Pearl Harbor on Oahu..

Getting to know..

Pearl Harbor Photography with Oahu Photographer Chris McChesney

 

Pearl Harbor, with its deep military history and strong ties to the U.S. Navy, is one of the most meaningful locations for military and Navy photography. Home to the USS Arizona Memorial and the Battleship Missouri (“Mighty Mo”), this historic site provides a powerful and honorable setting for military retirements, promotions, and Navy family portraits. Standing on the deck of the USS Missouri, where World War II officially ended, adds a profound sense of history and pride to any military photoshoot or ceremony.

 

As an Oahu family photographer, Oahu wedding photographer, Oahu elopement photographer, Oahu surprise proposal photographer, Oahu family beach photographer, and Oahu couples photographer, I specialize in capturing the emotion, honor, and legacy of military service. Whether you’re celebrating a career milestone, a promotion, or a Navy family’s journey, Pearl Harbor offers a symbolic and visually striking setting for timeless photos.

 

Why Pearl Harbor is Perfect for Military Photography

 

✨ A Historic & Honorable Setting: With the USS Missouri, USS Arizona Memorial, and peaceful harbor waters, this location honors service and sacrifice in every image.

 

✨ Iconic Backdrops for Retirements & Promotions: The USS Missouri’s grand decks create a striking and memorable setting for military retirement ceremonies and promotions.

 

✨ Perfect for Navy Family & Couples Sessions: Capture meaningful family portraits or post-ceremony wedding photos at a location that represents dedication, pride, and history.

 

✨ Nearby Military Chapels for Weddings & Events: The Pearl Harbor Memorial Chapel and Hickam Chapelprovide elegant ceremony venues, allowing couples to transition to Pearl Harbor for stunning military wedding portraits.

 

✨ Golden Hour & Sunset Lighting: The late afternoon light casts a warm, golden glow, enhancing the serene harbor views and the battleship’s impressive silhouette.
