Big Island Hiking Hawaii Elopement in Pololu Valley
by Hawaii elopement photographer Sydney Sims
Emily and Chris went from large wedding plans to an adventurous hiking elopement into Pololu Valley on the big island of Hawaii. The decision to change their day into an elopement felt more true to who they are as a couple! They love to hike and told me how they wanted to incorporate that into their day. I loved how they were down for a sunrise ceremony. We met up with their awesome officiant, Kahu Tom, and hiked in the pitch black to a black sand beach in a lush valley.

My name is Sydney, and I'm a destination wedding and elopement photographer based out of Austin, Texas. I love to capture timeless, creative, and emotional photographs for couples who are craving an intimate, modern, and intentional wedding experience. Beyond photographing, I love to assist eloping couples in their travel and planning to make their day relaxing and enjoyable.
What a dream must be to be photographed by you two. Stunning elopement! It makes me wish I got married there.
