Maui Trash the Dress

The day Hansol and William tied the knot was unforgettable! Twenty-five of their loved ones were in attendance. Then Ironwoods Beach set the scene. Lastly, our gorgeous couple looked beautiful! A few days after their Maui beach wedding, Hansol and William took some trash the dress portraits. These photos will be a stunning reminder of this romantic getaway in Hawaii! Continue scrolling to experience these moments for yourself.

William was born and raised in Maui. One year, he took Hansol to Hawaii as a Christmas gift. The moment Hansol visited, she fell in love with the island! During this trip, Hansol also realizes William is more than just a boyfriend to her. Since this destination is meaningful, they couldn’t imagine getting married anywhere else. However, as soon as they found Simple Maui Wedding on Instagram, they knew they’d made the perfect choice!

The Elegant Maui Beach Wedding

Tranquil, classic, and simple are a few words we’d use to describe Hansol and William’s special day! The dramatic scenery of Ironwoods Beach created a dreamy scene. Then Karma Hill Photography and All Time Media documented every significant moment of this sunset event. After our lovely duo became husband and wife, we had a cake cutting ceremony and sparkling toast! This tradition was Hansol and William’s first experience as a married pair, and you can tell they’re savoring it!

However, we adore how exquisite Hansol and William dressed. Our bride’s gown is airy and ethereal; it pairs splendidly with her chic hair and makeup. William’s suit is sharp and sophisticated — we like how effortlessly it balances with Hansol’s custom bouquet from Dellables.

A few days after Hansol and William’s Maui beach wedding, Karma Hill Photography captured their trash the dress photos! These pictures are lighthearted and romantic. Maluaka Beach created an enchanting scene. As the sun continued to set, a spectrum of delicate hues decorated the sky — it looked like a painting! Above all, we love seeing how much fun Hansol and William had during this session. They weren’t afraid to be carefree and relish their time together!

Congratulations, Hansol and William! Thank you for letting us be part of your wedding day. We wish you a future full of new adventures and unforgettable memories!

Jennifer and James’ special day was all about them. With only five guests in attendance, this ceremony is so intimate! Our groom was the first to arrive at Ironwoods Beach, and he looks sharp in his suit. Then when the sun was beginning to lower, our bride made her grand entrance! During Reverend Kimo Kirkman’s sermon, our stunning couple even exchanged leis with their guests — making this event more meaningful!

The Enchanting Maui Wedding 

Ironwoods Beach was the location for this wedding, and everything about this spot is breathtaking! Surrounding our gorgeous couple is ivory sand, foamy aqua waves, and dramatic lava rocks. Above all, we adore how magical the sun made this event feel. The sunset left a golden glow on the shore — enhancing the dreamy ambiance!

Our Couple’s Story

Our adventurous couple met while they were on a group trip in Myanmar. After this getaway, James went home to London, and Jennifer returned to Ohio. However, their friendship continued to blossom! Our lovely duo had their first date in New York City on Valentine’s Day. This moment is why they decided to have their Maui wedding on the same day a few years later. Then, when the time was right, James popped the question to Jennifer while they were on a road trip around England!

A few days after this tranquil wedding, Karma Hill Photography captured some exquisite trash the dress portraits! Polo Beach and a picturesque sunset set the scene for this session. These pictures are so lighthearted and romantic! Our charming couple had fun: they got their feet wet, played in the water, and sat in the sand! Most importantly, you can tell this blissful duo is savoring their time in paradise as husband and wife!

Congratulations, James and Jennifer! Thank you for letting us be part of your magical wedding day. We wish you a future full of new travels, quality time together, and adventurous journeys!

Brooke and Matt’s Maui wedding was tropical and intimate! A stunning beach was the location for this union. Our groom looked stylish in his steel blue suit. Then our beautiful bride made a graceful grand entrance onto the sandy shore. Overall, there is so much we admire about this ceremony. Keep scrolling to experience this flawless event for yourself!

Why We Adore Their Maui Wedding

Our charming couple wanted a simply relaxing ceremony on the beach, and they couldn’t have chosen a better location! DT Fleming Beach created a magical scene with its cerulean waves, beige sand, and vibrant greenery surrounding the shore. Everything about this wedding was enchanting — from Kahu Ricardo Hanako’o’s heartfelt sermon to Oren Masserman’s soothing ukulele melodies! Our favorite thing is our delightful bride and groom’s attire. We love how elegant and chic Brooke and Matt look!

