Long story short, my fiance and I decided to have a DW on Oahu. It will be quite intimate (12 people in total), since we are pretty introverted people who have small families. Because of that, one of those people going will officiate the ceremony.
These are my questions:
1. Does anyone know anything about residents of Michigan becoming an officiate for a ceremony in Hawaii? If they are officiated in Michigan, does it "count" in Hawaii?
2. Are there places to have literally just a ceremony? I know a lot of resorts offer packages, but we don't need the reception portion of it. Are they often flexible when it comes to that?
3. I'm also browsing for a photographer. Any recommendations?
It's somewhat early in the planning/finalization of this idea, so answers to these questions are going to inform how I continue from where I am currently. I appreciate the help and knowledge of anyone who may have done this or who happens to live there.
