Joanna & Ericʻs Sweet Maui Beach Wedding and Trash the Dress

July 23, 2021

BACK

After realizing it would be difficult to gather all their friends and family under COVID restrictions, Joanna and Eric decided to have a small and breezy Maui beach wedding. They wanted their special day to be simple, dreamy, serene, and intimate. Consider their wishlist granted! This wedding was everything and more.

The Maui Beach Wedding

Set on the sweeping sands of Southside Beach, Joanna and Eric tied the knot in one of the most beautiful places on earth. Together since college, the love and friendship shared between these two is undeniable. When they first met, their friends referred to Joanna and Eric as “soul friends,” and now they’re also “soul mates.”

We love the retro yet classic look of our couple. Wearing a bodice-hugging gown with gorgeous lace accents and warm and fresh makeup, Joanna is absolutely beautiful. Eric sported the perfect wedding attire without the jacket for a toned-down, beach-friendly look. But the best thing they wore were their adoring expressions, just look at these two!

After the ceremony, our Karma Hill Photography met up again with Joanna and Eric for some dreamy trash the dress moments! Enjoy their adorable story as you scroll through the stunning images!

Our Couple’s Story

Joanna and Eric met at a week-long summer camp with TRS. They hit it off immediately as if they’d known each other for years! Our Bride shared a wonderful story about their engagement, and we’d like to share it with you.

From our bride: “This past February, Eric planned and executed a perfect romantic week before popping the question. On February 13th, Eric surprised me with a stay-at-home date night: sushi making and sake tasting! He bought all the ingredients and supplies needed, and we made our own sushi and tasted yummy sake. The next day, Valentine’s Day, Eric surprised me with horseback riding on Folsom Lake!”

“Afterwards, we went wine tasting outdoors. The following day, Eric surprised me yet again and took me zip lining at a local outdoor adventure park. That night, Eric told me to pack a suitcase because we would be leaving for a trip the next morning! On February 16th, we drove to San Luis Obispo County, on California’s central coast, to begin our getaway.”

”Eric dropped me off for a mani-pedi, and then we got ready for dinner. Eric told me we would have dinner delivered on the beach. When we got to Shell Beach, Eric said we had to wait a few minutes for the food to arrive. We started taking pictures. At one point, Eric told me to turn around so that he could get a picture of me staring off into the sunset. When I turned around, Eric was on one knee holding out a ring and telling me all the things he loves about me. I don’t remember a single thing Eric said, but I definitely said YES!”
