Maui Beach Weddings

Khaye and Rupert’s Hawaii Beach Wedding took place on the shores of Maluaka with a handful of loved ones watching on. The day was lightly overcast with calm tradewinds and a gentle ocean backdrop. With love all around, Khaye and Rupert took the steps to become husband and wife. 

The Hawaii Beach Wedding

Khaye stepped onto the shore with a bouquet of Hawaiian blooms and a genuine look of love and affection. Wearing a form-fitting gown with floral applique and side accent cut-outs, Khaye is absolutely radiant. We love how the carefully plaited low bun highlights her neckline and frames her face.

When he laid eyes on her, Rupert broke into the sweetest smile. It was clear that these two were turning their dreams into reality.

Looking like a man living the dream, Rupert brings his own splash of style to the shore. We are so here for that scroll-patterned tie! But the most show-stopping elements at their Hawaii Beach Wedding were the sweet expressions flooded with love and gratitude.   

Our Couple’s Story

Khaye and Rupert met in the Philippines through a mutual friend. When they realized they had permanently moved to the US, they continued to keep in contact. After a friend-based trip to Oahu and five amazing days on the island, Rupert knew Khaye was special and he began contacting her more frequently. Soon, it was nothing but love! 

After dating for six years, they planned a vacation to Cancun for Khaye’s birthday. But Rupert had more than just cake in mind. When the moment was right, he asked Khaye to make him the luckiest person on the planet! The rest of their story is right here in the blog! 

Congratulations, Khaye and Rupert! It was a pleasure working with you, and we wish you all the very best in the years ahead!

Darya and Bryson’s Beach Wedding in Maui was blanketed in the golden morning sun. Southside Beach did the decorating for the special occasion, with piercing blue waters and a carpet of powder-soft sand. Only puffs of gentle white clouds sailed across the sky, making this incredible day a must-see tropical dream.

The Beach Wedding in Maui

Wearing a charcoal gray suit with a mosaic-tiled tie, Bryson looked out at the expansive view as he awaited his special someone. Making her entrance on the sand wearing an elegant, clean-cut gown by Vera Wang, Darya was simply stunning. With the endless warm glances and shared laughter between them, there was no question how perfect Darya and Bryson are for each other. 

Our Couple’s Story

Darya is in software sales and Bryson owns a personal training studio. They don’t have any kids but have their hands full with not one, but three dogs. They enjoy being outside and active and visiting new places, like Maui! This is Darya and Bryson’s first time in Hawaii, and what a memorable occasion it is! 

Darya and Bryson have known each other for some time, having met while she was training at his gym. They were both in relationships at the time, however, so things remained casual and friendly. It wasn’t until a couple of years ago that they reconnected through mutual friends. Both Darya and Bryson had expressed interest in each other, so they began talking on the phone and messaging on the weeks leading up to their big first date. By the time it came around, they felt like they’d already been dating! Keep scrolling for more of this sweet couple!  

Mahalo nui loa, Darya and Bryson, for selecting us to coordinate your beach wedding in Maui. You were a joy to work with, and we wish you all the best in the years ahead.

Delicate clouds speckled the expansive sky for Adriana and Chris’s Maui Micro Wedding. Set in front of a backdrop of ocean blue, our couple finalized an engagement of five years and blended their beautiful family of six. With loved ones watching on, this ceremony perfectly encapsulated the breezy beauty of a Hawaii beach wedding.

The Maui Micro Wedding

Ironwoods beach served as the sandy venue, decorated in golden sands and a sapphire blue sea with towering rock formations in the distance. Adriana made her entrance, looking stunning in a gown with drapery accents and a full button-down back. Sporting a tan linen suit and a megawatt smile, Chris was the walking embodiment of a happy groom! What could be better than celebrating the love of your life in pure paradise?! 

Reverend Kuya opened the ceremony, and our couple exchanged traditional leis and vows before the big “I do.” After a sweet bite of wedding cake, we took advantage of the gorgeous sunset and explored the striking backdrops of Ironwoods. Keep scrolling for more of this beautiful Maui Micro Wedding! 

