USS Arizona Memorial on Oahu..
Getting to know..
USS Arizona Memorial Photography with Oahu Photographer Chris McChesney
The USS Arizona Memorial, located in Pearl Harbor, is one of the most solemn and historically significant landmarks in the United States, honoring the lives lost during the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. Floating peacefully above the sunken battleship, the memorial provides a powerful and meaningful setting for military and Navy photography, capturing moments of honor, reflection, and legacy.
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 creating respectful and impactful images that commemorate military retirements, promotions, family milestones, and special ceremonies. The calm harbor waters, the stark white memorial, and the deep historical significance of the site make every photograph a tribute to service and sacrifice.
Why the USS Arizona Memorial is Perfect for Military Photography
✨ A Historic & Reverent Setting: The memorial’s peaceful presence over the sunken USS Arizona provides a deeply meaningful location to honor military service.
✨ Powerful Backdrops for Retirements & Promotions: Capture a career of dedication and commitment in a setting that reflects service, sacrifice, and history.
✨ Surrounding Pearl Harbor Historic Sites: Nearby, the Battleship Missouri and the Pacific Aviation Museumoffer additional dynamic military backdrops, contrasting the stillness of the harbor with the strength of the vessels.
✨ Ideal for Military Weddings & Family Portraits: The Pearl Harbor Memorial Chapel and Hickam Chapelprovide elegant venues for ceremonies, allowing couples to transition to the USS Arizona Memorial for stunning, historic wedding portraits.
✨ Golden Hour Lighting: Early morning and late afternoon light cast a soft glow over the water and memorial, creating a peaceful and respectful atmosphere for timeless photography.
