What a special day we had with Saleena & Todd! Their Maui venue wedding was absolutely stunning in every way and we’re so excited to relive it here with you through photos!

The Steeple House in Kapalua offers a private setting while still overlooking the beautiful Pacific Ocean. The bridal suite provided a cool setting for Saleena to put the final touches before her walk down the aisle. She looked so gorgeous and we really loved capturing all her beauty and excitement. She walked out of the Steeple House to the ceremony setting where Todd and her friends and family awaited her arrival. Their stunning ceremony was officiated by Saleena’s brother which made the vows even more special. Afterward they all celebrated with group portraits and some cake!!

This photo really portrays the setting for Saleena & Todd’s outdoor wedding experience. It was a beautiful event shared with family and friends with a gorgeous blue ocean in the background while being surrounded by warm temperatures and a beautiful green landscape.

The

Saleena & Todd’s hook up was such a sweet (and direct) story. Saleena’s mom actually hooked the two up! She went right up to Todd in the shop they worked together at and asked if he was single? Mom got his number for Saleena so she texted him later that week. The two have been inseparable ever since! Thanks mom!! Nice work!

Saleena & Todd decided that on their wedding day they wanted a few portraits of the two of them but it was also very important for them to celebrate with their family. They chose to add on another 1 hour session the very next day so that they could get some more memorable shots just the two of them. We really enjoyed having the extra time with them, they were relaxed, happy, and looking amazing for their portraits!!

Mahalo for choosing us to coordinate your beautiful Maui wedding Saleena & Todd! It was a gorgeous day celebrating a gorgeous couple and we hope you enjoyed yourselves as much as we did!

Agi & Jimmy are a sweet couple from Illinois that we had the pleasure of meeting last week! They decided on a Maui beach elopement after several other wedding plan options over the past year. They met on Match.com about 3 years ago and have been inseparable ever since. Their very first date was meeting up for drinks at a local bar. Many shared interests and dates later they decided to tie the knot! What an honor it is that they chose us to be a part of it!

Agi & Jimmy’s road to the wedding wasn’t ALL fun and games of course. I mean, we are in the middle of a pandemic! Just getting to Hawaii has its challenges. Once they got on island and started heading out to their hotel, they were halted in their tracks by the Olowalu brush fire. They ended up spending their first night on Maui sleeping in their car. Not exactly how they wanted to spend their first day of vacation. But good attitudes and a beautiful wedding to look forward to made it easier to bear. And hopefully, the hotel credited you for the first night! 😉

Just after their wedding ceremony, Jacob from Manutea Nui E offered a sweet serenade for Agi & Jimmy to dance to. What a special moment, first dance as husband and wife.

This elegant couple looked magnificent as the pastel sunset hues faded into the ocean.

Morning weddings have truly been missed these past few months!! The calm serene setting, the bright blue skies, the happy faces, there’s really nothing like it! Daniela & Brent’s Maui beach elopement was nothing shy of all those things; calm and serene, bright and vibrant skies, and filled with happiness!

Brent is a police officer and Daniela works in the school system in Illinois. She’s also going to school for interior design. This sweet couple was so happy to get out of the 40-degree weather in Chicago and had plans of adventuring around the island hiking and trying new restaurants for their honeymoon. After their gorgeous Maui wedding, they were prepared to enjoy it all as a newlywed husband and wife.

We absolutely LOVE the color of Brent’s suit! Daniela & Brent wanted to stay away from the super popular navy color but still keeping it blue. This color was perfect; they liked it because it reminded them of the ocean and still remained unique. Apparently Reverend Kuya really liked the color as well because he showed up in the same color kihei! The color looked amazing set against the morning blue ocean and the hues of blue in the Puukukui mountain range. Well done team!

The beach was gorgeous this particular morning!! A few people walking here and there but we pretty much had it all to ourselves. We took full advantage walking up and down before dipping off into the shade for a few shots in the greenery.

Thank you so much Daniela & Brent for choosing Simple Maui Wedding to be a part of your Maui Elopement! We really enjoyed meeting you and look forward to seeing you back in Maui soon.

