It was a joy to coordinate and photograph Elizabeth and David’s Maui beach wedding last week! Hawaii is a popular destination for weddings because of its natural beauty and unique culture. Our newlyweds had a magical wedding, and we are so pleased they could share it with their loved ones! Please keep reading to see more moments of their incredible day!

For a bit of history of our sweet couple, they met on a dating app back in 2018 to built a strong friendship from the beginning! They quickly became best friends and deleted the app within a few weeks. And they got engaged in December 2021 in the San Bernandino National Forest after going on a horseback ride! So romantic!

Our beautiful couple tied the knot at Maluaka Beach, known for its white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters, making it a perfect setting for a romantic ceremony!

It’s always a joy to see a couple deeply in love and happy together like Elizabeth and David! Our sweet newlyweds are radiating happiness in their wedding photos, and we hope their love and joy continue to grow and thrive in their marriage. We wish them all the best for their future together!

Their moment had finally come! What was most important to our lovely couple for their Maui venue wedding was to get married in a place where they could leave all their worries at home. We were so pleased to make that dream come true!

Maui holds a special place in Ashlyn’s heart – she has visited our beautiful island before and found profound healing and peace at a difficult time.

“After our third date, we were inseparable!” So Lauren told us before their Maui beach wedding! We love hearing how our couples meet; their story is just too sweet! Lauren had just moved to the Sacramento area for work and figured a dating app would be a harmless way to meet someone there since she didn’t know anyone at all…until she met Aaron. As you can see, it was a life-changing decision that blew them away! So it was our pleasure to photograph and coordinate their Maui beach wedding! Re-live their special day through these beautiful photos…

The islands were calling our darling couple from the start…they are both from California and weren’t sure where to hold their wedding for their families, so they decided why not Maui? They both love the beach and easy-going lifestyle of the islands, so it felt like a perfect fit! And since they love the island vibes so much, they will spend their honeymoon here too! Their beautiful Maui beach wedding was just the beginning of their celebrations…

Our happy couple savored these precious moments at Polo Beach together, as you can see! Aaron’s generous and kind spirit is just one thing Lauren loves most about him. And our beautiful bride looks exquisite in her lace gown as it trailed behind her on the golden sand…

Their deep love for each other shines through each photo, don’t you think? It was a privilege to coordinate their dream Maui beach wedding!

Congratulations to our dear newlyweds, Lauren and Aaron! May you have a magical and romantic honeymoon! May your future together hold all the love, peace, and happiness!

Home is where the heart is. Our beautiful bride Carrie was born and raised here, so naturally, she was so excited for their Maui beach wedding! And her handsome new husband Paul has never been to Maui, so it was a very special occasion indeed! It was our pleasure to coordinate their magical day that honored Carrie’s tropical island roots. Please keep reading to see more highlights from their beach wedding…

Our darling couple had the most perfect morning for their Maui beach wedding! The Hawaiian sun was shining down on them as they exchanged their heartfelt and loving vows…

It wouldn’t be an authentic beach wedding without the love and support of their ohana! Carrie and Paul look so happy to be surrounded by their loving friends and family! As you can imagine, they were ready to celebrate, but first, we wanted to capture a few intimate portraits of our newlyweds in the morning sun!

We love how elegant, and easygoing our beautiful couple looks in their Maui beach wedding portraits – barefoot and sunkissed! And Carrie’s tropical bouquet was exquisite! Perfect for a Maui-born beauty…

Our happy newlyweds now live in Minnesota, but as you can see in these photos, they cherished these playful moments splashing in the water together at Polo Beach! Since Paul has never been to Hawaii, this was even more special for them both… and he loved every minute of it too! They wanted something simple, easygoing, fun, and beautiful… and their big day was exactly that!

Congratulations, Carrie and Paul! It was a pleasure and privilege to coordinate your beautiful day! We wish you the very best for the future, and we hope (or we’re pretty sure) that we will see you in Maui! Sending you love and aloha…

“We both agreed that our wedding is OUR wedding, so planning a day for others just wasn’t right for us,” said our beautiful couple before their recent Maui elopement! And we couldn’t agree more! Amanda and Matt couldn’t wait to tie the knot, and we were honored to capture every moment! Our happy newlyweds wanted their day to be just about them, without a big extravagant show that didn’t feel authentic to their love story. So, let’s see how their dream wedding unfolded!

