(A day just for us)

We’re more than your photographer- we design a bespoke elopement experience that feels effortless, intimate, and entirely you.

He La No Kaua

Your elopement is an investment in what matters most.

Imagine exchanging vows as the sun dips below the horizon aboard a private sailboat, the sea mist kissing your skin, whales gliding across the water, or standing hand-in-hand on dramatic ocean cliffs, waves crashing below, the wind moving through your hair. Picture a barefoot ceremony on a white sand beach with palm trees swaying above, or arriving by helicopter to a remote, awe-inspiring location that feels like it was made just for the two of you. Every detail is thoughtfully curated, from location and timing to aesthetic and atmosphere, so that you can feel fully present in a day that is effortless, elevated, and entirely your own.

What is an elopement? 

An elopement is a wedding experience designed around exactly what you want- intimate, meaningful, and intentionally unbound by tradition. It’s the most unforgettable day, crafted exactly how you envision it. Whether it’s just the two of you or a few loved ones, it’s about celebrating your day, your way.

Featuring Tropical 

You're choosing Hawaii for its breathtaking beauty, and that decision will shine through in your elopement photos in the most spectacular way.

We focus on featuring the landscape, ocean, tropical greenery, as well as the elegant architecture and ambiance of private venues that make your day feel uniquely Hawaiian. Whether it’s the golden glow of the sunset on the beach, the lush greens of tropical foliage, or the dramatic mountains, your photos will reflect both your love and the place that made it unforgettable.

Hawaii

Our Signature Style

inspired by Hawaiiana & film photography, our signature style is refined and natural yet has a hint of nostalgic romance.

The era of Hawaiiana, with its dreamy allure and effortless style, inspires our work- echoes of ukulele melodies, salt in the air, and the kind of slow, sun-soaked days that live on in memory. Our photography brings that spirit to life with a look that’s playful, flirty, romantic, and editorial. It’s a blend of nostalgia and classic elegance, designed to be timeless and cherished for a lifetime.

The Aloha Experience

our approach is rooted in kindness, connection, and respect while celebrating the rich culture of Hawai‘i.

Guided by the spirit of Aloha, our approach is rooted in kindness, connection, and respect for the land and culture. We believe in creating a space where you feel completely at ease so that the time we share is not only joyful and true to who you are, but also meaningful in a way that honors the spirit of Aloha.

Legacy Elopement Albums

An elopement album is more than a keepsake- it becomes a family heirloom, passed down through generations. Thoughtfully printed and beautifully bound, it’s the most enduring way to preserve your photos and the most meaningful way to relive your day with the people you love.

Your Elopement album includes

Archival inks
Premium inks so your photos retain their vibrant, accurate colors, and are fade resistant over time.

Fine art paper
Thick paper and pages ensure your book is durable and will last.

Custom design from start to finish
We create and design your album so that it beautifully displays the story of your day, from the stunning setting and heartfelt exchanges to the laugher shared and the love surrounding you.

Personalized cover
Choose from a variety of cover options in book cloth, premium leather, full grain leather, eco leather, or velvet. All covers include your name and date with stamped lettering on the cover.

Layflat pages
When you open the book it will “lay flat” meaning the photos flow seamlessly from the left to the right side of the book. Allow your photos to take center stage.

“AMAZING EXPERIENCE AND PHOTOS!!!! My fiancé and I had never had pictures taken of us before, and we both were worried we would be/look weird, but Tara did such a great job making the photo session fun, and allowing us to be ourselves all while somehow taking beautiful pictures. When we got them back we were just shocked at how great they were."

-Logan T.

“Tara was PHENOMENAL! From helping plan an elopement and even giving us things to do on the island/ places to visit. Throughout the entire process, Tara was kind and unbelievably helpful with her eagerness to answer any questions. The elopement was stress free thanks to her expertise. The icing on the cake was that pictures came out BEAUTIFULLY! would recommend her over and over again!

-Dayana D. 

“Tara was incredible! From the very start, we knew we picked the best photographer. She was extremely helpful and professional in our entire planning process from the get go. She was a great communicator in the months leading up to our big day, which put our minds at ease. The photos she took were PERFECT! She captured everything we could have possibly wanted and more!"
