Lisa and James confess that they “Love, love, LOVE Maui!” So, of course, they wanted to tie the knot with a Maui elopement! Ironwoods beach was the original plan, but rain was in the forecast, so we decided to relocate to the friendly skies of Lahaina Shores. With boats speckling the horizon and swaying palms in the backdrop, this Maui elopement was filled with beauty and a strong sense of unity. 

Our Couple’s Story

Lisa is a semi-retired banker, and James is a jack of all trades, working as an electrician and owning both real estate and a restaurant. Their marriage ties together two families, Lisa’s three girls and James’ son, daughter, and granddaughter. These two have plenty to smile about!

Lisa and James chose a Maui elopement because it was a natural choice. As we said earlier, they simply LOVE the island! So much so, that they even bought a condo! Consider the honeymoon lodgings covered!

Lisa and James met through business dealings nearly 20 years ago, but it wasn’t until five years ago when they embarked on their first date. After that, it didn’t take long before they were engaged in Chicago, and now here they are! Keep scrolling for all the sweet moments of this Maui elopement! 

Thank you, Lisa and James, for choosing us to coordinate your Maui elopement. It was wonderful getting to know you both, and we hope to see you again for couple’s portraits sometime soon! Until then, we wish you all the best in the decades ahead!

Jessica and Robert’s Maui Beach Elopement graced the powder-soft sands of Ironwoods Beach in Kapalua. Dynamic cloud coverage created soft lighting that cast the ceremony in dreamy tones of peaches and cream. With a beautiful couple and an endless love between them, this special day was flooded with positivity and those magical “Just Maui’d” vibes. 

The Maui Elopement Beach Location

When you’re looking for take-your-breath-away backdrops, it doesn’t get better than Ironwoods Beach. Tucked away on the island’s west coast, Ironwoods features plunging cliffs and spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean. This locale is truly “epic” in the most traditional definition of the word. What could possibly be more awe-inspiring than the beat of the ocean against the cliffside? Well, maybe we can think of something… Jessica and Robert’s love story! The deep looks and smiles shared between these two say everything. 

What They Wore 

Draped in an illusion-back gown by Jenny Yoo Elinor, Jessica is absolutely radiant. We love the subtle eye-contours of applique floral designs. With a cathedral train that elegantly drifts over the sandy shore and a flower crown in pastel hues to match her rustic Hawaiian bouquet, Jessica is an effortless beauty. 

Keeping it clean and simple, Robert looks beach-wedding ready in a short-sleeved button-down with khaki slacks and a perfect pair of loafers with woven accents. Keep scrolling for more of this amazing couple! 

Thank you, Jessica and Robert, for trusting us with your beautiful Maui Beach Elopement. We had a wonderful time getting to know you and helping to make your dream come true. We know your marriage will be strong and successful, and we wish you all the best in the many years ahead!

For Zoey and Jasper’s Maui Beach Elopement, the island brought her A-game! The sky at Maluaka Beach was vivid and the breeze from the ocean was warm and salty. Boats drifted on the sweeping horizon as the couple said “I do.” There’s no question that Zoey and Jasper’s love is eternal. 

The Maui Beach Elopement Location

Maluaka Beach is a stretch of white sand just past Wailea. Zoey and Jasper were glowing against the gentle waters and lush, tropical backdrops. With the silhouettes of Kahoʻolawe and Lanai fading against the horizon and the rolling greenery of Makena Hill, their Maui Beach Elopement was filled with the natural beauty of the island. It was a suiting spot for such a naturally beautiful couple.

Our Couple’s Story

When Zoey received a friend request from Jasper on Facebook, she had no idea it would lead to marriage. At just fourteen, these two were busy with high school academics… but there’s no waiting for love! When it happens, it happens! And soon, Zoey and Jasper knew they’d found their person. 

They both love hiking, so Jasper set up a very special hike to the top of Mt. Ebert. He invited his brother to join them, but Zoey was in the dark that bro was just the designated photographer. Once they reached the top, Jasper popped the question. She, of course, said yes. We’re pretty sure it wasn’t just the mountain that made them both feel like they were on top of the world.

It was impossible not to feel the love radiating from this adorable couple during their Maui Beach Elopement–Jasper even carried Zoey down to the beach! Their genuine smiles and handwritten vows were the sweetest thing! Keep scrolling for all the bubbly and endearing love from this special couple!

Thank you, Zoey and Jasper, for choosing us to coordinate your Maui Beach Elopement. It was wonderful getting to know you both, and we wish you all the best in the years ahead.

Rachel & Michael’s initial wedding plan didn’t include a Maui elopement. They originally planned to get married in their home state of Minnesota. With the pandemic all around them and many family members being too high-risk to attend a wedding they decided an elopement in Maui was sounding pretty amazing!! We couldn’t agree more. There will be many years to come where you can celebrate with friends and family but this day, was just for you two!!

