Matt and Stefani’s Waimanalo Beach Elopement – A Sunset Ceremony on Oahu

Congrats to my new friends Matt and Stefani on their intimate beach wedding that was held at Bellows Beach in Waimanalo, Oahu. I’m stoked I got to work with this couple since they both have a good vibe to them. Matt was super chill and Stefani was easy and great to work with. After the ceremony they all jumped in the water to celebrate. Matt and Stefani, congratulations once again and have a beautiful vacation and honeymoon here on the islands.



Matt & Stefani’s Waimanalo Beach Elopement – A Sunrise Ceremony on Oahu

Some love stories are best told in whispers, with the ocean as witness and the sunrise as their only guest. Matt and Stefani’s elopement at Waimanalo Beach was just that—quiet, intentional, and deeply moving.​

A Sunrise Ceremony on the Windward Coast

Waimanalo Beach, with its powdery white sand and turquoise waters, is a hidden gem on Oahu’s windward side. At sunrise, the beach is serene, offering a private and breathtaking setting for couples seeking an intimate ceremony.​

As the first light of day broke over the horizon, Matt and Stefani exchanged vows, their words carried away by the gentle sea breeze. The simplicity of the moment, set against the backdrop of the vast Pacific, was profoundly beautiful.​

Photographing Matt and Stefani was a joy. Their connection was palpable, and every glance, every touch, spoke volumes. The soft morning light bathed them in a golden glow, highlighting the genuine emotion shared between them.​

From candid laughter to quiet embraces, each photograph tells a story of love, trust, and the beginning of a new chapter.​
