Imagine a wedding day that's actually about you & your partner.
No rules. No strict timelines.
Nowhere to be but by each other's side, enjoying a spectacular experience, exploring somewhere new or somewhere sentimental, with the love of your life.
It might sound like a dream & maybe you already started planning "the big wedding" already...
However, somewhere along the way, it started to feel like you were trying to please everyone but yourselves.
If you've made it this far, I think it's safe to assume you crave adventure and intimacy. If the thought of making new memories together and being completely yourselves gets you excited, then you're in the right place.
"Words truly cannot describe how incredibly talented, personable and genuine Masha is.
You'd be lucky to have her for your wedding."

Keep Your Elopement Intimate and Personal
Kapolei, with its stunning beaches and vibrant landscapes, is a fantastic choice for elopement photography. Here are three essential tips to ensure your elopement photography in Kapolei, Hawaii captures the essence of your special day:
Lighting is crucial for capturing stunning elopement photos. The best time for photography is during the golden hour—just after sunrise or before sunset—when the light is soft and warm. In Kapolei, the sunsets can be spectacular, creating a romantic ambiance perfect for intimate moments. Plan your elopement timing accordingly to take full advantage of this beautiful lighting, ensuring that your photos are as breathtaking as the surroundings.
Kapolei offers a variety of beautiful locations for your elopement photos, from the tranquil lagoons of Ko Olina to the picturesque scenery at Makakilo. Consider what kind of backdrop resonates with you—whether it's the serene beach, lush greenery, or dramatic sunsets. Research different spots ahead of time and discuss them with your photographer to find the perfect setting that reflects your personal style and story.
One of the joys of eloping is the ability to create a personalized, intimate experience. Focus on what truly matters to you as a couple. Consider incorporating personal elements into your ceremony, such as writing your vows, including meaningful symbols, or selecting a special spot that holds significance for both of you. These personal touches will shine through in your photos, making them even more special and reflective of your unique love story.
I would be honored to capture your wedding day on Kapolei or abroad. To inquire about booking or schedule a consultation, simply reach out for more information.
