The Best Idea – Kaylee & Chris’ Maui Venue Wedding

Chris and Kaylee’s Maui venue wedding was a rom-com in the making, with extra sunshine, a dash of island breeze, and one very happy couple starring as themselves. Let’s start at the beginning: picture a nursing student and a future math teacher crossing paths in their college tutoring center. (Tell us that isn’t the beginning of a love story written in meet-cute heaven.) And spoiler alert: it only gets better from there.

Fast forward a little, Kaylee is now a newly minted RN ready to conquer the telemetry department, and Chris is juggling teaching dreams with Home Depot shifts. Their idea of a perfect date? Casual walks, little everyday adventures, and curling up with movies. Honestly, relationship goals.

One day, they saw a TikTok asking couples their dream vacation spot. Both immediately answered: Hawaii. And just like that, the seed was planted. Why not turn their wedding into a tropical dream, too? Cue their decision to skip the typical wedding stress and say “aloha” to a Maui destination wedding! Chris’s look when he sees Kaylee for the first time says it all!

A Dream Come True

Neither Chris nor Kaylee had been to Hawaii before; Chris hadn’t even left his home state! But when the big day arrived, they were all in: glowing, beaming, and ready to start forever under the island sun. Their wedding was simple, stunning, and full of genuine joy. They said “I do,” surrounded by tropical blooms and warm ocean air, with just enough breeze to make Kaylee’s veil flutter.

Every smile, every glance, every soft sunset hue told the story of two people who made the leap together. From tutoring center coworkers to island newlyweds, this Maui wedding was exactly the kind of magic they’d dreamed up together.

After their Maui venue wedding ceremony, we snuck away to the beach for their newlywed portraits, and let us just say: sunset on the Maui coastline knows how to do its thing. The sky lit up with soft pastels and golden rays, the waves hummed in the background, and these two just radiated joy. It was so beautiful that it felt cinematic but also totally real.

Chris and Kaylee’s wedding was sweet, simple, and full of meaning—exactly what they wanted. From happy tears at the altar to laughter by the waves, their day was a perfect reflection of their love: warm, genuine, and beautiful.

Congrats, lovebirds. May the rest of your story be just as golden! Enjoy your time in Hawaii! Aloha!
