There is something truly magical about weddings—the anticipation, the deep emotions, the little in-between moments that make the day unforgettable. As a wedding photographer in Oahu, I don’t just take pictures; I tell love stories through my lens. From the way your dress sways in the ocean breeze to the way your partner looks at you during your vows, I capture every little detail—the delicate florals, the joyful tears, the stolen glances—because these are the moments that make your day uniquely yours.
Photography is my passion. Every couple’s love story is different, and that’s what keeps me inspired. I pour my heart, creativity, and care into every wedding I photograph, making sure each image reflects the beauty of your connection. Whether it’s an intimate beach elopement, a romantic sunset ceremony, or a luxury resort wedding, I approach every event with fresh eyes and an open heart, ensuring that your photos feel as special as the day itself.
More than just beautiful images, I want you to have a stress-free, joyful experience from start to finish. Clear communication, thoughtful planning, and a genuine connection with my couples allow me to capture you in the most natural and meaningful way. When you look back at your wedding photos, I want you to feel the love, hear the laughter, and remember every precious detail. 💕
I would be honored to document your love story in Oahu or wherever in the world your heart takes you to get married. Let’s create something beautiful together and memories you will treasure for a lifetime.

Wedding Photography..
There’s something so special about families (small and large) coming together in paradise—laughing, exploring, and making memories that will be treasured for a lifetime. As an Oahu family photographer, I have the privilege of capturing the love, joy, and connections that make your vacation truly unforgettable. Whether it’s a first-time trip to Hawaii or a cherished annual tradition, my goal is to document the magic of your time here so you can relive it for years to come.
Hawaii has a way of bringing people closer, allowing families to step away from daily routines and simply enjoy being together. From playful beach moments at sunrise to quiet embraces during a golden sunset, I focus on the little details—the way your kids run barefoot in the sand, the laughter shared during a spontaneous splash in the waves, and the gentle hand squeezes that show just how much these moments mean.
These vacations are often once-in-a-lifetime experiences, and I pour my heart, creativity, and care into making every session a reflection of your family’s unique bond. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone, a long-awaited reunion, or simply the joy of being together in paradise, I’ll ensure your photos feel as special as your time on the island.
As the heart behind Chris McChesney Photography, I would be honored to capture the love and laughter of your family’s time in Oahu. Let’s create something beautiful—memories that will bring you back to the island, long after your footprints in the sand have disappeared. 🌺✨

Family Photography..
There’s something undeniably magical about love in paradise—the soft ocean breeze, golden sunsets, and the way time seems to slow down when you’re with the one you love. As an Oahu couples photographer, I am inspired by the deep connections shared during romantic getaways, honeymoons, and tropical vacations. Whether it’s your first time visiting Hawaii or a tradition you cherish, this island has a way of amplifying love and creating moments you’ll never forget.
From playful beach strolls and quiet sunset embraces to laughter-filled adventures along the shoreline, I focus on capturing the unspoken love between you and your partner—the way they look at you when you’re not watching, the way your hands naturally find each other, and the effortless joy you share. Every session is a chance to tell a love story, and I bring my creativity, care, and artistic vision to ensure your photos feel as authentic and special as your time together.
My passion lies in making this experience effortless, fun, and deeply meaningful. Whether you’re celebrating a honeymoon in Waikiki, an anniversary on the North Shore, or a spontaneous romantic escape to Lanikai Beach, I approach each session with fresh eyes and an open heart, capturing the details and emotions that make your love one of a kind.
I would be honored to document your love story in Oahu. Let’s create something timeless—images that transport you back to this beautiful moment, long after the footprints in the sand have faded. 💕
