When we asked Michael and Laura what they wanted their Maui Elopement to be, they told us “intimate and chill”. We think their Maui wedding ceremony was exactly that and more. It was also beautiful, moving and personal.
About The Couple
Micheal proposed to Laura at the top of her favorite hiking trail “sweaty and dirty” which she joked is their natural state. We’d say they clean up pretty well! We love their bridal style, with Laura’s lace dress gently blowing in the breeze and Michael’s blue suit complimenting the ocean, they looked perfect for their beach wedding.
They had talked about a courthouse wedding to take care of the legal side of the marriage, but then remembered they had a trip already booked to Maui. They decided to turn the vacation into a wedding and honeymoon! What a great idea! A beautiful intimate way to start your journey together as husband and wife.
They decided to make the drive together from the opposite side of the island rather than wait to see each other at the ceremony. This worked great for them and took a little of the pressure off, which kept the “chill” part of what they wanted. The ceremony started with a conch shell blowing and tears being held back. When they said their custom vows to each other, the tears could not be held back any longer. We loved how sweet they were to each other and the fact they took the time to write down their feelings and share them in such an intimate way.
Thank you, Laura and Michael, for including us in your “intimate and chill” wedding, we loved every minute of it! We wish you both the best in all your future adventures together!

A Maui Beach wedding is always special, but we just loved all the inspired touches Sharadin and Michael added to make their celebration more personal. The green and white floral palate complimented the natural elements and the beach and carried through perfectly to their oceanfront reception at the Andaz.
To make sure they captured all the special details they made sure to add additional photography time. The added photo time allowed them to capture the getting ready process and the reception. They will have amazing images that tell the story of the day and captured so many beautiful moments together and with their friends and family.
The Details
We loved that Sharadin chose to bring their invites and announcements to be photographed. It provided a great backdrop for a beautiful photo of the rings. They had a romantic half-circle of green and white flowers for their ceremony alter and custom signage at their reception. It’s fun to see their journey from engaged couple to a destination Maui beach wedding.
Sharadin has a special bond with her dad and included a personalized gift for him as well as a father-daughter first look after she was finished getting ready. It’s special touches like this that made their Maui wedding so unique and inspirational.

We absolutely loved being a part of Jenny and Brandon’s Maui Wedding. The Pacific Northwest couple is just a few months away from welcoming a baby boy to their family and could not be more excited.
A planned work trip to Maui for Brandon turned into the perfect opportunity to tie the knot and they chose the most beautiful evening for it. It was one of the most epic sunsets we have seen in a long time, and we see a lot of sunsets!
About the Couple
After meeting on Instagram via a funny comment on one of Jenny’s videos, they started to talk on DM and never stopped. The connection only deepened after they connected in real life. They share a love of sports and when they aren’t busy with work, watching their favorite team the Seattle Seahawks. Go Hawks!
The Wedding Day
Jenny and Brandon chose a Maui beach wedding ceremony at Po’olenalena beach just before sunset. They had a lovely group of friends and family who traveled to witness and support their wedding and the mood on the beach that day was definitely one of excitement and love.
After a touching ceremony performed by Reverend Kuya they took advantage of the scenery to take photos with loved ones, each other and celebrate that beautiful baby bump!
The overcast day surprised everybody with a stunning sunset and it was the perfect way to send them off to the rest of their life together.
Mahalo Brandon and Jenny for choosing us to be a part of your next adventure together!

When Abi & Olu’s Maui Elopement photos came into the office after their wedding the whole team was all “ooooohing and aaaahhhing” over just how gorgeous they were. Not only was their love radiating from the photos, their bridal style and floral was ridiculously on point.
Abi’s form-fitting mermaid dress with a flowing train looked stunning on the beach and on her! Olu’s tailored blue suit was perfect for the overcast morning weather, the soft tone complimented the sky and ocean perfectly. We also LOVED the custom bouquet Abi chose with the all-white tropical flowers and flowing greenery.
The Couple’s Story
They met through a mutual friend of Abi’s, they didn’t live in the same city but when Olu came for a visit they quickly fell in love! They are both active in their church and enjoy volunteering as a quality way to spend time together. They chose a Maui wedding because they didn’t want a traditional wedding and getting married on the beach sounded perfect. Although they had never been to Hawaii before, they loved everything about the idea of having a destination wedding.
The Wedding Day
They decided on a morning wedding because they wanted bright blue ocean in their photos, but Maui decided that it was going to be soft overcast light that morning. We actually LOVE the way it turned out in photos making everything look so dreamy. We also loved the fact that Abi wanted some getting ready photos. It helped document the day and showed the process of getting ready to marry her sweetheart. After an intimate ceremony, the couple turned on their modeling skills for some gorgeous couples photos, they were so natural in front of the camera! They then had the rest of the day to enjoy together and get the honeymoon started!
Thank you Abimbola & Oluwapelumi for trusting us to plan your Maui Elopement! It was truly our pleasure to have been a part of your day!

