Plan your coverage

Photography and film

One creative approach for your island wedding.

Choose wedding photography, wedding films or both. We plan the coverage around the moments that matter, from an intimate elopement to a celebration with everyone you love.

Wedding photography

Natural portraits, candid expressions and the details of the day. Give portraits their own place in the timeline while leaving room for the moments that unfold around them.

Wedding films

The voices, movement and atmosphere of your celebration. When you book photography and film together, our artists work from one coordinated plan.

Explore collections and pricing

A team built around your plans.

BlackTie Brothers is a national wedding photography and film company with dedicated regional artists in Hawaiʻi. We match the team to your wedding and manage editing through one company, with a shared creative standard. For every island, your date, venue, style and priorities shape the plan. We confirm artist availability, travel and coverage around your full itinerary, and your planner can coordinate directly with our team.

  1. Tell us where and when.

    Send your date, island, venue or location, and whether you want photography, film or both.

  2. Shape the coverage.

    We review the events you want documented, the places you will move between and the people you want close.

  3. Confirm the plan.

    We shape your proposal around coverage, locations and travel, then coordinate the team and timeline as your plans come together.

Planning in Hawaiʻi

Make room for the island.

A thoughtful route, a flexible portrait window and a weather alternative keep your photography and film plans connected to the day.

Oʻahu

Honolulu, Waikīkī & Kapolei.

We cover weddings across Oʻahu, from Honolulu and Waikīkī to Kapolei and beyond. Share your venue and portrait plans so we can connect the locations without rushing the moments between them.

Maui

Wailea, Kāʻanapali & beyond.

Our Maui wedding coverage includes Wailea, Kāʻanapali and communities across the island. Whether your plans stay at one venue or unfold over several days, we build photography and film coverage around the full celebration.

Kauaʻi

Poʻipū, Princeville & your island plans.

We serve weddings across Kauaʻi, including Poʻipū and Princeville. Tell us where you are gathering and which moments matter most so portrait time and the setting fit naturally into your day.

Hawaiʻi Island

Kailua-Kona, Hilo & beyond.

Our Hawaiʻi Island coverage includes Kailua-Kona, Hilo and celebrations across the Big Island. Share every venue and event day so the team, travel and coverage can be planned together.

Start with the island, then the route.

Include getting ready, the ceremony, reception and any portrait stop when you share your plans. Transportation options vary by island. For plans spanning islands or days, leave room for travel, arrival and settling in.

Plan for the weather at your venue.

Hawaiʻi’s terrain can bring different rainfall conditions within a short distance. Keep a covered portrait option and check the forecast for the actual location, rather than another part of the island.

Give portraits a place in the day.

Agree on a realistic portrait window with your planner and venue, including where you can go and how long it takes to get there. Include any second location or another day’s session before fixing the itinerary.

Your questions

Planning your Hawaiʻi wedding? Start here.

Which Hawaiian islands do you serve?

We cover weddings statewide: Oʻahu, Maui, Kauaʻi and Hawaiʻi Island, also known as the Big Island. That includes Honolulu, Waikīkī and Kapolei on Oʻahu; Wailea and Kāʻanapali on Maui; Poʻipū and Princeville on Kauaʻi; and Kailua-Kona and Hilo on Hawaiʻi Island. Whichever island it is, we confirm artist availability, travel and coverage around your date, venue and full itinerary.

Can we book both wedding photography and film?

Yes. Choose photography, film or both. We build the coverage around your priorities, with our photographers and filmmakers working from one shared plan so they help each other instead of getting in each other’s way.

Can you cover an elopement or more than one day?

Yes. We cover elopements and destination weddings across Hawaiʻi. If your plans include a welcome event, portraits on another day or more than one island, put those details in your inquiry and we’ll work out the right coverage.

How should we plan for travel and outdoor portraits?

Share each location, allow real time to move between them and keep a covered backup for portraits. If your plans span islands or days, walk us through the full itinerary before you finalize your coverage and schedule.

Do you travel for destination weddings in Hawaiʻi, and how is travel priced?

Yes. Whether you live on the islands or are flying in, we plan by phone, video and email well before the wedding week. BlackTie Brothers is a national company with dedicated regional artists in Hawaiʻi, and we match the team to your island and date. Hawaiʻi collections have their own published starting prices, and any travel for your island or between islands is worked out for your itinerary and confirmed in your proposal before you book. See Hawaiʻi collections and pricing, or open complete galleries and films in our portfolio and ask us for the examples closest to your plans.

What should we send when checking our date?

Send us your wedding date, the island, your venue or location, and whether you’re thinking about photography, film or both. Mention any extra events or locations you’d like included.

Your island. Your people. Your story.

Tell us what you are planning in Hawaiʻi.