Our Couple’s Story

Chris owns a landscaping company, and Adriana works for a general contractor company in the risk department. Together they have four children, a son and daughter from Chris and two daughters from Adriana. They met at work and have been together for roughly seven years. When Chris felt the moment was right, he proposed to Adriana on a casual Sunday with all her family there to celebrate!

And here they are, five years later and living the dream, getting married on an island where Adriana describes as a place “You can breathe peace and come back to the real world full of positive energy!!” We think that perfectly encapsulates this beautiful Micro Wedding in Maui! 

Congratulations, Adriana and Chris! Your Maui Micro Wedding was simply stunning, and we had a joy working with you. We wish you all the very best in the years ahead!

Serena and Daniel’s Maui Elopement was out of this world beautiful. Ironwoods Beach set the stage with rolling aquamarine tides and spectacular rock formations. With the sun blanketing the shore in golden light and a couple dressed to perfection and madly in love, this beach wedding is a must-see! 

The Maui Elopement

Wearing a tailored gown with elegant blouse draping, Serena made her entrance on the sandy shore and took our breath away. Daniel’s expression says it all. This is true love. To open the ceremony, Reverend Kimo trumpeted the conch shell for a traditional Hawaiian blessing, and Serena and Daniel embarked on the first steps to becoming a married couple. 

Okay, can we pause for just a second? How stunning is Serena?! She glows from the inside out. We’re lovin’ the beachy hair and her effortlessly beautiful style. But it’s her beaming smile and the happiness that radiates from her that truly sings in these gorgeous photos. It’s little wonder why she outshines the Maui sun. There are few things as special as finding your perfect match and knowing you’re on this journey together. 

Our Couple’s Story

Serena is a makeup artist content creator on Instagram, and Daniel is an IT auditor. They enjoy getting boba and doing pretty much anything in each others’ company. Friends for a while, Serena and Daniel have known each other since high school but only started dating in the summer of 2017. When the time was right, Daniel proposed in March of 2021 in a Minneapolis park, and now, here they are–saying “I do” at their tropical and elegant Maui Elopement! 

Mahalo nui loa, Serena and Daniel, for trusting us with your Maui Elopement. We wish you all the happiness and joy in your journey ahead.

Stephanie and Sam’s Beach Wedding in Maui featured sweeping ocean views and the wild tropics of the island’s northern coast. The day was bright and sunny, with a speckling of cloud coverage and plenty of Paia’s famous trade winds. This special union was the perfect blend of beauty and rustic elegance. 

The Beach Wedding in Maui

When Stephanie made her entrance through the woods of Baldwin Beach, Sam’s look of pure joy was unforgettable. And we get why! Wearing a glittering gown in a shade of caramel to match the soft sands, Stephanie is simply stunning. Her elegant up-do perfectly frames her lovely face, and the gilded tiara kept it secure in the playful winds.

Led by Reverend Kuya, Stephanie and Sam shared their vows while standing in a flower circle of blooms to match the bride’s bouquet. Traditional ceremony arches are restricted on public beaches, so this ring of beauty “lei’d” in its place. We love how serene and genuine Stephanie and Sam are as they tie their lives together. This Beach Wedding in Maui was flooded with love! 

Our Couple’s Story

Stephanie and Sam met while working in a skilled nursing facility. She’s employed as a speech-language pathologist, and Sam is a physical therapy assistant. They remained just friends for a year before dating and were engaged on a cruise in 2019. Stephanie has a young daughter from a previous marriage, and Sam has blossomed into a wonderful parent.

Paige and Eric, like so many of our wonderful couples, had to postpone their 2020 Maui Beach Wedding. But they didn’t give up on their dream! One year later and here they are, saying “I do” on the glittering shore with the sweeping ocean views in the backdrop! Get ready for plenty of love and the blushing shades of a spectacular Maui sunset! 

