To Diamond Head (bride)

Aloha sunset finale for the bride

This is the final challenge! Take an amazing closing group photo where the bride wears a full bachelorette accessory set (sash, veil, lei) with a Honolulu sunset backdrop (Waikiki at golden hour, Diamond Head silhouetted, Sunset Beach in the distance). Mahalo, photo for the wedding slideshow!

Aloha Tower bridal backdrop

The Aloha Tower has greeted ships into Honolulu Harbor since 1926. Find a vantage point on the harbour side, take a group photo with the bride centred and the tower behind everyone.

Diamond Head summit bridal shot

The summit of Diamond Head gives you the postcard view: Waikiki coast, crater behind you, Pacific on every side. Hike to the top and take a group photo with the bride centred and Waikiki spread out below. Sunrise tickets make this the photo of the trip.

Duke Kahanamoku bridal pose

Duke Kahanamoku is the father of modern surfing. Find the bronze statue draped in leis on the beach and take a group photo with the bride centred, the team matching the outstretched-arm pose.

Hawaiian plate for the bride

Order a Hawaiian classic (a plate lunch with kalua pork, a poke bowl, garlic shrimp from Giovanni's) and take a group photo with the bride centred, everyone taking the first bite at the same time.

Honolulu bride lift

The party begins! Take a group photo where the bride is triumphantly lifted up by the team with a Honolulu backdrop (a palm against blue sky, a surfboard, Diamond Head in the distance). Higher and louder, this is your opening shot!

Iolani Palace bridal portrait

Iolani Palace is the only royal palace on American soil. Find the front facade, line the team up with the bride centred and take a group photo with the palace behind everyone.

Lei welcome bridal portrait

A fresh flower lei is the classic Hawaii greeting. Buy a lei for the bride from a local florist or stand and take a group photo with the bride being draped in flowers by the team.

Local Honoluluan bridal tip

Convince a local Honolulu resident to share one favourite beach, restaurant or bachelorette tip. Take a photo with your impromptu guide and the bride, remember the tip. Bonus points if they offer the shaka.

Luau dance for the bride

Book or crash a luau (Paradise Cove, Diamond Head Luau, Royal Hawaiian's Aha Aina). At the luau, get the bride on the dance floor with a hula dancer and capture a group photo or short video of the team dancing with her.

Mai tai toast for the bride

Mai tais are Hawaii's signature cocktail. Find a rooftop or beach bar (House Without a Key, RumFire, Duke's Waikiki) and order a round. Take a group photo with the bride leading the toast, every glass with a lime wedge in shot.

Recreate the bride's wildest moment (Honolulu)

Everyone knows that one legendary night out. Imitate the bride at her most wild moment ever. One person plays her, the rest directs, capture it in a photo or short video. Best impression wins.

Shave ice bridal toast

Hawaiian shave ice is fluffier than American snowcones and drenched in tropical syrups. Find a shop, order a rainbow cup each and take a group photo with everyone, including the bride, taking the first bite at the same time.

Rideshare to downtown Honolulu and check in at Iolani Palace on King Street with the bride.

Waikiki is one of the world's most famous longboard breaks. Find the surfers in the shallow water (or a board on the beach) and take a group photo with the bride centred, the surfers and Diamond Head behind on the horizon.

White for the bride in Honolulu

The bride is the star today. Make sure everyone in the team wears or holds something white, find a beach, a palm or a banyan tree, and take a group photo where the bride stands out in the centre.
