Danny & Olivia | A Beach Elopement | Big Island

Danny and Olivia's love story started with a 1969 Camaro. What began as friendship over a shared love of classic cars slowly grew into something more — built on years of road trips, shared adventures, and a deep connection to Hawaiʻi Island. So when it came time to say "I do," there was only one place that felt right.

They kept it simple: just the two of them, their parents, and the ocean.

The Hawaiian Wedding Ceremony

With only four guests — their parents — Danny and Olivia chose a phone-free ceremony at the Big Island Beach. No screens, no distractions. Just two families, standing together on the sand, fully present for the moment. Officiant Tom led a short, heartfelt ceremony that felt intimate and unhurried.

After the "I do's," we took a handful of family portraits before Danny and Olivia headed off on their own to soak in the rest of the afternoon together. Golden hour on the Kohala coast gave us the kind of light photographers dream about — and honestly, the two of them barely needed direction. They were just so happy to be married.

The Evening / Dinner

The day wrapped up the way it started: quietly, and just for them. A private dinner for six , surrounded by the people who mattered most, closing out one of the most beautiful and personal wedding days we've had the honor of being part of.

In Their Words

"I cannot recommend Big Island Elopement enough!! Sandra was amazing to work with from start to finish and really made the whole experience effortless and stress-free. She provided every detail & direction I could possibly think of in the months, weeks, and days leading up to our special day. She handled everything from my bouquet to coordinating our 'first look' moment. If you are looking to have a beautiful wedding ceremony in Hawaii, I would definitely choose Sandra to have on your wedding planning team.

Also, the photos we received are STUNNING. Major thank you to Kris, who guided us through different poses, made us feel at ease, and delivered the most beautiful photographs we could've asked for. Big Island Elopement exceeded our expectations! Mahalo, Sandra & Kris."
