Photographing a small elopement at Tunnels Beach

This couple decided to celebrate their love with just their closest friends here on Kauai, and the day stayed small, intimate and laid-back. The ceremony took place on the sand at Tunnels Beach in Haena, with a few friends standing close and a big sky overhead.

The groom wore a white linen shirt and a green leaf lei, and the bride wore a white dress with a white lei and carried a bouquet of white flowers and greenery. After the ceremony we spent time at the water’s edge for portraits with the mountain ridge behind them, including a lift on the wet sand and a quiet close-up of a ring. We also made time for group portraits with the friends who came along, all in leis and bright Hawaiian prints.
