Okay, but what’s better than a love story that starts with growing up in the same town and ends with saying I do in paradise? Not much. Enter: Emily and Jake.

These two have basically been orbiting each other since middle school, same class, same hometown, same friend circles. But it wasn’t until college, with a little help from mutual friends again (we love the consistency), that things shifted. Sparks flew. Coffee dates happened. By 2018, they were officially them.

Fast forward a few years, one cozy little house together, and a hike through the park near that very first home, where Jake got down on one knee in May 2024. It was just the two of them. Quiet, intentional, perfect. When it came to planning their wedding, they wanted their big day to be just as perfect too…

So when it came time to plan a wedding, they wanted something just as meaningful. Cue: Maui. And not just any spot on the island, Emily and Jake tied the knot at Gather Maui, surrounded by their closest friends and family, the breeze off the ocean, and a whole lot of love.

Everything about their day felt intimate and personal. From the warm ceremony with tropical touches to the way the light danced on Emily’s dress as they said their vows, it was basically a Pinterest board come to life, but better, because it was them.

And the beach portraits after? Chef’s kiss. The lighting was golden and soft, wrapping around them like a little Maui blessing from the sun gods themselves. The kind of light that makes you feel like you’re watching the beginning of forever. (Because you are.)

Congratulations, Emily and Jake, you pulled off something so beautiful, so true to who you are. A love story years in the making, sealed with a kiss… and a sunset.

Some love stories take a few unexpected detours before landing in just the right place. For Kassidy & Ryan, that place was their beautiful, sun-soaked Maui venue wedding at Gather Maui, simple, beautiful, and full of heart.

A couple of years ago, Ryan had originally planned to propose after a snowboarding trip in the mountains. The plan? Hit the slopes, have an epic day. Little did she know what was around the corner! A week later, on Valentine’s Day, Ryan asked her to marry him. Totally worth the wait.

Fast forward to Maui, where their wedding day unfolded exactly how they dreamed: carefree, flexible, and full of joy. Surrounded by family, including their three daughters (ages 13, 6, and 1), and even their dog S’mores in spirit, Kassidy and Ryan said “I do” beneath swaying palms and clear blue skies. It was a gorgeous day, as you’ll see below!

The setting at Gather Maui was stunning, the ocean in the distance, a floral arch framing every photo, and their closest loved ones sharing in every sweet, happy moment. It was simple and intimate, but deeply meaningful, the kind of day when you could just feel the love radiating in every direction.

After everything they’ve built together, raising kids, building a home, balancing careers (from Comcast to relocation services), and finding joy in life’s everyday adventures, this day felt like the perfect celebration of their story!

With their kiddos by their sides (and arms!), they shared so many joyful moments. These weren’t just wedding portraits; they were full-on family moments, and you could feel the love in every frame. What a beautiful family!

Golden Beauty

And then came the sunset after they said “I, do!” As the day shifted into evening, Maui did what Maui does best: the sky lit up in soft pinks, peaches, and golden tones that seemed designed just for them. Their sunset portraits were pure magic: Kassidy’s dress catching the breeze, Ryan holding her hand as they laughed and twirled, the two of them completely lost in their just-married glow. Every frame was soft, romantic, and full of that golden warmth you dream of when you picture a Hawaii wedding.

Congratulations, Kassidy and Ryan! Your Maui wedding was not only beautiful, it was filled with the kind of love that makes every photo a memory to cherish!

A Maui venue wedding was the perfect setting for Reese and Logan. They are high school sweethearts, born-and-raised Alaskans, and quite possibly the most down-to-earth (but also photogenic!) couple we’ve ever met. Instead of a single day of celebration, these two opted for a wedding week in paradise with their closest loved ones. Because honestly, why limit the joy?

