Sunrise Hike and Waterfall Fun: Lakshmi & Kyle’s Kauai Elopement

We kicked off Lakshmi and Kyle’s Kauai elopement in Hawaii at the crack of dawn—4:30 a.m. to be exact! After a quick prep, we set off for a sunrise hike, reaching the trail by 5:30 a.m. Then, we ascended the mountain and were rewarded with a breathtaking sunrise. At the summit, Lakshmi and Kyle danced to music and had a blast on a hidden rope swing, capturing their spontaneous joy and love.

Next, we ventured down the mountain to discover a hidden waterfall. Lakshmi and Kyle frolicked in the water, snapped some photos, and enjoyed a bit of splashing around. Afterward, we hiked back and treated ourselves to a well-deserved breakfast break.

Charming Kauai Elopement Ceremony

Fueled up, we headed to our next hike—a waterfall-focused adventure. This time, we hiked up a different mountain to discover a stunning waterfall. Lakshmi and Kyle reached the top, played in the water, and enjoyed another rope swing. They relaxed on the rocks, savored lunch, and embraced the beauty of the moment.

After the hikes, we arrived at the Airbnb where the couple prepared for their ceremony. While they got ready, we photographed the details—Lakshmi’s dress, their rings, and those final touches. Then it was time for the ceremony at Tunnells Beach. It was uniquely charming, with our main photographer, Dani, introducing them with a playful, wrestling-style announcement.

Their vows were heartfelt and touching, and Kyle surprised Lakshmi with an adventure book—just like the one from the movie, Up. This gift held special meaning, as adventuring together is a big part of their love story. Thus, the book symbolized the start of their married life and their future adventures.

As they exchanged rings and were announced as husband and wife, a rainbow appeared behind them—a perfect symbol of hope and new beginnings. Meanwhile, we captured this magical moment along with their joyful beachside celebration. Then, they enjoyed their wedding cake and watched the sunset together. It was such a beautiful moment to have captured and witness those details!

Lakshmi and Kyle’s elopement was everything they dreamed of and more—an adventurous, romantic, and perfect start to their married life.
