I’m Ann, founder of Elope Big Island. As a wedding photographer, I quickly realized that couples choosing to elope here often needed more than just photos — they needed a team who truly understood the island, its culture, and the unique magic of an intimate celebration. That’s why I created Elope Big Island: to bring together passionate local professionals who make planning effortless and meaningful.
We’ve assembled an incredible team of Hawaii-based planners, officiants, and photographers who work seamlessly together to create stress-free, unforgettable elopements. With decades of combined experience in weddings and events, our crew is here to guide you every step of the way.
At the heart of it all, our mission is simple: to honor your love story while showcasing the beauty of the Big Island. From your dedicated officiant and coordinator to your photographer and behind-the-scenes support, you’ll always have a caring, expert team by your side.

Based on our knowledge of the Big Islands terrain, weather patterns, hiking, and driving trails, we will recommend the best location for you, so your elopement is an experience that is uniquely yours! One location selection factor to consider is if you’d like to adventure off road in a 4 wheel drive vehicle and have a hike, or take a short stroll from the car to your location.
Whether that destination is a black sand beach, cliffside, waterfall, rainforest, sunset cruise, or a combination of these, we are there to assist you along the way. Click below to learn about specific locations.
We got your back!
