Sam and Hailee’s wedding day began with quiet anticipation as they prepared in separate suites at the stunning Four Seasons hotel. Hailee spent the morning surrounded by her closest friends and family, savoring every heartfelt moment as her bridal look came together. Meanwhile, Sam shared laughs and camaraderie with his groomsmen, the buzz of the day building steadily in his room.

The day’s emotions started to unfold during the first looks. Hailee shared a heartfelt moment with her dad, who couldn’t hide his pride seeing her in her dress. Then came the first look between Sam and Hailee, where his smile said it all—pure happiness.

This ocean side ceremony couldn’t have been more perfect. They had these dark wooden chairs set up in neat rows, just enough for their close friends and family—it felt so intimate. The arch was simple but just the right touch of beautiful, with Hawaiian-style flowers that matched perfectly with the ones along the aisle. It wasn’t over-the-top, just really them.

When everyone walked down the aisle, you could feel how much love was in the air. Hailee and Sam’s vows were so emotional—there wasn’t a dry eye in the crowd.

After the ceremony, everyone headed off to the cocktail hour, which gave me the perfect chance to sneak away with the bride and groom for some sunset photos. The great thing about Lanikuhonua is that it has this amazing beach, so we made our way down during golden hour. The light was incredible, and we captured some of the most romantic, intimate moments—it felt like time slowed down for them.

After we finished up, they headed back to the reception, ready to dive into the night with their favorite people. You could tell they were excited to just relax, celebrate, and soak in all the love around them.
