Trent and Joanna’s Maui beach wedding was a dream come true for our happy couple! Trent, a Naval Flight Officer with VFA-11 Red Rippers, has always had a special connection to Maui since he was born and raised here! So, when it came time to plan their dream wedding, Trent and Joanna knew that there was no better place to exchange their vows than on a beautiful beach in Maui! Please keep reading to see how their special day unfolded…








As they exchanged their vows at their Maui beach wedding, Trent and Joanna were surrounded by their loved ones, including Trent’s family, who still call Maui home. It was a truly special and meaningful celebration, made even more special because it took place in a place that holds such a special place in Trent’s heart!









As you can imagine, our newlyweds were looking forward to celebrating with their close friends and family, but first, we wanted to capture some intimate moments by the cliffs and the shoreline!






The colors of the beach at Ironwoods Beach were absolutely stunning. The vibrant turquoise waters and lush greenery as the backdrop for their ceremony were perfect! It is a breathtaking location ideal for those looking to get married in a truly stunning and dramatic setting. It will surely take your breath away! Is there anything more romantic than dancing on the beach to the sound of the ocean? We think not!








Congratulations to Trent and Joanna on your beautiful Maui beach wedding! We wish you a lifetime of happiness and adventure together!

Surrounded by their adorable children, Veronica and Chris’ Maui elopement reminded us that family is everything! Our beautiful couple was so happy for this day to arrive finally! They have been anxiously awaiting to tie the knot, so it was our pleasure to coordinate and capture their beautiful beach wedding…Please keep reading to see our favorite highlights from their day!




With their little ones in tow, our charming couple exchanged their personal vows to the sound of the ocean waves in the distance…their arms were just as full as their hearts!





Our happy newlyweds were excited to celebrate with their friends and family in paradise! But, first, they wanted to cherish these precious moments as husband and wife – a rare occasion indeed for parents of four, as you can imagine! So we wanted to ensure that every minute of their Maui elopement would be remembered!






We love these portraits with the dramatic scenery of Ironwoods Beach! The soft colors are so dreamy…Who needs all the bells and whistles of a wedding extravaganza when you have such natural beauty surrounding you? Mother nature provides the best decor you could ever desire!
Veronica looks like an ethereal goddess in her strapless lace gown with a tropical haku crown…perfection! And we love Chris’ suspenders and bow tie that matched the boys – a refreshing and dapper look for a beach wedding!









Congratulations, Veronica and Chris! It was a joy to capture your beach wedding with your sweet family! We hope you see you all again in Maui one day!

Where do we start with our charming couple? Ellie and Doug have worked together for nearly 17 years, but they are not just co-workers, as you might guess! Their Maui elopement marked the pinnacle of their relationship, and we were so pleased to capture every intimate moment! Keep reading to see more highlights from their special day…






Our beautiful couple’s story began years ago…Doug and Ellie met when they worked together on a labor/delivery unit in their local hospital. And to our surprise, they worked many years together before falling in love! Ellie has two daughters of her own, and Doug has two boys, which makes a full and rich life together, as you can imagine! He proposed in June of 2019, in a beautiful private moment at home…and they both wanted something similar for their Maui elopement!






Maui is one of their favorite places, and they have been many times before! They love the privacy and scenery of the island, especially the dramatic cliffs of Ironwoods…and with passing showers out in the ocean, a rainbow appeared to bless them in their next chapter, as you’ll see!





After so many years of being co-workers and friends, we are so happy for these two! They are officially newlyweds! Their Maui elopement was simple, elegant, and intimate – just what they envisioned! A “no fuss, no frills” elopement often can be just as moving and grand as a larger wedding, but more in a more thoughtful and subtle way…just like Ellie and Doug!








Thankfully, the showers over the ocean stayed abrest and didn’t rain on our beautiful newlyweds! It was a little breezy, but that made for gorgeous, beachy photos…







Congratulations, Ellie and Doug! May you have many more years of bliss together with your family!

