A Maui elopement feels like the definition of romance: quiet waves, soft light, and two people starting forever with the ocean as their witness. For Ruth and Francisco, it was everything they’d ever wanted.
They met ten years ago on a night out with friends and have been writing their love story ever since. After a decade together, they decided to skip the stress and plan something simple, beautiful, and completely their own. Their first trip to Maui turned into the trip of a lifetime, a wedding and a honeymoon all in one! And we were honored to bring their dream day to life! Curious to see more of their special day? See these gorgeous highlights below!
Just You, Me & The Sea
Polo Beach gave them the perfect backdrop. The afternoon light was golden, the breeze gentle, and the waves seemed to applaud with every “I do.” It was peaceful and full of heart, the kind of moment that lingers long after you leave the island.
They chose a Maui elopement because it blended everything they loved: beauty, ease, and meaning. No long guest lists, no timelines to juggle. Just the two of them, barefoot in the sand, focused on what truly matters: their love. And with a simple package that handled all the details, they were free to be fully present in every moment.
Ruth was radiant in a classic column gown, the fabric catching the light with every step. Together, they were the definition of tropical elegance. Francisco looked incredible in a blush pink suit, modern, confident, and perfectly suited to the island’s warmth. We are all for grooms in pink!
Their portraits glowed with joy, bright, airy images filled with laughter, tenderness, and that Maui magic you can’t quite describe but always remember. You can see it in the way he looked at her, and in how she smiled back, completely at peace.
They chose a Maui elopement because it offered what mattered most: simplicity, intimacy, and beauty. No guest list, no schedule, just two people promising forever in paradise.
Ruth and Francisco’s day was calm, joyful, and deeply romantic, proof that the best weddings are about love, not logistics. And did Maui deliver at sunset! The sky was soft shades of pink and lilac, almost as if the island got the memo about this very moment. So dreamy!
Congratulations to these two on their unforgettable elopement! We wish you an amazing honeymoon! May you have a lifetime of joy and happiness together!