Logan is about to start medical school in July 2025, but first, he’s getting hands-on experience working at a hospital. Reese, meanwhile, is still in college and dreaming big; she’s two years away from a marketing degree and has her heart set on opening a coffee shop someday. With big dreams, they will forever be by one another’s side…

Their ceremony at Gather Maui was full of love and sweet, quiet emotion. Reese walked in looking absolutely stunning, and Logan? That huge, heartfelt smile when he saw her said it all. With the ocean breeze and their favorite people all around, they exchanged vows and officially started their forever.

And then… the beach. The lighting. The most golden newlywed portraits you’ve ever seen. They soaked it all in, laughing, holding hands, and making memories that felt as warm as the Hawaiian sunset.

The light was golden and soft, the sky blushing just the right amount. Maui knows romance, and these enchanting portraits say it all. Their portraits felt effortless, dreamy, and so them. You could see the joy in their face, just married, just glowing, just completely wrapped up in the moment. It was their moment…their moment to pause and simply be husband and wife for the very first time…

Congratulations, Reese and Logan! Your love story is already golden, and we’re so lucky we got to capture the first chapter! Good luck with all your dreams together!

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!

There’s something universally magical about witnessing two people say “I do,” and Chad and Janet’s Maui venue wedding was the kind of love story that leaves your heart smiling for days. At Gather in Maui, surrounded by ocean breeze and golden light, their celebration unfolded with simplicity, elegance, and a whole lot of heart.

Let’s start with Janet, shall we? Because wow. She made her entrance like a scene straight out of a romance film. Radiant in her gown with a sweeping veil that floated like mist behind her, she walked with poise, grace, and just the right amount of joy peeking through every step. And Chad, standing under a beautifully adorned arch, set perfectly against the tropical backdrop, looked both awestruck and completely at peace as he watched his stunning bride come toward him. (Honestly, we’ll never get tired of that moment!)

Simplicity At Its Best

We love weddings of all shapes and sizes, but there’s something special about the ones that keep things simple and true to the couple. That’s exactly what this was. A heartfelt ceremony, filled with sweet glances, personal vows, and a palpable sense of “this is right.” The venue itself, Gather, was the perfect setting for this kind of day. With its modern island vibe, lush landscaping, and proximity to the ocean, it offered the best of both worlds: an intimate atmosphere and an epic backdrop.

After sealing their vows with a kiss, Chad and Janet snuck away to Southside Beach for their newlywed portraits. And oh, the sunset, Maui did not hold back! The sky painted itself in soft pinks, warm golds, and the kind of glowy light that photographers dream about. We couldn’t stop clicking the shutter as they strolled barefoot through the sand, stealing kisses and laughing like they were the only two people in the world. Aren’t they just gorgeous? That veil, that light, that sparkle, that look! We are here for all of it!

Congratulations, Chad and Janet! Thank you for letting us be a part of your effortlessly beautiful celebration. May the decades ahead be full of love and light! We send you all the blessings and lots of aloha!

Steve and Sydney’s Maui venue wedding was the definition of effortless beauty, simple, thoughtful, and full of the kind of joy that you can’t fake. Their celebration at Gather in Maui perfectly captured everything they wanted their big day to be: relaxed, elegant, and surrounded by the natural beauty of the island they love.

From the very beginning, their vision was all about keeping things easy and meaningful. Nothing too over-the-top—just well-curated, cozy, and intentional. And that’s exactly how it felt. With soft ocean breezes and a backdrop that looked like a postcard, Sydney and Steve had the most incredible day.

Sydney looked absolutely stunning in her cream gown, timeless and elegant with a modern, easy grace that suited her perfectly. Steve looked equally handsome and relaxed, the kind of groom who was clearly just thrilled to be marrying his best friend. Together, they radiated warmth, love, and that laid-back magic Maui does so well. Our photographer had the pleasure of capturing them before the ceremony; the excitement and joy were palpable!

Their Maui venue wedding ceremony was sweet and sincere, set against the lush, breezy setting at Gather. They said “I do” surrounded by beauty and love. It was everything they hoped for and felt like a total dream come true. That’s why we love what we do so much; love stories like Steve and Sydney!