Cortney & Sean made the decision that NOTHING was going to stop them from having their Hawaii elopement in Maui!! Covid-19 made it nearly impossible for so many couples to fulfill their dreams of having a Maui wedding but this resilient couple spent 2 weeks in quarantine just so they could step outside on this gorgeous beach for the Maui wedding day! 

It was a beautiful morning at Maluaka Beach and we had the whole north side of the beach to ourselves. It was so quiet it was almost like they had a private venue. Their intimate ceremony was officiate by Richardo and they have CJ serenading them with the ukulele. It set the perfect scene for a special day.

Cortney & Sean wrote their own vows to each other. They were so special and sweet. Cortney did mention that if they were able to survive the two week quarantine together that they’d be able to survive anything together!! Love their sweet and funny personalities!

Cortney’s tattoo’s are UNREAL!!! They look so gorgeous next to her “Mikaella” gown from Bespoke Bride in Oregon.

After their beautiful ceremony, we took this fun couple down to the South end of Maluaka Beach where there were only 2 beachgoers. Although we really miss all our friends and clients from the mainland, we sure do enjoy these empty beaches!

Thank you so much Cortney & Sean for choosing Simple Maui Wedding to coordinate your special day! It was an absolute honor working with you and being a part of such a special moment for you! We wish you the very best and hope that you return to Maui in the future for Anniversary or Family portraits!!

Check out our last Maui elopement on the blog here: https://simplemauiwedding.net/beach-wedding-in-maui-tricia-billy/

The anticipation was truly felt by all of us for Tricia & Billy’s Beach Wedding in Maui. They waited a lifetime for each other, and we waited 5 months since our last wedding! It’s been rough not having weddings in our life every single day. We’ve been looking forward to this gorgeous ceremony just as much as Tricia & Billy!

Tricia & Billy met 3 years ago when she decided to swipe Right on Tinder. Billy thought it was his dashing good looks but it was actually all because of his name. See, Tricia’s dog was named Billy, and as all dog owners know, they are one of the most special beings in your life. She felt it was meant to be!

It was a beautiful afternoon at Southside Beach. The warm sun with a light breeze offered the perfect setting for these two to share their vows with one another. Although they had planned for many family and friends (and their dogs) to be there on their wedding day, things didn’t work out quite as planned.

Quarantine orders for the guests coming from the mainland made it nearly impossible for loved ones to attend. Instead, this resilient couple brought Live Maui Webcasts along to film it for everyone watching from their homes in the mainland. This awful pandemic may have put up hurdles in our lives but Tricia & Billy weren’t going to let it get in the way of their love. In fact, it’s stronger than ever now as they embark on this new chapter as husband and wife.

Billy restored his blue Bronco all himself! It was the perfect prop for their wedding pictures. Billy planned a fun “honeymoon weekend” adventuring around West Maui in the Bronco before heading back to work on Monday.

At Simple Maui Wedding, we exclusively hire Karma Hill Photography for all of our gorgeous wedding captures. For Sunny & Aaron’s beautiful wedding at the 5 Palms, Cheynice, one of their talented photographers, summed up the occasion so perfectly, that we thought we’d let her tell the story of this incredible ceremony:

“When I arrived at Sunny’s condo, she was hard at work perfecting her makeup, almost overwhelmed. We were all so glad she took her time with her makeup because she looked absolutely stunning when she was all done! She even cried as she was putting on her dress because she was so emotional that her makeup was perfect and everything was finally coming together. As her dress was buttoned up, she added the pearl necklace her mother-in-law let her borrow. It was such a classy touch to her beauty.”

“It was drizzling just before Reverend Richardo’s conch blew, but when Sunny arrived, the rain stopped moments before she made her entrance.”

“Everyone loved Richardo’s ceremony. He had the couple and all of the guests laughing and smiling throughout, which was just what the couple wanted.”

“After the ceremony, we gathered for photos on the beach of the 5 Palms. Keawekapu is where they love to hang out as a family together, so it’s become a sentimental beach for them all.”

“As the final minutes of the sunset came to a close, Sunny and Aaron experienced the most vibrant colors for their sunset! Sunny was saying ‘It’s almost comical to have such a perfect sunset!’ It was true since the whole day they had overcast skies leading up to those very last moments.”

