What I loved about Mar was her ability to make me feel comfortable in front of the camera. Because of this she was able to capture the true essence of my husband and I on our wedding day. I am so grateful that she had an opening on our wedding day! Her photos aren't just moments in time, but memories that feel fresh each time we look at them. Mahalo Nui Mar! You are amazing!

What’s the Process?
🪄 Firstly — You have 100% permission to be fully yourself.
1—Let’s connect (for real)
I want to know what you can’t wait to experience on your wedding day, to hear more about your love story, and really get to know YOU and what’s important to you.
Then we can know for sure if we are the right fit and say YES with excitement!
2—Reserve your date
with a 40% deposit
After we’ve hit it off, I’ll send you a contract with deposit information so we are all on the same page—Now it’s time to make your dream actually happen :)
3—*Dream Loading*
I’ll send you a timeline to look at and edit, vendors that I think align with your needs and vibe, and suggestions on how your vision can best come to life. I’m here to offer a judgment-free space, guide you through plan-making, and free you to be yourself. Whatever I can do to help, don’t hesitate to ask!
We’ll be in touch via email/text throughout the process, and next…
4—Get married & ENJOY!
Everything has been dreamed, planned, and booked.
Now it’s just time to enjoy your wedding day and celebrate your unique magic~
5—Memories unlocked
You’ll get sneak peeks from me within 48 hours, a slideshow within 30 days, your full gallery and video within 10 weeks.
Look back on the story of you in every medium!
6—I’m rooting for you!
Though your wedding day is over, I am always rooting for you. Let’s keep in touch and I’m always down to get coffee if we are in the same place!!
Frequently Asked Questions

Hawai'i is a unique and beautiful place, and it's our job to steward it well. I'll be right by your side to guide you in cultural understanding, mālama ka ʻāina, and eloping ethically in the most beautiful place in the world. :)
there is a lot that goes into planning a destination elopement, so I'm here to help you with everything you need before you get here. when you arrive, all you’ll need to do is focus on being present and letting the world wash away in the face of your love.
if you want to start right away, check out my quick guide to eloping in Hawai’i!

I can't promise any dates unless you reach out and ask, so I would reach out as soon as you know your dates or potential dates. Sometimes elopements can be a quick decision, and I totally get it--so even if you think it might be too late, please give me a call and let's see if we can create together!
-
don't worry, all I ask of you is for you to be fully present with your lover and focus on all of the steamy magic between you. after all, the secret sauce? it's all in you. I'll just help tease it out. It's going to be incredible.
If you've come this far, it's clear we're already on the same page and it's going to be SO easy to just forget I'm there, let go of expectation, and focus on your one wild life!
if you still aren't sure how that works, check out this blog post for my formula for magical, effortless photos.

weddings:
lesser-known fact: I actually shoot a lot of weddings with/for other photographers and have been shooting large weddings for 8+ years! I am very excited & comfortable with weddings under 100 people. my biggest passion is elopements because of the natural focus on the couple (you!) and what you want vs what people want for you… For that reason, I call myself an elopement photographer. but if you vibe with me & are having a more traditional wedding, please reach out! I would love to see if we are a good match 💛
