Still Choosing You: Jeff & Jade’s Sunset Vow Renewal
Jeff and Jade’s Maui vow renewal was like something out of a movie, if that movie involved a dreamy beach, a flower circle bursting with color, and two sweet boys in matching suits.
They originally got engaged atop a snowy mountain in Park City (cue cozy scarves and misty breath), but twenty years later? They traded in the snow for golden sunshine and waves crashing at their feet. And honestly, we support the upgrade.
Polo Beach held a special kind of magic for these two; it’s where they wandered hand in hand when Jade was pregnant with Jonas, and where they returned two years ago while staying at the Grand Wailea. So when they decided to renew their vows, there was really no other place that felt quite as them.
Their sons, Jonas (12) and Jack (6), brought their own kind of magic to the day, full of curiosity, barefoot confidence, and just the right amount of mischief. Dressed in cream suits, they looked like mini groomsmen straight out of a Ralph Lauren ad.
The Life We Created
Jade, luminous in her gown, stood with Jeff in the middle of a vibrant tropical flower circle. As the sun dipped behind the horizon, casting warm peach and coral across the sky, they promised each other forever all over again.
They work hard, Jade in business development, Jeff in finance, but their kids are their why. This vow renewal was a love letter to the life they’ve built: full of devotion, travel, and the kind of slow, meaningful moments you wish you could bottle up.
Oh, the sunset. Maui clearly understood the assignment. The sky melted into sherbet hues, rose gold, tangerine, soft lavender, wrapping Jeff and Jade in the kind of light that makes photographers weep. Their portraits glowed with something more than color: a deep, quiet knowing. The way they looked at each other? You could tell they’d weathered storms and celebrated sunshine together.
And that’s the beauty of a vow renewal. It’s not just a re-do. It’s a recommitment. A pause. A “Hey, I still choose you—every day, through every season.” It’s proof that love doesn’t just survive the everyday chaos. It thrives in it.
Congratulations, you two! Here’s to 20 more years! It was an honor to coordinate this special day for you. Enjoy Maui with your boys!