This beautiful family visited Maui two years ago and fell in love with it. So when it came time to plan their wedding, there wasn’t a question: they wanted to have their wedding in Maui.
It was just this sweet family of three for this Maui Beach wedding. You could say it was kind of a family elopement! It turned out to be an amazing choice, as the beach, sunset, and weather were absolute perfection!
We love when a couple decides to include their kids in the wedding ceremony. Andrea and Jon made sure their daughter Hannah was standing with them and incorporated into the lei exchange. It made for such a special family photo moment.
This family has a special bond and it was so special to get to witness it in person. We also love that they made time after there ceremony for some gorgeous family portraits as well as couples photos.
After the wedding, the family was looking forward to a relaxing vacation. They couldn’t wait to take in all Maui has to offer. What a great way to get married. Being with the people you love in one of the most beautiful spots on the planet.
Thank you so much, Andrea, Jon, and Hannah for including us in your wedding in Maui!

Move over Folgers, the new best part of waking up is getting to marry the love of your life! That’s just what Ty and Erika did at their beautiful morning Maui Destination Wedding!
Their Love Story
Fate brought these two together when Erika was interning at Ty’s college all the way from Brazil! They fell in love and dated long distance for three years going back and forth between Texas and Brazil. They are finally getting to be together living in Boston and loving the life they are building together.
Erika had never been to Hawaii at all and Ty had been two other islands but not Maui. So it was they got to experience Maui for the first time together. When they decided on a destination wedding in Maui they said they wanted to book us because our website was so well put together and made them confident we would put the same level of detail into planning their wedding, Thank you two!!
Their Wedding Day
Erika wanted the first time Ty saw her on their Maui wedding day to be when she was making her entrance to their ceremony, it was a beautiful moment to see Ty admiring his soon to be wife walking towards him to the ceremony.
Surrounded by close family and Erika’s dad on a live stream, they said their vows to a bright sunny morning on a nearly empty beach with the sound of waves crashing nearby and soft ocean breezes. After the ceremony, they celebrated with a cake-cutting ceremony and then some beautiful photos to remember the beautiful morning Maui destination wedding.
We especially loved that they chose to add on our Just Maui’d sign with floral, it looked so pretty against the bright blue ocean!
Thank you so much, Erika and Ty, for choosing Simple Maui Wedding to be your Maui wedding coordinators, we were so happy to have been a part of your day!! Keep scrolling for more of this lovely morning Maui beach wedding.

We loved all the unique details that Jordan and Zack put into their wedding. All of our weddings start with a Maui Wedding Package and then it’s up to our couples to decide how much or little they want to customize them. Jordan and Zack booked our Gannon’s Maui Venue Wedding package and added many special touches that made their wedding day 100% them. One of the first things the guests saw as they arrived was a lei and a fan on their chair to start the festivities.
Choosing to say their vows privately to each other after their first look was another special touch. This intimate moment was so special to witness and we know they will remember it for the rest of their lives. It was also a good way to take some of the pressure off and calm their nerves for their venue wedding ceremony!
The couple also decided to bring their own officiant, who married Zack’s parents over 30 years ago! That is not only special but has to carry some good luck along with it!
After the ceremony, the couple had fun taking photos with their wedding party. They all looked so good and the bridesmaids dresses matched the bright tropical theme that carried into the reception which included custom signs and pineapple centerpieces.
Before Jordan and Zack joined their guests at the reception, they snuck away to get some intimate beach photos. The colors of the sunset were extraordinary that night due to a fire in a different part of the island. The smoke in the atmosphere made the sunset look so dreamy and beautiful.
When they returned for their reception they enjoyed first dances, cake cutting, and a dance party. What a perfect end to a perfect day! We feel so honored that Jordan and Zack trusted us to help them plan this very unique venue wedding in Maui and hope they live happily ever after and hear about how amazing their wedding day was from their guests for years to come!

When this couple started planning their Maui Elopement with us, we could immediately tell they were extremely laid back. Laurie especially! Kyle even joked, “she makes a terrible bride” because she still hadn’t gotten her dress 3 weeks before the wedding, haha. But she ended up with one of the most stunning wedding dresses we’ve ever seen!
We absolutely loved working with this bride and groom and were so inspired by their carefree personalities and way of interacting with each other. After being together for 6 years, these two have a very in sync relationship. And we are dying over how they met!
Tinder Success Story
Laurie had downloaded the Tinder app for fun not planning on really using it. But, sure enough, they both swiped right and got matched! They happened to have lots of mutual friends so she let us know she was able to “check if he was a psycho” and avoid a date turned horror story🤪. Has anyone else been listening to real crime podcasts? Our entire team is hooked!
Wedding Portraits
After an intimate Maui Elopement ceremony led by Reverend Joe Miles, our newlyweds were ready to showcase their love for the camera! When they’d mentioned previously that they “just wanted a couple of nice photos.” we told them they’d get that PLUS more, LOL. And our sister company delivered, just see for yourself!
The island was showing off extra hard with the soft lighting and glowing moon. This was Laurie and Kyle’s time here and Maui really left an unforgettable impression! And we feel the same way about these two.
Thank you, Laurie and Kyle, for letting us celebrate with you at your Maui Elopement. We had the best time getting to know you both and can’t wait for you to return, maybe on a special anniversary trip! Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

