Anyone looking for an Antarctica wedding photographer? You’ve found the right place. I’m now opening up a spot for an adventurous couple looking to elope or get married in Antarctica. I’m hoping to book a couple who wants the most epic wedding photos within this year or next. No doubt, this will be a unique experience with super amazing photography. Contact me if you’re interested.

As many of you know, I am known as one of the pioneers of the adventure wedding photography movement that brought the backpacks and boots to brides and wedding photos. The most notable is the Mt. Everest wedding that went viral globally. In 2015, my wedding couple and I were hiking up towards Mt. Everest basecamp when the catastrophic Nepal earthquake struck and killed many. You can watch the Netflix documentary called Aftershock. We were blessed to make it back and return home. But I didn’t give up. The vision was still strong in me. In 2017, I returned to Mount Everest for another adventure wedding attempt with another couple and we accomplished it. It was quite unbelievable and grand; hard work, but all worth it.

Ever since that wedding, so much has happened, and I have been busy photographing adventure elopements and weddings; some around the world, and many of them in my area near Yosemite National Park and Lake Tahoe, California.

I’m hoping to attempt something different and book an adventurous couple for this Antarctica trip. Contact me and let’s get a conversation started.

Excited to plan your Antarctica wedding or elopement?

Let’s talk and get you started.

Kualoa Ranch Wedding

Tom and Sierra’s Kualoa Ranch wedding was romantic and epic, a once in a lifetime experience for them. Of course, I enjoyed it too. As a photographer capturing weddings and adventure elopements in Hawaii, it’s breathtaking to experience the Kualoa valley. Yes, there are many venues in Oahu that are beautiful, but I believe they chose one of the best to tie the knot. Kualoa boasts of over 4,000 acres of lush tropical valleys, majestic mountains, and pristine beaches. The ranch has been used as a filming location for many Hollywood movies, such as Godzilla and Jurassic Park, and is a popular tourist destination. Having your wedding here is a dream come true for many couples.

Starting at the Alohilani Resort Waikiki Beach, the ladies had their makeup and hair done. The room had a vibrant ocean view up high. Tom got ready at the cottage at Moli’i Gardens, where most of the time would be spent.

Jumanji Valley, Kualoah Valley

From there, we all met at the famous Jumanji property for our couple to have their first look. We were led on a dirt road to the valley by Rocky, who was great guide. When we arrived, the scenery was all wow factor. And when Tom and Sierra arrived and saw each other for the first time, it was like a movie. The best expressions, the best scenery, and the best weather. (By the way, it had been raining for weeks prior, even the day before when my videographer and I drove to the location to check in and communicate. Their wedding day was the first day it had stopped in a while.).

Secret Island Beach and Moli’i Gardens

After we photographed them in the Kualoa Valley, guests started to arrive at the Moli’i gardens ready for a boat shuttle across to Secret Island beach. This is where they would get married. You can see the iconic Mokoli’i Island behind them as they exchange vows. If you have your wedding at the Paliku Gardens, you get another view of Mokoli’i, a distinguished land site.

At the completion of the beach ceremony and family photos, we all headed back to the shuttle for the evening reception at Moli’i gardens. Dinner was served, touching speeches were shared, choreographed dancing by the bride and groom were cheered on, the cake was cut and eaten, and a party to wrap up the evening made it a stellar wedding.

Congratulations to Tom and Sierra, and all their families. Thank you to all the vendors who made the day go so well.