How Did They Meet?

Rachel & Michael had an instant connection when they first met. Like so many other couples they met in the world of online dating. They shared many messages and talks on the phone and both knew that there was something there. Once they finally were able to meet in person they were never again apart!

They have enjoyed many firsts together like their first vacation, their first puppy, who is a Siberian Husky named Captain, their first (and hopefully only) pandemic! lol! These two have really created a special bond and it means the world to us that they continued their story on the beaches of Maui.

Erin & Jono met by chance back in 2016 at Baja Cantina where Erin was Jono’s waitress! It may have taken a few attempts to actually get Erin on board but eventually, she fell for him too! We feel so fortunate to have met this sweet pair and honored to be a part of their Maui elopement!

A shared love for cycling brought them together with many conversations (and challenges) to talk about. He biked to the restaurant they met at and Erin asked “Oh yeah, how far?” to which he replied “5 miles!” “Psh that’s nothing” she replied. “I bike 10 miles to and from here every day!” It was that moment Jono KNEW this was the girl for him! They have shared many biking trips together and moved across the country. Through all of their adventures, their love for each other has grown stronger each day.

There is absolutely nothing like a brides smile on her wedding day! Erin looked stunning and her smile and laughter says it all! We found ourselves smiling ear to ear as we were looking through the photos. Talk about contagious smile…. check out Erin and her all gorgeousness!!

Erin & Jono really enjoyed dancing on their wedding day! There was multiple times while we were photographing that their happiness just exuded from them so much that they bust a move!!!

Mahalo Erin & Jono for allowing us to be a part of your Maui elopement! You were such a joy to work with and we hope you find your way back to Maui sometime soon!

Narges & Taylor are a sweet couple, all the way from Wisconsin. They decided the intimacy of a Maui beach elopement was the best way to share their love! Kanaha is a gorgeous white sand beach perfect for Maui elopements. It’s quiet, beautiful, and the perfect spot for this ceremony on the beach.

Reverend Kuya officiated their wedding offering such a genuine and heartfelt ceremony. His words are so deep and meaningful and even shared in the dance at the end to celebrate. Scroll down to check it out the full Maui elopement!

Even though they eloped, Narges and Taylor still were able to have their friends and family participate by adding on our “virtually there” package. Their ceremony was live streamed for their loved ones to watch as it happened in real time, how special! It was also available to watch on demand a few hours after the ceremony for anyone who missed it 🙂

Although the beach was mostly empty, they still got some love from passing by paddlers cheering for the newlywed couple! We love it when everyone joins in on the celebration to wish the bride and groom congratulations! It really shares the love of the island and shows just how much Aloha people in Maui really have.

Mahalo Narges & Taylor for sharing your day with us! You were such a pleasure to work with and your elopement turned out gorgeous. We can’t wait to see you in Maui again for anniversary portraits!!

This right here is what love is all about!! Love finds its way into our lives in many different forms. For Megan & Kat it found its way within each other! They had been friends for some time before they began their relationship. Their bond grew and blossomed and they have been inseparable ever since. We are so grateful that through their journey, they found their way to us for an intimate Maui elopement.

Megan & Kat have a fur baby named Macy they absolutely adore!! It’s hard when your little fur baby can’t be here on your wedding day, but we do offer photoshopping services to give you a pic with your baby!! It may not look like they were actually there on the beach with you but it is a fun way to include them in the picture!

We adore the way the tropical flowers add a pop of color to Megan and Kat’s all white wedding attire.

When asked Megan & Kat what they are most looking forward to about being married they immediately said “starting and raising a family together.” We are looking forward to that too! Hopefully, you’ll bring that family back here to the spot you were wed for some Maui family portraits!! Our sister company Karma Hill Photography offers a return client discount for all our wedding clients, hint hint 😉

Mahalo Megan & Kat for including us in your Maui elopement! You were such a joy to meet and we look forward to meeting the whole in the years to come.

Robin & Chris’ story began 5 years ago before their gorgeous Maui beach elopement! Chris was driving through Colorado on his way home to Utah when he decided to hop on Tinder and start swiping! Robin happened to be on Tinder as well and they both swiped right! They didn’t actually meet that day but it did connect them to begin chatting! They talked for about 3 months before Chris made the drive back to Colorado to meet Robin. They met for a breakfast date, which turned into an all-day date, and Chris never left! Just kidding! He left that day, but it wasn’t long before he headed back down to Colorado permanently. The long-distance thing just wasn’t for them! They just knew their happily every after was together in Colorado.

We love sweet love stories like Robin & Chris’. It warms our hearts to know that we are a part of that journey now. A Maui beach elopement was the perfect setting for these two. They were able to focus on each other, the love they share, the life they are building; and who wouldn’t want to do that with their toes in the sand? Sounds pretty perfect to us!