That golden-hour walk along the shoreline? Pure magic. They laughed, they strolled barefoot in the sand, and they soaked in every second together. It was so simple, and so lovely, exactly the kind of moment that makes a wedding unforgettable.

Congratulations, Steve and Sydney! Your day was everything it needed to be, beautiful, meaningful, and totally you. We loved every second of it.

We are so excited to share Christina and Wesley’s elegant Maui venue wedding with you! So, when Christina and Wesley first met at Huntington Beach Library—yes, the library!—and kicked off their first date with Pokémon Go, a walk through the nature park, and boba, they were just two people figuring life out together. Ten years later, after building a life filled with family time, late-night TV sessions, and a glitter-filled proposal on a quiet park bench, they found themselves exchanging vows in one of the most breathtaking venues in all of Hawaii.

Their Maui wedding took place at the Grand Wailea’s Seaside Chapel, a hidden gem tucked within one of Maui’s most iconic luxury resorts. The Grand Wailea, a Waldorf Astoria property, is the kind of place that makes you audibly exhale the moment you step onto the grounds. With lush tropical gardens, waterfalls, koi ponds, and sweeping views of the Pacific, it’s a destination that feels both elevated and effortlessly connected to its surroundings. Keep reading and you’ll see what we mean!

What we love about this venue—and why it was perfect for Christina and Wesley—is how it blends luxury with ease. The staff at the Grand Wailea are warm, gracious, and incredibly attentive. Couples feel cared for the moment they arrive. The gardens, walkways, and beachfront paths offer a seamless mix of portrait backdrops, from manicured elegance to wild coastal beauty. It’s one of our favorite venues to photograph. We’re always thrilled to partner with the Grand Wailea to help bring these love stories to life.

A Sacred Moment

The Seaside Chapel itself is intimate and serene, with a vaulted ceiling, and tall colored stained-glass windows that fill the space with natural light. It sits at the edge of the resort, just a short walk from the ocean, nestled among palm trees and tropical foliage. The chapel has an air of timeless romance, made even more special by its setting, surrounded by nature, but within reach of all the refined comforts you’d expect from a Waldorf Astoria property.

Their Maui venue wedding ceremony in the Seaside Chapel was full of quiet joy. Watching Christina walk down the aisle with soft light streaming through the windows felt like something out of a painting. Wesley’s reaction said everything, equal parts awe, happiness, and deep love. It was one of those moments that’s hard to put into words but impossible to forget.

Joyful Moments

For Christina and Wesley, this day was all about intention. They kept things small and meaningful, surrounded by the people closest to them. Christina, a nurse with Kaiser Permanente, and Wesley, who works in supply chain at Northrop Grumman, both know the value of time well spent so they planned a day that allowed them to slow down, savor the moment, and just be present with one another. They had their friends and family by their side who were just as excited as we were about their special day. It meant so much to them to have their loved ones share in the celebrations!

This wedding was part of a larger trip with their close-knit group of friends, who usually gather in Mammoth or Tahoe but unanimously agreed that Hawaii was the perfect next stop. As Christina shared, Maui offered “the best of both worlds”—a little city, a little nature, and the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure.

Afterward, we explored the grounds together for portraits. The beauty of the Grand Wailea is that no matter where you are tucked beneath palm trees, strolling past the water features, or standing along the shoreline you’re surrounded by a sense of tranquility and understated grandeur. Christina and Wesley were completely at ease. They laughed, held hands, and took their time. It was a celebration, yes, but also a reflection of the life they’ve built: grounded, joyful, and full of love.

Christina and Wesley always joked about a Hawaii wedding one day. Now, that day has come has arrived!

Of course, we couldn’t resist a walk down to the beach. Just steps from the chapel, the shoreline offered the perfect ending to their portrait session. It was relaxed, romantic, and full of that just-married-in-Maui glow. These portraits? Some of our absolute favorites.

Congratulations, Christina and Wesley! Your wedding at the Grand Wailea’s Seaside Chapel was thoughtful, elegant, and full of heart. We’re so honored to have been part of this unforgettable chapter and to celebrate alongside you at one of Maui’s most stunning venues.

