A Big Island venue wedding was a beautiful way for Christy and Nichole to celebrate the life they built together after meeting online. What started as a chance connection quickly grew into the kind of love that makes forever feel like the easiest decision in the world.



After unforgettable first dates at Finnriver Taproom and Tumwater Falls, they knew they had found the person they wanted to build a future with. Soon after, Christy planned a birthday dinner that ended with a surprise proposal. Dessert arrived with tiny fireworks, and their closest friends revealed they had been part of the plan all along. Of course, Nichole’s answer was an enthusiastic yes.


When their wedding day finally arrived, choosing the Royal Kona Resort felt like the perfect next chapter. The Big Island has always held a special place in Christy’s heart. Even better, the celebration gave Nichole the chance to experience Hawaii for the very first time. Surrounded by their closest family and friends, they exchanged heartfelt vows with the sparkling Kona coastline behind them. Every smile, embrace, and happy tear reflected the incredible journey that brought them to this unforgettable moment.












Afterward, the celebration continued with portraits along the lava rock shoreline as soft ocean breezes drifted through the air. Their elegant white gowns stood out beautifully against the dramatic black lava rock and calm blue water. Meanwhile, family gathered close to celebrate every laugh, hug, and joyful moment. The intimate setting made every photograph feel warm, genuine, and full of love.









As the sun dipped lower, the sky transformed into dreamy shades of gold and pink, giving Christy and Nichole the perfect ending to an unforgettable celebration. The flowing veil, glowing sunset, and peaceful shoreline created the kind of magic that only a Big Island venue wedding can offer.





Congratulations, Christy and Nichole! We are so honored to have captured the beginning of your next adventure together and wish you both a lifetime filled with love, laughter, and beautiful new memories.

A Kona Wedding at the Royal Kona Resort already feels magical, but Ashley and Alexsander made the day feel even more special. From the start, their celebration carried such a warm and joyful energy. Their welcome dinner overlooked the ocean and glowed beneath soft string lights. Friends and family gathered together while the sunset painted the sky in soft gold and pink tones.





Their welcome dinner glowed with ocean views stretching endlessly behind them, setting the tone for a wedding weekend that felt intimate, joyful, and deeply personal.









Their story honestly feels like the modern romance everyone hopes for. One Hinge match turned into an instant connection, and not long after, a family vacation to Maui became the setting for a beautiful proposal on the balcony of their ocean view condo.




















Watching them together during their ceremony, it was easy to see that same spark still very much alive. Every glance between them felt full of comfort and excitement all at once. Meanwhile, the tropical florals, soft coastal light, and stunning Big Island scenery created the perfect backdrop for photos that felt romantic without trying too hard.









As the evening unfolded, the celebration only became sweeter. Guests gathered beneath the open sky, laughter carried through the reception space, and the sunset wrapped everything in golden light. From emotional ceremony moments to playful portraits by the lava rock shoreline, every part of Ashley and Alexsander’s wedding felt filled with love and genuine connection.






We feel so honored to have captured this unforgettable Royal Kona Resort celebration and wish these two a lifetime filled with adventure, joy, and sunsets just as beautiful as this one.