Paige made her debut on the arm of her adoring father, wearing a chiffon dress with floral applique and a cathedral-length train. Eric turned, taking in the view of the love of his life walking towards him. Paige and Eric were married prior to their Maui Beach Wedding, but when Paige crossed the threshold of sand, the moment was pure first-look magic.

Reverend Richardo officiated the ceremony with wise words and his infectious smile. With heartfelt vows and a dip worthy of a Hollywood film, Paige and Eric were officially Maui’d! Keep scrolling for the cute portraits with loved ones and one of the prettiest cotton-candy sunsets! 

One of the reasons we love Southside Beach is because of its expansive westward-facing views. The sunset is literally directly behind our radiant couple! Is there a more romantic photobomber for your Maui Beach Wedding than the tropical sun?! But even the gorgeous sunset couldn’t compare when it came to the romantic glances and tender moments shared between Paige and Eric. This is truly a romance written in the stars. 

Congratulations, Paige and Eric! We had a joy working with you to create your dream Maui Beach Wedding We hope you had a wonderful celebratory meal at Nick’s Fish Market, and we wish you all the best in the years ahead!

Simply lovely is the perfect way to describe Kristen and Adam’s beach wedding in Maui. With their two sweet children at their side, our couple said “I do” in front of the sweeping views of Ironwoods Beach. Having to postpone their wedding plans for almost a year, this Big Day was highly anticipated and filled to the brim with excitement. 

The Beach Wedding in Maui Location 

Ironwoods Beach perfectly encapsulates the wild beauty of the island. A Beach Wedding in Maui along this shoreline is bound to feature dramatic ocean scapes and striking rocky cliffs. Kristen always knew this was the beach she and Adam would say “I do” on:

“When we first landed in Maui in September, I took Adam and my parents (who have never been to Maui), to Ironwoods beach.  They all fell in love with it, and to this day say that was their favorite spot.  The walkway, lava rock, and views were captivating.  When it came down to picking our location, it was a no-brainer.” And we’re certain she made a perfect choice! Just look how this beautiful family glows against the shore! 

Our Couple’s Story

Adam works in audiovisual installation, and Kristen is a nurse practitioner and the proud stepmom of Alyssa and Tyler. Their love story is beautiful, and Kristen does such a good job at telling it, we just have to share it in her words: “We met through my last job and knew each other for many months before going on our first date…which I remember calling my mom after and saying, ‘That was the best first date I’ve ever been on! We laughed, we skipped, and our conversation was so easy.'”

“Adam and I talk about the moment we first held hands, I remember where we were standing in downtown Cleveland and the feeling I felt when it happened.  That exact place is where he proposed two years later on the anniversary of our first date.” 

“We came to Maui in September of 2018 as a couple, along with my parents to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary.  I’ll never forget floating in the pool and saying…. ‘I can picture us getting Maui’d someday.  Here with the kids and our family by our side to celebrate our love.’  Well, now we get to make that our reality.” 

A reality so lovely it’s almost dreamlike. Keep scrolling for more of this luminous couple!

Congratulations, Kristen and Adam! We had a wonderful time coordinating your Beach Wedding in Maui, and we wish you all the best in the years ahead!

Crisha and Jeff’s Maui Beach Wedding was enveloped by sapphire blue waters, which was perfect, considering Crisha is a police officer–a hero in blue. Ironwoods Beach in Kapalua brought the glowing lighting and powder-soft sands, while Crisha and Jeff brought all the love and wedding day vibes! 

The Maui Beach Wedding

The ceremony opened with Crisha’s father walking her down the sandy aisle as Jeff turned to take in the view of his future wife. No Bridal Chorus to keep rhythm, just the deep notes of the conch shell and the gentle hum of the ocean. It was truly a beautiful moment. We loved the genuine and sweet smiles shared by our couple as they exchanged vows and celebrated their Maui Beach Wedding with their guests. 