Ironwoods Beach was quiet and serene this particular evening. There was a light layer of clouds that ended up drizzling on us during the ceremony. Afterward the ceremony the rain lightened and we saw a little rainbow making its presence. We did catch a little more rain while we were shooting on the cliffs but you know what they say about rain on your wedding day… it’s definitely good luck!!

Thank you so much Robin and Chris for choosing us to coordinate your Maui beach elopement! We wish you many more years of love and happiness!

Check out another recent destination wedding on our blog here: https://simplemauiwedding.net/natasha-julians-destination-wedding-in-maui/

Agi & Jimmy are a sweet couple from Illinois that we had the pleasure of meeting last week! They decided on a Maui beach elopement after several other wedding plan options over the past year. They met on Match.com about 3 years ago and have been inseparable ever since. Their very first date was meeting up for drinks at a local bar. Many shared interests and dates later they decided to tie the knot! What an honor it is that they chose us to be a part of it!

Agi & Jimmy’s road to the wedding wasn’t ALL fun and games of course. I mean, we are in the middle of a pandemic! Just getting to Hawaii has its challenges. Once they got on island and started heading out to their hotel, they were halted in their tracks by the Olowalu brush fire. They ended up spending their first night on Maui sleeping in their car. Not exactly how they wanted to spend their first day of vacation. But good attitudes and a beautiful wedding to look forward to made it easier to bear. And hopefully, the hotel credited you for the first night! 😉

Just after their wedding ceremony, Jacob from Manutea Nui E offered a sweet serenade for Agi & Jimmy to dance to. What a special moment, first dance as husband and wife.

This elegant couple looked magnificent as the pastel sunset hues faded into the ocean.

This Pennsylvania couple is as sweet as they come! Not only were they a dream to work with while planning their beach elopement in Maui, but they also thoughtfully brought chocolate bars from their home state for their vendor team. Now that’s next-level sweetness!

Jennifer and Michael chose a morning ceremony for their Maui elopement ceremony. We love this option as it is typically cooler, the beaches are far less busy and then you have the whole day to enjoy together as a married couple! Elopements are all about breaking the rules and doing whatever you want, who says you have to go to dinner after your ceremony? Maybe a morning snorkel would be even more special!

Just look at how giddy these two are to get married, we just adore their chemistry.

Jennifer looked stunning in her Adrianna Papell illusion back dress from Madame Bridal in Boynton Beach Florida

Another great thing about an elopement? You can splash and have fun without worrying about heading to your reception dripping wet. We love that these two didn’t mind letting loose a bit and having fun on the beach. Plus, it’s refreshing after being in the sun! 🙂

Jennifer and Michael, Mahalo for choosing Simple Maui Wedding as your wedding team! We were honored to be a part of your day. We hope to see you back in Maui in the future!!

Check out another recent Maui elopement: https://simplemauiwedding.net/shelby-williams-wedding-in-maui/ 

Shelby and William met the old fashion way at a bar in Seattle, where they both currently live. Shelby was celebrating a win with friends after a football game when William caught her eye. They hit it off right away and the rest is history. Today we celebrate their wedding in Maui!

When Shelby & William decided on a Maui vacation they did not share with their families that they would be also getting married. The true definition of a Maui elopement! They’ve been engaged for a few years now though so there may have been some suspicions amongst their crew. Anyhow, we love the element of surprise and surely their friends and family are excited to for them as they embark on this new adventure.

Small beach elopements don’t have to go without the traditional elements like a toast and cake cutting! The yummy cake and Martinelli’s sparkling cider are the perfect addition to your beach wedding in Maui.

Mahalo Shelby & William for choosing us as your Maui elopement coordinator! We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!

This sweet Brooklyn couple traveled long and far with many restrictions in place in order to make their dream Maui elopement a reality! Getting to Maui is no easy task with all our regulations but for anyone willing to put in the work, we are so thankful to have them! We feel blessed to have been a part of Stephanie & Murad’s Maui wedding!

Murad’s favorite band is Counting Crows and he always knew he’d love a girl who loves Counting Crows just as much as he does. When he came across a profile on OkCupid that listed her favorite band as Counting Crows he had to send Stephanie a message! He was so excited that he sent her a novel long message and somewhere in there asking what her favorite song was. She replied with 2 words “favorite song ?? ;)”  If it wasn’t for the winky face he would have thought it a lost cause! Obviously it wasn’t a lost cost, it was a means to a deeper connection. To think this is where they are today is pure joy!!

Stephanie and Murad shared sweet personal vows the expressed just how perfect of a match they are.  We adore their Vow Books and enjoyed every minute of their words to each other.

Our cake package offers a sweet treat on your wedding day while capturing the traditional ‘cake cutting’ pictures.

We are so honored to have been a part of your Maui elopement Stephanie & Murad! Thank you for making the long journey and celebrating with your toes in the sand!! We hope to see you in Maui again soon!
