Brooklyn and Sergio were surrounded by beauty during their venue wedding in Hawaii. On the outlook point of Gannon’s Ceremony Knoll, our couple’s backdrop was the panoramic view of Maui’s southern shore. A handful of family watched on as Brooklyn and Sergio said “I do” in an intimate venue kissed by the island sun. 

The Venue Wedding in Hawaii

The morning of the wedding ceremony was lush and vivid, with clear skies and spectacular ocean blues! Reverend Kuya opened the ceremony with a prayer and the traditional conch shell, and when Brooklyn stepped out on the lawn, even the mynah birds hushed their chatter. 

We love how the elegant floral design and ribbing of Brooklyn’s bodice gown paired with her cathedral-length veil. With a custom bouquet peppered with hues of blush and pink, Brooklyn is take-your-breath-away gorgeous! In a blush tie to match his bride, Sergio looks dashing in a fitted suit of navy blue. Keep scrolling for more of this sweet couple and their beautiful day!

Our Couple’s Story

Brooklyn and Sergio both hail from the Lone Star State. Sergio is a welder and travels often for his job, but luckily he stays mostly in Texas. Brooklyn is a Registered Respiratory Therapist and is currently in charge of the pulmonary rehabilitation at the hospital in their hometown of Nocona. They look forward to starting a family after their union, but as of right now, already enjoy the company of their two Frenchy furbabies, Leila and Ivy. 

Destiny got to work early with Brooklyn and Sergio, bringing them together as soon as high school. Brooklyn said, “We dated for around a year and a half our freshman and sophomore years, so we have known each other a while! Although very cheesy, he was actually my very first kiss!” Although their courtship didn’t progress past sophomore year, they kept in touch and rekindled their romance after Brooklyn graduated college in 2014.

When the time was right, Sergio proposed after hosting a small gathering of family. Brooklyn was shocked: “I think it was perfect because it completely caught me off guard. During this pandemic, we do not get dressed up very often and go places, so if we would have, I might have suspected something!” Well played, Sergio. Well played! Read on for the beach photography and all the sun a couple in love could ask for!   

Congratulations, Brooklyn and Sergio! Thank you for choosing us to coordinate your venue wedding in Hawaii. It was a joy working with you, and we wish you all the best in the years ahead!

Imagine driving up to your Hawaii Venue Wedding in the MogWest version of the Morgan 3-wheeler, dressed to the nines, and with friends and family cheering you on. That’s exactly how Milorose and Kenji made their entrance! Does it get much cooler?! Together on the lawn of Gannon’s Restaurant in Wailea, Milorose and Kenji celebrated their love through marriage. This one is a must-see! 

The Hawaii Venue Wedding 

Following their roaring entrance, Milorose and Kenji stood together on the ceremonial lawn, with only south Maui’s sweeping views as their backdrop. Dressed in a two-piece gown with a lace crop-top, chiffon skirt, and a beachy up-do, Milorose easily outshone the posh designer cruiser!

Looking sleek himself, Kenji’s three-piece linen suit in aquamarine paired elegantly with his bride’s unique gown. With a Hawaii venue wedding ten years in the making, the emotions were running high. Keep scrolling for the sweet reactions! 

Following the “I do’s”, we had to have one more look at that cruiser. Then, of course, a first dance on the shoreline! We took the short trip to Southside Beach with Milorose and Kenji, and there they celebrated with twirling, laughter, and a whole lot of gorgeous sunset shots!  

Our Couple’s Story

Milorose works in consumer lending, while Kenji owns a bike shop. They love to bike, hike, and do anything outdoorsy. Their love story began when a mutual friend introduced them at a club while Kenji was working as a promoter.

Within months, the relationship was official, but it wasn’t until ten years later that Kenji booked a romantic hotel suite getaway and got down on his knee. Milorose mused, “Took him a while but he did it!” And in the end, that’s all that matters! It’s so clear that Milorose and Kenji have an unbreakable love that will last an eternity.

Congratulations, Milorose and Kenji! Thank you for choosing us to coordinate your Hawaii Venue Wedding. We wish you all the best in the years ahead!

