ALL-INCLUSIVE HAWAII ELOPEMENT PACKAGES
I’m a Hawaii elopement photographer who’s all about real connection, wild adventures, and moments that feel like you—unposed, barefoot, and a little windswept in the best way.
My number ONE goal here is to make sure that you leave with beautiful photos and a stress-free elopement experience.
Let's throw away the traditions
"Melly communicated very well, and was very flexible and understanding. She’s very friendly, and makes sure to connect before taking photo’s so that it’s not awkward. It honestly felt like a friend of mine was the photographer. She even managed to get some photos of me and my spouse with our 6 month old in her arms! She was sure to ask if she got all the photos we had in mind, and even backtracked to take photos in an area I seen when we came in. She’s a great photographer and 100% worth it."
Kaian and Chaz
"Melly was so fun to work with on our photoshoot! She made me feel so comfortable and beautiful and made the whole experience very lighthearted and fun! I get nervous in front of a camera sometimes and feel very awkward but Melly made sure to make me laugh and encourage me to just have fun and be myself. The end result was absolutely stunning and I will cherish these gorgeous photos forever!"
Jacob & Rachel
"Melly was such a joy to work with. She is super flexible and was able to work around our crazy schedule. She is super funny and made us laugh the whole time. We had such a blast taking photos with her and she made our experience so memorable. She worked fast since we were on a time crunch and communicated so well through out the whole process. She seriously feels like a friend and I can't wait to do another shoot with her!"

Hawaiʻi is home for me, and it’s where I’ve spent years finding the secluded beaches, cliff lookouts, and soft golden-light spots that make elopements feel like a scene from a movie. I know these islands deeply — the tides, the weather, and where the small pockets of unforgettable scenic views lie.
My heart is to guide you through these islands in a way that feels effortless and natural, helping you create a day that’s emotional, adventurous, and rooted in meaning. I’m here to help you slow down, be present, and experience Hawaiʻi the way it’s meant to be felt — with your feet in the sand, your hair in the wind, and your person right beside you.

Sample Full-Day Hawaii Adventure Timeline:
"Despite the 6-hour time difference, Melly made the entire planning process effortless. Through endless communication—including potential locations, flower vendors, and examples from past sessions—she helped us bring our vision to life"
When my husband and I eloped in Hawaii, I wanted to find a photographer who could truly capture these special moments. After Melly was recommended to me, I looked through her portfolio and instantly fell in love with her work—her editing style was exactly what I had envisioned. Despite the 6-hour time difference, Melly made the entire planning process effortless. Through FaceTime calls, texts, and thoughtful suggestions—including potential locations, flower vendors, and examples from past sessions—she helped us bring our vision to life. My husband isn’t usually the biggest fan of being in front of the camera, but Melly made us both feel so comfortable! She has the sweetest soul, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for an elopement photographer on the Big Island. The memories she captured are ones we’ll cherish forever.
