without extensive travel.
Kualoa Regional Park
Imagine a huge volcanic mountains surrounded and lush vegetation everywhere. Islands in the distance. Gentle waves so you can end your session in the water if you want.
It's secluded yet extremely easy to access. No 4wd required. Plenty of parking. And you get the look of mountains and beach! What more could you want?!
When it comes to selecting a photographer, it's important to choose someone who is experienced and knowledgeable about the specific location.
