Lauren and Ian grew up in the same neighborhood, and their beach elopement in Hawaii was over twenty years in the making! They both dreamed of a destination wedding but hadn’t truly considered Hawaii until the pandemic made traveling difficult. Enter the wedding of a lifetime on the sandy, tropical shore! 

The Beach Elopement in Hawaii

Reverend Kirkman began the ceremony with the traditional conch as Lauren graced the shore. Just as when Lauren and Ian first laid eyes on each other so many years ago, it was clear that fate brought them to this moment. Lauren looked stunning in a boho gown and her hair in a loose plait. We love how our couple’s classic attire paired against the rustic shore. A final blow of the conch announced their first kiss as husband and wife, and the magic was tangible! 

Our Couple’s Story

Neither remembers when Ian first moved next door, but it was somewhere between the ages of nine and twelve. While they first did their own things due to an age difference, the attraction was always there. It wasn’t until college, when they returned home, that they found their soulmate connection. Life brought them together and took them apart, but when the time was right, they realized it was meant to be. 

During a photo session, Ian got down on one knee to ask the big question. It was the perfect moment and Lauren’s reaction was captured forever on film! Keep scrolling for our couple’s gorgeous beach elopement in Hawaii! 

Mahalo nui loa, Lauren and Ian, for selecting us to coordinate your beach elopement in Hawaii! We wish you all the happiness in the years to come!

It was our pleasure to help Nicole and Mark elope in Maui. With a big ceremony out of the question, our couple had a simple yet elegant elopement just last week. It was the perfect way to tie the knot in the heart of paradise. 

Elope in Maui 

The ceremony took place on the white sands of Southside Beach. Nicole and Mark arrived separately and that first look was pure magic. As Nicole stepped onto the beach, her beauty and smile were radiant! She said she was nervous, but you couldn’t tell with a glow like that! Mark turned to see his bride and it felt like we were getting a glimpse of their future. Nothing but love! 

When choosing to elope in Maui, Nicole and Mark knew they wanted to have beautiful photos to share with loved ones back home. Karma Hill Photography went above and beyond to capture the love and magic on their special day. In addition to photos, Nicole and Mark also had stunning footage captured by Gaucho Visual so friends and family could relive each moment with them. 

After the ceremony, Nicole and Mark shared a first dance to a song only they could hear. With a phone tucked into his jacket pocket, Mark pressed play and held his new wife close as they swayed to the melody. It was intimate and oh so romantic. 

Our Couple’s Story

Nicole and Mark met while working together, but because they were in different offices, they had to make it work long-distance. Until one day when Nicole realized Mark was the one and uprooted to move to St. Petersburg to be with him and his three incredible sons!

Nicole and Mark were engaged during a sail in Key Largo, Florida. Mark got down on his knee during sunset, and, of course, Nicole said yes! And now our couple eloped on the beach and spent the first few moments as husband and wife beneath the Maui sunset. Keep scrolling for more! 

Thank you, Nicole and Mark, for choosing us to help you elope in Maui! You rocked it! We wish you all the joy in the future!

Judging from their bright and airy Maui beach elopement, you’d never guess that Megan and Russel love all things spooky! This amazing couple was married last week on the shore of Baldwin Beach with a peachy sunset and all the beautiful smiles! We were thrilled to be able to coordinate their big day! 

The Maui Beach Elopement 

To showcase their personalities, our couple wore unique outfits that perfectly melded with the Hawaiian shore. We love how Megan’s Rustic Hawaiian Bouquet adds a bold dash of the tropics and pairs beautifully with her delicate flower crown. Russel looked fantastic in a traditional suit with a splash of blue.

Reverend Kuya officiated the ceremony, and Gaucho Visual broadcasted the event live to friends and family back home with our “Wish You Were Here” package. It was the perfect way to bridge an elopement into a celebration with loved ones. 

Our Couple’s Story

Megan and Russel told us such a fun story about how they met, that we want to share it with you! From our bride: “We were actually set up on a trip to Hollywood Studios during the Halloween Horror Nights Fest. His sister (one of my best friends) and her friend tried to get us to meet for the longest time, but it never worked out–either I was sick or bailed, or he was busy. After we met, we went on a few dates to haunted houses coupled with mini-golf and roller coasters, and became inseparable.”

