The quiet before
Lei, rings, the last look in the mirror. One of us arrives early for the details while the other walks the beach for the light.
Wailea Photo presents
The Signature Wedding
Two photographers · Kodak film · Three unhurried hours
For couples who want every detail, and none of the worry
The Signature is the wedding we would plan for our own family. Your officiant, florist, permit and photographers come from one small team that has worked these beaches together for years — so the only thing left for you to do is arrive.
The vows
Derick Sebastian, our Native Hawaiian officiant, leads the ceremony beneath Mya's arch. Two cameras: one in colour, one on black & white film.
Golden hour
When the guests reach for their drinks, we take the two of you down to the water for the last light of the day.
Made on film, to be handed down
Your second photographer shoots Kodak black & white film alongside our Leica digital — grain, depth and tone that no filter imitates.