“Overall it was a very beautiful day and Sunny and Aaron were left as happy as ever.”

Mahalo nui loa, Sunny & Aaron, for trusting Simple Maui Wedding with your Wedding at the 5 Palms. We wish you all the joy (and vibrant sunsets!) in the years ahead…

Come see another gorgeous ceremony by Simple Maui Wedding: All That You Are – Stephanie & Austen’s Maui Wedding On the Beach

One day, after his mother called to ask when he was going to get married, Daemon sat down with Ruolan and they made the difficult decision to have a Maui beach elopement… just kidding! Far from a difficult choice, these two were happy and immensely relieved to elope in a beautiful island paradise! Ruolan wanted a beach wedding, and the couple had already booked a Maui trip, so the elopement just seemed to fall into place. Simple and as beautiful as can be…

This dynamic duo met online a little over two years ago, and it’s been smooth sailing ever since! With no kids and no pets, our couple loves exploring the diverse food scene in Seattle while saving a drop of time for some West Coast swing dancing! These two are the complete package: brains and beauty! Ruolan works as a family physician for Kaiser Permanente and loves traveling, and Daemon is a data scientist for Microsoft who loves himself a good cocktail! Keep scrolling for all the beautiful and heartwarming shots!

We love the brilliant light and power-poses of this incredible capture! There’s no doubt that this beautiful couple will continue to support and uplift each other in the years ahead…

Our hearts are melting… How precious is this candid moment?!

Draped in a lace halter with endless pleats of chiffon, this bride is gorgeous and eco-friendly… who needs a designer gown when you can get one as stunning as this from a consignment shop!

And speaking of gorgeous, Daemon is on-fleek in a gray wool suit and peach-colored boutonniere. His color pallet perfectly complemented the soft, Hawaiian sunset of their Special Day.

Mahalo nui loa, Ruolan & Daemon, for trusting Simple Maui Wedding with your intimate Maui beach elopement. It was truly our pleasure. We wish you all the love in the years ahead…

This Maui wedding on the beach was the Goldilocks of Hawaiʻi ceremonies: not too hot, not too bright, but just right! The temperament of the weather perfectly suited our beautiful bride and groom, steady and easygoing.

Stephanie & Austen have been together for 8 years, and over the span of six of those cycles around the sun, they’ve been all-in on getting married! So, of course, their guests were thrilled that the Big Day had finally arrived–the celebration was flooded with plenty of cheers and heartfelt congratulations… even a few laughs of “Finally.” Sometimes when a couple belongs together, their friends and family just know! And watching Stephanie & Austen say “I do,” it was pretty clear even to us that they were a match made in Heaven… Or maybe on the shores of Maui? Sometimes it’s hard to tell the two apart. Keep scrolling and you’ll see why!

We absolutely love it when pets and service animals join the festivities! They bring such honest energy and charm to the ceremony, not to mention such incredible cuteness! Check out that lei!

And check out that bride! Speaking of honest energy… Stephanie looks positively radiant. She glows with grace and confidence. With her proud parents at her side, this Maui bride is the pinnacle of spirit and beauty…

Our couple chose to have Austen’s best friend, Bobby, officiate their wedding. This was his first ceremony and he nailed it!

Can we pause for a moment to stress how much fun we had capturing the dynamics of this Maui beach wedding crew! Check out their expressions and poses… what a great shot!

And for more great shots, keep swiping!

Congratulations, Stephanie & Austen!! Thank you for choosing Simple Maui Wedding to coordinate your Maui wedding on the beach… It was absolutely gorgeous!! We wish you all the best in the years ahead!

Thirty-five friends and family members flew out to the island to support Nicole & Ivan during their Maui wedding at the Four Seasons. And it was nothing short of a once-in-a-lifetime celebration!

And with a love as fiery as the one shared between these two, the night just wouldn’t be complete without a Polynesian fire dancer! The flames lit up the room and were only rivaled by the cheers of the guests!

Come see another beautiful venue wedding from Simple Maui Wedding: Scot, In the Name of Love – Donelle & Steven’s Hawaii Venue Wedding

Considering the easygoingness of Mattye & Luke’s Maui beach wedding, it’s little surprise that they hail from a small Arkansas town called Pleasant Plains. These cattle farmers love the breezy and rustic pasture life, so when they found Simple Maui Wedding, they knew our laidback yet elegant approach to beach ceremonies was the perfect fit for them!

