Our Next Story’s Next Chapter – Riley & Garrett’s Maui Venue Wedding
We are excited to share a beautiful Maui venue wedding! You know, some love stories begin with grand gestures. Others begin on a snowy back road near Mt. Baker, with one stranded car, one kindhearted fisherman, and a moment that quietly changes everything. That’s where Riley and Garrett’s story first took shape. when they were just 19 and 20, both newly planted in Bellingham, Washington, both chasing new chapters, and entirely unaware that they’d just met their forever.
Nearly seven years later, after building a life shaped by tides and tenacity. Riley is now serving with the United States Postal Service, and Garrett is working year-round as a commercial fisherman. Garrett proposed a New Year’s trip to Hood River, Oregon. It was simple, meaningful, and perfectly them. Keep reading to see more!
They first dreamed of an intimate wedding along the Stikine River in Wrangell, Alaska, their rugged backyard. Then they flirted with the idea of eloping to Hawaii, just the two of them. But love, it turns out, has a way of gathering people. One by one, friends and family began to say they might “just happen” to be in Hawaii too. Suddenly, their quiet elopement transformed into an intimate celebration. The gorgeous Rustic Hawaiian Ruins venue felt like it had been waiting for them all along.
Set against ancient stone, tropical greenery, and golden Maui light, their wedding felt organic and soulful. It was a beautiful and meaningful celebration with their favorite people supporting them!
Their portraits were breathtaking! The venue has so many beautiful moments for just the two of them. You could feel the love in every frame, steady and unshakable. The light couldn’t be more luminous for their first moments as husband and wife! And that sunset? A total dream!
Riley and Garrett’s day was layered with laughter, history, and that unmistakable sense of home found in another person. From Alaska to Maui, from snowstorms to sunlit vows, their story proves that sometimes the most extraordinary loves begin in the most ordinary moments.
Congratulations, Riley & Garrett! Your love is as real and beautiful as it gets.