There was no shortage of love and sunshine for Mackenzie and Cody’s Micro Wedding in Hawaii. Set on the sweeping lawn of Gannon’s grassy knoll, Mackenzie and Cody said “I do” beneath an elegant bamboo arch with the panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean in the backdrop. 

The Micro Wedding in Hawaii Ceremony

There was magic in the air the moment Mackenzie made her appearance. When she locked eyes with Cody, our groom became visibly overcome with emotion. Few things compare to watching our couples step into the adventure of marriage together. Moments like these are why we love what we do! 

Carrying a custom bouquet of silver dollar eucalyptus and white roses, Mackenzie embodied the beauty of Spring. Her twisted up-do and ornamental open-backed gown were just the right combinations of sophistication and simplicity. The groomsmen and Cody’s steel-gray suits and Prussian blue ties paired perfectly with the dusky blues of the bridesmaids. From pin-worthy poses to playful antics, we had a blast working with this crew and love how their Maui Wedding Photography turned out!

Our Couple’s Story 

Mackenzie and Cody have been an item for a decade. They’re currently building a house together (the literal kind and the figurative house of marriage!). Mackenzie and Cody love the thrill of adventure! You can find them on their wave runner in the summer, or on a pair of dirt bikes or UTV vehicles. As you might have guessed, they LOVE the sunshine! And it’s a good thing too, because their Micro Wedding in Hawaii was flooded with it! 

Following their ceremony, we brought Mackenzie and Cody down to the shoreline for gorgeous couples portraits against a backdrop of dreamy pastels. You don’t want to miss this! 

Thank you, Mackenzie and Cody, for trusting us with your Micro Wedding in Hawaii. We had an amazing time getting to know you both and wish you all the joy in the years ahead!

Kylee and Jay originally had their Wedding in Maui scheduled for 2020, but because of COVID travel restrictions, they decided to postpone it to this year. Their new wedding date was flooded with sunlight and too many smiles to count! So we feel it’s safe to say that this wedding was worth the wait. 

The Wedding in Maui Ceremony

The grassy knoll at Gannon’s in Wailea set the stage, and the venue was flooded with warm Maui light. Kylee entered with her proud mother and stepfather at her side, and her very own grandmother conducted the ceremony. Kylee’s grandmother has officiated the majority of the family’s weddings and baptisms, and it was truly an honor to work with them to keep this special tradition alive. It was a touching moment when all five of Kylee and Jay’s children came forward during the ceremony. The bride’s eyes weren’t the only pair tearing up during this sweet wedding in Maui!

Following the ceremony and group shots of the happy family, we took the short trip down to White Rock beach for some Maui Wedding Photography against the sunset. Keep scrolling for gorgeous skies of pastel pink and more beautiful moments from Kylee and Jay’s special day!

Thank you, Kylee and Jay, for choosing us to help make your wedding dreams come true in Maui! We had a wonderful time getting to know you and your family. We wish you all the best in the years ahead!

When Makayla and Kevin met at the flooring store they worked at, they would never guess they would build their own hardwood flooring business together as well as their family! This sweet couple has two adorable girls that loved seeing mom and dad all dressed up getting married. We loved being a part of their Maui venue wedding and were happy that we could create a romantic intimate day for them and their family.

Makayla and Kevin were planning on a big wedding back home in San Diego but obviously, that became impossible, so they re-focused and decided an intimate wedding in Maui would be a lovely way to get married and still make it special. We could not agree more, Maui is the perfect place to host a small wedding while creating beautiful memories.

Makayla wanted to do a first look with her dad before the ceremony. We just love this! Look at the expression on his face when he sees his little girl for the first time as a bride! He happiness and joy on his face is priceless.

Mahalo Makayla and Kevin for choosing us to be your Maui wedding planners, we loved being a part of your day!!

When your love is strong, and your bond is unbreakable, not even a global pandemic is going to get in the way! Samolia and Mark had originally planned for a beach wedding but switched to a Maui venue wedding at Gannon’s due to permitting group size restrictions. The intimate, quiet setting proved to be a lovely place to say “I do”.

