Jessica and Jered wanted to do something different for their wedding, so they decided to have a simple but intimate venue wedding in Maui! Surrounded by their families and friends, they tied the knot at The Steeple House with the picturesque views of Maui’s northwest shore around them.

The Maui Venue Wedding

Jessica and Jered wanted an elegant wedding that had a little rustic flair. That made The Steeple House the ideal venue for them! They also left with beautiful memories because of the stunning backdrops this location has to offer. We captured breathtaking portraits on the stone walls and in front of the clear blue ocean. These fairytale-like photos captured by Karma Hill Photography are the perfect personal touch needed to make their new house feel like their forever home.

Our Couple’s Story

Jessica and Jered have been good friends since they were teenagers. They went on a few friend dates before they realized that they were destined to be more. The shock that these longtime friends were soulmates is what motivated them to get married. Jered popped the question while they were right next to Illumination Rock on Mount Hood — Jessica didn’t hesitate to say yes.

This adventurous couple loves to have fun new experiences together. Once, they snowshoed up and down a mountain together. So, it was no surprise to us that they loved the cliffs at Ironwoods Beach! More than anything, we love that their biggest adventure has been their venue wedding in Maui!

Congratulations, Jessica and Jered! We’re wishing you a lifetime of adventures together. And we hope your new home comes together beautifully. Thank you for letting us be part of your special day!

Kristen and Kaylyn’s Maui beach wedding was beautiful in so many ways. With just family watching on and the panoramic view of the ocean in the backdrop, this day was beyond special. From a surprise beach-clearing event that left just the wedding party on the shore to a bursting sunset, this was truly a blessed occasion. 

The Maui Beach Wedding

Reverend Kuya opened the Maui beach wedding with the traditional blowing of the conch shell. Wearing gowns that complemented each other, Kristen and Kaylyn were visions on the beach. The day was windy, which added gorgeous movement to their trains. Shortly after the sweet ceremony, the sky opened up and it began to rain. It was a brief sprinkling, but it caused the beachgoers to pack up and leave. The result was a beach just to ourselves. 

Our Couple’s Story

Kristen and Kaylyn are both veterinarians and met on the job. Their connection was instant, but their love blossomed with time. Kaylyn asked Kristen to marry her during a romantic picnic at a national park in Ohio. She hid the ring in the basket and Kristen discovered it while she was unpacking the blanket. Talk about a sweet treat! Keep scrolling for more of our beautiful couple! 

Congratulations, Kristen and Kaylyn! We wish you all the joy and happiness in the decades ahead!

Hannah and Henry’s Maui micro wedding was a radiant affair in red and gold. With the sweeping views of the western coast and friends and family cheering them on, Hannah and Henry had the ceremony of their dreams. Come see all the beauty!

The Maui Micro Wedding

The historic Steeple House served as the venue for Hannah and Henry’s Maui micro wedding. Our bride put on her finishing touches in the suite and soon it was time to start the show! Wearing a flowing gown with floral applique, Hannah was a vision against the tropical greenery. We love the way Henry’s traditional suit popped with the red accents. 

Reverend Richardo had the pleasure of tying Hannah and Henry together through marriage. There were smiles and laughter as these two said “I do” and began their journey together as a married couple. Then it was time for the team at Karma Hill Photography to capture the after photos!

Our Couple’s Story 

Hannah and Henry were fortunate enough to meet early in life, as way back as high school! When they found each other again in college, they knew it was meant to be. When the time was right, Henry took Hannah back to his family’s cabin in central Oregon, the same place they initially started dating. There, he asked Hannah to marry him, and the rest of the story is right here on our blog! 

Congratulations, Hannah and Henry! It was a joy coordinating your Maui micro wedding. We wish you all the best in the many years to come!

Tracy and James flew all the way in from Washington for their Hawaii beach wedding on the shore of Ironwoods. The sky was peaches and cream and the ocean was nothing short of spectacular. With a couple in love and the ocean’s salty breeze, this was a ceremony that island dreams are made of. 

The Hawaii Beach Wedding 

Tracy and James arrived together, wearing classic outfits that perfectly tie in the sophistication of a traditional wedding with the laidback style of a beach ceremony. Reverend Kuya officiated their union with his fun and welcoming personality. It was a simple yet beautiful event.  

