This laid-back sunrise beach elopement in Oahu Hawaii was such a dream!! These two wanted a quiet, intimate, and romantic day that captured their story while encompassing the beauty of Hawaii. This island is the perfect place to elope because it’s so diverse – you can get the beach, mountains, AND ocean all at the same location!
I absolutely loved how they embraced every moment of their day – they were on cloud 9 and were just so excited to celebrate their love, get creative, and enjoy every second of it!
Benefits of having a morning elopement:
I can go on and on about how amazing sunrise elopements are! Of course, nobody loves the early wake-up call, but it’s ALWAYS so worth it!! There are typically no crowds and sometimes you have the entire place to yourself! So it definitely feels like a more intimate and private experience. Not to mention that bright golden light, pastel sunrise colors, and just overall a super calm and romantic vibe.
It’s also location dependent too if you’re wanting to catch the direct sun. (The windward side of the island is typically best to get the full sunrise experience, but just as beautiful anywhere else on island)
Here’s a quick breakdown of the pro’s:
-
fewer people
-
golden, bright light
-
soft pastel colors after the sunrise
-
usually calmer water
-
able to shoot on the south/windward side of the island
-
full day to explore and be together
-
*I LOVE love sunrise for film photography add-ons!
A love letter from my couple!
“When looking for photographers in Hawaii I came across a lot, but Sheyanne’s work just spoke to me. You could really feel the love in her work! I knew I needed her to capture our day & I am so so glad she did. Looking back at our gallery makes us feel like we are there again. I can’t recommend her enough to capture a special season of your life!!”
As always, let me know if you have any Q’s and I can’t wait to connect with you and capture your love!
