Before the guests arrive, before the music starts, before the champagne is poured. 🌴

Just the place as it is... the palms, the ocean, the architecture, the flowers, the little details that made you fall in love with it in the first place.

Venue: Male'ana Gardens

I love making time for these quiet photos on a wedding day. They’re some of my favorites to frame at home and a sweet little reminder of the place where it all happened. 🤍

A little Hawaiʻi haul 🌺🤍

Part of the fun of every trip is bringing home pieces that remind me of it! This time it was a mix of thrift finds, local goodies, and shells collected on early morning beach walks. (Don’t worry I only brought home empty shells. 🐚 )

What’s your favorite souvenir to bring home from vacation?

08/03/2026

As a mom, here’s my unsolicited vacation advice: book the family photos. 🤍

One day your kids will love looking back at these photos... and they’ll be so grateful you’re in them, too.

Some weddings remind you that timing is everything. 🤍

R + L have been together for 18 years, but planned their Bayer Estate wedding on Oʻahu in just a few short months so they could celebrate while Lauren’s dad was still well enough to be there. Watching him stand up for the Father & Daughter dance is something I’ll never forget.

The craziest part? I had blocked off the entire month of July to spend in Hawaiʻi with my family because I didn’t have any weddings booked. I took it as a sign to slow down and be present. The moment I clicked “confirm” on our flights... their inquiry landed in my inbox.

Some things are just meant to be.

Mahalo to Sugako with Bliss Bridal Hawaii Event Planner for trusting me once again with one of her incredible couples at Bayer Estate. 🤍

Golden light, ocean air, and the sweetest season of waiting 🤍

If you’re expecting and looking for an Orange County family photographer, beach sessions along the Southern California coast are always some of my favorites ✨

Long overdue headshot update deserves a permanent spot on my feed 📌
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’re new here (or have been around for a while), welcome! I’m Erin: the owner, photographer, editor, email responder, timeline-helper, and everything in between behind Erin Kaiulani Photo ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I was born and raised in Southern California, but Hawaiʻi has always been home in a big way. Both of my parents were born and raised on Oʻahu, they gave all of us Hawaiian middle names, and some of my favorite childhood memories were summers on the North Shore. These days, I feel lucky that my work takes me between Southern California and Hawaiʻi so often.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve spent years documenting weddings, families, newborns, events, and all of life’s biggest moments, and one thing has stayed the same through all of it: I care deeply about people and connection. Beautiful photos matter, of course, but what I really love are the in-between moments. The happy tears, the belly laughs, the hugs from grandparents, the tiny baby stretches, and the moments you don’t realize are important until years later.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Lately, life looks a little different too. I’m also a mom to two little ones and motherhood has changed so much about the way I photograph and the way I see the world. If you’re here, thank you for following along 🤍🌺
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Huge thank you to San Diego & Temecula Wedding Photographer for making being on the other side of the lens feel so easy.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Allison + Aaron’s Ole Hanson wedding in San Clemente was one of those days that makes you believe in love a little more 🤍

These two are truly, deeply in love and it was beautiful to witness from beginning to end. Their Southern California wedding was full of little pieces of them from honoring their first date with Cardinals jerseys for their grand entrance, to sweet nods to their doodle Louis woven throughout the details.

However, one of my favorite moments wasn’t planned at all. During their first look on the iconic Ole Hanson tile steps, off to the left side of the frame was Allison’s mom quietly watching it all unfold 🥹

Those are always the photos that stay with me.