Our Couple’s Story

Brooke and Matt’s story began when they met at a hospital they worked together at in Austin, Texas. Then two years later, they moved to Portland, Oregon, to be closer to family. Matt popped the question to Brooke in October 2020 in front of her sister’s family and their dogs! It was a special moment for our lovely couple because their four-legged friends were part of it!

Currently, Brooke is a Registered Nurse, and Matt is an Emergency Room Doctor. They have three dogs but plan to have more someday! Recently, they bought 8.5 acres of land and are planning to build their dream house there. We hope your home is full of sweet animals and portraits from your wedding in Maui!

The next day, Karma Hill Photography met up with this alluring pair for their Trash the Dress photo session. And this time, Lahaina Shores Beach painted a dreamy backdrop for these pictures. We know our passionate newlyweds will leave with remarkable memories of their union in paradise! Continue scrolling to see more.

Our adventurous couple enjoyed every minute of this photoshoot! They weren’t afraid to get in the water, sit in the sand, or have fun with their poses. We adore how Brooke and Matt’s portraits are lighthearted, spontaneous, and romantic! Most importantly, you can see the newlywed glow and blissful expressions on their faces.

Congratulations, Brooke and Matt! It was a pleasure to be part of your special day. We wish you all the best of luck with building your dream home!

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!

MAUI TRASH THE DRESS – SESSION DETAILS

Time of Day: Late Afternoon

Maui Photographer: Tenessa

Maui Beach Location: Maluaka

There was magic in the air during Kathleen and Andrew’s Maui Wedding on the shore of Poʻolenalena Beach. With only the ocean to bear witness and warm sand beneath their feet, this was a ceremony with all the elements of an unforgettable union. And you don’t want to miss the trash the dress photography that came afterward! 

The Maui Wedding

Waiting for the love of his life, Andrew looked sleek in a tailored black tux. As he turned to take in Kathleen, his expression was collected and warm. The woman of his dreams was about to become his wife. Draped in a gown of lace with a summer-inspired flower crown and graceful waves, Kathleen was gorgeous! It was little wonder why this amazing couple couldn’t stop staring at each other! 

Following a mellow yet stunning ceremony, Kathleen and Andrew celebrated with cake and spectacular couple’s photos against the pastel sunset. Keep scrolling for their trash the dress session and a bursting sunset of fiery rays! 

Trash the Dress Photography

Two days after their lovely ceremony, our photography team at Karma Hill Photography met up with Kathleen and Andrew once more. But this time it was on the rustic shore of Ironwoods in Kapalua. We loved how these two let loose and indulged in the ocean waves! 

Our Couple’s Story

Kathleen and Andrew are both pharmacists at the Portland VA Hospital. They love hiking, learning how to cook, traveling, working out on their Peloton, and of course watching TV (their new favorite show is The Masked Singer). Together they have two fur babies, their dogs Pikachu and Luca. 

Kathleen and Andrew met while they were in pharmacy school and have been together for nine years. One special day while they were relaxing at home, Andrew turned to her and said, “Hey, let’s get married.” And of course, she said yes! We love how natural and easy going these two are! Just look at those smiles! 

Congratulations, Kathleen and Andrew, for trusting us with your Maui Wedding and Trash the Dress Photography! It was a joy working with you, and we send our warmest Aloha.

TRASH THE DRESS PHOTOGRAPHY – SESSION DETAILS

Maui Trash the Dress Photographer: Tenessa of Karma Hill Photography

Maui Location: Ironwoods Beach

Jacqueline and Jesus know how to celebrate a Maui Beach Wedding! In the soft morning light on the epic sands of Ironwoods Beach, Jacqueline and Jesus were married on the oceanfront with the turquoise waters glistening in the backdrop. After their “I do’s,” they ventured up the towering cliffs for dramatic and jaw-dropping photos and then cut the cake and curled up for a romantic picnic! The next day, our friends at Karma Hill Photography met up with Jacqueline and Jesus on Southside Beach for a fun trash the dress session! 

The Maui Beach Wedding

Wearing a mermaid-flare gown with endless waves of crimson, Jacqueline stole our breath away! We loved Jesus’ sweet expression when his bride was finally standing by his side. Love was everywhere on the shore of Ironwoods that day! Keep scrolling for the sweet ceremony moments! 

When on Ironwoods, taking advantage of the towering cliffs is a must-do! Jacqueline and Jesus looked spectacular against the rocky embankments. Following the epic shoot, our couple returned to the shore for a slice of wedding cake and one of the most romantic picnics we’ve seen, put together by our friends at Maui Luxe Picnics. But the celebration didn’t end there, scroll down for the following day’s stunning trash the dress session and more on this amazing couple!