Our Couple’s Story

This lovely Hawaii beach wedding is the second marriage for both our bride and groom. Life is an adventure, and we love learning about all our couples’ unique and beautiful love stories. Our bride and groom both have two grown children, and James is a proud grandfather. They both love the outdoors, hiking, and snowshoeing. 

Tracy and James met at Paradise on Mount Rainier. They spent the day hiking up to Camp Muir, all the way up to 10300 feet! When asked, they said, “It was a beautiful day especially as Tracy danced down the mountain!!!” Keep scrolling for all the sweet moments of this special day!

Congratulations, Tracy and James! We wish you all the best!

Cheyenne and Nicholas’ Maui venue wedding took place on Plumeria Point at the Four Seasons in Wailea. Overlooking the glistening ocean and with friends and family cheering them on, this was an unforgettable ceremony! 

The Maui Venue Wedding

Cheyenne hoped for a wedding that was relaxing and beautiful, where her guests could sit back and enjoy the event without feeling stressed or anxious. So of course it had to be Hawaii! In fact, Cheyenne often jokes that she’s part-Hawaiian because her mother fell in love with the islands when she was young and Cheyenne grew up with Hawaii taking up a special place in her heart. She even learned to hula dance at the age of four. 

Cheyenne’s grace was evident from the start (thanks for the hula lesions, Mom!). Wearing a stunning gown that shimmered and flowed, and with a smile that outshined the Maui sun, Cheyenne was simply radiant. Nicholas’ expression said it all: this was the love of his life. And here they were, tying their lives together with a beautiful Maui venue wedding. 

Our Couple’s Story

We asked how they met and Cheyenne gave us such a great story, we had to share it here!

Our bride tells their story: “We met in 2015 just before I graduated college at USC. We actually met through a dating app and Nick arranged our first date to be at a sushi restaurant in LA. We’ve been dating ever since! We had big plans to take a trip to Ireland (to get engaged) but once COVID hit, Nick secretly had a backup plan. We drove out to the Outer Banks in North Carolina and Nick proposed at this beautiful state park covered in sand dunes called Jockey’s Ridge. It was just the two of us and a photographer.” How romantic is that?! Keep scrolling for more of this amazing couple!

Congratulations, Cheyenne and Nicholas! Thank you so much for choosing us to coordinate your Maui venue wedding. We wish you all the joy in the decades ahead!

It was nothing but magic for Melissa and Chevin’s Maui micro wedding at the 5 Palms in Wailea! With loved ones cheering on, the sparkling ocean in the backdrop, and a love fit for the century, this was a ceremony we won’t soon forget!

The Maui Micro Wedding

Reverend Richardo officiated the ceremony with grace and warmth. It was the perfect mellow yet lovely ceremony. Our bride and groom shared heartfelt vows before they became officially married. They then shared their first dance and swayed in each other’s arms, taking in the special moment. 

After the ceremony, we had a great time helping the Karma Hill Photography team capture spectacular images of Melissa and Chevin as they spent their first hour together as husband and wife. The sunset was simply spectacular. The slightly overcast sky lit up with a brilliant glow as if to say congratulations to our amazing couple. 

Our Couple’s Story

Our bride shares their story: “We met at college in Oklahoma City. Both of us played sports (baseball & volleyball). Our school was pretty small so we made a connection early on. We’ve been dating for 6 years now! We got engaged on December 20th of 2020.”

“The original plan was to take a trip to California and go to San Diego. That’s where he planned on proposing😉. Then covid shut that down so we ended up back in Oklahoma for a few days. Chevin set up a special spot by the lake. And had a fun engagement party with all our friends and family! It was perfect and meant to be that we ended up there!”

Congratulations, Melissa and Chevin! Thank you for trusting us with your Maui micro wedding! We wish you all the best in the future!

Nadya and Jacob’s Maui beach wedding featured glowing love, a joyous family, and a sunset that dreams are made of! Set on the shore of Polo Beach, this beautiful ceremony was the perfect meld of sophistication and the wild tropics. And we just couldn’t get enough of our couple’s adorable little girls! There’s so much we’re excited to share!

The Maui Beach Wedding

Jacob waited patiently as he faced the ocean and awaited the beginning of the marriage to the love of his life. When Nadya stepped out, he couldn’t contain his happiness. Nadya was simply stunning in a couture gown with hand-embroidered beading and carrying a custom cascading bouquet of orchids and tropical greenery. What an entrance! 

