Magic Island on Oahu..
Getting to know..
Magic Island Photography with Oahu Photographer Chris McChesney
Magic Island, located within Ala Moana Beach Park, is one of Honolulu’s most scenic and iconic photography locations. Originally planned as a resort site in the 1960s, this man-made peninsula was transformed into a beautiful public park, now beloved for its lush green lawns, calm lagoon, and panoramic views of Waikiki, Diamond Head, and the Pacific Ocean. With its stunning oceanfront setting and urban skyline backdrop, Magic Island offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and city charm for any photoshoot.
As an Oahu family photographer, Oahu wedding photographer, Oahu elopement photographer, Oahu surprise proposal photographer, Oahu family beach photographer, and Oahu couples photographer, I love capturing timeless and breathtaking images at Magic Island. Whether you’re celebrating a wedding, surprise proposal, senior graduation, or family gathering, this spot provides stunning backdrops and endless creative possibilities.
Why Magic Island is Perfect for Photography
✨ Golden Hour & Sunset Views: The best time for photos is at sunset, when the sky glows with warm, golden tones, silhouetting Diamond Head and the Honolulu skyline for breathtaking portraits.
✨ Diverse & Scenic Backdrops: From the calm lagoon and rocky shoreline to open grassy areas and swaying palm trees, Magic Island offers a mix of tropical and urban beauty.
✨ Ideal for Weddings & Elopements: Nearby wedding chapels, like St. Augustine by the Sea Church and Central Union Church, provide elegant ceremony spaces, allowing couples to transition to Magic Island for romantic post-ceremony portraits.
✨ Perfect for Families & Couples: Whether you want playful beachside family portraits or intimate engagement photos, this location provides a relaxed and scenic setting with plenty of space to move and explore.
