Who We Are
Arranging Hawaii weddings since 1992.
The company began as a partnership between Tim Clark, a professional photographer, and Rev. Rodney Shim, a minister. Together they photographed and performed 10 to 15 weddings a month, with a vision that was different from the start: weddings on the major Hawaiian Islands, with local professionals who truly understood the culture.
Today we stand as one of the original destination wedding companies in Hawaii, built on decades of experience and local relationships.
Local Professionals Only
From day one we have worked exclusively with local Hawaiian professionals who know the culture and the places.
Every Couple Welcome
Our ministers and officiants are non denominational and marry all faiths, and you choose who fits your lifestyle.
Permits & License Handled
Beach wedding permit, insurance and your marriage license appointment, all arranged for you.
Founded by a Photographer
Tim Clark is a professional photographer, and professional photography is part of every package.
