If you’ve ever wondered what pure, heartfelt magic looks like, Jesse and Morgan’s Maui beach wedding at Polo Beach is your answer.
Let’s rewind. Jesse, a U.S. Navy corpsman, and Morgan, a nursing student with a heart of gold, met in Naples, Italy back in 2014. Both were stationed there—two Master-at-Arms in uniform, crossing paths under the Mediterranean sun. But their love story didn’t officially begin until 2022. And when it did? It was everything.
Fast forward to Christmas in Chicago: Jesse, fresh from deployment, planned the ultimate surprise proposal at the top of the Willis Tower. A private glass skydeck, a secret photographer, the Nutcracker ballet, and family by their side—it was cinematic perfection, 110 stories up.
So when it came time to say “I do,” Hawaii called. And Maui, with its serene beaches and jaw-dropping beauty, was the dream destination. Keep reading to see how their incredible day unfolded in the sweetest way…
A Wedding Just for Three (and All the Love in the World)
Polo Beach was everything they hoped for—quiet, scenic, and the perfect spot to exchange vows without distraction. The warm breeze, the soft waves, and the golden light wrapped around them like a blessing. And with sweet Hollis (their adorable son!) by their side, it truly was a moment just for them.
It was private. It was peaceful. And it was perfect.
Jesse and Morgan’s love is built on respect, resilience, and deep admiration. Their Maui beach wedding wasn’t just a ceremony—it was a pause to be fully present, to soak up the joy, and to begin forever with sand between their toes.
From the moment the camera started clicking, the light was absolute gold. That perfect Maui sunset wrapped everything—Morgan’s stunning dress, Jesse’s proud smile, Hollis’s joyful energy—in a dreamy, honey-toned glow. The waves were calm, the breeze soft, and every photo looked like it belonged in a love story you never want to end.
Their portraits felt effortless and radiant. The way they looked at each other? Like the rest of the world just melted away. We captured giggles, forehead kisses, and that “just married” glow that only gets better with golden hour behind it.
Congratulations, Jesse & Morgan!
