Nanakuli beach park beach photo sessions

adamapalmer34 — Mon, 10 Apr 2023 23:20:21 +0000

Nanakuli Beach Park is on Oahu’s leeward coast. It is about 500 feet long and 125 feet wide, lying between two limestone points. The beach is mostly calm but can have high surf and strong currents, especially during the winter and spring. It has parking, restrooms, showers, and lifeguard amenities. It’s about a 10 minute drive from Koolina and Aulani.

It’s west facing so you have a great view of the sunset. You could do a morning shoot here but there is no shade so 6-7am would be ideal for a morning session. It can get crowded on weekends and holidays but for a weekday shoot you should have a lot of beach to yourself.

Oahu Waterfall photo shoot

adamapalmer34 — Sun, 02 May 2021 01:35:14 +0000

Are you looking for a tropical jungle? This one is just minutes off the road and only 20 minute from Waikiki. Lots of big banyan trees, tiny little watefalls, roots, bamboo and everything else a fan of the jungle would love. Pairs great with a bouquet of ginger and heliconia.

Sunset Proposal at Spitting caves, Hawaii Kai

adamapalmer34 — Mon, 26 Apr 2021 23:57:25 +0000

If you are looking for a dramatic location in the Waikiki area for a sunset shoot your should consider spitting caves in Portlock. We shot this surprise proposal there. The black lava rock and the 180 view of sky and water are very beautiful and relaxing.

Laie Point wedding and Portrait Photography

adamapalmer34 — Tue, 09 Mar 2021 02:14:57 +0000

Laie Point is a dramatic location on Oahu’s north side that is quite famous for it’s views. It almost due east into the sunrise. You have ocean on all three sides. The sandstone cliffs are about 30 feet tall in the tallest areas. There are some places to cliff dive if you are into that. When I was growing up in Laie I spent a lot of time jumping off the cliffs and swimming out to the islands just off the point. Now I come here to shoot landscape photos and couples. There are a lot of great vantage points. If you get married at Tiki moon Villas or Laie temple this is a great second location just around the corner.

Catching a sunrise at Kualoa is alwasy a great idea. The mountains are so dramatic and you may get lucky and get a rainbow. (After getting wet for 20 seconds.) You really don’t have to drive too far from Waikiki to get into the country on Oahu.

Waimanalo Wedding, Sherwood forest Oahu

adamapalmer34 — Thu, 25 Feb 2021 21:20:36 +0000

Sherwoods beach in Waimanalo is a great place for a morning ceremony. If you get there early enough you can have quite a bit of beach alone to yourself. The turquoise of the water and white sand make you feel like you are stepping right into a post card from Hawaii. Shay and Thor were so fun to photograph. You could really see the love in their eyes.

Kakaako Street art portrait session

Hawaii has amazing beaches and tropical jungles but if you want something completely different. How about doing your next photoshoot in the Kakaako neighborhood of Honolulu. It’s right around the corner from the Ala Moana neighborhood. There is some amazing street art. You could be there all day enjoying all the artwork. The range of styles and colors is quite impressive.

Crouching Lion Hike Oahu photo session

adamapalmer34 — Thu, 04 Feb 2021 19:23:24 +0000

Kahana bay is on the north east side of Oahu. It’s about 50 minutes from Waikiki but well worth the drive. It’s a perfect place for a honeymoon photo session, engagement session or even an elopement. Minami and Pukana hiked to the top with me to get some cute couples shots. It’s about 20 minutes hike right up the side of the mountain. They hiked up in exercise clothes and changed up at the top. We started around 4 for some nice rays of afternoon light. After 20 mins up a the ridge we went down to the bay to finish up the shoot in the water. The dogs can hardly wait to jump in. Kahana bay is a great place for a pet photo session.

What do you do when the sun hasn’t shown up in day and the wind is whipping up at 20-30mph? Head to Kahana bay for a couples shoot. Minami and Pukana braved the freezing weather for some fun pics. Kahana bay is located on the north east side of Oahu. It’s a great spot for cloudy days and for people who love earth tones in their pictures. It a very beautiful crescent shaped bay with a river entering in the middle. On the north end of the beach you will find a lot of kids surfing the tiny waves but on the south side it’s usually quite empty.
