Robin & Chris’ story began 5 years ago before their gorgeous Maui beach elopement! Chris was driving through Colorado on his way home to Utah when he decided to hop on Tinder and start swiping! Robin happened to be on Tinder as well and they both swiped right! They didn’t actually meet that day but it did connect them to begin chatting! They talked for about 3 months before Chris made the drive back to Colorado to meet Robin. They met for a breakfast date, which turned into an all-day date, and Chris never left! Just kidding! He left that day, but it wasn’t long before he headed back down to Colorado permanently. The long-distance thing just wasn’t for them! They just knew their happily every after was together in Colorado.

We love sweet love stories like Robin & Chris’. It warms our hearts to know that we are a part of that journey now. A Maui beach elopement was the perfect setting for these two. They were able to focus on each other, the love they share, the life they are building; and who wouldn’t want to do that with their toes in the sand? Sounds pretty perfect to us!

Ironwoods Beach was quiet and serene this particular evening. There was a light layer of clouds that ended up drizzling on us during the ceremony. Afterward the ceremony the rain lightened and we saw a little rainbow making its presence. We did catch a little more rain while we were shooting on the cliffs but you know what they say about rain on your wedding day… it’s definitely good luck!!

Thank you so much Robin and Chris for choosing us to coordinate your Maui beach elopement! We wish you many more years of love and happiness!

Agi & Jimmy are a sweet couple from Illinois that we had the pleasure of meeting last week! They decided on a Maui beach elopement after several other wedding plan options over the past year. They met on Match.com about 3 years ago and have been inseparable ever since. Their very first date was meeting up for drinks at a local bar. Many shared interests and dates later they decided to tie the knot! What an honor it is that they chose us to be a part of it!

Agi & Jimmy’s road to the wedding wasn’t ALL fun and games of course. I mean, we are in the middle of a pandemic! Just getting to Hawaii has its challenges. Once they got on island and started heading out to their hotel, they were halted in their tracks by the Olowalu brush fire. They ended up spending their first night on Maui sleeping in their car. Not exactly how they wanted to spend their first day of vacation. But good attitudes and a beautiful wedding to look forward to made it easier to bear. And hopefully, the hotel credited you for the first night! 😉

Just after their wedding ceremony, Jacob from Manutea Nui E offered a sweet serenade for Agi & Jimmy to dance to. What a special moment, first dance as husband and wife.

This elegant couple looked magnificent as the pastel sunset hues faded into the ocean.

Paige and Andrew had a sweet and simple gathering for the special day! Their venue wedding in Maui took place at Five Palms Restaurant in South Kihei. It’s a beautiful spot that overlooks the beach and ocean while accommodating larger group sizes.

Five Palms on Keawekapu Beach was the perfect ceremony location for their friends and family who were able to make the trip. Their loved ones were so incredibly happy that they were able to have their dream wedding in Hawaii. Unfortunately, Andrew’s sister wasn’t able to make it in person but she stayed up till 3:00 in the morning to make sure she could be there for them on Facetime. We could hear her warm wishes and love that she was sending over the phone to them. It’s very apparent that these two not only share so much love but they are loved by so many!!

Five Palms grassy lawn directly ocean front is one of our favorite locations for a venue wedding in Maui with easy beach access.

Paige & Andrew are both in the medical field. Paige is a Registered Nurse and Doctorate of Nurse Practitioner Student and Andrew is a Medical Student! We honor and thank them for everything that they have done through this pandemic. For a long time they’ve put other lives first, but today, their love comes first!

Paige was a stunning bride with a humorous and fun personality to be around. She made taking her portraits as easy as it gets, willing to be adventurous and explore the lava rock terrain. She also  communicated what was most important to her, the beach shots. We made sure to get some breathtaking wide shots and focus especially on the beautiful Maui backdrop.

Paige giggled with love every time she looked at her husband Andrew. It made for some perfect, natural smiles and moments that really captured their love for each other. 

Mahalo Paige & Andrew for choosing us to make your dream venue wedding in Maui happen! You were such a joy to work with and we wish you many years of love and happiness!

Katie & Marcus are such a determined pair!! Nothing was going to get in the way of their love!! Planning their glamorous Maui beach wedding with us was their SEVENTH attempt at getting married in 2020! 6 other attempts at planning their wedding before lucky number 7!! Nothing was going to stop this amazing couple from their “I do” moment.

Just to highlight a few, their dream wedding was originally planned to happen in England but after the shutdown in England they decided to plan everything and move forward with having a wedding at home in California. They had the date set and deposits down for all their vendors… and then… California shut down again and had to cancel all of their wedding plans! Then we came in the picture to help them plan the most beautiful and easy-going Maui wedding they could’ve imagined. They were over the moon to have their wedding happen just before the year’s end and we feel the same way!

Katie was absolutely gorgeous and glowing on her wedding day with the most beautiful earrings and hairpiece accents to tie in all the details of her beautiful wedding gown. Spontaneously they decided to add some extra time at their hotel because when they arrived they saw how beautiful the grounds were at the Westin.

