Meet Paul & Dewi, the husband and wife team behind Aloha Island Weddings in Honolulu.
Hello, We Are Paul & Dewi
We are a husband and wife team who share a love for life, music, photography and Hawaii. Together we plan and coordinate weddings, vow renewals and proposals on Oahu, and we photograph and film them too, so your day is designed, captured and cared for by the same two people.
Our motto is simple: “Teamwork makes the dream work.” Our work comes from a passion for excellence and a love of creativity. Our style is natural, relaxed, fun and a little glamorous, and we create an easygoing setting where you can be yourselves and enjoy every moment.
Our vision
A Passion for Dreams & a Love for Life
Aloha Island Weddings started with a dream and our love for each other, and it has grown into a family tradition. We believe every idea and every point of view helps form the bigger picture. Staying open and playful, focused yet free, is how inspiration turns your wedding dreams into something real.
While one of us is behind the camera, the other is making sure your ceremony runs smoothly. Couples often tell us they are amazed at how much we can do, and how relaxed they felt on their wedding day.
How it began
From Harpist to Wedding Planner
Couples often ask how I got started in weddings. It all began with music. I have always loved music, and I studied composition and theory at the University of Hawaii, where I was lucky enough to take private harp lessons from the Honolulu Symphony harpist. Soon I was invited to play the harp for weddings and events at hotels across Waikiki, including ceremonies at Waimea Falls on the North Shore. Performing later took me to Japan and Singapore.
After playing at so many weddings, I fell in love with helping couples create their perfect day, and Aloha Island Weddings was born. One of my favorite recordings is Pachelbel’s Canon on the harp, layered with the sounds of dolphins and the ocean. You can still see me play on our harp page. — Paul