Amanda and Matt are two of a kind…they love spending quality time together and raising their 18-month-old son! They both are from a small town in Texas but never knew each other until they met on a dating app. While both were living in Texas, Amanda was blown away that she met a guy from her hometown, where everyone knows everyone! Little did they know what love had in store for them! The rest is history…

Since it was just the two of them, these photos feel extra romantic and dreamy! Amanda looks ethereally backlit by the sun…simply stunning!

They have that look – the newlywed bliss look! Both radiate happiness in every photo as they savor these first moments as husband and wife together! Our beautiful couple had never been to Maui before, so this entire day felt like a total dream at Southside Beach at sunset…

To our dear newlyweds, Amanda and Matt – it was a joy to coordinate and capture your Maui elopement! We are so pleased that your wedding was everything you wanted and more! Congratulations! May you continue to grow in love in the years to come!

What does a Hawaiian dream wedding look like? Jean and Adrian’s Maui destination wedding ticks every box in our book! To our delight, we recently planned and photographed their big day – we love the simple, tropical elegance! So keep reading to re-live special moments of a magical day!

Love In Paradise – Maui Destination Wedding

Jean and Adrian embraced every bit of the Hawaiian culture in their Maui destination wedding – from the tropical florals to the ambiance of Rustic Hawaiian Ruins, a stunningly beautiful and authentic venue set in the ruins of an 1800s church. The lush greenery is a gorgeous backdrop to say, “I do!” Our lovely couple exchanged their sweet vows within the original coral brick walls surrounding the altar, which added to the sacred feeling of the moment!

And to add to the authenticity of their beautiful day, our beautiful couple wanted a few portraits at the nearby Menehune Beach with the setting sun. It was the perfect ending to their Maui destination wedding! Even though they were excited to celebrate with their friends and family, they wanted to savor this moment on the beach together!

Surrounded by a golden glow, Jean looks just as glowing in her Haku flower crown! She looks like the picture of a Maui bride; elegant, relaxed, and carefree!

Mahalo Jean and Adrian, for choosing Simple Maui Wedding for your Maui wedding! We wish you all the love, peace, and happiness in your next chapter together!

Where do we start with our charming couple? Ellie and Doug have worked together for nearly 17 years, but they are not just co-workers, as you might guess! Their Maui elopement marked the pinnacle of their relationship, and we were so pleased to capture every intimate moment! Keep reading to see more highlights from their special day…

Our beautiful couple’s story began years ago…Doug and Ellie met when they worked together on a labor/delivery unit in their local hospital. And to our surprise, they worked many years together before falling in love! Ellie has two daughters of her own, and Doug has two boys, which makes a full and rich life together, as you can imagine! He proposed in June of 2019, in a beautiful private moment at home…and they both wanted something similar for their Maui elopement!

Maui is one of their favorite places, and they have been many times before! They love the privacy and scenery of the island, especially the dramatic cliffs of Ironwoods…and with passing showers out in the ocean, a rainbow appeared to bless them in their next chapter, as you’ll see!

After so many years of being co-workers and friends, we are so happy for these two! They are officially newlyweds! Their Maui elopement was simple, elegant, and intimate – just what they envisioned! A “no fuss, no frills” elopement often can be just as moving and grand as a larger wedding, but more in a more thoughtful and subtle way…just like Ellie and Doug!

Thankfully, the showers over the ocean stayed abrest and didn’t rain on our beautiful newlyweds! It was a little breezy, but that made for gorgeous, beachy photos…

Congratulations, Ellie and Doug! May you have many more years of bliss together with your family!

Jessica and Bobby’s Maui venue wedding was a sign that dreams do come true! We recently had the pleasure of coordinating and photographing their special day. Our delightful couple love to travel together, and when they came to Maui for the first time, they felt an instant connection and love for the island, so it was the perfect place to celebrate their wedding! It was a gorgeous day in paradise for our beautiful newlyweds, as you’ll see in the following photos…so keep reading!

These photos during the ceremony look so dreamy! The colors are so soft in the luminescent light! It was an incredibly sacred moment as they exchanged their loving vows to forever love, honor, and cherish each other…

Our charming couple not only fell in love with each other but with Maui too! They wanted an intimate yet elegant setting with a view for their wedding, so the grassy lawn at Gannon’s was perfect. And since they invited a small number of close friends and family, there was plenty of space to celebrate!

