Destination Elopement at Haiku Mill

For their Hawaiian wedding, this Italian couple brought along their adorable daughter, a translator, and their chic European fashion sense. It’s an intimate and elegant family affair beyond words. So I’ll stop talking and let the images from Chris J. Evans do the speaking. Don’t worry, there’s more where this came from right here in the gallery.



This is Giordana and Paulo. They are from Italy and decided they wanted to elope and have the Haiku Mill all to themselves. They brought along their daughter Virginia as well as their Italian planner/translator.

These dashing Italians spoke just about zero English, and I speak zero Italian. I needed to find a way to communicate my fashion vibe and after a few awkward body movements and modeling by me, I said, “Dolce & Gabana” and BOOM they got it!!!

The Bride wore Dolce & Gabanna.

The groom was styled out in an Italian tapered suit complete with wooden bow-tie.