Reverend Kuya officiated with warmth and grace, and soon it was time for the big kiss to seal the deal! Nadya and Jacob celebrated their first few minutes as husband and wife among loved ones and with their sweet daughters in their arms. As the daylight faded away, a vivid sunset of bursting hues stretched across the sky. It was the perfect ending to a perfect day. 

Our Couple’s Story

Like some of the best love stories, Nadya and Jacob met in high school. They work together in Nadya’s family’s construction business and have two beautiful children together.

Since the beginning of their relationship, Jacob felt marriage wasn’t in their future because it was the love that mattered, not the documents. And there is no question that Nadya and Jacob have endless love for each other! But one day, he changed his mind, and last summer he surprised Nadya with a ring and a very important question! The rest is right here on our blog!

Mahalo nui loa, Nadya and Jacob, for trusting us to coordinate your Maui beach wedding. We had a great time getting to know you and your loved ones. We wish you all the happiness in the years ahead!

With hearts full of love, Meagan and Chris married last week at a Beach Wedding in Maui. We loved working with this sweet couple, and their ceremony was a dream! The calm Hawaii water and light gold sand offered the perfect setting to say “I-Do”. Reverend Kuya led them in a heartfelt ceremony that included both Hawaiian and religious elements. Check out some of the photos from their Maui Beach Wedding!

About Our Couple

Meagan & Chris are originally from the same Alabama town, but these days they call Florida home. They had known of each other for a while, but didn’t connect until 2016 when Meagan almost ran into him on the drive to work one morning. Uh oh! Good thing it was just a near-miss, AND it gave Chris the perfect excuse to get in touch with her!

Finally in 2020, these two got engaged! They had a hard time finding the perfect venue until they started considering a destination wedding. Once they started dreaming of getting away, they realized a Beach Wedding in Maui was the perfect option for them! We’re so glad we got to coordinate a great wedding for such a sweet couple!

So Much to Look Forward To

Meagan & Chris came to Oahu together back in 2017, but this was their first time coming to Maui. A destination wedding in Maui was such a great way to begin the next chapter of their life together. Their happiness was contagious as they shared their vows and finally became husband & wife!

And there’s still so much to look forward to in 2021! We hope to see them on Maui again as their family continues to grow!

Congratulations, Megan & Chris! We are so excited for you and grateful for this chance to work with you!!

Kendra and Robert’s gorgeous venue wedding in Maui felt like a little holiday of its own! With lots of friends and family cheering them on and plenty to smile about, it was like the ocean was clapping along with the guests! Come see all the happy moments during this unforgettable ceremony at the 5 Palms in Wailea. 

The Venue Wedding in Maui

The 5 Palms is a venue like no other. With a ceremony location directly on the oceanfront and an island breeze touched with the salt of the sea, this is truly the experience of paradise. Kendra and Robert seemed right at home amongst the beauty. Wearing a striking gown with bell sleeves and endless lace, Kendra looked radiant. Robert watched his beautiful bride approach with a welcoming look of pure love. 

Following their “I do’s,” our couple sliced into a simple wedding cake decorated with flowers to match our bride’s gorgeous bouquet. Loved ones were laughing and chatting excitedly to celebrate Kendra and Robert’s union as our photography team whisked them away for some romantic couple’s portraits by the ocean. 

The ceremony was slightly overcast, but with the Maui sky, clouds are a good thing when it comes to sunset! The entire sky lit up with a brilliant glow as the island wished Kendra and Robert happiness and love in their marriage. It was the perfect ending to a beautiful venue wedding in Maui.

Congratulations, Kendra and Robert! It was a joy working with you, and we wish you all the happiness in the years to come!

The sky was heavenly for Riley and Alex’s Beach Wedding in Hawaii. Set on the white sands of Kanaha Beach Park with guests in shades of blue, this big day featured all the smiles and plenty of tropical vibes. This summertime wedding was simply unforgettable. 

The Beach Wedding in Hawaii

Reverend Peter opened the ceremony by blowing on the Hawaiian conch. And as Riley walked down the sandy aisle, Alex’s expression of joy and excitement could not be overlooked! These two shared so many sweet moments and happy smiles, which is truly the best part of any beach wedding in Hawaii. 

We’re all about Riley’s gorgeous gown and the way it accents her vibrant tattoo. Paired with a beachy side-sweep and elegant accessories, this bride is on-point with the beach wedding style! We love how Alex complements the look in a tailored suit with a splashy tropical tie. 

