HAWAII ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER
and EXPERT ADVENTURE GUIDE
Hawaii Adventure Elopements on the BIg island
From black sand beaches and hidden waterfalls to horseback rides, sunset sails, and stargazing adventures, we create unforgettable Hawaii elopements inspired by your love story and the Hawaii you came to experience.
Your Wedding Day Should Feel Like The Adventure Of A Lifetime
Imagine a day spent exploring breathtaking landscapes, sharing unforgettable experiences, and creating memories that feel true to you and the journey that brought you here.
Instead of a traditional wedding focused on timelines, expectations, and keeping everyone else happy, your elopement is centered on the two of you, creating space to slow down, be present, and experience a wedding day that feels more like the first day of your Hawaii honeymoon.
“Christian has an incredible eye & captured our wedding day beautifully.”
I had a very unique vision for my “elopement-plus”, and Christian was absolutely amazing from start to finish! She helped us find stunning spots around Kona and knew exactly when to guide us or let us be in the moment. Her warm, friendly presence put everyone at ease, and her creative ideas, like trendy reel video shots and some gorgeous drone footage, were such a bonus. She delivered our gallery even sooner than expected, and every photo was breathtaking.
Eloping was made for those who believe life is too short for ordinary love stories.
It means choosing experiences over expectations, connection over obligation, and creating a wedding day that feels true to who you are.
You deserve a day that's beautifully documented as real and raw as The journey that brought you here.

Meet Christian, Your Hawaii Elopement Photographer
As a fifth-generation Big Island local, Hawaii isn't just where I work. It's home. My family's roots run deep here, giving me a unique understanding of the island's hidden gems, local traditions, and breathtaking landscapes. I love helping couples experience the Hawaii I grew up exploring, far beyond the typical tourist stops.
My team and I help you create an experience that reflects your relationship, from choosing meaningful locations and planning your timeline to recommending trusted local vendors and unforgettable adventures. Every Elopement is thoughtfully designed around your love story.
When the day arrives, my goal is simple. I want you to slow down, soak in every moment, and be fully present with each other while I document your story as it naturally unfolds. Long after the flowers have faded and the vows have been spoken, you'll have photographs that bring you right back to the adventure where your marriage began.
“We ran into the water, got soaking wet, rolled in the sand, and shared the kind of ‘notebook-worthy’ moments you could only dream of.
Working with Hawaii Adventure Portraits was an incredible experience from start to finish. Their team was professional, fun, and so easy to work with, making our post-wedding portraits truly memorable. Our photographer, Christian, was amazing. She is not only exceptionally talented but also multi skilled, capturing photos, video, and even stunning drone footage all at the same time.
“She got creative with posing, and it felt more like we were all just hanging out and enjoying the moment than doing a formal shoot.
From the moment we met our photographer, Christian, we felt really comfortable. She was super friendly and warm, which made everything feel relaxed and fun. We had such a hard time picking our favorites because we loved so many! We couldn’t recommend Christian and Hawaii Adventure Portraits enough!