You know that trope in romantic comedies where two people with wildly different hobbies fall madly in love and somehow make it all work? That’s Taylor and Andrew. She rides majestic dressage horses with the kind of poise that would make even a Disney princess feel underdressed. He rolls around (gracefully, we assume) in Jiu-Jitsu classes. Together? They’re the perfect blend of grit, grace, and romance and they tied the knot under dreamy plumeria trees.

Let’s rewind just a bit. Taylor and Andrew met through mutual friends (thank you, universe)! And eventually found themselves engaged on a literal cliff in the Arkansas Ozark Mountains. Yes, a cliff. With panoramic views and enough drama to rival any Jane Austen adaptation. Which, frankly, set the bar pretty high for their Maui wedding venue.

But Taylor had never been to Hawaii before and if you’re going to choose a place for your first-ever Hawaiian experience, it might as well be Maui, right? Andrew had been before and together they decided, hey, let’s get married AND honeymoon here. One flight. Double the magic!

A First Look

Their wedding at the Four Seasons Maui was nothing short of cinematic. Beneath swaying plumeria trees and with the ocean humming gently in the background, Taylor and Andrew exchanged vows that had everyone swooning. But before all that? There was a first look.

And oh, the first look.

Let’s just say there were happy tears, big smiles, and that ineffable moment when time pauses, not because you told it to, but because the universe saw something too beautiful to rush. It was intimate and sweet and one of those “you had to be there” moments, except lucky for us… there were photos.

A Romantic Tropical Setting

The ceremony itself? Straight out of a fairytale, if the fairytale took place in Maui and featured a happy couple saying “I do” under the most romantic canopy of plumeria trees you’ve ever seen. Plumeria Point at the Four Seasons isn’t just a location—it’s a feeling. With the Pacific sparkling in the distance, soft petals drifting on the breeze, and sunlight filtering through the trees like nature’s own spotlight, it was the kind of setting that made everyone collectively sigh.

Taylor walked toward Andrew with that once-in-a-lifetime kind of glow, and he looked at her like he already knew he’d just made the best decision of his life. The intimacy of the moment, the gentle hush of the ocean in the background, and the fragrance of plumeria in the air, it all felt like Maui itself was giving them its blessing.

From cliffside proposals to sun-soaked vows in Hawaii, Taylor and Andrew’s love story feels like a dream you’d want to live in. One filled with horses and Jiu-Jitsu mats, publishing projects and stable boots, laughter, devotion, and now, plenty of beachy memories as newlyweds.

Congratulations, Taylor and Andrew! Your Maui wedding was as joyful, meaningful, and effortlessly beautiful as the love you share. Here’s to many more sunsets and adventures together! Enjoy your honeymoon!

Let’s talk about fate and a Maui venue wedding. Not the cosmic, shooting stars, “I knew it when I saw them across the room” kind of fate. No, I’m talking about potsticker fate. The kind where you’re a little tipsy, it’s way past midnight, and you hand a stranger a steaming dumpling as a parting gift — and then, boom. You accidentally meet the love of your life.

That’s exactly how it started for this adorably introverted, karaoke-loving, sushi-obsessed couple. A potsticker. A mutual friend. And Arnell, who knew immediately that there was something special about her. She, on the other hand, was in her “I’m staying single, thanks” era. But Arnell? Persistent. Kind. Low-key charming. And eventually, very, very successful.

Flash forward past sweet moments, shared omakase meals, and a proposal so romantic it could be a Nicholas Sparks novel (yellow-themed surprise beach picnic? coordinated photographer? yellow roses and swan towel animals?!), and we arrive here: a breathtaking wedding at Merriman’s Kapalua on Maui…

An Intimate Celebration

The whole day felt like one long exhale, the kind where everything just makes sense. Their decision to swap a high-effort backyard wedding for a Maui destination celebration? Best idea ever! Not only did it mean less stress and more fun, it gave them something they truly value: a day focused on joy, love, and connection. And of course, aloha! Their Maui venue wedding was an intimate celebration of love, joy, and commitment. It meant the world to them to have their loved ones present.

