Last week we got to be a part of Sydney & Patrick’s Maui Beach Wedding! This sweet couple was so wonderful to work with, and we loved spending the morning at Ironwoods Beach with them.

Joined by a small group of guests, Sydney & Patrick stood under Maui’s bright blue sky and vowed to love and cherish each other for the rest of their lives. Want to see some of the incredible photos from their beach wedding in Maui? Check them out below!

Sharing of Symbols

Sydney & Patrick’s Maui beach wedding was officiated by Reverend Kimo Kirkman. He brought laughter and tears to the seaside ceremony, and he led the pair in a Hawaiian-inspired lei exchange. Kimo explained that the lei are a symbol of the never-ending circle of love and a reminder of the fragility of life. And in traditional Hawaii style, Sydney & Patrick shared a loving kiss after presenting each other with the lei.

So not only did this cute couple exchange rings and vows at their Hawaii wedding, but they also exchanged fresh lei with each other. It added extra meaning to their heartfelt ceremony and allowed them to honor the beautiful place they chose as their wedding destination.

Portrait Photography after a Hawaii Wedding Ceremony

After their ceremony, it was time to take some romantic newlywed portraits with Karma Hill Photography. Ironwoods Beach has so many great photo settings, from the expansive sand to the dramatic cliffs, and all the landscaping and shoreline in between.

Sydney & Patrick are so photogenic and ready for any adventure, so their portraits turned out amazing! They found the perfect balance between fun and passion. We love how they were such naturals in front of the camera.

Maui elopement coordinator

Being a Maui elopement coordinator is so much fun, especially when we meet great couples like Stephanie & Abraham! This adventurous and kindhearted couple was so great to work with. Plus, they’re so photogenic!

Their wedding took place at beautiful Ironwoods Beach and was filled with so many sweet moments. Below, we’re featuring some of our favorite shots from Karma Hill Photography. Check them out, and join us in congratulating the lovely newlyweds!

“You Will Never Walk Alone”

Reverend Kimo led Stephanie & Abraham in emotional vows but was sure to add enough humor to fit their bubbling personalities. Their oceanside ceremony was a chance to reflect on their relationship so far and create a foundation for a beautiful future together. Without any stress and distractions, Stephanie & Abraham could be fully in the moment during their Hawaii elopement.

But how did these two soulmates end up finding each other? The dating app Bumble is responsible for bringing Stephanie & Abraham together, and their shared humor and complementing personalities have carried them from first dates to forever vows.

Back home in British Columbia, Stephanie is a behavioral consultant, and Abraham is a high school teacher. They love hiking and got engaged while shoe shoeing on a mountain.

They were lucky enough to have strangers photograph their mountaintop proposal, but they weren’t taking any chances with their wedding. They hired us as their Maui Elopement Coordinator, and we were sure to bring along our partners at Karma Hill Photography to expertly capture each moment.

Marrying at Ironwoods Beach in Maui

Ironwoods Beach is one of our favorite Maui Elopement locations. It’s a scenic spot on the island’s west side, tucked away on the Kapalua shoreline. A white sand beach stretches between dramatic rock cliffs, and the sunsets are dreamy. We love offering our Maui Elopement Coordinator services here!

It does get windy at Ironwoods Beach, something that worked in Stephanie & Abraham’s favor. The breeze caught Stephanie’s hair perfectly, giving her major model energy, and it added drama to her gorgeous gown.

We finished up their portraits on top of the cliffs, where the views are amazing. But even surrounded by this unparalleled beauty, our favorite part was Stephanie & Abraham! Their beauty beat the gorgeous sunset and glowing ocean. Take a look for yourself!

We are so excited to share these beautiful images from Sienna & Chris’ Wailea Beach Resort Wedding! It was romantic and fun, breezy yet serene, and an absolute joy from start to finish.

This sweet pair traveled to Hawaii from California, just like they did four years ago on their first vacation here. But this time, they were getting married!

And now that the hustle and bustle of wedding planning have subsided, it’s time for a new joy: reliving the day through their photographs. Take a look at some of their breathtaking moments below!

Wailea Beach Resort Wedding
Wailea Beach Resort Wedding

Romance, Companionship, and Respect

Sienna & Chris have been together for seven years and spent that time building a strong foundation of love and understanding. But how did the winds of fate bring these two to the shores of Maui for their wedding?

Their story began back in 2015, when they caught each other’s eyes on a dating site. In true SoCal style, Sienna & Chris had their first date at Disneyland and have been inseparable ever since.

They’re both career-driven but know how to have a good time. They take advantage of all the great culture and dining near their Southern California home and venture out to their parents’ homes near Wine Country whenever possible.