Following their sweet vows and tender embraces, Riley and Alex celebrated their union with gorgeous photos against the vibrant backdrop. Our Maui Wedding Photographers perfectly framed the beauty of the island and captured the excitement of the day. Riley and Alex were so obviously thrilled to be married. It was a joy to work with such a loving and laid-back couple. Scroll on for more of their beautiful day!

Earlier we mentioned the sky was heavenly… but so was the bride!

Thank you, Riley and Alex, for choosing us to coordinate your beach wedding in Hawaii. We had a wonderful time working with you and getting to know you both. We wish you plenty of love and happiness in the many years ahead!

Sharlene and Kevin were married at Gannon’s Maui Wedding Venue, overlooking Wailea and the sweeping coastal views. Sharlene walked down the aisle to “Here Comes the Sun,” and the choice couldn’t have been more perfect. The sunlight behaved like a dream during Sharlene and Kevin’s big day, gentle during the ceremony and brilliant during the photo session! 

The Maui Wedding Venue

Gannon’s Restaurant features an unparalleled view from the terrace. Framed with florals and greenery and with an onsight reception option, Sharlene and Kevin knew this was the perfect Maui wedding venue for their special day. A simple yet elegant bamboo arch created a classic backdrop for their “I do’s” while the spacious venue allowed plenty of room for their guests’ seating. 

We’re in love with the subtle way the bridesmaids’ dresses bring out the bright pops of bougainvillea. Not to mention how modern and stylish the groomsmen look! But of course, the real showstoppers were our sweet couple. Sharlene and Kevin could not stop smiling! When you’re marrying the love of your life, your cheeks are bound to hurt the next day! 

Our Couple’s Story

This is the first time our couple has been to Maui, and what a fantastic first it is! With Oahu already pegged on their map, Sharlene and Kevin wanted a rustic wedding that was relaxing and beautiful yet would still make a lasting impression on their guests. You can’t go wrong with a destination like Maui! 

These two nurses met at work and have a brilliant five-year-old daughter together. As they got to know each other, they realized they shared a lot of interests, including hiking, traveling, and watching anime. Kevin knew he wanted to involve a hike when he popped the big question. He arranged for a day around Yosemite, and he went down on a knee near a bubbling creek with the purple mountains in the backdrop. Sharlene said “Yes!”, and now this adventurous couple is saying “I do” in yet another one of the most beautiful places on earth! Keep scrolling for more!

Mahalo, Sharlene and Kevin, for selecting us to coordinate your wedding. It was a beautiful day, and we wish you all the smiles in the future!

There was so much to love about Kendyl & Cole’s wedding in Maui! The Rustic Hawaiian Ruins provided a dreamy setting, perfectly shaded by palm trees and decorated with tropical plants. Their ceremony was made complete with Hawaiian traditions and ukulele music. Their guests had such a great time, but most importantly, Kendyl & Cole were totally in love!

An Engagement and a Wedding in Maui!

These two love birds got engaged at Sweetheart Rock in West Maui, so it was only appropriate that they become husband & wife in Maui too! They are an adventurous couple whose personalities balance each other perfectly.

Karma Hill photography captured their wedding & portraits. Kendyl said she wanted their weddings photos to be natural & authentic. That was pretty easy considering this couple is so natural with each other. Check out how they make each other smile throughout the evening!

Simply Excited

Kendyl & Cole had been enjoying a vacation with their guests, and had a honeymoon to look forward to also! They decided not to see each other before their ceremony, so we got to witness Cole’s reaction as he saw Kendyl walking down the aisle.

The drive over to the venue from Kaanapali was stressful for some of the group, as traffic got really bad that day! But they were all smiles as they arrived. They were simply excited to be a part of such a happy event in a beautiful place!

Easy Breezy Wedding in Maui

After the ceremony, we took some photos with their friends & family. The shady & breezy setting at the Rustic Hawaiian Ruins helped keep the guests cool and comfortable during the ceremony and their pictures. After that, the guests headed off to Gannon’s in Wailea, while the newlyweds enjoyed some romantic portraits at the beach.

The Karma Hill Photography team took so many great shots at this wedding in Maui, but we especially love those dreamy beach shots just before the sun went down. Keep scrolling to check it out!

Congratulations, Kendyl & Cole! We loved being a part of your wedding in Maui, and we hope to see you again here soon!