Forever By Your Side

What struck us most as we walked down to Southside Beach for a few more portraits of their Maui venue wedding was how clearly in love they are with each other! Our newlyweds met at work three years ago and became friends…although clearly there was something more!

They are completely lost in each other’s eyes in these photos…Jessica looks radiant with the long veil flowing behind her in the ocean breeze, don’t you think? It completely added an extra element of romance to the tropical setting…

From all of us at Simple Maui Wedding, we wish Jessica and Bobby all the love and happiness in the years to come! May you both carry the aloha spirit with you too! We hope to see you again on our island one day…

“His blue eyes got me!” Kati said as she retold her story about debating whether to go out with her workout trainer, Ryan! Needless to say, they hit it off instantly and eloped to Maui! Their Maui elopement was a beautiful day; we couldn’t be happier for these two! Please keep reading to see how their day unfolded…

Meant To Be – Maui Elopement

Their ceremony was just the two of them, which made it feel even more special! These two are the best of friends even though they were set up by Kati’s friend who was Ryan’s boss! Although, at the time, Kati wasn’t looking for a relationship. However, she knew this was something special right away…and from our camera’s view, we think so too!

How beautiful do they look? Kati looks radiant in her flowy, beachy gown…and we love a man in a white suit! Ryan dressed perfectly to match his gorgeous bride!

Clearly, Kati was literally swept off her feet by her handsome new husband, Ryan! They both were smiling ear to ear…one thing for sure is that their initial workout session will be one they will forever remember!

We wandered up the dramatic cliffs of Ironwoods with our loving newlyweds to capture a few more stunning portraits of their Maui elopement!

The raw beauty of the deep ocean was the perfect backdrop to these photos…the colors are so soft and pastel, which makes these intimate portraits feel like a tropical dream!

We wish Kati and Ryan all the happiness, peace, and love in your future together! You are a gracious and loving couple!

So our beautiful couple attended a leadership conference and reconnected ten years later! Once they reconnected, they immediately knew it was happily ever after… Courtney calls it divine timing!

The moment when they exchanged their vows felt like a dream! The light was so soft and romantic as it filtered through the bamboo arch on the grassy lawn at Gannon’s. These photos feel so enchanting!

And their sweet little boy wanted to be back in Papa’s arms as soon as possible! So sweet.

They were surrounded by their big, loving families who were ecstatic about their Maui venue wedding! But first, our newlyweds went down to Southside Beach for a few intimate portraits…and these quite possibly are our favorites of the day!

The sky was a surreal peachy pink that was so flattering in these photos! They cherished these moments as the sun set in the sky…Courtney looks gorgeous in her flowy beachy wedding dress! And Sadiq is equally sharp in his classic black-and-white look!

How romantic are these photos?! They had the most incredible sunset to end their Maui venue wedding! The energy and connection were magnetic between our darling newlyweds!

Could there be anything more romantic than a Maui beach elopement?! Addyson and Cody had the most spectacular sunset for their beach elopement, as you’ll see! It was a quiet and intimate affair, and their close friends and family joined our beautiful couple…that’s all that matters! Simple, paired-down elegance is what Addyson and Cody’s big day was all about!

Enveloped in a golden glow, their beautiful ceremony began right by the shoreline at Maluaka Beach. Addyson and Cody’s personal and heartfelt words drifted into the ocean breeze…Maui beach elopements are often far more moving than a grand wedding, as you can see! Just the two of them making a sacred commitment to love, honor, and cherish each other for the rest of their lives…

Addyison looked like an ethereal goddess illuminated by the setting sun! The intricate ivy leaf detail of her gown is stunning…the soft light in these photos casts a pastel glow over our beautiful bride!

Our darling pair savored these private moments before celebrating with their friends and family. Maui blessed them as they walked together into their new chapter with the most incredible sunset of pink and peach! They were smiling ear to ear, soaking in the moment… their unbridled joy tempted them to jump right into the water; Addyson didn’t mind getting her dress a little wet!

Mahalo to Addyson and Cody for choosing Simple Maui Wedding for your Maui beach elopement! It was an honor to plan your special day! We wish you all the love and peace in the coming years…until we see you again!