We had so much fun exploring the grounds and taking photos with the flamingos in the background.

At the very end, the Karma Hill Photography Team got really creative and captured a breathtaking portrait of them behind the waterfall at the Westin with some flash photography! These shots are epic!! We had so many varieties of backdrops and beautiful lighting we know that Katie and Marcus will absolutely love their photos we got during their special day.

Katie and Marcus had the most spectacular moon to close out their glamorous Maui beach wedding! We were able to capture it directly behind them on the cliffs at Ironwoods. Now that doesn’t happen every day!

Thank you so much Katie & Marcus for letting us be a part of your Maui beach wedding. We’d say that all the hurdles you had to jump through were just to ensure the perfect wedding day for you!!

This Pennsylvania couple is as sweet as they come! Not only were they a dream to work with while planning their beach elopement in Maui, but they also thoughtfully brought chocolate bars from their home state for their vendor team. Now that’s next-level sweetness!

Jennifer and Michael chose a morning ceremony for their Maui elopement ceremony. We love this option as it is typically cooler, the beaches are far less busy and then you have the whole day to enjoy together as a married couple! Elopements are all about breaking the rules and doing whatever you want, who says you have to go to dinner after your ceremony? Maybe a morning snorkel would be even more special!

Just look at how giddy these two are to get married, we just adore their chemistry.

Jennifer looked stunning in her Adrianna Papell illusion back dress from Madame Bridal in Boynton Beach Florida

Another great thing about an elopement? You can splash and have fun without worrying about heading to your reception dripping wet. We love that these two didn’t mind letting loose a bit and having fun on the beach. Plus, it’s refreshing after being in the sun! 🙂

Jennifer and Michael, Mahalo for choosing Simple Maui Wedding as your wedding team! We were honored to be a part of your day. We hope to see you back in Maui in the future!!

Shelby and William met the old fashion way at a bar in Seattle, where they both currently live. Shelby was celebrating a win with friends after a football game when William caught her eye. They hit it off right away and the rest is history. Today we celebrate their wedding in Maui!

When Shelby & William decided on a Maui vacation they did not share with their families that they would be also getting married. The true definition of a Maui elopement! They’ve been engaged for a few years now though so there may have been some suspicions amongst their crew. Anyhow, we love the element of surprise and surely their friends and family are excited to for them as they embark on this new adventure.

Small beach elopements don’t have to go without the traditional elements like a toast and cake cutting! The yummy cake and Martinelli’s sparkling cider are the perfect addition to your beach wedding in Maui.

Mahalo Shelby & William for choosing us as your Maui elopement coordinator! We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!

Madison and Austin have known each other from a very young age. They always had an undeniable connection and friendship and as they grew older they just grew closer and closer. This is a true definition of soul mates and these two were lucky enough to find each other early on in life. Many people spend a lifetime trying to find a love like this. We feel so blessed to have met them on this big step in their lives when they shared their commitment to each other during their Maui venue wedding. After meeting them and spending time with them we truly believe that love knows no age!!

We began documenting their special day at the bridal suite at Steeple House. It offered a private setting for Madison to slip into her dress and reflect on the moment she’d been waiting for. We snagged a couple shots of Austin prior to the wedding and we just love his classic black and white tuxedo and look.

Shortly after they stepped outside to the beautiful setup just out front of Steeple House. This spot highlights a secluded yet picturesque setting for our bride and groom. Their ceremony was officiated by Reverend Joe and then they were off to celebrate with family portraits and then couples portraits! You don’t want to miss all the gorgeousness in the pictures below so keep scrolling!!!

Madison & Austin shared their own personal vows with each other. They were so heartfelt and you could see and feel Madison tearing up with happiness. You could see just how much love and admiration Madison has for her husband and family. Austin’s mom was tearing up in the ceremony as well and you could just see how filled she was with joy that her son was marrying his best friend and partner for life.

Madison & Austin were the sweetest couple! She radiated with the love she received from Austin. You could tell he doted on her with everything he had and loved her deeply. And the same went for Madison and the love she felt for Austin.

We explored the top of the cliffs and Madison was the most easy going bride letting the train of her dress get dirty and embracing the adventurous landscape Ironwoods has to offer. We know they will love their timeless wedding photos that will speak wonders of their love for generations to come!

Mahalo Madison & Austin for allowing us to be a part of your special day! We hope that you enjoyed everything about it and we look forward to seeing you in the future!!

Ann & Donny first met at the beach in San Diego, both avid surfers and lovers of the ocean. They knew without a doubt that they needed to keep their love for the ocean as part of their wedding and chose to have a beach wedding in Maui!

We were excited to see that they brought their parents along and they were included in the ceremony with a sweet lei exchange. Reverend Peter officiated their heartfelt ceremony fronting the beautiful Hawaiian waters. After their ceremony, we enjoyed spending time with Ann & Donny and getting to know their fun personalities!

Their first kiss as man and wife went off in dramatic fashion with Reverend Peter blowing the conch shell to seal the ceremony.

