Christie Pham Photography

The Editorial Take

Christie Pham and Matt Hughes met at sunset on Waikīkī Beach, she from Vietnam by way of California and he from Ireland, and the husband and wife team they built has become one of the longest-tenured operations in Honolulu, with happy client reviews stretching back well over a decade. The style is bright, airy, and photojournalistic: light-filled frames, true colors, and a preference for moments over heavy staging. They are fixtures at the island's marquee properties, including the Kahala, the Royal Hawaiian, and Kualoa Ranch, and they carry the easy calm of people who have worked those rooms many times. Couples planning classic hotel and resort weddings who want polished, joyful coverage from a team that families instantly relax around will find them an easy choice.