After the ceremony, the newlyweds went down to the beach to get some iconically beautiful beach pictures. Being flexible is the key to having an enjoyable wedding in these uncertain times and we are so happy that Samolia and Mark chose us to help them through and make sure they had an amazing day!

Mark & Samolia celebrated their 5 year Anniversary on the first day of their marriage! It was clear during their vows that these two have so much love for each other. The both shed tears and so did their family and friends who shared in the moment with them!

Southside Beach was just a hop, skip and a jump away from Gannon’s and Samolia & Mark were sure to take advantage. Most of our private venues have a beach just a short drive or walk away from the ceremony location.

It was a perfect evening, a perfect sunset, and we got to share it with two very special people. Mahalo Samolia & Mark for giving us the honor of planning your Maui venue wedding. You were such a pleasure to work with and we wish you two many years of love and happiness.

Overlooking Wailea, the grassy terrace set the stage for Ashley & Robert’s airy and elegant Gannon’s wedding on Maui. The weather was perfect for an outdoor ceremony: overcast skies with soft, romantic lighting and a cool breeze that drifted up from the ocean.

Shades of purple were the colors of choice for this vibrant young couple. After visiting Ali’i Kula Lavender Farm, Ashley and Robert fell in love with the subtle hues and wanted to weave the soft color palette into their Special Day. And the result? Beauty for ages!

Robert looked on-point in a dusky lavender tie and a violet boutonniere.

And their adorable (and very good girl) Chloe joined the party while sporting an extra stylish purple hair ribbon. Which was just the cutest thing! Who’s a pretty girl?

Ashley is! We love this shot of pure joy on Robert’s face as he watches his bride walk down the aisle. Keep scrolling for all of the heartwarming moments!

After our beautiful couple said “I do,” we traveled down to the white sandy shore of Southside beach. These two newlyweds have a special connection to the Wailea cost… It was about a year and a half ago, on the shore of Po’olenalena, where Robert asked Ashley to be his wife.

And to make it something of a tradition, they hoped to visit as many Maui beaches as possible during their stay… in fact, Southside was the beach they’d planned on visiting next! It worked out perfectly… and speaking of perfection, we can’t get over how amazing these Maui couples portraits came out!

Mahalo nui loa, Ashley and Robert, for choosing us to plan your Gannon’s wedding on Maui. It was truly a beautiful occasion. We wish you all the very best in the years ahead…

This Hawaii venue wedding at Gannon’s in Wailea was a celebration to remember! No lad or las could have been happier than Donelle & Steven on this special day. Bright and vivid, the weather showcased the tropics at its finest, warmth punctuated by a sweet ocean breeze. And in addition to the tang of the sea, rolling through the air that morning was the melodic sound of the highlands… because no true Scottman’s wedding would be complete without the unmistakable legato of the bagpipes!

Our couple’s love story began in a modern way–over the internet! And now our Canadian bride and Scottish groom have brought along their closest family and traveled to the middle of the Pacific Ocean to say “I do” on one of the most beautiful islands in the world! Keep scrolling for all of the magic (and kilts)!

Decked out in black and his family’s blue and red tartan, Steven was the epitome of a groom in love. And it was hard to look away from Donnelle’s simple yet sophisticated style. Reminiscent of old Gaelic ballads, her style perfectly complemented their unique love story.

Following the ceremony, we stepped down to the shore of Southside Beach to capture some intimate moments between the couple…

And what happens when a kilt, a lovely couple, and a Maui seaside all walk into a photo… SPECTACULAR images are captured!

Mahalo nui loa, Donnelle & Steven, for trusting us with your unforgettable Hawaii venue wedding. We wish you an abundance of love and music in the years ahead…

Come see another one of our recent Maui venue weddings: Complete Ceremony Privacy ~ Deidre & David’s Maui Elopement

We were swept away by the endlessly romantic Maui venue wedding of Jessica & Matthew. Gannon’s set the stage for this dreamy ceremony, just a stone’s throw away from the Emerald Golf Course in Wailea. 

