Hawaiʻi is more than a destination.

The atmosphere, the people, and the land are why getting married in Hawaiʻi is so special!

This is also why it is important to come to Hawaiʻi with honour, heart, and respect.

Hawaiʻi is a people, a culture, a kingdom—we’re all guests here in a space kānaka maoli (native Hawaiians) are sharing with us.

As I guide you through the elopement process, my top priorities are telling your story + treating the land and people of Hawaiʻi with aloha (love, honour, thoughtfulness).

I’m happy to help answer any questions you might have. I do my best to advocate on the land and peoples’ behalf as we love and dance on Hawaiʻi’s shores.

“If you were looking for a sign that you found the right person, this is your sign—do it.

She will create an atmosphere of

safety, excitement,

and celebration.

Trust me, you will not regret trusting

her to beautifully capture who you are

+ to celebrate you.”

Your love is welcome with me, whatever it manifests as.

It is always my goal to make you feel fully yourself and fully seen—I know that feeling comfortable in front of the camera is hard for everyone, especially so when you are not sure you are absolutely safe.

So I want to make it known:

I am in your corner, ready and so excited to celebrate the unique magic of you 💛

I’m always trying new things… 2024 was the year of video, 2026 is the year of film photography!

Film is now included in all wedding + elopement packages! There’s something different about film - Capture the special way you love on physical media. From 35mm to polaroids, I’ll bring something unique and special to your beautiful day to capture the memories perfectly.

Plus, get your day captured in motion by adding in a video that is short & sweet, easy to watch & share with family and friends, laid back & chill.

Work with mar!
