Oahu Photoshoot Locations
Waimanalo Beach
This is my main beach that I shoot at. It's usually void of people and there are lots of options for backdrops- mountains on one side, a pretty grove of trees, and of course, a beautiful beach.
The sun does not actually set on this side of the island, but the sky fills with pretty pastels

Kualoa Beach
This is my new favorite spot! It has the most diversity of any location-a pretty beach, palm trees, islands in the distance, and gorgeous mountain backdrops
Lanikai Beach
Think white sand, calm turquoise waters and twin islands in the distance
The sun does not actually set on this side of the island, but it produces cool pinks and purples in the sky

Eastside Botanical Garden
Lush, tropical and full of greenery- these are the best mountain views on the island
Ideal shoot time is 2pm due to park hours. Also this location requires a $25 permit in advance
Afternoon
Makai Pier
The pier is beautiful on it's own; it also has some palm trees, lava rock and a sandy beach nearby
The Fields
A great alternative to a beach, this spot is full of sun flares and golden vibes
Makapu'u Beach
This beach is spotted with black lava rock and has some of the bluest ocean water on the entire island.
During the morning hours, the bright blue ocean contrasts so nicely with the black lava rock
