Loulou Farms Is Actually An Agricultural Farm!

Loulu Palm Farm Estate is classified as an agribusiness that propagates the endangered Loulu Palm tree and also cultivates many other native Hawaiian agricultural species. It also serves as a generational home and, of course, one of Oahu’s best wedding venues.

The owners live on property and are some of the kindest people I have ever met. They have a true desire to serve and care deeply about each and every one of their guests. They are constantly adding more and more offerings and take the utmost care of the property to ensure your wedding day is exquisite.

Photography at Loulou Palm Farm Estate

Having a photographer that knows a venue is more important than you might think! Figuring out the best locations for your newlywed portraits and how to schedule things for the best lighting situations is key. Sometimes your wedding planner doesn’t account for these things when creating your timeline! That’s why I always create a photography timeline with my couples to make sure we schedule their portraits in the best locations and at the best times possible. View some of my recent work here, or if you’d like to chat more about photography you can contact me here. I’d love to hear everything you’re dreaming up!

• Potential Extras: Depending on your vision, you might add valet parking ($300-$500 depending on guest count), shuttle services for larger groups, or upgraded decor. Vendors (like me, your friendly photographer!) are separate, but Loulu Palm’s preferred vendor discounts can save you a bit.
• Big Picture: These venue costs are just one piece of your wedding budget puzzle factor in attire, catering, and that dreamy honeymoon. But with everything Loulu Palm packs into their packages, you’re getting serious bang for your buck.

Having shot tons of weddings at Loulu Palm Farm Estate, I’ve got some tricks up my sleeve to make your photos pop. Here’s what I tell my couples:

• Chase the Golden Hour: That soft, warm light just before sunset? It’s gold at this oceanfront spot. Time your ceremony or portraits here for jaw-dropping shots.
• Swing into Romance: The swing out front isn’t just cute it’s a killer spot for first looks or playful couple pics.
• Wander the Grounds: Don’t settle for one backdrop. The Loulu Palms, beach, and paths offer endless variety take a stroll with your photographer!
• Suite Snaps: The getting ready suites are bright and airy perfect for candid prep shots before the big moment.

How It Stacks Up Against Other North Shore Venues

The North Shore Oahu wedding venues scene is full of stunners, but Loulu Palm holds its own:

• Privacy Edge: No public interruptions here, unlike some beachside spots.
• All-In-One Value: Many venues make you hunt for rentals Loulu Palm doesn’t.
• Unique Beauty: Ocean, mountains, and gardens in one? It’s a rare find.

That said, places like Waimea Valley (botanical charm) or Kualoa Ranch (epic vistas) have their own appeal. It’s all about what vibes with your vision!
