Ke‘olu Golf Course Photography | Four Seasons Hualalai | Hawaii / May 13, 2024 by Ethan Tweedie

The Hualalai Resort recently hired me to photograph their newly renovated Private Members Only Ke’olu Golf Course using Drone Aerial Photography. For 5 days in a row we started our day at Sunrise and captured 3 to 4 Holes each morning ending the day by 8am as to capture the best light on each Hole.

The renovation took two years and is the first since the Tom Weiskopf course debuted in 2002. The Golf Course’s major changes were converting the Bermuda grass to Paspalum. “The Paspalum grass is more salt tolerant and has a brilliant emerald green appearance” says Dan Husek Director of Golf Course Maintenance.

It was truly an honor to have the privilege of capturing this magnificent golf course in its best light.

Luxury Hotel Photography | Halekulani and Halepuna | Waikiki | Oahu / May 9, 2024 by Ethan Tweedie

Some highlights from our photoshoot at the Halekulani and Halepuna, both hotels went through some renovations and the client needed to update a few of the room images and capture some images of the Lobby at Halepuna.

Halekulani is one of the first and finest hotels in Hawaii and sits right on the beach in the heart of Waikiki. The name Halekulani means “House Befitting Heaven” and it's the quintessential Hawaii experience with amazing personal service with sunsets and dining on the ocean each evening.

Across the street from Halekulani is Halepuna, “it is the finest upscale boutique hotel in Waikiki and was named top hotel in Hawaii by CNN Travel four years in a row."

I hope you enjoy the images as much as we enjoyed shooting for our client and experiencing the hotel's offerings.

The main goal of the three day photoshoot was to capture the unforgettable ocean views from several of the Hotel’s Rooms and Suites.

Mauna Loa Eruption Images November 29th 2022 / November 29, 2022 by Ethan Tweedie

Day 2 of the Mauna Loa Eruption. These images were taken in the early morning hours off the Saddle Road on the Big Island of Hawaii. This is the first time Mauna Loa has erupted in 38 years. I was a junior in High School in 1984 the last time I witnessed the World’s Largest Active Volcano! If you’d like to see some live video I did while filming this Timelapse head over to my Instagram and give me a follow!

Enjoy!