Chris proposed to Sienna at San Diego Safari Park as the giraffes and rhinos roamed not far from their cabana. Then it was time to plan a wedding. A big hometown wedding didn’t seem like the best fit for them, so they set their sights on Maui, a place of romance and adventure. And their Wailea Beach Resort wedding embodied all that and more!

Joined by a small and joyful group of guests, Sienna & Chris said “I Do” right by the ocean’s edge. It was the perfect way to begin this new chapter of life together!

Sunset Views and Lifelong Dreams

A Wailea Beach Resort Wedding offers a front-row seat to the world’s prettiest sunsets! After Sienna & Chris got photos with their family, it was time to take advantage of the glowing last light of day for some couple’s portraits.

The skies overhead turned pastel and gold, and the water adopted a tranquil turquoise hue. But the most beautiful part was Sienna & Chris! Keep scrolling to see how amazing these two looked at their wedding in Maui!

Maui Elopement

Emily & Jason had never been to Hawaii, and yet they chose a Maui Elopement. It was a great decision if you ask us, and it’s also a testament to their adventurous spirits. This Colorado couple was brimming with excitement as they stepped onto the shoreline for a romantic wedding.

Want to see how beautiful and joyful Emily & Jason are? Take a look at some of their Maui Beach Elopement below!

The Meaning of Aloha

Kahu Euta officiated Emily & Jason’s Maui elopement. Not only did he lead them in inspirational vows, but he also shared a lot about Hawaiian culture. He explained that Aloha means more than simply ‘hello’ or ‘goodbye’ — it’s also the ultimate expression of love and compassion.

As Emily & Jason presented leis to each other and vowed a lifetime of love, they also acknowledged the journey that led them to their wedding, along with the energy and romance that will carry them throughout their marriage.

From the Mountains to the Sea

Emily & Jason are an ambitious and fun Colorado couple. Their work and their fur babies keep them pretty busy — rescues Zuni & Daisy are the light of their lives. And Daisy even got to be a part of their mountaintop proposal!

Both Emily and Jason each claim to have come up with the idea of eloping early on, but their wedding planning began with a traditional hometown venue booking and an ever-growing to-do list. Once they realized their wedding wasn’t a right fit for them, they booked a Maui elopement instead. We’re so glad they did!

It was a peaceful day at the beach, and the sunset was spectacular. As Emily & Jason roamed the beach, danced in the sand, and marveled at the sunset, we were busy admiring how amazing they are!

We love meeting great couples from around the world, and Emily & Jason are definitely all-stars!

Last week we got to be a part of this gorgeous Maui Destination Wedding! It was a bright blue morning with a bright, beautiful couple. Chelsea & Brandon are the sweetest of sweethearts, and their ceremony dazzled with personality and love.

Want to see what we’re talking about? Check out the incredible couple and their spectacular wedding photos below!

A Hyatt Wedding in Kaanapali

The morning views along the Kaanapali coastline are simply breathtaking. We aren’t allowed to have weddings on Kaanapali Beach, but we can do something even better: we can use the beautiful hotel grounds at the Hyatt Regency Maui for a wedding!

Chelsea & Brandon wed on the Japengo Lawn for their Maui Destination Wedding. Japengo is an amazing Maui restaurant, but in the mornings when it’s closed, their oceanside lawn is a scenic blank canvas for any tropical wedding.

Dellables Floral created a driftwood arch with pastel arrangements, and Rev. Joe officiated the ceremony. Every moment of Chelsea & Brandon’s wedding was so heartfelt, from their emotional first look to their tearful vows to their celebratory walk back up the aisle.

We’ve highlighted some of our favorite memories below — check them out!

The fun didn’t end when Chelsea & Brandon said “I Do.” They still had access to the Hyatt Maui’s beautiful grounds and time with their Karma Hill wedding photographer.

They booked a brunch at Japengo, so their guests could kick back and enjoy the ocean views while the newlyweds took some portraits. They started at the altar, the perfect frame for an early-morning kiss. Then they headed over to the suspension bridge, which is surrounded by immaculate landscaping.

They finished their portraits by a dreamy waterfall, which was a romantic setting for a post-wedding stroll.

Before long, it was time for Chelsea & Brandon to join their guests at their Maui Destination Wedding reception, where they could eat, drink, mingle, and bask in their newlywed glow.

We give this couple and their Hyatt Maui wedding a 10/10. Beautiful inside and out, totally in love, and as radiant as a sunny Hawaii day!

This 10-year Hawaii Vow Renewal was like something from a postcard. The calm blue waters, the dreamy pastel sky, and the stunning views stretched out to the horizon. But it was Jacqueline & Andrew who made this day spectacular. They’re a beautiful couple, and their love for each other radiates in each image.

Check out some of their Maui Beach Vow Renewal below, and join us in sending them lots of Aloha as they celebrate their anniversary!