We loved the addition of the cake and toast to Ann & Donny’s Maui beach wedding. It really added that special something; making the ceremony just that much more memorable for the two of them.

Immediately following the ceremony Ann asked if she could take a minute to go down to the water to get her feet wet and connect with the ocean. Without hesitation, Donny followed his new wife down to the water so they could take a moment to splash around together. The moment showed how sweet and playful their relationship is. “Toes in the sand, ring on your hand”.

Ann adorned the perfect dress for a beach wedding in Maui. The light cream color went perfectly with the natural surroundings while it light flowy look was was perfect for the temperature.

Mahalo Ann & Donny for choosing Simple Maui Wedding and letting us be a part of your special day.

This sweet Brooklyn couple traveled long and far with many restrictions in place in order to make their dream Maui elopement a reality! Getting to Maui is no easy task with all our regulations but for anyone willing to put in the work, we are so thankful to have them! We feel blessed to have been a part of Stephanie & Murad’s Maui wedding!

Murad’s favorite band is Counting Crows and he always knew he’d love a girl who loves Counting Crows just as much as he does. When he came across a profile on OkCupid that listed her favorite band as Counting Crows he had to send Stephanie a message! He was so excited that he sent her a novel long message and somewhere in there asking what her favorite song was. She replied with 2 words “favorite song ?? ;)”  If it wasn’t for the winky face he would have thought it a lost cause! Obviously it wasn’t a lost cost, it was a means to a deeper connection. To think this is where they are today is pure joy!!

Stephanie and Murad shared sweet personal vows the expressed just how perfect of a match they are.  We adore their Vow Books and enjoyed every minute of their words to each other.

Our cake package offers a sweet treat on your wedding day while capturing the traditional ‘cake cutting’ pictures.

We are so honored to have been a part of your Maui elopement Stephanie & Murad! Thank you for making the long journey and celebrating with your toes in the sand!! We hope to see you in Maui again soon!

Kristen & Kevin are a laid back couple from the East coast! They decided on Maui beach elopement for their wedding. They knew Maui was the perfect combination of beautiful and adventurous and seemed perfect for a wedding/honeymoon combination. We couldn’t agree more and we are so happy they chose us to coordinate their Maui beach elopement!

On the day of the wedding, we encountered some rain at Ironwoods Beach, their original location choice. We could either get them married in the pouring rain, which really isn’t as bad as it sounds or chase the sunshine!! They chose sunshine.

In Hawaii you can have really bad weather at one spot and just 10 minutes down the road is a beautiful sunshiny day! That’s clear by the pictures below. You would never know that a storm loomed just a few miles away! Lahaina Shores beach turned out to be absolute perfection for their wedding day. Gorgeous blue sky, very little beachgoers, a stunning sunset, they couldn’t have asked for a better setting!

Kristen & Kevin met at a friends wedding. They had an instant connection and the rest is history. They are now 2 cats and a puppy connected and building a beautiful life together!

Kevin proposed to Kristen on a romantic trip to Savannah, Georgia for 4th of July last year. It’s clear that these two adore each other and have many more romantic trips ahead of them!

Congratulations on your Maui wedding Kristen & Kevin! Thank you for choosing us to be a part of it!

Kristy & Darius were surrounded by so much love for the venue wedding in Maui! They are actually a local couple blessed with being able to have their family join them on their big day! It was extremely important to them to have their loved ones present and thankfully the restrictions on the island lifted just enough to make that happen!

We call this story Love & Basketball because that’s where the chemistry began. Kristy had her eyes on Darius for quite some time, but it wasn’t until a pickup game on the basketball court that she really caught his eye.

Kristy & Darius dated for about 8 years before Darius proposed. He ‘Popped the Question’ at his birthday celebration with all their friends and family in attendance. We love how this sweet pair cherishes their family! We know as their family grows they will continue to adore each other and grow this new family bond.

Camden is 5 months old and their biggest joy!! In addition to tying the knot and having a beautiful baby boy, Kristy & Darius also bought their first home this year! 2020 brought amazing things for this sweet couple!

It was such a pleasure being a part of your big day Kristy & Darius! Thank you for allowing us to be a part of it, your photos turned out amazing!

When Molly & Cody came to the harsh realization that a wedding back home with all of their family and friends couldn’t be possible for quite some time they decided on an elopement in Maui! They were going to be here for a vacation anyway so why not just seal the deal? We couldn’t agree more! There will be time for celebration with the whole gang in the years to come but don’t make love wait any longer!!

This sweet pair met back in college through mutual friends. They dated for about 6 years all the while knowing that they were each others forever! Cody proposed to Molly at a park in California that overlooked the ocean. It was intimate and romantic and Molly just knew she would be marrying the man of her dreams!

Reverend Kimo officiated their ceremony making them laugh and smile throughout. His ceremonies are so genuine and sweet but adding that moment of humor really makes them one of the best on Maui!

As Molly & Cody read their own personal vows to each other there wasn’t a dry eye on the beach.

Thank you so much Molly & Cody for choosing us for your Maui elopement. We enjoyed meeting you and hope to see you again in Maui soon!