“It probably sounds silly, but we love standing in lines together because it’s so reminiscent of when we met. As for our engagement, we planned a trip together to the coast where my family has a ragged old cabin that hasn’t been touched since the 70s, and hands down one of our favorite places in the world. Before the trip, I hand-painted a puzzle to look like the scene in The Shining when the doors open in the hotel, and painted backwards “Will you marry me?” Clearly, he said yes.”

How amazing are these two?! Keep scrolling for more!

Congratulations, Megan and Russel! Thank you for trusting us with coordinating your Maui Beach Elopement! We hope you have plenty of booo-tiful adventures together in the years ahead!

With neither one of them wanting to plan a large ceremony, Genevieve & Paul were considering a simple wedding in the courthouse but opted for a Hawaii elopement instead. And it was truly beautiful! Set on the shore of Po’olenalena, this ceremony was golden and relaxing. 

The Hawaii Elopement

It was a vibrant day and Genevieve & Paul were clearly excited to be married. Wearing classic styles that perfectly complemented their breezy ceremony, our couple could not stop smiling and taking in the view of the ocean — and of each other! Reverend Richardo officiated the ceremony, and soon the finances became husband and wife! 

Our Couple’s Story

Genevieve & Paul are the sort of couple that just go with the flow. What matters is being together and forming memories in each other’s company. Genevieve & Paul were engaged in the most simple way. Paul asked Genevieve to marry him as she was getting out of the shower. She was definitely surprised, but she said yes! 

Together, Genevieve & Paul love to spend time with friends. Camping, jetskiing, practically anything outdoors makes them happy! They met in 2008 while working together at the mall at Journeys shoe store. Now they have two adorable kitties together and enjoy simply relaxing and watching basketball games. Keep scrolling for more of this sweet couple! 

Congratulations, Genevieve & Paul! Thank you for selecting us to coordinate your Hawaii elopement. You were a joy to work with and we wish you only the best in the future!

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!”

Mahalo nui loa, Joanna and Eric! We wish you a bright and joyous future!

Last week, Sunday and Mike had the sweetest Maui beach elopement with their cute children serving as flower girl and ring bearer. There was no need to decorate for this beautiful ceremony because Po’olenalena Beach had all the sparkle! It was a gorgeous morning with crisp ocean breezes and soft sands. 

The Maui Beach Elopement

Our couple’s daughter opened up the ceremony with her cute smile and delicate petal-tossing. Her adorable grim was contagious! Then her beautiful mom stepped out onto the shore and the day felt even brighter! Mike watched as the love of his life walked towards him, and you could feel the excitement and joy in the air. 

Reverend Kuya officiated the ceremony with warmth and his joyous personality. The traditional Hawaiian lei exchange confirmed Sunday and Mike’s commitment with a touch of culture and elegance. The ceremony was simple and beautiful in all the right ways. 

After the “I do’s” our couple and their sweet family were ready to celebrate! Our team at Karma Hill Photography captured Sunday and Mike with a custom “Just Maui’d” sign, perfect for showcasing their beautiful union! Then it was time for high-fives and enjoying the sunlight! We could not get enough of their amazing energy and happiness! Keep scrolling for all the precious moments!

Because they got engaged IN the ocean, Miranda and DJ figured they should get married at the ocean! And what better reason to have a Maui Beach Elopement? The morning at Ironwoods glistened in brilliant shades of aquamarine and sapphire, and with their three beautiful children celebrating beside them, it was the perfect way to tie the knot and step into marriage. 

The Maui Beach Elopement

For their Maui Beach Elopement, Miranda and DJ chose a morning ceremony. The tropical brilliance of an early ceremony is take-your-breath-away lovely. Just look at that glowing ocean… and take a look at that glowing bride and groom! We loved how Miranda and DJ wore shades to complement the Hawaiian shore.

Before the ceremony began, our couple tossed flowers into the ocean to honor their parents. It was a beautiful and touching moment. 

After they promised their vows and unified their marriage, Miranda and DJ’s sweet babies joined them for a toast of apple cider right there on the beach! There were smiles and cheers (and giggles) all around! 

