Molly & Chris are a sweet couple from Illinois that decided on a wedding in Maui! Like most couples who marry here, the beach is the best option for an intimate ceremony. The beautiful ocean and the long white sandy beaches are one of a kind here in Maui.

Molly & Chris had everything planned for a Lahaina Shores beach ceremony. It was super convenient and beautiful; they were looking forward to sharing their vows there. Then mother nature brought the high tide and you could barely see the beach they had a decision to make. Get married with their toes in the water, instead of the sand, or change locations to DT Fleming? They chose DT Fleming and we think it was a perfect choice. Check out the pictures below to see all the gorgeousness that seemed meant to be!

The beach was totally empty except for some firemen doing a beach training session along the shore. They stopped their training and cheered for Molly & Chris as they were pronounced husband and wife! Well played Maui Fire Department! It was almost as if we planned for you to be there!

Taking a walk on the beach, being present in the moment is a must after their stunning ceremony! DT Fleming is such a gorgeous location for a wedding in Hawaii. The gorgeous white sand and rock outcroppings provide a gorgeous back for the perfect ceremony photos.

Mahalo for choosing Simple Maui Wedding Molly & Chris! We wish you two many years of love and happiness!!

From the top of the mountain all the way down to the ocean, this sweet couple share their love for each other. Taylor & Mason were engaged at the top of Haleakala for sunrise and they decided to come full circle all the way to the ocean for their Maui beach wedding. We couldn’t agree more, this is the perfect setting for such a lovely couple to say “I Do”!

Ironwoods Beach sits on the west shore of Maui in Kapalua. The long white sand beach is adorned with rocks and cliffs on both sides. It’s one of our absolute favorite spots because of the unmatched beauty it has to offer. Taylor & Mason were blessed with gorgeous weather this particular day, waves crashing behind them, and they shared in a moment of bliss as they said “I do!”

Reverend Kuya’s heartfelt ceremony was beautiful, blessing Taylor & Mason’s union while embracing Hawaiian culture.

Taylor looked simply stunning and chose the perfect Maui beach wedding dress for the occasion. We loved the lacy top and the perfect length of her wedding dress.

Taylor’s beach wedding bouquet was gorgeous with a king Protea as the centerpiece of this artful creation.

Thank you Taylor & Mason for sharing your special day with us! We hope that you two enjoyed everything about your Maui beach wedding!

Malaya & Jarquece are first-timers to Hawaii and we can’t think of a better time to visit than for their Maui Wedding! It was a perfect afternoon for sharing nuptials along the shores of the Pacific Ocean. The sun was shining, the breeze was light, and their close family and friends were in attendance to share in the moment with them! It was so important to them to give their families a different experience for their wedding and bringing them to Maui was just that!

Malaya & Jarquece are high school sweethearts. They knew each other for a few years and became close friends before they actually started dating. It became clear to Jarquece that he wanted Malaya to be his princess forever. He proposed to her back in 2018 on a trip to Miami for her birthday. These two seem to enjoy the warmer, tropical weather, and we’re so glad they decided on Maui for their wedding.

This gorgeous couple chose 5 Palms, which sits right in front of Keawekapu Beach. It’s really the best of both worlds because you can enjoy an intimate ceremony with your close family and friends, then walk right out to the beach for pictures. We really enjoyed spending time with them and getting to know their sweet family! We hope you enjoy the pictures of their special wedding day.

Malaya looked absolutely stunning and she took Jarquece’s breath away as she walked down the aisle to him. Jarquece was looking pretty dapper himself in his maroon suit, Louis Vuitton belt, and white sneakers! Loving the unique style here!!

This Maui sunset was one for the record books on Malaya & Jarquece’s Maui wedding day. The purples and oranges painted across the sky created an epic backdrop for their couple’s portraits.

Mahalo Malaya & Jarquece for choosing Simple Maui Wedding! You were such a pleasure to work with and we wish the very best for you two!!

When your love is strong, and your bond is unbreakable, not even a global pandemic is going to get in the way! Samolia and Mark had originally planned for a beach wedding but switched to a Maui venue wedding at Gannon’s due to permitting group size restrictions. The intimate, quiet setting proved to be a lovely place to say “I do”.

After the ceremony, the newlyweds went down to the beach to get some iconically beautiful beach pictures. Being flexible is the key to having an enjoyable wedding in these uncertain times and we are so happy that Samolia and Mark chose us to help them through and make sure they had an amazing day!

Mark & Samolia celebrated their 5 year Anniversary on the first day of their marriage! It was clear during their vows that these two have so much love for each other. The both shed tears and so did their family and friends who shared in the moment with them!

Southside Beach was just a hop, skip and a jump away from Gannon’s and Samolia & Mark were sure to take advantage. Most of our private venues have a beach just a short drive or walk away from the ceremony location.

It was a perfect evening, a perfect sunset, and we got to share it with two very special people. Mahalo Samolia & Mark for giving us the honor of planning your Maui venue wedding. You were such a pleasure to work with and we wish you two many years of love and happiness.

