‘A picture is worth a thousand words.’ This is especially true when it comes to your wedding photography. Long after the memories have faded, you will be able to be brought right back in time to Hawaii, and the moment where you vowed to spend your lives together. You will be able to look at your photographs and relive your ceremony moment-by-moment and recall the feelings of your special day. Our photographers know how to make you look your best and can anticipate the most important moments of your ceremony to ensure your wedding is captured with a clear visual voice honoring your love for each other. They are familiar with the most beautiful wedding locations in Hawaii and have the experience to show you in the best light.
“Taking an image, freezing a moment, reveals how rich reality truly is.”
MEET OUR PHOTOGRAPHERS
Angy Chesler | Founder, Photographer & Cinematographer
Originally from Germany, I spent years traveling the world as a television producer and filmmaker based in Hamburg. After studying photography, I found my passion behind the camera—telling human stories through imagery. Yet, I always carried a dream: to one day live on an island. In 2001, I followed that dream and made Hawaii my home.
Today, I feel incredibly fortunate to do what I love—photographing people in love and creating films that capture the emotion, beauty, and authenticity of their most meaningful moments. My background in television taught me to plan meticulously and think creatively, which naturally evolved into planning and producing intimate, unforgettable wedding experiences. At Beach Glass Weddings, every ceremony is a story told with intention, care, and artistry.
Jonathan Tardros | Photographer, Filmmaker & Wedding Assistant
Jonathan brings a unique blend of artistic talent, rugged experience, and quiet dependability to every wedding he’s part of. A graduate of the Columbus College of Art and Design, his creative journey began with a camera in hand and a deep appreciation for the natural world. His career took him into the forests of the Pacific Northwest and the wild landscapes of Alaska, where he discovered the beauty of documenting life’s moments through photography and film.
For six years, Jonathan split his time between Alaska and Hawaii, always chasing light, adventure, and inspiration. In 2015, he made his home on the Big Island near Kealakekua Bay. At Beach Glass Weddings, he’s a true team player—whether he’s capturing behind-the-scenes moments, filming with a second camera, or setting up the wedding arch. When he’s not at a wedding, you’ll find him working in the landscape of Hawaii or training for the Ironman Triathlon.
