“You are my greatest adventure.”
Some couples choose a ballroom. Others choose a beach. But for Bre and Branden, their wedding venue was a vow in itself—the summit of Haleakalā, a sacred space above the clouds. This wasn’t just a location; it was a statement. A declaration that their marriage, from its very first moments, would be an adventure without limits.
This is the story of that first day, a Haleakala elopement told in their own words.
A Promise Above the Clouds
There is a profound clarity that comes with standing at 10,000 feet, with the world stretching out below. It’s a place that strips away the noise and leaves only what is essential. For Bre and Branden, that essential truth was their choice to face the world together. It’s a choice you can hear in the simple, powerful promise they made to each other: “I choose you.”
This choice is the foundation of their partnership, a belief that together, they are unstoppable. As Bre so perfectly put it, “I feel like I can conquer the world with you by my side.” That is the spirit of a true adventure elopement—it’s not about escaping tradition, but about running towards a life of shared strength and limitless possibility.

The Friendship That Fuels the Adventure
Even in the most epic of settings, the heart of a great love story is often found in the small, human moments. While their vows were profound, they were also filled with the easy comfort and humor of two people who are, at their core, best friends. This is the magic of their connection—a partnership where grand adventures are fueled by the joy of simply being themselves.
You can hear it in Branden’s playful promise “to listen… even when the Packers are playing,” a moment of levity that speaks volumes about their real-world love. And you can feel it in Bre’s heartfelt admission, “I love that we can be weird together.” As an adventurous Maui videographer, capturing this balance—the epic scale of the location and the intimate, joyful reality of the couple—is the entire art.
The Vows
Their promises to each other were a perfect blend of profound commitment and the joyful reality of their friendship.
“I promise to love you, to honor you, to respect you, to support you… I feel like I can conquer the world with you by my side.”
“I promise to listen… even when the Packers are playing. You are my greatest adventure. I choose you.”
A wedding day is a single moment. But the choice to embark on an adventure of a lifetime is a legacy. A film is the proof that your adventure was real, a story to be revisited every time you need to remember what it felt like to stand on top of the world, together.
Is your legacy the next one we tell?