For some couples, a destination wedding in paradise just seems out of reach. They prefer to celebrate back home where all their friends and family can attend. Others, like Tathiane & Joe believe a venue wedding in Maui is the perfect setting for a dream wedding! We asked the happy couple, “why a destination wedding in Maui?” They replied, “Because Maui is Our Place!”

Tathiane & Joe have been coming to Maui for the past 3 years together. It has become such a extraordinary place for them, they knew having their wedding in Maui was an absolute must. This beautiful couple was so excited that so many of their family and friends were able to join them in this momentous time in their lives.

Tathiane & Joe are a blended family of 6. This marriage was not only a union of the bride and groom but the uniting of two families into one. They included their 4 kids in the ceremony standing by their sides as they became one single family. It was a beautiful afternoon for a wedding and we are honored they chose Simple Maui Wedding to be a part of it!

A few tears were shed during their heartfelt vows as tears from the heavens also flowed. After their vows though, the rain stopped and they were blessed with a beautiful rainbow. The timing could not have been more perfect. Clearly they had someone watching over them and sharing in that exchange.

Amanda & Eric had different wedding plans before Covid got in the way, but they made the most of it by eloping in beautiful Maui! They wore their traditional wedding outfits to their Maui beach elopement, looking classy and sheik. We just love their timeless style!

This beautiful couple was married on the shores of Ironwoods Beach, just the two of them. They still managed to share their special day with many friends and family near and far through a special video. Amanda & Eric chose a videography upgrade that allowed their ceremony to be uploaded for their family to watch within just a couple of hours. Although times prevent us from being with our loved ones, technology helps us find a way to share in those moments still.

Amanda was apprehensive about letting her train down at the beach, but we’re so glad she did because the affect of the train in the wind was absolutely beautiful. 

These cliffside wedding photos were breathtaking and they captured the most beautiful sunset filled with pastel hues.

For dinner this sweet pair whisked each other off to Merriman’s. We’re sure their day was special from start to finish and were so happy they chose us to be a part of it!

Mahalo Amanda & Eric for choosing Simple Maui Wedding for your Maui Beach Elopement. We wish you two many years of love and happiness!

Michelle & John were forced to just go with the flow this year! Like so many other couples their wedding plans had to be changed many times due to Covid. It’s funny though how sometimes things come together and you realize they are just as they should be. Having a small, intimate Maui Venue Wedding turned out perfect for these two. They were married in a beautiful ceremony surrounded by swaying palms and their closest family and friends.

The Rustic Hawaiian Ruins are our newest venue here on Maui. They offer a lush tropical setting in the historic ruins of the Kilohani Church. This is the perfect spot to say “I do” if you have over 8 guests. Beach weddings are currently restricted to 10 people total including vendors, but a private venue offers more flexibility.

A butterfly fluttered around them during the ceremony. Michelle felt that it was a sign from her grandmother being their for their special moment.

Michelle & John still hope to have a big wedding at home in 2021, but just in case that doesn’t work out, they’ve at least had a great wedding here in Hawaii!

John proposed to Michelle with the help of a sweet puppy last December. The puppy had a collar around it’s neck that read “Will you marry me?” Well played John!! A puppy is definitely the way to a woman’s heart!!

Mahalo for choosing Simple Maui Wedding, Michelle & John! You were such a joy to work with and we hope to see you two in Maui again soon!

So many times in life we find ourselves putting everyone else first. As parents, you naturally put your wants and sometimes needs on the back burner and put your children first. That’s why this Elopement in Maui was so special for Jasmin & Fred!

This beautiful couple has 3 children, one with special needs, and their lives 100% revolve around them! To make sure this wedding really focused on one another they decided the ceremony was going to be just about the two of them! Intimate, small, and something they can look back on together and know just how special it was!

Jasmin & Fred met on Match.com. They dated for 3 years before they got engaged. Their love for each other, their patience and kindness for one another, has never wavered and it’s clear in the way that they look at each other. These two are a perfect pair!!

Jasmin said she was most looking forwards to the wide open landscape shots with Maui’s beauty as a backdrop. It was en epic day of gorgeousness and we’re happy we could deliver!

Mahalo for choosing Simple Maui Wedding & Karma Hill Photography Jasmin & Fred! We look forward to meeting the kiddos on the next trip and hope we can capture some beautiful family portraits for you all!!

Joy & David booked their Maui Venue Wedding a few months ago and we were all on the edge of our seats seeing if the state would open up for tourism in time. Thankfully the state travel regulations changed and everything just fell into place. Joy & David were able to get here with their closest family and friends and they enjoyed an intimate ceremony at the 5 Palms.

The morning of the wedding they were singing “Going to the Chapel and we’re gonna to get ma-a-a-rried” as they were playfully getting ready! They enjoyed that song so much that they decided to play it just before Joy walked down the aisle to David. The love and excitement that Joy & David share is so special! They were blessed with a rainbow just after their ceremony and they consider that a sign of good luck! We would have to agree, and we feel very lucky that you chose us to be a part of your special day.

