Kyle + Betsy // Wedding Pioneer Hawaiian Elopement Giveaway

So about a year ago Kyle (my Kyle) had a cool idea that has since turned into a full fledged business and marketing platform for photographers and wedding pros all over the country (and even in Canada). Have you heard of Wedding Pioneer?? If the idea of a non-traditional wedding appeals to you go check it out right now! Anyway, as our following started growing we decide to do a massive giveaway and provide an expenses paid trip to Hawaii for one lucky couple to elope. It felt like absolute fate that these two won, because, ugh... we just fell in love with them and couldn't have imagined a more perfect, special, beautiful, wonderful, adventure-filled day! What made the day even more incredible for us is that our own elopement happened a stone's throw away from this gorgeous sunflower farm on Waimanalo Beach. It was the BEST getting to revisit some of our favorite spots around Oahu with Kyle and Betsy. Oh how I wish they lived closer now that we're friends! The hugest thank you goes out to the other incredible vendors who donated their time and talent to make this day such a success!

Embracing Serendipity: A Journey from 2015 to 2023

As we revisit this unforgettable story in 2023, we can't help but marvel at the serendipitous journey that brought us these two incredible friends. In this digital age, the internet continues to amaze us in unexpected ways. Drew, now a dear friend, stumbled upon our work while exploring Pinterest (perhaps for the first time ever) from the lush jungles of Peru, where he and Emily's love story began.

From the very first email exchange, it was evident that we had found our kindred spirits! We arranged an engagement session during their visit to St. Louis, and the bond was instant. Last month, we had the joy of reuniting with them in Southern California to celebrate their wedding day. Little did we know that this beautiful connection would grow even stronger - they now live just 10 minutes away from us!

One of the most rewarding aspects of our profession is the lasting friendships we forge along the way. Our hearts swell with gratitude for every couple who has entrusted us to share their love story.

Justin + Whitney // Scenic Kauai Elopement on the North Shore

Guys, we did it!!! We finally shot a wedding in Kauai!!!!! Yes, it was 4 months ago but the excitement hasn't worn off. We're still in awe of this day and the beauty and love we were surrounded by. Whitney and Justin chose to do things our absolute favorite way: completely relaxed and casual with almost zero planning or stressing out. We literally met up with them the day before, showed them some of our favorite spots around the North Shore and they picked one. Easy peasy. Having only a few family members by their sides and Justin's dad officiating meant there was even less to coordinate. After their short and simple ceremony we meandered through the jungle, hiked to a secret beach, and stopped at Hanalei Pier for some epic golden hour photos. This elopement was pure Hawaii magic and our love for these two beautiful people knows no bounds since they chose our favorite place on Earth to say "I do"!
