Capturing Luxury: A Photoshoot with Four Seasons Oahu /  by Ethan Tweedie

Few locations blend natural beauty, luxury, and hospitality as seamlessly as the Four Seasons Resort Oahu at Ko Olina. I recently had the privilege of photographing two key areas of this stunning property: Hokulea, the resort’s elegant coffee bar and lounge, and the Four Seasons Fitness Centre.

Hokulea: Photographing A Scenic Coffee Lounge

Hokulea offers guests an indoor outdoor space with ocean views and a relaxed atmosphere. Our goal for this shoot was to highlight the natural light and inviting ambiance that make it a favorite spot. The morning sunlight streaming through the lounge’s open design provided a beautiful setting for capturing the indoor and outdoor spaces. 

Photographing The Four Seasons Fitness Centre: A Sanctuary for Wellness

The Four Seasons Oahu Fitness Centre is designed for guests who want to maintain their health and well-being while traveling. Equipped with modern machines and open workout spaces, it provides a premium fitness experience.

For this shoot, we focused on capturing how natural light enhances the space, making it feel open and energizing. The large windows with amazing ocean and tropical views and thoughtful layout create an environment that encourages movement and relaxation.

Reflections on the Shoot

Shooting for the Four Seasons is always a rewarding experience. The team at Ko Olina is so fun and professional to work with, they have expertly created a destination that balances luxury and relaxation, and we aimed to reflect that in our imagery.  Mahalo Four Seasons Oahu!

Ke‘olu Golf Course Photography | Four Seasons Hualalai | Hawaii /  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 /  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.
