For Dani and Wilfred, photos weren’t enough. They believed video could capture memories, emotions, and fleeting details in a way nothing else could. As Dani shared, “videos can capture memories and feelings better than just photos can!”
That’s exactly why they chose us to film their Holualoa Inn Wedding—to not just document their day, but to tell their love story through cinematic storytelling. As a Holualoa Inn wedding videographer, I strive to create films that not only look beautiful but also reflect each couple’s true essence.
When asked why they chose us, Dani and Wilfred said: “We felt like your videos were very cinematic but also captured the essence of each couple.”
That’s the heart of what we do as wedding videographers in Hawaii—crafting wedding films that feel both cinematic and deeply personal. Every glance, laugh, and quiet moment becomes part of a story worth reliving.
Dani and Wilfred are both medical residents—Dani in dermatology and Wilfred in radiology. Between busy clinic days and long hours in the reading room, they’ve built a life centered on meaningful, simple joys:
Dani’s joys – yoga, walks, workout classes, coffee dates, and enjoying good food and drinks with friends.
Wilfred’s passions – cooking (his love language), coffee brewing, gardening, wine, bourbon, and ocean activities.
At their core, what matters most to them is sharing experiences—whether exploring Barcelona, enjoying a lazy morning coffee, or gathering with friends for laughter-filled nights.
Their proposal unfolded like a scene straight out of a film—fitting for a couple who values cinematic storytelling.
During a trip to Santa Barbara with Dani’s mom, Wilfred planned a day full of surprises: coffee at their favorite spot, sausages and beer in Solvang, a visit to an ostrich farm, and finally, a sunset walk on the beach.
Dani recalls saying, “Wow, this view is like a movie.” That’s when Wilfred replied, “Do you know what else is like a movie?” before pulling out the ring.
Overcome with shock and laughter, Dani eventually said “yes,” making it a moment that truly felt cinematic—exactly the kind of story that inspired their wedding film at Holualoa Inn Kona.
Dani and Wilfred had one vision in mind: a venue that showcased the natural beauty of Hawaii without the typical ballroom feel.
They wanted sweeping views of the ocean and mountains, a setting that allowed them and their guests to be immersed in nature, and a place that felt authentic to their love story.
That’s when they found Holualoa Inn in Kona, a hidden gem they had discovered years prior during a staycation search. With its lush grounds, breathtaking views, and intimate charm, Holualoa Inn offered everything they dreamed of—and more.
As their chosen wedding videographer in Hawaii, filming at Holualoa Inn was an absolute dream. Every frame was filled with tropical elegance and emotional depth, creating the perfect backdrop for their story.