Our Couple’s Story

Miranda and DJ first crossed paths in college, but it wasn’t until 2014 when DJ reached out on Instagram and the romance began. After becoming official in 2015, it was a fast track to love! They were blessed with their first son in 2016 and were engaged in 2019. DJ popped the big question in Cozumel, Mexico while they were swimming in the ocean by the dock. And now they’ve come full circle, saying their “I do’s” with the ocean sprays on their shoulders! 

Congratulations, Miranda and DJ! We wish you and your family all the very best in the decades ahead!

Maluaka Beach was sunny and magical for Katie and Jordan’s Hawaii Beach Elopement. Golden sunshine and radiant aqua blues painted the scene for this beautiful couple. When deciding how to get married, Katie and Jordan just knew an elopement was the way to go. So when a trip to Maui was booked with a small group of family and friends, they thought: what better time? 

The Hawaii Beach Elopement 

Katie and Jordan arrived at the beach separately so they wouldn’t see each other before they arrived. Standing side by side with Kahu Euta, Jordan looked over the luminous seascape before turning to take in his even more luminous bride. Wearing a classic princess-cut gown with lace accents, Katie was beyond beautiful and beaming with endless love.

We’re all about how this hands-on bride altered her own gown to be more beach-friendly, snipping off the long train and using some of the material to decorate her bouquet. It was the perfect beachy alteration! Although they eloped, Katie was sure to celebrate her loved ones, carrying a pin her aunt made with their names in it. 

When it came time to share their vows, Katie read from her phone, speaking heartfelt words she’d penned with love and thought. Jordan decided not to write his vows, and instead spoke from his soul, right there on the spot. Once Kahu Euta declared Katie and Jordan husband and wife, beachgoers snorkeling in the ocean popped their heads out to cheer them on. It was the cutest moment and so classically “Maui’d in Paradise”! 

Our Couples Story

Katie and Jordan met in college, and after four years of growing closer, Jordan knew he wanted to grow forever with Katie. During a very special outing, he took her to her family’s Italian restaurant in San Diego, Isola. Surrounded by warmth and happy memories, he asked Katie to marry him, and the rest is history! Keep scrolling for more of this amazing Hawaii Beach Elopement and more of our beautiful couple!

One week ago, Kelly and Joshua chose to elope in Maui, Hawaii and now they’re happily Maui’d! Throughout her childhood, Kelly visited the island so frequently it became a second home. So when it came to deciding the location for their elopement, it was a no-brainer! Southside Beach put on all the golden sparkle, with clear skies and gentle tides. The wedding was relaxing, beautiful, and shared with best friends.

The moment Kelly and Joshua’s eyes met was pure magic. This is what love looks like. The joy and excitement was tangible. There’s no question that these sweethearts are meant to be!

Celebrating the occasion with them, were Kelly and Joshua’s closest friends and their two adorable cuties! We loved the energy of this whole crew! From the glowing bride and groom to the cheering friends and the kiddos that didn’t hesitate to plop down in the sand and start digging!

There’s no wrong way to elope in Maui, but this way is definitely one of the right ways! When you’ve got a happiness that bubbles and shines like this, you can’t go wrong!

Our Couple’s Story

Kelly and Joshua met while attending the same college, but it wasn’t until after they tossed their grad caps that the romance began. Now they’ve been together for 8 years and inching up to a decade! They recently bought their first home-sweet-home where they love to cuddle their two fur babies, Mason and Cooper.

Kelly and Joshua shared their big engagement moment with Charlie and Brian and their two kids, who happen to be the four guests in attendance at the wedding! Now their love story comes full circle with an intimate beach elopement! Keep scrolling for more of this happy couple!

Congratulations, Kelly and Joshua! It was a gorgeous day and we had a wonderful time getting to know you and help make your dreams to elope in Maui, Hawaii come true! We wish you all the happiness in the years ahead!

Adriana & Jonathan’s Maui Beach Elopement was a dreamy and romantic event. They wed at sunset on Maui’s North Shore, where the setting sun surrounded them with whimsical glow. Reverend Richardo officiated their Hawaiian ceremony, and they shared a first dance right on the beach! This worry-free wedding was a perfect fit for this barefoot pair.

