If you love stories that sparkle, this one’s for you. Every unforgettable chapter in Oahu wedding photography begins with a little magic. And for Jinyi and Raymond, it all started beneath the glow of the Hope Diamond. They met at the Natural History Museum in Washington, D.C., where their shared love of history and art drew them to the same exhibit. Years later, Raymond recreated that moment, proposing with a miniature model of the museum and hiding the ring where the Hope Diamond would have been. Pure brilliance!
Their Oahu wedding at Crystal Chapel was just as luminous. The venue’s soaring glass arches and the soft Hawaiian light created a scene straight out of a dream. As they exchanged vows, the entire space felt wrapped in warmth and serenity, a reflection of two people who’ve crossed oceans and time zones to find their forever. Keep reading to see more highlights from their special day!









Surrounded by friends and family who traveled from across the globe, their day overflowed with love. Every smile, every teary embrace, felt like a celebration of everything they’d built together. It was a moment of connection and gratitude, the kind that makes Oahu wedding photography so meaningful and timeless.










After the ceremony, they stepped onto the beach for their newlywed portraits. The rain had finally cleared, the sea shimmered, and the golden light made the sand shine. Jinyi’s gown fluttered in the breeze as Raymond held her close, both radiant with joy. It was a perfect ending to their perfect day, a story written in light, love, and the beauty of Hawaii itself.












Congratulations, Jinyi and Raymond! Mahalo for letting us capture your amazing day!
