Kona Black Sand Beach Elopement

Kat & Brandon Kona Elopement

Love Story

“We met in our first year of college after picking up free cake. We discovered that, besides a love for free things and cake, we shared a love for dark humor, fantasy, food, rain, exploration, and so much more! We went on our first date to a dinky little shawarma place after playing billiards, got locked out of school, and laughed the night away wandering campus until we departed for winter break. Since then, we've spent 5 years learning from each other, having wonderful experiences, and building a happy life together. We're confident that no matter where life takes us, we'll be by each other's side, making the most of every moment.”

This Kona black sand beach elopement captures an intimate wedding on the Big Island of Hawaii. Photographed by Couple Cups Photography, the day highlights volcanic black sand, ocean views, and natural connection. Kona elopements offer a private, meaningful way to celebrate surrounded by Hawaii’s raw coastal beauty and beautiful sunset.

Kat & Brandon: Thank you both so much! We really appreciate all your help in both the planning and the ceremony itself. It was truly a beautiful experience for us both that we will cherish for a long time to come.
