GRAND WAILEA, A WOLDORF ASTORIA RESORT

This stunning paradise located on the coast of Maui was an absolute pleasure to photograph! Upon arrival, you’re greeted with views of waterfalls, palm trees, and the absolute most gorgeous estate. You receive a fresh Hawaiian orchid lei before check-in and are kindly escorted to the front desk. The front desk features massive windows showcasing the grounds. After numerous selfies and a moment to recover from shock – it was time to get to work!

“This project was a huge learning experience for me as an architectural photographer. I really enjoyed the opportunity to step out of my normal photography routine to capture this unique property, and it was a huge honor to be asked to do so.” –Carlie Tackert, ATH Photographer

ATH started by exploring the grounds and the beach. Afterward meeting up with the designated property contacts. The shot list ranged from pools, waterslides to stunning balcony views, with literally everything in between.

The Grand Wailea Resort encompasses 776 luxury guestrooms, overlooking the most beautiful coast on Maui. Featuring grand views, upscale Hawaiian décor this property is a fantasy mega-resort to say the least.

KONA BEACH HOTEL

After two eventful days in Maui, ATH hops to The Big Island! Flying via prop plane, for the first time ever made this Hawaii Resort Photography project bucket-list worthy!

Once arriving, the anticipation to start photographing set in right away! Beginning with meeting spaces. ATH worked their way through over 20,000 sq ft of in-door event space, show casing every set up imaginable. The Kona team did a fantastic job choosing the arrangements for staging. They brought so much life and color to the already lush property.

I greatly appreciated the sales team input on the messages they wanted to convey in their images. Communication truly makes the difference, and no doubt help set this photography shoot up for success.” –Kelly Tackert, CEO

As if this photography project needed more excitement, the ATH team experienced an unforgettable luau followed by the 200th anniversary of the great King Kamehameha passing.
