WE CAN'T WAIT TO TELL YOUR STORY

Couple Cups is a little bit more than wedding photography; it has become a big part of who we are. I love taking photos of Hawaii weddings, engagements, and vow renewals, but we’re just as excited about capturing the fun and beauty of everyday life.
About 17 years ago, my journey with photography began in Lithuania. It’s where I crossed paths with Sandra, who later became the love of my life. After 7 years together, we got engaged and tied the knot on May 4th, 2013. We moved to Hawaii 10 years ago, right after our wedding. Fast forward, and now we’ve crafted a slow life with our son, Aras. He reminds us daily to appreciate life’s simple pleasures and time together.
While I’m out capturing love stories, Sandra works behind the scenes, assisting clients, managing emails, and planning beautiful elopements in Hawaii. Whether it’s a romantic sunset elopement in Hawaii, a sunrise on a black sand beach, or a joyful celebration with friends and family at one of Hawaii’s finest venues.
Your images are your story, your history
“Sandra and Kris are the best in every way! My husband and I are both photographers, so we had such high expectations for our wedding photos. Couple Cups went above and beyond our wildest expectations. Our photos are breathtaking. On a technical level, the photos are perfection, but on an emotional level, they evoke every precious moment — the anticipation, the love, the happy tears — all over again. They were the best investment we made on our wedding day.”
Kelcey, Big Island Wedding
“Kris was everywhere all at once but barely noticeable. He got these images that didn’t just capture the event but really told a story. It’s a real gift. Looking back on the day is actually like reliving it, and it’s because of Kris. Mahalo Couple Cups for really capturing the love, excitement, and true meaning of ohana.”
— Rei, Hindu Wedding in Hawaii
“Kris was very discreet before the proposal, and my girlfriend had no idea he was a photographer until after I proposed. Once I did propose, Kris turned the occasion into a full blown photo shoot. He had great ideas for poses and played with the sunset lighting very well. Thank you again for making my proposal an amazing and unforgettable one.”
— Nicolas, Secret Proposal
Whether you’re planning a barefoot elopement on a black sand beach, a luxury wedding at Mauna Lani, a surprise proposal at sunset, or a simple session to celebrate your love — we would be honored to be there.
The Big Island is our home. Your love story is our passion.
