Beach Glass Weddings is a team of experienced professionals with decades of expertise thoughtfully planning and creating beautiful wedding ceremonies and elopements.
Founded in 2003 out of a deep love for Hawaiʻi—its people, land, and culture—we created a boutique wedding studio dedicated to custom destination weddings, elopements, proposals, and vow renewals. Over the years, we have collaborated with thousands of couples from around the world, guiding them through an effortless planning process and creating celebrations that feel personal, intentional, and deeply meaningful.
Beach Glass Weddings welcomes couples of all races, genders, abilities, countries of origin, sexual orientations, and belief systems.
OHANA (family): One team, one vision. Beach Glass Weddings is a close-knit team of experienced professionals who work together regularly — planners, photographers, cinematographers, officiants, florists, hair stylists, and more. Because we know each other’s rhythms and roles, your wedding day unfolds seamlessly, without miscommunication or handoffs. The result is a calm, well-orchestrated experience where every detail and every moment is thoughtfully planned and beautifully captured.
AINA (land): Hawaii is our home. We know the island’s microclimates, terrain, light, and changing conditions in ways that only come from years of local experience. We consider all of these elements when helping you choose the setting that best fits your wedding or elopement.
We do not hand you a list of unfamiliar vendors and leave you to coordinate the details yourself. We bring together trusted local professionals and manage every element of your celebration, allowing you to be fully present and enjoy the experience. Whenever possible, we also choose local resources and businesses that support our island community.
Beach Glass Weddings brings together thoughtful, detail-oriented planning with decades of experience in professional photography and cinematography. This integrated approach allows us to create celebrations that are beautifully designed, seamlessly coordinated, and documented with intention.
Our owner, Angy Chesler, is an award-winning photographer who oversees the creative direction of the photography and cinematography for every wedding, elopement, and proposal.
We understand that the photographs and films from your destination wedding or elopement become part of your story long after the day itself has passed. Our goal is to create imagery that allows you to return to those moments for years to come.
A shared appreciation for meaningful experiences, genuine connection, and artfully captured moments guides everything we create.
Here are a few of the distinctive wedding and elopement experiences we have created for our couples. Each one was thoughtfully designed around the setting, the couple, and the way they wanted their day to feel.
Your celebration can be just as personal. Together, we can create an experience that feels entirely your own.
Imagine, you and your love getting whisked away by helicopter- flying together through paradise on your way to a remote fantasy wedding location….

‘A picture is worth a thousand words.’ This is especially true when it comes to your wedding photography. Long after the memories have faded, you will be able to be brought right back in time to Hawaii, and the moment where you vowed to spend your lives together. You will be able to look at your photographs and relive your ceremony moment-by-moment and recall the feelings of your special day. Our photographers know how to make you look your best and can anticipate the most important moments of your ceremony to ensure your wedding is captured with a clear visual voice honoring your love for each other. They are familiar with the most beautiful wedding locations in Hawaii and have the experience to show you in the best light.
If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a video can tell the whole story. Our cinematic videography allows you to go back in time long after the memories have faded. Whether it’s the citing of your wedding vows, the captivating scenery or those special unexpected moments, it’s all there preserved for generations to come. Our popular highlight movies show the best of your wedding in a creative music video style that you can easily share online with loved ones. A wedding movie is the perfect keepsake as it tells the whole story of this most auspicious day. By combining photos, video and aerial footage, we are able to truly capture every facet of your special day.
