Kendra & Lucas’s Morning Elopement at Paliku Gardens on Film and Digital
Kendra and Lucas, high school sweethearts to husband and wife, kept it small at Paliku Gardens at Kualoa Ranch: a morning ceremony with their closest family and friends, the Ko'olau Mountains behind them, married before lunch with the whole day still ahead of them. Photographed on digital and color 35mm film.

A laidback Paliku Gardens wedding, shot entirely on 35mm film in 3 rolls and about 100 frames, with butterflies that stayed, lots of laughter, and an acoustic song at the reception.
Our goal is simple. We want to capture your wedding day as it actually felt.
The real moments. The in between ones. The way your hands find each other without thinking. The deep breath before you walk down the aisle. We take a documentary approach so you can stay present instead of worrying about the camera. We’re there, but never in the way.
We’re based in Hawaii and travel wherever our couples take us. Being invited into such a meaningful day is a privilege. At the end of it all, the photos are so important because they hold the start of something much bigger than the wedding itself.
