These adorable New Yorkers flew out of the wintery cold and into the tropical sun for their Five Palms Maui venue wedding. Their Hawaii destination wedding was a Special Day compromise. Emily wanted a small ceremony while Jeffrey wanted a huge celebration–so a trip to Maui with just a close-knit crew of friends and family seemed like the perfect way to meet in the middle (of the Pacific Ocean)!
And we could not get enough of their playful and unique spin on a Maui venue wedding! Who says you need to leave your personality back in your home state? Bring it with you! We love how Emily & Jeffrey incorporated fun elements that brought their flair to the forefront! Keep scrolling for all the whimsical details!
Okay, short pause… can we draw some attention to this unbelievable first look? How cute is Jeffrey’s face?! Maui wedding photos like these are the reason we love the industry… fresh, authentic couples simply being themselves and enjoying each other on their Big Day…
We love the setup of this Five Palms Maui venue wedding next to the ocean with the arch.
We’re in love with Emily’s wedding style! A goddess gown from BHLDN with an illusion open-back and a trail of buttons that would make Mary Poppins green with envy! It’s a perfect combo of modern elegance and retro glam, with a splash of spunky flair!
Mahalo, Emily & Jeffrey, for sharing the afternoon with us! We adored getting to know you both as we planned your unforgettable Maui wedding at the 5 Palms. And we hope you enjoyed your Harry Potter-themed reception… after all, with a love as magical as yours, who needs Hogwarts?
Wishing you all the joy (and a Yankee blowout) in the years ahead!