Our Couple’s Story

We mentioned it earlier, but it needs to be said again–Crisha is a police officer (Thank you for your service!)–and Jeff works as an engineer. Crisha and Jeff met through mutual friends, and one of them was named “the gym.” They both love to workout, but when they first made each other’s acquaintance, Crisha was busy completing the Police Academy, and Jeff didn’t want to be the guy who hits on a girl at the gym. So it took them months to finally start dating!

But they didn’t hold back when it came to couple’s adventures. Crisha and Jeff were engaged on the beach… in Jamaica! Now their engagement journey comes to an end, and the beauty of married life begins with a Maui Beach Wedding. Keep scrolling for more great moments from this gorgeous couple!   

Mahalo, Crisha and Jeff, for selecting us to coordinate your Maui Beach Wedding. It was a joy working with you, and we wish you all the happiness in the years ahead.

Debra and Marlo wanted an easy, relaxing, and fun wedding, so they figured what better way than to elope in Maui! Ironwoods set the stage with luminous views of the Pacific Ocean and plenty of sand for our couple to sink their feet into. We could not get enough of the fun energy shared between Debra and Marlo on their wedding day. Read on for all the sweet moments!

Why They Chose to Elope in Maui

Over the last ten years, Debra has been visiting Maui with her girlfriends to celebrate her birthday. The islands have a special place in her heart. Debra and Marlo even plan to one day buy a house and join the community, to which we say, Aloha! What better place to elope than in your happy place? It was clear that Debra and Marlo seemed right at home. Marlo even sported slippers on his wedding day!

Our Couple’s Story

Debra and Marlo met online through a matchmaking service. After a local Starbucks meetup, they knew romance was in the stars! They have five children between them, Debra’s two sons and Marlo’s three daughters. They both enjoy doing projects around the house and playing with their Golden Retriever, Teddy. 

Together for five years, Debra and Marlo have a great engagement story! While she was working in the hospital and getting ready to escort a patient into surgery for a cesarean, Debra heard someone say, “Why is that man in a tuxedo?” She took a quick peek in the security camera, and sure enough, there was Marlo, waiting by the entrance doors to her ward.

In full scrubs (with a mask and hat), Debra raced towards him. As soon as Marlo saw her, he plunged a hand into his jacket pocket. But before he could do anything, Debra announced, “You can’t do this right now! But will you ask me again soon?” Later that night, they went for a drive to get an ice cream cone, and there in the car, Marlo popped the big question. And, of course, she said YES! Keep scrolling for more of this beautiful couple!  

Mahalo, Debra and Marlo, for selecting us to help you elope in Maui and make your wedding day dreams come true. You were so much fun to work with. We wish you all the happiness in the years ahead and send our fondest Aloha.

Brought together by their older sisters who just “knew,” Ashley and Alex celebrated their love with a Maui Beach Elopement on the shore of Ironwoods. The day was magical with soft lighting and the crisp, salty air dreams are made of. From the moment Reverend Kuya blew the conch shell, Ashley and Alex were all smiles and joyous to be joined through marriage. 

Our Couple’s Story

Ashley and Alex’s older sisters work together, and one day they got to talking and realized they both had brilliant and available younger siblings. Cue destiny! One thing led to the next, and now Ashley and Alex are proudly celebrating six years together! Great job, sis and sis! Together they have two furbabies, a dog named Maeve and Eleanor the cat. Ashley and Alex are “old souls” and love the simple things in life, a good game of Scrabble, a hike or visit to a museum, and an old-fashioned Chicago Pizza.

The Maui Beach Elopement Location

Situated on the westernmost point of the islands, Ironwoods features dramatic rock formations that resemble the cliffs of Ireland. Seen only on Maui, lava flow as recent as 1,200 years ago formed the plunging cliffs of Kapalua. Paired with the world-famous “Jaws” sized waves of the western coast, and the result is unparalleled rustic beauty.

Speaking of unparalleled beauty, how gorgeous are these Maui Beach Elopement shots?! We loved all the sweet lean-ins and gentle caresses shared between Ashley and Alex. 

Congratulations, Ashley and Alex! Thank you for trusting us to coordinate your Maui Beach Elopement! It was truly wonderful to get to know you, and we wish you all the best in the years ahead!

