oahu elopement

Elopements will always be our favorite thing to photograph. There is nothing better than spending time with couples on their wedding day and taking them to some of our favorite places. Marissa + Brandon are high school sweet hearts and after 12+ years together they decided to elope in Hawaii with us. Brad married them at Makapu’u Beach where they exchanged vows and rings. Marissa + Brandon knew that eloping was something they both really wanted to do and said that it feels very “us.” You know that feeling you get when you meet someone for the first time and feel like you’ve known them forever? That’s exactly how it felt with these two. Feels like we’ve known them forever and what a freakin honor it was to document their love and get to hang out with them all day. No rules, no timeline, just being in the moment. We will never take what we do for granted <3
