We are getting married next June in Hawaii, near a waterfall. I have to assume the terrain is going to be somewhat jungley? lol. 
Also we plan to take a few photos out on the beach and around the island. I'm guessing I will only be in full wedding attire for about 3-4 hours max.
What do you think would work well? I would love to incorporate some form of heel as my fiance is over a foot taller than me!

    A wedged sandal would be your best bet.  But I would keep the height of the wedge on the lower side. The last thing you want to do is to twist your ankle as you are walking down the uneven aisle.

    You look fabulous in your dress by the way!

    I second a wedge (I wore a wedge for my wedding).

    Third the wedge.  I wore wedge for my outdoor wedding and was comfy all the way to the after party.  Don't think wedge means cheap foam flip flops.  There are lots of pretty designer wedges you can wear again after (don't pick white satin!)  I wore pewter colored Gucci wedges that now I can wear out.

    Definitely wedge. I wore nude patent wedge sandals with an ankle strap, nice and secure... even though my wedding ended up inside.

    Another vote for wedge with ankle strap. You'll feel safe walking on uneven surfaces and when you hit beach, you can just ditch the shoes if you want.

    I haven't found anything that would work well and that I would use again. Besides going to another wedding anyhow.

    Because your dress is long, you an get away with many different, or even less formal styles. No one will see your shoes anyway. Of those two, I'd go with the ankle strap one because I'd be afraid fo stepping out of them on rocks/sand/uneven ground. I like this one too (link)

    wedge but i would be careful on the height you dont want to twist your ankle. if anything maybe go with a flat or something to be safe.