Cheers to 20 years and many more! We recently had the pleasure of photographing Jessica and Chad’s Maui vow renewal! It was a momentous milestone worth celebrating! They shared their 15th anniversary here on the island and knew immediately they had to return together!



These two longtime lovers left our hearts melting in these photos! It was a sweet moment to see them joined by their younger kids in this marriage milestone! Their Maui vow renewal will be a cherished memory for both in the years ahead!


This was a precious and thoughtful moment as Chad renewed his loving vows…it was so romantic!






Their friends and family were right there waiting to celebrate with them! As you can see, it was a special occasion for two of their kids to see too! Their parent’s love is the foundation of their family!




This photo hints at their first time in Maui! They saw newlyweds on the beach and were left wowed! In addition, they were so captivated by the island’s magic from the sea turtles, rainbows, bamboo forests, and beaches that they knew they had to return for their 20th anniversary!








How gorgeous are these photos? The colors were spectacular for their Maui vow renewal! After so many years together, they are still so in love!



Since our beautiful couple loves Maui’s natural beauty, Ironwoods was the perfect location for their Maui vow renewal! The rugged cliffs with the ocean swirling below them added to the tropical magic they love!

Their love reminds us that true love is everlasting! How happy do they look? The best of friends who still can be silly and laugh together! Chad knew Jessica was the one; he said it was love at first sight and proposed to her at 17! How sweet is that?! And here they are, more in love than ever 20 years later!






We are so happy that we were able to make your Maui vow renewal dream come true! We wish you all the love and laughter in the next decade! Until we see you again in Maui!

Our newlyweds are two of a kind – they are both physicians! So it was our pleasure to capture Thomas and Maelynn’s Maui elopement! Naturally, there were many emotions on their big day but one thing for sure was that they were ready to tie the knot! Please keep reading to see more photographs of their amazing day!



Their beautiful ceremony began at Ironwoods Beach, which was the perfect choice for these two because they love nature and the ocean!


They dreamed of something more secluded for their Maui elopement, so this was a fantastic location for their big day, as you’ll see in the following photos!


Their thoughtful vows deeply touched us; since it was just the two of them, it made it even more moving! It was as if the whole world melted away around them, and they were the only two people in the entire world…so romantic!








It’s not every day we get a beautiful bride in a short flirty dress! But we love how Maelynn veered away from tradition and opted for a flowy beach dress! It was playful and fun! Her haku flower crown was magnificent and complemented Thomas’ maile lei beautifully!



After their sweet ceremony, they wanted to take a few portraits with the dramatic scenery in the background. These photos of their Maui elopement mark the next phase of their life together!




It was a little slippery, but these two didn’t mind one bit! And thankfully, it wasn’t too windy either for Maelynn! They were savoring these intimate moments together, as you can see…









Our beautiful newlyweds are originally from Florida and had never been to Maui before, but we think the island gave them its magic blessing in these photos of their Maui elopement!






Mahalo to Maelynn and Thomas on your elopement! You are a beautiful couple, and we wish you all the love, peace, and happiness in your next adventure together as husband and wife! Until we meet again…

A Hawaiian wish that came to life for our sweet couple! Kaitlin & Christopher’s Maui venue wedding was nothing short of a dream. We were beyond thrilled that these two love birds finally tied the knot in Maui! Getting married in Maui has been Kaitlin’s dream ever since she was young, so to see it come to life was heartwarming. So, we wanted to share a sneak peek of their fabulous day! Keep reading to see our favorite moments…






It’s always exciting for our photographers to catch glimpses of our beautiful brides getting ready. Kaitlin was no different, she said she was equally as excited as a bit nervous! She looked absolutely glowing in her frothy gown, we adored the sparkly details in her shoes and hair too – pure perfection! By the time she was dressed, she couldn’t wait to finally show Christopher!