Hawaii Vow Renewal

Two Special Guests

We love it when kids are involved in Vow Renewals. Jacqueline & Andrew have such fond memories of their 2012 wedding, but it was time to celebrate their love with their children present. Their story of becoming parents is so heartwarming, and it was only fitting that the little ones got to play a big role in their Hawaii Vow Renewal.

Tyler & Alexa walked their mom down the aisle, toward a giddy and awe-struck dad. He gets to witness Jacqueline’s beauty every day, but it was mesmerizing to see her dressed in full bridal style.

This entire family is so photogenic — their Karma Hill Photography wedding photographer raved over how much fun it was to shoot their ceremony and portraits!

Only Good Clouds

Many couples dream of having a bright Hawaii Vow Renewal, so it can be worrying when the special day begins to cloud over. The good news is that these clouds bring us some of the prettiest sunsets. So we welcomed the cloud cover, as it brought us soft, tropical skies that became the perfect backdrop for Jacqueline & Andrew’s portraits.

Besides, these lovebird’s radiance brought all the light we needed. Keep scrolling to see how much fun they had on the beach!

We are so lucky that Anna & Julian chose us to be their Maui Wedding Coordinator. They were a joy to work with, and their elegant ceremony was a dream.

This was everything a Hawaii wedding should be: laid back yet chic, scenic and serene, and filled with laughter and tears of joy. Ready to see some highlights from Anna & Julian’s big day? Check out some of their shots from Karma Hill Photography below!

Sea of Love

Anna and Julian chose not to see each other before the ceremony. This added a few more nerves but a lot of excitement to the day. Julian was so sweet as he waited for his bride on the beach, and Anna was so excited to walk to her handsome groom.

Their live Hawaii wedding musician played “Sea of Love” as Anna walked up to the altar. Then Reverend Kuya opened the ceremony by blowing the Pu, or conch shell.

Dellables created a flower semicircle on the beach for the couple to stand in. It was the perfect accent to the beach setting, and it matched Anna’s bouquet perfectly.

And then it was time for the big moment when Anna & Julian said “I Do.” They sealed their vows with a kiss, then basked in their newlywed glow. We loved it all from start to finish, and we’re so grateful we got to be their Maui Wedding Coordinator!

About This Couple

This Seattle couple met at the University of Washington. They love swimming, bowling, hiking, and video games. Swimming is such a big part of Anna’s life that Julian proposed at their local swim club — it was all part of a romantic and elaborate scavenger hunt he planned for her.

Maui is also a big part of this couple’s life. Anna grew up visiting the island regularly, and eventually Julian joined them on their family vacations. So it was only appropriate that they wed in this magical too. Once they had their Maui Wedding Coordinator booked, they were ready to pack their bags and begin their romantic getaway!

Their wedding had an especially beautiful sunset. So after they got some fun family photos taken, they were ready for some alone time on the beach with their photographer. Keep scrolling to see some of their beautiful Maui wedding photography!

As the sun dipped low over into the ocean, Mercedes & Alex found their spot on the sand to enjoy an understated and elegant Maui Beach Wedding. There was beauty in the simplicity. These two are gorgeous inside and out, and the fuss-free ceremony allowed their magnetism and passion to truly shine.

“Wish You Were Here”

Mercedes & Alex kept the guest count small for their Maui Beach wedding. It was their children and granddaughter who attended in person. But they were also supported by friends and family from all over.

They wanted to include all their loved ones in their special day, so they booked our “Wish You Were Here” elopement option, which recorded their ceremony for same-day streaming. What a sweet way to ensure your ceremony stretches beyond Maui’s shoreline!

A Hawaiian Inspired Ceremony for a Maui Beach Wedding

Reverend Richardo officiated such a warm and heartfelt ceremony for Mercedes & Alex. He included Hawaiian-inspired traditions, like a lei exchange chant. We could feel the embrace of the island as he offered a blessing over them, and their vows were so sweet.

Small beach weddings like this one allow us to get to know the couple, learn about their story, and understand their journey to this moment. It makes it all that much sweeter when they receive their final blessing and share that first kiss as husband & wife.

Keep scrolling to see how cute Mercedes & Alex are!

After the ceremony, Mercedes & Alex took some photos with their kids. Their granddaughter Hazel was ready to steal the show (and our hearts!). We’re so glad she got to be a part of their wedding, as we know it made the moment and its memories that much sweeter.

Next, it was time for the newlyweds to get romantic portraits around the beach. Polo Beach is such a pretty spot. We got pictures with palm trees, lava rocks, emerald green shrubbery, and of course, that dreamy late afternoon glow!

This was such a fun Maui Beach Wedding, and we’re so grateful to be a part of it. Now we get to relive the excitement again and again by looking at these stunning photos!

