From the moment I met these two, I could tell they bring something special to the world! Shianne brings a kind and bubbly energy to the world, while Topher’s laugh could put anyone at ease in .5 seconds. They’re a magnetic partnership, forged on the sun-baked sands of Kauai and persistent as the daily rainfall that waters the island. This couple loves living in the most beautiful region of the world, and I can’t blame them!

We started out with a few details set up in the airbnb near Princeville. It was the perfect spot to get ready! Shi’s dress was MAGIC. Just look at the sparkles! Perfect to contrast with the red clay of the Waimea Canyon (as you’ll soon see!). Topher’s brown suit blended perfectly for a non-traditional look, perfect for an island elopement on Kauai.

I really wanted to end with the photo above…but I can’t! ;) We ended up hiking to another spot in Waimea Canyon to see the waterfall views and take a fewwwww more epic photos. Hawaii never disappoints!!
