Capturing Your Big Island Wedding: Timeless Memories From the Heart of the Hawaiian Islands
Your wedding day is more than an event—it’s a collection of emotions, connections, and authentic moments that come together to create one beautiful story. For many couples, the Big Island or other parts of the Hawaiian Islands offer the perfect setting for a special day filled with breathtaking scenery, heartfelt traditions, and unforgettable joy. Whether you're planning an intimate celebration with your closest family or a full-scale celebration with your entire hnl ohana, your visuals should feel as magical as the day itself.
At One Moment Hawai‘i, we bring our whole heart into every wedding we capture. With a decade of storytelling woven into the fabric of Moment Hawai‘i, our team is committed to transforming your wedding celebration into timeless memories you’ll cherish forever.
The Beauty of Destination Weddings in the Hawaiian Islands
Couples from all over the world travel to the state of Hawai‘i for the serenity, the culture, and the breathtaking views.

This is why destination weddings here feel unlike anywhere else. The blending of culture, nature, and emotion creates a natural stage for your love story to unfold. Surrounded by the spirit of aloha, your special moments become even more meaningful—perfectly complemented by the ocean breeze, the sway of palm trees, and the glow of golden sunsets.
