Waimea Canyon Elopement | Kauai Wedding Photographer | Christina + Daniel

Christina and Daniel’s Waimea Canyon elopement on Kauai was freaking amazingly gorgeous you guys! There really is no other place like Waimea Canyon and no better excuse to go than for an amazing elopement! We started off by hopping out of the car and just taking in the amazing scenery on the walk up to the view of the canyon.

I’m so loving Christina’s BHLDN dress designed by Jenny Yoo. Sleek, yet boho vibes. Ugh, LOVE! Lulu Lush also seriously smashed it with the hair and makeup. She looks so beautiful. Her hair… can we talk about boho vibe goals?! I want Lulu to come do my hair every morning! So good!

How amazing are the florals from Blend Designs Co.? They went perfectly with the colors of the canyon and Daniel’s suit. After they got dressed it was time for one of my favorite things to photograph, their first look. I love those sweet emotions the first time you see each other on such a momentous day. I definitely cried for my own first look. Are you pro-first look or not?

Wanderer Weddings and Atmosphere Rentals Kauai killed it with this sweet little picnic set up they provided for the bride and groom. I love these details and the idea of having your very own little picnic for the elopement— so sweet!

After these two shared their newlywed kiss we went down to a vantage point where we could watch the sun set from. There’s just nothing like a sunset in the mountains of Hawaii! What a perfect way to end the night!

The Waimea Canyon Elopement Vendors

What an amazing elopement to be a part of. You can’t ask for a better venue than a gorgeous state park for an elopement. Props to the amazing Colby from Wanderer Weddings for the planning and coordination. The gorgeous picnic table and pillow set-up was provided by Atmosphere Rentals Kauai. The stunning boho bridal hair and makup was provided by Lulu Lush. The bride’s amazing polished and classic gown was Jenny by Jenny Yoo from BHLDN, while the groom’s fun blue suit is from ASOS Man. Amazing luxe Florals provided by Blend Designs Co. perfected their ceremony site and picnic set up. Their perfect (and delicious!) wedding cake with the sunset vibes was from Kawaii cupcake. And of course the photographer was Bre Rae Photography. If you are interested, be sure to contact Bre Rae here.