With their closest people surrounding them, they laughed, hugged, and promised forever. The celebration was intimate but full of energy and brimming with love. They snuck away for some newlywed portraits that surely will leave anyone’s jaw on the floor! From the peaceful blue sky to a sunset that looked straight out of a postcard, the scenery was impossibly photogenic, only outshined by this gorgeous couple!

From San Diego to Oahu to Maui, these two have written a love story filled with shared playlists, quiet nights, and joyful chaos. They balance each other beautifully, have a room that is apparently never quiet (thanks, gaming + karaoke), and now they have a marriage as grounded and joyful as the island they chose to celebrate on.

Congratulations, you two. Your day was magic. Your love is magic. And we’re so happy to have captured every golden, windswept, wonderfully Maui moment.

Let us just start by saying: if love had a color, it would be the exact shade of the Maui sunset the night Jennifer and Alex said “I do” at their Maui venue wedding. You know the one—soft peach melting into coral with a splash of gold that makes everything look like it’s been dipped in a romantic filter. That was their light. That was their moment. And oh wow, it was perfect.

Jennifer, a brilliant oncology nurse with the kind of heart that could hug the whole planet, met Alex—construction manager and tennis enthusiast—on Hinge during the weird, wobbly chaos of COVID. (Proof that even a global pandemic can’t stop fate when it has plans.) Three years, countless walks, workouts, rollerblading afternoons, and deep love later, he proposed next to a sparkling lake in Chicago with the skyline as their witness. Romantic, right?

Their wedding at the Andaz Maui was the embodiment of everything they cherish: nature, beauty, meaningful connection, and a little ocean breeze to carry the magic. Before the ceremony, they shared a first look that was straight out of a movie. Alex stood waiting—nervous, excited, completely smitten and he turned around? The way his face lit up… it said everything! It was private, powerful, and absolutely unforgettable. It was a moment they both will never ever forget! Curious to see more of their amazing day? Keep reading!

Personal & Perfect

And then came the ceremony. Surrounded by their favorite people, they exchanged vows with the sea behind them, the wind whispering blessings, and the light turning them into a postcard. Jennifer looked stunning in a lace dress that honestly deserved its own standing ovation, and Alex in his sharp tux? He looked like the ever perfect gentleman.

They laughed, they cried, they glowed. Their Maui venue wedding ceremony was all the feels. It couldn’t have been any more perfect or personal. From the stunning setting on the lawn to the serene beach beyond, it was everything they dreamt of and more!

And as the sun dipped low, casting everything in that once-in-a-lifetime golden haze, they took their first portraits as husband and wife. The kind of portraits that make you believe in love stories and happy endings and the power of a well-timed sunset. And how gorgeous is her bouquet?! It’s the same colors as the amazing sunset! Picture perfect.

To Jennifer and Alex: congrats on your epic Maui wedding! May your love always feel like that first look—filled with awe, intimacy, and a whole lot of joy. And may every walk, every adventure, every tennis match or rollerblade ride, be just another chapter in your beautiful, shared story.

Okay, first things first—yes, they’re really named Will and Grace (well, technically Grace is her middle name, but we’re counting it!). And if that’s not a sign they were meant to be, we don’t know what is.

Grace and Will’s Maui venue wedding was everything you could possibly want in a destination celebration—romantic, vibrant, sweet, and ridiculously fun. The two of them traveled all the way from southeastern Kentucky to say “I do” in one of the most breathtaking spots on Earth, and spoiler alert: it was amazing.

They held their wedding at Wailea Beach Resort, right at the stunning Lanai Point. If you’ve never seen it—imagine dreamy ocean views, swaying palms, and just enough breeze to make your veil do that perfect windblown thing without totally taking off. And the florals? Oh my goodness. Gorgeous towers of tropical blooms in bright, happy colors that looked like something straight out of a wedding magazine. (If Grace wasn’t already glowing, the flowers were doing their part to add extra sparkle.) So keep reading to see more!

