Hi I am a wedding photographer in Hawaii and do many small intimate ceremonies. If it is just the two of you then I know a couple different beaches that are more private and you will be able to do an intimate ceremony. The only thing you need to coordinate would be a officiant and that usually runs anywhere between $100 and $200. Two of my favorite beaches to shoot at are Police Beach on the North Shore. This is the beach that the show Lost was filmed on. The other one is at Ko Olina. It is not at the main resort but you can get to it from the main resort and not allot of people know about it. In fact the only people that are ever there are people who are getting photos taken. They both have gorgeous backdrops for wedding pictures, and the sun sets on these beaches. check out my AlyssaPix facebook page to see some samples from these locations. Hope this helps!

Dinner at Paradise Cove starts at about 7pm, however there are a bunch of activities to do before the luau such as lei making and hula lessons, boat rides, tattoos ect. I believe the doors open at 5pm with a mai tai greeting. Then people walk the grounds for a couple hours and do all the activity booths before dinner. So if you were planning a sunset ceremony you will miss allot of the activities at the Luau. However if you do the ceremony earlier the sun will be very bright and harsh and is not very great lighting for pictures. Just some food for thought while you are in the planning stages.

You might want to look into some beach houses as an option. They are usually allot cheaper to rent by the week then a hotel. Also it allows families to split cost and gives you a full kitchen. I am a wedding photographer on Oahu so let me know if you have any other questions I could help you with. Mahalo Alyssa Turner
