About Elope Big Island
Elope Big Island
Elope Big Island is a local team of professionals offering thoughtfully designed, photography-forward Big Island elopement experiences for couples in Hawaiʻi. From sunrise on a black-sand beach to waterfall vows, our pre-designed, location-inspired experiences are intentionally crafted and gently personalized — so you can focus on your love with no stress and no planning overwhelm.
With deep roots on the Big Island, we guide our couples to breathtaking locations — from hidden gems to iconic landscapes — chosen not only for their beauty, but for how they photograph and feel in real life. Every setting is intentionally scouted through an artistic eye, ensuring the light, scenery, and experience come together naturally so your story is captured at its very best. Our team offers thoughtfully designed experiences and seamlessly handles the details — permits, logistics, timelines, trusted vendors, officiating, and photography — with every element planned to support both a relaxed experience and meaningful imagery.
In three words: Efficient, Organized, Resourceful

100% recommend!!
We can't thank Ann, Elope Big Island Planner and Photographer enough for making our day so perfect. We would 100% recommend this business to anyone. Ann made the full process so easy, she was always attentive and communicative. She listened to exactly what we wanted and made sure it happened, and also gave suggestions to make it even better than we could of imagined. The value for money is amazing and she is not salesy or pushy with any extras. We have nothing but great things to say about the vendor recommendations she provided. On the day she was calm and made us feel so relaxed. We absolutely love our photos and she sent them sooner than we were expecting! We wish we could our elopement ceremony all over again and would book Elope Big Island Planner & Photographer again in a heartbeat! Thank you!!! We booked the Gold package, our ceremony took place on Kukio Beach, Kahu Tom officiated our ceremony, Indigo Grace did my hair & make up, Ann organised everything and photographed our elopement perfectly. My flowers and our leis that she arranged were also beautiful!

Amazing Experience! Highly recommend the team!
Elope Big Island handled everything we needed and more for our Kona elopement. I cannot highly recommend them enough! They helped us find an amazing place to celebrate with a lovely dinner afterwards. If you are wanting a stress-free planning experience, Ann and her team is the one you want!

Dreams Realized
Truly loved working with Ann and Elope Big Island! She ensured to answer all questions we had and met our vision! She provided us wonderful recommendations between our trip as a whole as well as vendors. When her usual flower vendor could not meet our vision, she didn't hesitate to provide alternatives and in the end finding us a different flower vendor to use altogether. Communication the few days following up and on the day of wedding truly relaxed me to enjoy my day. The day of our wedding rained at our location, but Ann truly made us feel like that didn't bother her one bit. She provided accurate timelines and meet those dates related to our photos after our wedding. Would HIGHLY recommend to anyone that is looking for a wedding planner and photographer all in one that Elope Big Island is the way to go!
