"Winter Milky Way, Mauna Kea" Featured in Hawaiian Airlines Magazine Hana Hou January 2025 /  by Ethan Tweedie

My "Winter Milky Way, Mauna Kea" image was featured in Hawaiian Airlines Magazine, Hana Hou! You can see the whole magazine here on ISSUU

This image was originally taken on a very cold and snowy evening in January 2014 on the summit of Mauna Kea at close to 14,000 feet above sea level on the Big Island of Hawaii. Mauna Kea is a dormant volcano that rises above the atmosphere to make viewing of the night sky a spectacular site to behold. There are over a dozen Observatories on the summit including the W.M Keck Observatory who hired me several times to capture images for them.

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.

63rd Annual Waimea Twilight Christmas Parade!! | Big Island | Hawaii /  by Ethan Tweedie

The 63rd Annual Waimea Twilight Christmas Parade was nothing short of spectacular! Held on a perfect evening in December 2023, this cherished event brought the community together to celebrate the holiday season with an unforgettable display of lights, music, and festive spirit.

One of the highlights of the parade was, without a doubt, the Truckers’ participation. These local heroes truly went all out, transforming their trucks into rolling works of art with extravagant holiday decorations that dazzled the crowd. The creativity and effort that went into each vehicle’s design were truly awe-inspiring, making it clear why they’re the parade’s main attraction.

This year’s parade in Waimea, located on the Big Island of Hawaii, showcased the island’s close-knit community spirit and the unique charm of small-town Christmas celebrations. The streets were filled with the sights and sounds of Christmas as families, friends, and visitors gathered to enjoy the festivities.

I had the pleasure of capturing the beauty of this event through my lens, and I’m excited to share some of the images from the night. From the twinkling lights of the decorated trucks to the joyful expressions of parade-goers, these photos capture the essence of what makes Waimea's Christmas parade so special.

As a photographer specializing in luxury real estate, architectural photography, and luxury hotels and resorts, I don’t often get the chance to photograph local events like this one. However, the opportunity to capture the warmth and energy of a community tradition was a reminder of the magic that makes the Big Island so unique.

Whether it's for luxury properties, architectural design, or special events, I’d be honored to help bring your vision to life.