Melissa and Sandy live in Austin but also own a place here in Kihei so they come here a lot, and were excited to have a Maui Beach Elopement. Their excitement was magnified by the excitement of starting this next chapter of their lives not only as husband and wife, but also as mom and dad! Our bride is pregnant and they’re naming the baby Makena. So sweet!
After getting ready with the help of Maui Makeup Artistry, Melissa was ready to meet up with her groom at Maluaka Beach. Sandy was waiting for her as she pulled up, eager to see her in her bridal glory! We love that they were able to share this moment prior to their ceremony and then walk over to the sandy beach together.
Finding Love Unexpectedly
When Melissa and Sandy first met, neither of them were looking for love but when they saw each other everything just clicked! It’s easy to see they share a natural connection. And we just love the way they look at each other with pure joy. We have no doubt these two will experience a lifetime of happiness with each other and their growing family!
Thank you, both, for sharing such a beautiful evening with Simple Maui Wedding. We are honored we could be part of your Maui Beach Elopement and wish you all the best on the journey ahead! Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

Vicky and Joseph decided to have a Maui Destination Wedding because they really wanted a beach wedding in a beautiful location. And it doesn’t get better than Ironwoods! We set up on the left side of the beach because they loved having the cliffs in the background during their ceremony. It was seriously so stunning, just see for yourself!
From the very start of their wedding we could tell this couple shares a very special bond. The expression of complete love on our groom’s face when he saw his bride for the first time, said it all! And we can’t get over how much joy Vicky was radiating through her smile. (Take a peek of this moment in the gallery below).
About Vicky and Joseph
When these two met 6 years ago while taking a class together at a community college, they started out as study buddies and eventually started dating. Vicky is now a nurse and Joseph is a pharmacist and they love going to the lake, spending time with friends, and playing with their dog. Joseph also has a 9 year old daughter and we are so glad she could share in the excitement of their special day!
It was especially sweet to witness as our newlyweds interacted with each other during wedding portraits. They were so cute together and up for all of our photographer’s ideas, which is always a plus lol. The waves were especially HUGE, which Vicky and Joseph loved!
They made for some really beautiful and dramatic photos and their sunset skies were colorful and pink. We love that this is how they’ll always remember their wedding day at Ironwoods Beach. It was literally a perfect evening for their Maui Destination Wedding!
Thank you, Vicky and Joseph, for letting Simple Maui Wedding celebrate with you and your loved ones! We had an unforgettable time with you both and with you a lifetime of happiness as husband and wife. Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

Our groom used to live here, so they visit as much as they can. And decided what better place to say “I do” than at a Maui Beach Wedding?! Lahaina is particularly special to Tiana and Scott, making this the ideal location for their ceremony. And we love that they were joined by family (including their 7-month-old son, Dominic) for such a special occasion!
As Tiana and Scott stood side by side, it was clear that these two truly do complete each other! And even though our bride had a hard time getting her “soon to be husband’s” ring on his finger, it finally slid on and is there to stay 🙂 . Also! Scott’s ring belonged to his father too. We love how excited these two are about starting this next chapter in their lives, and are so glad we could be part of it!
Wedding Portraits
After taking photos with their loved ones it was time for our newlyweds to have a little alone time with our sister company, Karma Hill Photography, for wedding portraits! And we love that they wanted to take photos by the Banyon Tree to further document this place they love so much! We know these are images they will treasure for many years to come.
Thank you, Tiana and Scott, for trusting Simple Maui Wedding to help plan a day we know you will always hold near and dear to your hearts! We loved getting to celebrate with you and wish you all the best on the journey ahead. Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

We loved helping this couple plan their Maui Beach Wedding, especially since having a beach wedding was a childhood dream for Melissa. And we are thrilled we could help make her dream a reality! And to make it even more special they were joined by their closest family and friends, including their three kids.
About Melissa and Kasey
Melissa and Kasey have been together for 16 years! They enjoy anything with adventure, especially being out in nature. Some of their favorite hobbies are hiking, fishing, hunting, and beachcombing! Plus they also love to travel, and since neither of them had been to Hawaii before we love that they decided to get married here 🙂 .
Wedding Portraits
Melissa really wanted to take a photo on a driftwood log and the perfect one just so happened to be right next to where we were shooting the ceremony. So we were thrilled with how perfectly that worked out! She also really wanted shots with a rainbow and we even got one in the distance, it was so awesome!
Can you spot the rainbow?
We also made sure to capture some extra special shots of the two of them with their kids. And then the remainder of the session was spent just spoiling them and making them feel super special in front of the camera. The love they shared was contagious and everything about their wedding was just a dream!
Thank you, Melissa and Kasey, for giving Simple Maui Wedding the opportunity to be part of such a special Maui Beach Wedding! We loved working with you both and wish you all the best on the journey ahead. Congratulations and Warm Aloha!