We could see a rain shower slowly headed our way during the wedding & couples pictures afterwards but luckily it held off and they got great sunset shots, which was their dream for the wedding!

Mahalo Joy & David for choosing us to be a part of your Maui Venue Wedding. It was a pleasure working with you and meeting your beautiful families!!

Morning weddings have truly been missed these past few months!! The calm serene setting, the bright blue skies, the happy faces, there’s really nothing like it! Daniela & Brent’s Maui beach elopement was nothing shy of all those things; calm and serene, bright and vibrant skies, and filled with happiness!

Brent is a police officer and Daniela works in the school system in Illinois. She’s also going to school for interior design. This sweet couple was so happy to get out of the 40-degree weather in Chicago and had plans of adventuring around the island hiking and trying new restaurants for their honeymoon. After their gorgeous Maui wedding, they were prepared to enjoy it all as a newlywed husband and wife.

We absolutely LOVE the color of Brent’s suit! Daniela & Brent wanted to stay away from the super popular navy color but still keeping it blue. This color was perfect; they liked it because it reminded them of the ocean and still remained unique. Apparently Reverend Kuya really liked the color as well because he showed up in the same color kihei! The color looked amazing set against the morning blue ocean and the hues of blue in the Puukukui mountain range. Well done team!

The beach was gorgeous this particular morning!! A few people walking here and there but we pretty much had it all to ourselves. We took full advantage walking up and down before dipping off into the shade for a few shots in the greenery.

Thank you so much Daniela & Brent for choosing Simple Maui Wedding to be a part of your Maui Elopement! We really enjoyed meeting you and look forward to seeing you back in Maui soon.

“You Are My Soulmate…” is the English translation of Eres Mi Alma Gemela! Olivia & Nick are just that, two souls that were meant to join as one and live the rest of their lives together! Before their Maui elopement, these two met 12 years ago in Spanish class and they have been inseparable ever since. They were partners then in Spanish class and they are partners now in Life! There will be no more cheating off Olivia’s Spanish tests, ok Nick?

Leading up to Their Elopement

This sweet pair waited anxiously for months leading up to their Maui Elopement, not just with excitement, but with nervousness! No one knew if Hawaii would open to visitors. Every inkling of hope was quickly washed away whenever the state government pushed back the opening date. It was heartbreaking for them and heartbreaking for us.

But at the very last minute, a glimmer of light…. Just 3 days before their Maui wedding, Hawaii’s Trans-Pacific Travel Program was launched. Olivia & Nick were able to test just before they came and with negative test results, able to skip quarantine and get hitched!! It worked out perfectly for Olivia & Nick and we are beyond excited to share how everything turned out.

The beach was extra busy on the day of their wedding, but it as if someone was saving the perfect spot for their ceremony in the corner, away from all the noise and people!

Thank you so much Olivia & Nick for choosing Simple Maui Wedding to coordinate your Maui elopement! You were an absolute pleasure to work with and we’re so honored to have met you! We can’t wait for you to return next year for your 1 year Anniversary!!

Nicole & Avery, like so many couples, were blindsided by Covid-19 lockdowns and had planned a larger Maui venue wedding with friends and family. With restrictions on group size, restrictions on travel, and a statewide shutdown, Nicole & Avery had to put their backup plan into motion.

This beautiful couple thought 10/10/20 would be a perfect wedding date and decided to move forward with a simple plan. They found the perfect ceremony location and invited their closest family and friends to keep the group size down! We had to agree, this was the perfect backup plan and we were so excited to make it happen.

Their wedding venue, the King Kamehameha Golf Club, offers a beautiful mountainside setting overlooking central Maui. This private ceremony spot just past the Marilyn Monroe house sits right above a waterfall and pond and overlooks the golf course. Reverend Richardo officiated their intimate ceremony and pronounced Nicole & Avery husband and wife as their immediate family watched along! Sometimes the backup plan turns out to be the perfect plan and we’re reminded that everything is meant to be as it is!

Nicole & Avery’s little girl Aubrey couldn’t make it through the ceremony but she sure was adorable sleeping in her mommy and daddy’s arms afterwards. What a special moment for this sweet little family to share their love and commitment for each other.

Nicole & Avery met while Avery was working at Nicole’s Dad’s restaurant, Gianotto’s Pizza! We can all agree that Gianotto’s is a pillar in our community but we had no idea it was also a place where one can find their soulmate! Singles, take note!

After their ceremony we took full advantage of the picturesque setting on the side of Pu’ukukui Mountain range. The sun was shining, love was in the air, and we sure enjoyed capturing it.

Mahalo Nicole & Avery for choosing Simple Maui Wedding to coordinate your very special day! It was such a pleasure meeting with you and we look forward to seeing you around in Wailuku town!