Our Couple’s Story

Jacqueline is an Ultrasound Technologist at a hospital, and Jesus works for a landscaping company. Together they love to try out new restaurants and keep things laid back. Jacqueline loves to cook and binge-watch Netflix (don’t we all!), and Jesus enjoys being outside and playing video games. In the future, they hope to bring two mini-me cuties into the world!

Jacqueline and Jesus met in middle school, when Jesus was the “cool kid” and Jacquline was simply “the new girl.” She never thought he was in her league, with his job (already!), his love for sports, and his pristine Nikes. Little did Jacqueline know that he was pining for her the whole time! He couldn’t resist her sense of humor and brilliant mind! Jesus knew Jacqueline was the one, and last summer, he took Jacqueline into his house to a room filled with flower petals and asked her to marry him. The rest is right here on our blog! 

Congratulations, Jacqueline and Jesus! Thank you for trusting us with your Maui beach wedding and trash the dress session. We wish you all the happiness in the years ahead.

Krissie and Chad had a very memorable Maui Destination Wedding! They rented a private home in Lahaina, where they had their ceremony and then later went down to the beach for a few fun photos. We promise you’ll want to see these! They embraced the rain and how wet they already were by full on jumping in the ocean for one of the most fun trash the dress experiences ever! Their three daughters even joined them, does it get any better than swimming in wedding attire with your loved ones? We think not!

But hold up, let’s go back to the beginning of this wonderful day! We love that Krissie was able to spend some time getting all glammed up with her girls, before heading out to greet her soon to be hubby. As the 5 of them stood together for a beautiful ceremony, it started sprinkling but no one seemed to mind. In fact, each of their reactions was so cute, see for yourself! Not only were this bride and groom absolutely adorable together at their Maui Destination Wedding, but they also looked incredible even soaking wet! The way these two know how to make the best out of any situation leaves us confident they will have a long and happy life together! Thank you, Krissie and Chad, for letting the Simple Maui Wedding team help make this an occasion you will never forget! Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

View our recent wedding: A Special Tropical Romance ~ Sarah & Brian’s Maui Wedding

Setting out seeking an intimate celebration, we loved getting to be a part of Melissa and Marcos’ Maui Wedding and Trash the Dress session. Telling few people what they were doing, they left New Jersey behind to revel in the romance of a private gathering to begin their new life together. With Rev. Joe’s kind words, they followed along with the custom ceremony that would find them committing their lives to one another. With promises made, they were declared husband and wife as the sun worked it’s way towards the horizon.

Having met at a mutual friend’s wedding, Marcos wasted no time, asking her for a date that night. When the right person comes along, you have to seize the moment! Fast forward to today and we were so honored to watch them take these steps forward together. Rounding out their wedding photo collection, we even got to hang out with them the next morning for a ‘Trash the Dress’ session. There’s something so fun about capturing two people madly in love, as they play and splash in the surf in their wedding attire. It’s a chance to let lose and really have fun with the milestone that’s just occurred. It’s one of our favorite things to capture! Thank you, Melissa and Marcos, for allowing Simple Maui Wedding to be a part of this moment in your life. It was our pleasure and we wish you all the love in the world as you begin this new chapter together. Don’t be strangers, come back to see us again! Congratulations and Warm Aloha!!!

On an evening that couldn’t have looked any better, Shirley and Nicholas were thrilled to embark upon their next adventure together. More than ready for their Maui Wedding, this was the moment they had been waiting for since they first fell in love. After traveling here ten years ago on his own, Nicholas then brought his beautiful love here five years ago so she could experience the island paradise. Once engaged, discussions began of a beach wedding here and the agreement soon followed. Both loving the idea, this was the magical place they were meant to be.

First having an intimate first look before the ceremony, it was then time to tie the knot and make their love official. With loved ones looking on, they allowed Rev. Kimo to lead them through the language that would find them declared husband and wife before the day was through. As if that stunning display wasn’t enough, we then had the pleasure of spending the following morning with them as well for their Trash The Dress photo session. How incredible! The Honolua jungle treated them well and it was like something out of a dream. Shirley and Nicholas, you two are sweeter than Hula Pie together and we absolutely adored getting to be a part of this moment with you! Thank you so much for choosing Simple Maui Wedding!!! We wish you a lifetime of happiness together and can’t wait to welcome you back again one day!

Congratulations and Warm Aloha!!!
