Jamie and Alex’s wedding at Paliku Gardens at Kualoa Ranch was everything they dreamed of! In the lush hills of Kaneohe, Oahu, this amazing venue set the stage for a truly unforgettable day. Surrounded by panoramic views of the ocean, mountains, and the tropical greenery, Paliku Gardens brought a natural beauty to every photo.

Planning a destination wedding can be tricky, but Jamie and Alex were in the best hands with the talented team at 1979! Known for their full-service packages, 1979 made sure every detail was perfectly planned and executed. From the florals and decor to the day-of timeline, they took care of everything. This allowed Jamie and Alex to fully immerse themselves in the experience without a hitch. Working alongside 1979 made the day flow beautifully, and their commitment to creating a seamless event allowed me to focus on capturing every meaningful moment for them at Paliku Gardens.
