YOUR LANAI ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER
The island of Lanai is actually one of my favorites despite it’s tiny size and even more remote feel than some of the other islands. Being a Lanai elopement photographer specializing in adventurous elopements on the island is so special to me! I create unique elopement days that allow couples to have an absolute blast while soaking up the natural beauty of this island. I document these wild elopements with authenticity and heart.
I live here in the islands with my little family; a corgi pup named Maebel, two parrots Hunter + Finnley, and my husband Brent. We’ve definitely embraced island life, spending our free time hiking, snorkeling, and getting in the ocean any chance we get! I’m a pretty easy going person and have a knack for helping others to feel comfortable. It’s part of what my couples say makes it so effortless to have me there capturing their elopement day.
I connected with Lanai the moment I stepped off the plane onto this unique island. I really love to share it with others, playing tour guide as a part of elopements. I craft honest adventures that are anything but common here on Kauai. Curious?
