When Hovelyn shared her vision for Pololu Valley elopement it was music to my ears!

Hiking down into the valley early in the morning on this gorgeous day was a real treat. The birds were chirping, the waves were peacefully crashing on the shore, and there was a slight breeze.

Changing into their beach wedding attire was effortless with the help of a little collapsible popup tent they brought with them. They both looked wonderful and so happy.

While standing barefoot on the black sand beach, with the ocean just a few steps away, and the majestic forest behind them they exchanged their personal vows.

Congratulations Hovelyn and Julio!

Words to the prayer with which Deanna opened the ceremony:

Hoʻonani i ka Makua mau

Ke Keiki me ka ʻUhane nō

Ke Akua mau, hoʻomaikaʻi pū

Ko kēia ao ko kēlā ao.

Kūnou haʻahaʻa ko ka honua

Nā uliuli o ke kai

Nā ʻano lani kau hōkū

Nā nani o ka ʻōnaeao

ʻĀmene