Humpback whales splashed in the shimmering ocean backdrop as the guests located their seats. And although the ceremony started out slightly overcast, when Jessica began her walk down the aisle, the clouds parted, allowing the sun to cascade down on her gentle smile. It was a suiting metaphor for the boundless love that radiates between these two.   

Blooms of blush, tropical pinks and palms added a touch of whimsy to this impeccably polished ceremony. And speaking of whimsy, Kahu Richardo Hanako’o ordained the wedding ceremony, gracing the couple with his wise words and contagious laughter. 

We loved how the garments of the bride’s squad perfectly married their unique styles with the overarching theme. Exquisitely matched in a single shade of subdued coral, each member showcased his or her own flair with bold straps and jacket choices.

To tie it all up, the day closed with a breathtaking sunset that was vividly mirrored in the gentle waves of White Rock beach. Piercing golden rays illuminated the couple’s silhouette and the melodic sounds of the ocean kept tempo with their warm embraces. 

And yet … while the locale was stunning, it simply couldn’t compare to the beauty of this radiant couple. Mahalo, Jessica and Matthew for choosing us to capture your treasured Maui destination wedding …

The sun was shining, the sky was blue; it was the perfect day for a Hawaii Wedding. Our bride and groom were happy, relaxed and ready to say “I do” atop Gannon’s Grassy knoll.

Their Story

Emily and Daniel met in college where they were both studying Chemical Engineering. We knew they were smart for choosing a Maui wedding, but they are both also super-geniuses in their everyday life. Emily is a quality engineer for diagnostics consumable manufacturing, and Daniel is a post-doctorate fellow on batteries research. Wow!

They already had a family vacation to Maui scheduled and when they got engaged they decided to turn the vacation into a destination Hawaii wedding. Having both never been to Hawaii before, they wanted to show off the tropical beauty in their photos with lots of palm trees and ocean views.

After their ceremony, the couple captured photos with their guests then took advantage of the gorgeous surroundings at Gannon’s for couples portraits before heading to their intimate reception at the restaurant. What a lovely evening for a lovely couple. Thank you, Emily and Daniel, for trusting us to help plan your Maui wedding, we loved being a part of it!

We loved all the unique details that Jordan and Zack put into their wedding. All of our weddings start with a Maui Wedding Package and then it’s up to our couples to decide how much or little they want to customize them. Jordan and Zack booked our Gannon’s Maui Venue Wedding package and added many special touches that made their wedding day 100% them. One of the first things the guests saw as they arrived was a lei and a fan on their chair to start the festivities.

Choosing to say their vows privately to each other after their first look was another special touch. This intimate moment was so special to witness and we know they will remember it for the rest of their lives. It was also a good way to take some of the pressure off and calm their nerves for their venue wedding ceremony!

• 

• 

The couple also decided to bring their own officiant, who married Zack’s parents over 30 years ago! That is not only special but has to carry some good luck along with it!

After the ceremony, the couple had fun taking photos with their wedding party. They all looked so good and the bridesmaids dresses matched the bright tropical theme that carried into the reception which included custom signs and pineapple centerpieces.

Before Jordan and Zack joined their guests at the reception, they snuck away to get some intimate beach photos. The colors of the sunset were extraordinary that night due to a fire in a different part of the island. The smoke in the atmosphere made the sunset look so dreamy and beautiful.

• 

• 

When they returned for their reception they enjoyed first dances, cake cutting, and a dance party. What a perfect end to a perfect day! We feel so honored that Jordan and Zack trusted us to help them plan this very unique venue wedding in Maui and hope they live happily ever after and hear about how amazing their wedding day was from their guests for years to come!

After getting engaged at Keawakapu Beach this summer at sunset, Anna and Brandon were excited to come back for their Maui Venue Wedding! When planning their special day they said they wanted it to be “relaxed, Hawaiian, simple, girly and vibrant”. And we love how it all came together!

With little thoughtful touches, this Maui Venue Wedding was absolute perfection! We especially love that this couple included pineapples down the aisle for added decor. So cute and festive!

• 

•