Christie & Christopher are an incredible couple, and we’re so happy we got to be a part of their dreamy Maui Elopement. They had a little bit of everything: professional styling, rain and shine, a traditional ceremony with some Hawaiian-inspired elements, and a love that’s brighter than even the sunniest day.

And Karma Hill Photography was there to capture it all! If you need us, we’ll just be over here, swooning over Christie & Christopher’s breathtaking wedding photos.

Elopement Getting Ready Photography

Even the smallest, sweetest weddings deserve great getting-ready photography. This is the chance for the bride to revel in her head-to-toe style and capture bridal portraits as unique and stunning as her. And Christie understood the assignment!

We’re so glad we got to capture these exciting final moments before she headed off to the beach to marry the love of her life.

While Christie was putting the final touches on her bridal style, Christopher was at the beach, anxiously awaiting her arrival. We love the moment when he first saw her at the ceremony. It was like all his nerves evaporated and he was left with only blissful love. We’re getting chill bumps looking at the Maui elopement photos because it was so sweet!

All The Light They Need

Ok, we definitely hoped for a bright sunny day for Christie & Christopher’s Maui elopement, but we’re actually super obsessed with the colors and lighting at the beach. The clouds settled over the calm water, filtering the light into dreamy hues of blues and green. It was peaceful and beautiful, just like Christie & Christopher’s love for each other.

Besides, they are so bright and full of life that they provided all the light we needed at the beach for their Maui elopement.

Keep scrolling to see how fun these two are! From their small cake cutting to their walk along the beach as newlyweds, each moment is a core memory that they’ll treasure for a lifetime.

Maui Elopement at Poʻolenalena Beach

Christie & Christopher wed at Poʻolenalena Beach in South Maui. This large stretch of sand boasts views of Kahoʻolawe, Molokini, Pu’u Ola’i, and the West Maui Mountains. Plus, there are tall palm trees, vibrant green shrubbery, and dramatic lava rock formations. It’s a location that’s both playful and romantic, so it was the perfect spot for these love birds.

They shared a dance in the rain, and then the clouds held back long enough for us to get a majestic sunset picture that’s sure to get framed. It was such a fun Maui elopement from start to finish, and we are so happy we get to share these pictures with Christie & Christopher!

The Japengo Lawn – A Hyatt Maui Wedding Venue

The Japengo Lawn is the perfect spot for a Maui morning wedding. This small corner of the Hyatt is slightly heightened, so you get great ocean views without worrying about beachgoers and resort guests.

In the evening, Japengo is a bustling (and delicious!) restaurant. But on a beautiful morning last week, it was all ours. We loved every minute of our ceremony here: the beautiful decor Anna selected, the look in Farrell’s eyes as he said his vows, and the romantic Hawaiian music Uncle Jimi chose for them.

We could go on and on, but these pictures say so much already. Check out these incredible images that Karma Hill Photography captured!

The Peaceful Venue Wedding in Hawaii

Our delightful duo met during their time at the University of Connecticut! They were both Accounting Majors and happened to enroll in the same Federal Income Taxes class for the Fall of 2017. The universe works in magical ways because our passionate pair was in the same group for a semester-long project! Finally, on January 2, 2018, Wenting and Jacob began dating. 

Then on August 21, 2021, Jacob popped the question. Our handsome groom thought the best place to propose would be the same spot they met! After a calming summer-night walk around campus, Jacob asked Wenting for her hand in marriage. From there, the rest is history!

Our radiant newlyweds like going on adventures and trying new cuisine. Having a venue wedding in Hawaii was perfect because they got to explore the island and taste Maui’s delicious food!

Our charming couple’s story began when they met on a dating app in 2018 — and the rest is history! On Allie and Rob’s first date, they walked around Lake Calhoun, a popular Minneapolis spot. Allie wasn’t sure if Rob liked her because he was quiet and laid back. However, our delightful duo has been together ever since this unforgettable day! Then on 10/10/21, Rob popped the magical question at Lake Calhoun with their dog, Rosie. It was perfect because he proposed at the place they first met!

Why They Had a Hawaii Beach Wedding

This lovely getaway was Allie and Rob’s first time on the island! Everyone our passionate pair talked to said Maui was magical, and it changed them. Allie and Rob knew they wanted to experience Hawaii’s captivating energy! In addition, they wanted to honeymoon here, so they decided to tie the knot in this tropical destination. We adore their special day because it was intimate, calm, and stress-free — ideal for them! Above all, we know they’ll never forget their first time here!

Allie and Rob show us how beautifully opposites attract one another! Rob is laidback and quieter, while Allie is very opinionated and quick-witted. Currently, Rob is a Sales Rep for a Home Renovation Company. Then Allie is an Esthetician and owns her own business. You can find our radiant pair playing and taking Rosie, their golden retriever, on adventures!