About Our Couple

Adriana & Jonathan have actually known each other since they were in daycare, but they don’t remember that far back. Years later, Jonathan became best friends with Adriana’s brother. This gave our couple a chance to get to know each other, and eventually in college they fell in love!

They began dating on a beach trip to Florida. Adriana still has the clam shell turtle souvenir that Jonathan bought her on that trip. When Jonathan was ready to propose to Adriana, he took that very same turtle to that very same store, hid a ring inside, and popped the question. What a thoughtful and romantic guy!

Back home in Virginia, this sweet couple work at the same company. They are parents to an adorable toddler who is the light of their life. These hardworking parents definitely deserve some rest and relaxation during their Maui beach elopement trip!

Including Family in a Maui Beach Elopement

Adriana & Jonathan decided on a Maui wedding with just the two of them. As much as they wanted to share their big day with their loved ones, it became hard to plan something back home. Since they had already booked a Hawaii Honeymoon, they decided to have an elopement here too.

You could tell that their family was in their hearts as they celebrated their love. They booked Live Maui Webcasts to stream the ceremony online, and they were sure to get lots of photos from Karma Hill Photography.

These sweet newlyweds still hope to have a big church ceremony at home when the timing is right. That way the get the best of both worlds – a simple Maui beach elopement AND the chance to marry with all their loved ones there!

Congratulations, Adriana & Jonathan! We are so grateful we got to be a part of your Maui elopement, and we wish you all the best!

Pamela & André married last week at a beautiful Hawaii Beach Elopement. They were absolutely dazzling in the late afternoon light as they shared their vows and rings. The scenery at Southside Beach in Maui offered a perfect background for their ceremony, and we’re excited to share these stunning photos from Karma Hill Photography!

About Our Couple

Pamela and André met at work and ended up falling in love! They’re a busy pair who love experiencing different foods and taking road trips with their dog Chanel. André has one daughter, and Pamela has four children and nine grandchildren. Yes, you read that right! This glowing bride is a grandmother, nine times over!

Every year these sweethearts visit the same restaurant where they had their first date. Sitting at the same table where they first connected as a couple, André asked Pamela to marry him. And of course she said yes!

Once it was time to plan a wedding, they quickly realized a Hawaii Beach Elopement was perfect for them. Maui is Pamela’s favorite island, so she was eager to show her new husband around!

An Upgraded Experience

Pamela & André booked a Hawaii Beach Elopement package that included everything needed for a sweet wedding. But to make their day a little extra special, they selected some optional upgrades as well!

While they didn’t have any guests at their Maui beach wedding, they still had a little reception – just the two of them. They had a live musician for their first dance, and then they had a cake cutting and toast. The radiant pair also took special photos with Simple Maui Wedding’s exclusive Just Maui’d circle sign. We love how those shots turned out!

Tara & Tommy had the most stunning Maui elopement at Southside Beach last week! Their intimate morning ceremony featured calm waters, clear views, and a quiet beach. Opting for an elopement allowed them to focus on what truly matters – their new marriage and their sweet kids!

Reverend Richardo offered a Hawaiian Blessing, and the couple wrote their own vows for each other. What a great way to make an elopement ceremony even more meaningful!

About Our Couple

Tara & Tommy met over 20 years ago, before either one of them were married or had kids. Once they were single again, they reconnected through Social Media. Tara said it was a random re-connection, but we think it might be fate!

These sweethearts got engaged in February of 2020. They’re a long distance couple, so it’s been an especially challenging engagement. We’re so glad that everything worked out for them to have a Maui elopement this summer! They had just two guests with them, and we couldn’t dream of a more adorable new family. Look at how their children are simply glowing!

I Do, and I Tattoo

We love the portraits that Karma Hill Photography captures at each Maui elopement. Tara & Tommy are naturals in front of the camera. We especially love how Tara’s dress and bouquet highlight her gorgeous tattoos. And is that a tattoo we see on her new husband too?

Cinemaui provided videography for Tara & Tommy, so they’ll have both photos and videos to share with all their loved ones back home!

Tara & Tommy are the sweetest pair, and we know they have a lifetime of love an happiness ahead of them. We’re so grateful we got to be a part of their Maui wedding!
