From our very first meeting, she showed nothing but the utmost professionalism. She took the time to truly understand us as a couple and what our ideal wedding day looked like. She then cultivated a timeline that was uniquely tailored to us.
We cannot thank her enough for the extraordinary job she did. Masha exceed our expectations. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer to capture our elopement and the magic that ensued on that day.

The word gets thrown around a lot these days...an elopement is an intentionally small, authentic celebration of love where the focus of the day is on each other. Without the distractions of large groups and traditions, you can truly enjoy your time together. It can be just the two of you or a handful of guests, the choice is yours.
Around here, you've got options! That means you do what you whether that’s a short hike or an all-day adventure from sunrise to sunset, a waterfall or a brewery. I truly believe in customizing every experience. Ask me anything throughout your planning process—I'm here to help every step of the way. And trust me, I give you alllll the resources.
So whether your idea of a perfect wedding is catching sunrise on a mountain top, hearing the waves crash on a beautiful beach, heading to a cascading waterfall, or just cuddling up at your favorite hang-out spot, there truly is no right or wrong way to elope. Whatever your definition of ‘adventure’ looks like, as your Hawaii elopement photographer, I'm here for it.
On that note, because eloping essentially throws out the wedding planning rulebook, the possibilities are endless. No two couples are the same, and no two elopements are the same either. All that freedom might be a little intimidating...& I'm here to help every step of the way.
INQUIRE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE PROCESS
My booking process is simple. After we hop on a discovery call and curate your customized elopement collections, I'll send out your proposal. It's just a signed contract and 30% retainer to officially book your date. After that I'll send all your resources and we begin planning!
Only if you want to! After our extensive planning process, we'll figure out how much activity you'd *actually* like for your elopement. There are lots of activities and locations that require minimal, if any, hiking.
My elopement planning process is quite EXTENSIVE. I send out a detailed elopement guide, a customized questionnaire and a TON of resources. We work together to decide on the perfect location for your love story.
The short answer: a LOT. I provide guides, questionnaires, emails, and resources. Not to mention we have 3 zoom calls over the course of the time leading up to your elopement AND I create your customized photography timeline and do all your permit research. Pretty much the only thing I DON'T do is book any travel, accommodations or vendors.
I use the term elopement broadly—some of my couples get married just the two of them, but others bring along family and friends.
Somewhere around 15 people or so, the logistical planning becomes pretty complicated and you're essentially planning a wedding so for anything more than that. Once you add too many guests, you will definitely be shifting the focus away from your adventure together and into catering to other people. And that's totally ok! But just wanted to make you aware!
If, Heaven forbid, I am too ill or injured or otherwise can't make the elopement, I will find another incredible photographer for you with a similar style and experience level and will edit all the photos to ensure they align with my brand; if for some reason I can't find someone (highly unlikely, I have very talented photographer associates) I will refund all payments, including the retainer. I've never had to do this yet *knock on wood*.