Our couple met over seven years ago, and even though Luke was involved with someone else at the time, he knew he was destined to be with Mattye. But it wasn’t until years later when an innocent Facebook comment on a newborn calf kickstarted their journey together. And from then on, they were unstoppable!

Luke proposed to Mattye in her favorite restaurant, The Olive Garden. After the meal he excused himself, and when he returned to the table he was down on one knee, ring in hand.

A friendly server recorded the special moments, capturing all the tears and laughter. And looking over these tender and heartfelt images, it’s easy to envision the lifetime of sincere and honest love that lies ahead for these two…

We’re blown away by these striking sunset photos! Peaches and French blues are boldly accented by the rocky outcrop. We love how our couple is perfectly framed by the soft golden light…

Mahalo nui loa, Mattye & Luke, for trusting us with your Maui beach wedding. We wish you all the very best in the years ahead…

Come see another recent Maui beach wedding: Love at the Furfront – Sharon & Michael’s Maui Beach Elopement

The Maui venue wedding of Nikkie & Erik began with an intimate and misty ceremony, and it finished with a splash of cherry and blush that took our breath away! Together for 11 years, these high school sweethearts said “I do” on the patio of the 5 Palms in Wailea. And we were beyond charmed with their genuine love and affection…

Although the ceremony was overcast, the guests at this wedding had the most awe-inspiring view… the endearing couple! And they really were a beautiful pair! The subtle blush-tones of Nikkie’s locks added a delicate “pop” to her traditional bridal decore and highlighted her radiant beauty. And Erik pulled off all the laidback style of a Maui groom in love.

Officiating the ceremony was the delightful Reverend Richardo. Never short of a laugh or wise insight, Richardo has the profound ability to bring about smiles and heartfelt moments of joy.

Shortly after the big “I do,” the rain ceased and the sky was washed in bursts of dusky pinks and rouge. It was almost as if the island was sending a sign and rejoicing in the couple’s new union. After all, who wouldn’t be rejoicing when greeted with smiles like these!

Of course, we took advantage of the serendipitous change and stepped out onto the shores of Keawakapu for some soft and magical couples portraits… Keep scrolling for all the blushing moments!

Thank you, Nikkie & Erik. We were honored to help make your Maui venue wedding dreams come true! We wish you the fondest Aloha in the years ahead…

Check out another one of our recent Maui destination weddings: Instant Chemistry – Jacquelyn & Kyle’s Wailea Beach Wedding in Maui

Subtle yet vivid… seemingly a contradiction, but the perfect way to summarize Tina & Kirill’s sophisticated venue wedding in Maui, HI. Surrounded by the outdoors beauty of the Steeple House at Kapalua, bursts of rich burgundy and mulberry added a drop of glamour to this surprisingly relaxed ceremony.

Together for over five years, Tina and Kirill first met while interning as software engineers at BlackBerry. Now residing in Seatle, this jet-setting couple flew out to the Big Island to capture their engagement photos against the tropical locale. So when it came time to say “I do” Tina and Kirill felt the “Magic Isle” would be the perfect place to get Maui’d! And it was on the slopes of the West Maui Mountains, where this couple effortlessly raised the bar for Hawaii destination weddings!

Need proof? Keep scrolling!

Draped in an ivory princess gown with a lace illusion neckline, Tina looks as if she just stepped out of a fairytale…

And speaking of fairytales, we’re head-over-heels for this gorgeous custom floral arrangement by our friends at Dellables! Boysenberry with splashes of evergreen and peach, the rich hues of this bouquet perfectly complement Tina’s natural beauty.

And in the classic black-and-white, Kirill makes for a gorgeous groom!

These spectacular portraits atop the cliffs of Ironwoods beach are epic in the most traditional sense… poetic and awe-inspiring, these captures are only paralleled by our bride and groom’s love story…

Thank you, Tina & Kirill, for trusting Simple Maui Wedding with your Special Day. You have our heartfelt congratulations and fondest Aloha…