Amy knows that she and Russ are “soulmates,” and it seems a Micro Wedding in Maui was written in the stars for these two. With COVID canceling all of their prior Big Day plans and with a trip to Maui already planned, the island was the perfect sandy venue for Amy and Russ to say, “I do.” Come see all of the joy and love of their very special day!

The Micro Wedding in Maui 

There was magic in the air when Amy graced the shore. Reverend Kimo blew the conch shell as the ocean lapped gently in the background. Amy and Russ had four special guests in attendance, Amy’s daughter and two of the couple’s best friends. But another very special guest made a surprise appearance. A Hawaiian monk seal rolled onto the shore to bask in the sun and the warm glow of Amy and Russ’ union.

Our Couple’s Story

Amy is a realtor in Buffalo NY and Ft. Myers Florida, and also owns a small bookkeeping business. Russ is a retired business professor with an accounting business called Small Business Resources.

Amy and Ross met in 1990 and dated for a year shortly afterward. Sixteen years later, they rekindled their friendship, and it was like finding their missing piece. Amy says, “We are soulmates, and we think almost exactly alike at times. It’s creepy!” But because Amy was recently divorced and her children were still young, they waited to progress things forward.

They were at last engaged in 2019 and the joy and love they radiated during their Micro Wedding in Maui was unparalleled! Just look at how genuine those smiles are! A circle of flowers, the ocean keeping tempo, the love of your life holding your hand, does a first dance get much better than this? Keep scrolling for all the sweet moments shared between these soulmates!!

Congratulations, Amy and Russ! It was a joy coordinating your Maui Micro Wedding! We wish you only the best in the years ahead. You have our fondest Aloha.

With only their adorable 20-month-old son in attendance, Hannah and Colby’s Hawaii Beach Elopement was filled to the brim with love and sunshine! On the shore of Poʻolenalena Beach, the weather was textbook “tropical goodness,” with soft skies and warm ocean breezes. It was truly a blessing to work with Hannah and Colby and their sweet son EJ to make this special day a reality. 

The Hawaii Beach Elopement Ceremony 

In quite possibly the cutest entrance we’ve ever seen, baby EJ walked Hannah down the aisle (with a little help from Mom, of course). Wearing a form-fitting gown with bead threading and a mermaid-flair train, Hannah even had the Maui ocean temporarily pausing in its tracks. We loved her beachy hairstyle with a floral demi-circle to match her rustic Hawaiian bouquet.

Sporting a beige jacket and a cabana print button-up by Ralph Lauren, Colby looks right at home against the backdrop of palm trees and sweeping ocean views. And of course, in a blue coral-themed shirt and adorable rolled up pants to match his dad, EJ is the perfect little guest of honor. We love how professional he was in his role! How cute is that face?!

Our Couple’s Story 

Hannah has her doctorate in psychology and has been taking a much-needed break to raise their sweet toddler. She recently accepted a position to work with kids with behavioral needs at the Yellowstone Academy in their home state of Montana!

Colby is a public affairs specialist for the US Department of Interior. He’s also studied media, produced short films, and worked as a photojournalist and video producer for the US Navy. His work has been published by news outlets like CNN and last year made the cover of The Economist Magazine!

Hannah and Colby’s “meet cute” is one of the best we’ve heard! Colby was visiting his brother-in-law’s tattoo shop when his brother-in-law snapped a photo of Colby and posted it on his own Facebook page. He told all of his followers that Colby was available and looking for love, and those interested should stop by the shop!

And who should walk through the door first but Hannah herself! She admits to seeing the post beforehand but SWEARS she had an appointment. She walked in expecting a tattoo on the skin and left with one on her heart as well. Beautiful impressions like these last a lifetime. Keep scrolling for more of this sweet family! 

Mahalo, Hannah and Colby, for trusting us with your Hawaii beach elopement. It was a beautiful day, and we had a wonderful time sharing it with you and your cutie. We wish you only the best in the years ahead!
