Unforgettable Kualoa Ranch
Wedding Photography & Videography by Jenna Lee Pictures & theTRIBEphoto

At Jenna Lee Pictures and theTRIBEphoto, we’re all about creating wedding imagery that hits you right in the feels — the kind of photos and films that make you laugh, cry, and say, “OH MY GOD, this is SO us.”

If you're getting married at Kualoa Ranch, specifically Paliku Gardens (aka the MAIN spot they're currently allowing for weddings), you’re about to say “I do” in one of the most jaw-droppingly beautiful places on the planet — think: sacred land, sweeping jungle views, and those wild green mountains that look like they were made for your love story.

We don’t do cookie-cutter coverage — ever. Every wedding is a unique work of art, and we treat it that way. We don’t edit to fit a mold. We don’t put you in stiff poses. We tune in to the vibe of your day — the energy, the connection, the light — and we create photography and wedding films that are authentic, cinematic, emotional, and uniquely YOU.

From wide, epic shots that showcase all the Paliku magic (yes, including those Jurassic Park-worthy backdrops), to those sweet little in-between moments — grandma’s hand squeeze, your partner’s look when they see you, the wildflower stuck in your bouquet — we’re there to capture it all, without ever making it feel staged.

We guide you only when you need it (because not everyone’s a model, and that’s totally okay), but we mostly just help the magic unfold naturally, in a way that feels easy, fun, and so real. Whether you're booking just photography, going full-out with photo + cinematic videography, or anything in between — we’ve got you.

So if you’re dreaming of a Kualoa Ranch wedding that’s more adventure, less awkward posing… more emotion, less fluff… and filled with imagery that actually feels like you — you’re in the right place.

No, seriously we've shot over 100 weddings at Kualoa Ranch and our ENTIRE team knows the venue inside and out! WE GOT YOU! We know every inch of Kualoa Ranch — from the lush greenery of Paliku Gardens to the dramatic cliffs at the Jumanji site. We don’t just shoot here — we understand the light, weather, and layout of each space to maximize every shot.

But beyond just knowing the venue — we’re ready for anything. We roll deep with backup gear, shoot to multiple memory cards, and stay cool no matter what the day throws at us. Rain? Let’s go! We’ve wiped down ceremony chairs minutes before guests arrived and captured couples dancing barefoot in the rain like it was straight out of a movie.

Timeline delays? We’ve stepped in to help without skipping a beat — giving rides to couples, lending shoes to barefoot brides, passing out water and snacks, and keeping the vibe flowing.

Whatever wild thing comes up — we’ve likely seen it, solved it, and helped keep the magic alive. Our experience isn’t just technical — it’s full-on ride or die energy, here to make sure your day is smooth, unforgettable, and pure magic.