A Maui Venue Wedding Ceremony That Felt Like Sunshine

Their ceremony was lighthearted and joyful—sweet without being too serious, filled with laughter, happy tears, and that warm kind of energy that only comes from being surrounded by people who truly love you. It was the kind of ceremony where you catch yourself smiling even if you’re just looking at the photos.

Grace, who’s finishing her final year of medical school (hero), and Will, who works in sales for a marketing company, have had a whirlwind year. And this day? It was the beautiful exhale they deserved. And Grace managed to set aside the stress (even with her self-proclaimed tendency to stress on big days!), and just embraced the moment—every sun-drenched, love-filled second of it.

Beachside Romance & One Stylish Exit

After the ceremony, we snuck them down to the beach for some truly gorgeous newlywed portraits. The lighting? Pure magic. That soft, golden Maui glow showed up right on cue, and the way they looked at each other? Enchanting. And it was like they were in their own little world where only they existed—and maybe their golden doodle Maggie in spirit, of course.

And just when we thought it couldn’t get any more stylish… they drove off in a classic car. Yes. A whole just-married cinematic moment complete with vintage charm and hearts practically flying out of the sky. So it couldn’t have been more portrait.

Congratulations, Grace & Will!

Your Maui venue wedding was a total dream—from the first petal to the final wave goodbye. And thank you for letting us be part of your story. We’re still swooning over your love, your laughter, and your effortlessly beautiful day. May your marriage be filled with as much joy, adventure, and sparkle as your wedding—plus lots of hikes, sunshine, and Maggie cuddles too.

Some love stories are meant to be written by the ocean, golden skies, and barefoot promises. Dasha and Ryan’s Maui wedding felt exactly like that—a perfect, sun-kissed chapter of a romance already filled with adventure, love, and the magic of living fully.

These two are the ultimate dream team. Dasha, a glowing model and wellness influencer, and Ryan, who crushes it in the world of medical sales, first met exactly where you’d expect two active, vibrant souls to collide—the gym. (Honestly, could it be any more perfect?) From that first spark, it was clear their story was going to be something special.

Last April, Ryan proposed at Hanalei Bay in Kauai. Beach, sunset, pure magic. It was the kind of moment you remember forever, and it set the tone for everything that came next.

When it came time to plan their wedding, there was only one place that felt right: Maui. Hawaii isn’t just a vacation spot for them—it’s home for their souls. They’ve explored every corner, lived on Oahu, and found their hearts returning here, again and again. Maui, with its peaceful beauty and wild spirit, was the only place that could hold this much love. Keep reading to see more!

Their Maui venue wedding day at Royal Lahaina Resort was everything they dreamed of: elegant, effortless, serene, and intimate. Dasha looked absolutely radiant, embracing a breezy, bohemian goddess vibe. She wore a stunning flower crown that felt like it had been plucked right from the island itself. Every detail about her look—the loose waves, the soft, romantic dress—felt natural and perfectly Maui.

Effortless & Radiant

And their photography? Unreal. Soft. Serene. Sun-drenched and flattering in every way. The light seemed to wrap around them highlighting the laughter, the emotion, the quiet, heart-stealing glances between them. Every photo captured the pure, organic joy of the day—the moments you can’t script and wouldn’t want to.

From the heartfelt ceremony to the spontaneous laughter during their portraits, the images from their Maui venue wedding tell the story of a love that’s strong, adventurous, and beautifully grounded. It was peaceful and heartfelt, the kind of day that feels like a priceless moment in time.

Congratulations, Dasha & Ryan!

We’re so honored to have captured this dreamy day for you. Your wedding was a reflection of everything you are—joyful, soulful, effortlessly beautiful—and we hope every time you look at your photos, you’re taken right back to the feeling of that Maui breeze and the endless love between you.

Here’s to a lifetime of adventures, sunsets, and a love that always feels like coming home!