Their story is a modern romance! Our darling couple met on a dating site and sparks flew when they discovered they had so much in common! They are big foodies and love spending quality time with their black lab, Charlie. Six years later they got engaged and their families couldn’t have been happier.
Kaitlin’s grandmother was actually born in Maui so the island holds a special place in her heart. Sadly, she had passed before their big day but you could feel her love and presence showering them all day. We were honored to photograph their big day with this in mind!




Our lovely couple wanted a scenic location with sweeping views for their quiet and intimate ceremony, so they opted for Steeple House, which was perfect for their Maui venue wedding! We love this venue because it offers a traditional ceremony area and easy beach access to Ironwoods, a secluded stretch of beach! Because Kaitlin has a familial tie to the island, she knew she wanted to capture their first newlywed moments on the beach… as you’ll see below, the photographs came out beautiful!







The ocean waves were steadily rolling when we got down to the beach after their Maui venue wedding. The cloudier skies made everything look soft and pastel in color – so flattering! Opposed to a clear sky, we often prefer shooting on these moodier and more overcast days. The photography usually is more serene and evenly lit, as you can see below! Needless to say, our stunning couple was enveloped in these endearing newlywed moments together. The salty breeze guided them, hand in hand, into their next chapter together as husband and wife…









Our newlyweds were swept away in paradise as you can see! A huge mahalo to Kaitlin and Christopher for choosing Simple Maui Wedding, we couldn’t be happier for you both! We wish you all the love, peace, and happiness, on your new journey together! Until we meet again…

We had a ball at Shea & Todd’s Maui elopement! This beautiful pair traveled from Canada to tie the knot in Hawaii, and we’re so glad they did! It was a stunning evening with a captivating couple, and now we get to share some of our favorite photos!
We met Shea & Todd at Ironwoods Beach and took a small hike to the clifftop, where unbeatable views awaited us. Reverend Kimo officiated the ceremony — he brought Hawaiian traditions and a lot of heart. Keep scrolling to see how amazing this elopement was!






Shea & Todd valued the simplicity and elegance of a Maui Elopement, but there was a tinge of worry to their wedding day. Rain hovered on the radar, threatening to claim their tropical dream. Of course, there is beauty in dreamy, rainy wedding days, but there was something else in store for this darling duo: dry weather, glowing sunset lighting, and pastel skies.
We had the best view of all that up on the cliffs at Ironwoods Beach. This spot is great for adventurous elopers who don’t mind the wind and rugged terrain. Luckily Shea & Todd are as adventurous as they get, and they really shined in this elevated setting.
These two would have been all smiles in any setting — it’s their love that prevails time and again, and they always find joy in everyday life. But here in Hawaii, surrounded by such natural beauty, their joy was enhanced, lifted, and transformed into hope they can carry for a lifetime.
It’s couples like this that remind us how much we love planning Maui elopements!








Nearly every wedding involves diamonds, but Shea & Todd are drawn to a different kind of diamond — the one found at the ball fields. Avid baseball & softball fans, they also both play the sport and love spending their free time on the fields.
While their love of baseball bonded them early on, they actually met playing dodgeball. We guess they couldn’t dodge the spark of romance between them, but why would they want to?
Shea & Todd are such a cute couple, full of life and adventure. And their Maui elopement allowed them to slow down and truly appreciate their love story.
Now that they’ve had their breathtaking Maui wedding, they can look forward to what’s ahead. Supporting each other in their career goals, spoiling their cute dog Grey, more time playing ball, and hopefully a trip back to Hawaii soon!
We’re so glad we could help Shea & Todd have a memorable and gorgeous Maui elopement! Check out even more of their portraits below!











Congratulations, Shea & Todd! Mahalo for choosing us as your elopement coordinator!

Last week, we had the great honor of coordinating Jordan & Michael’s Maui Destination Wedding. They married at the Steeple House Maui, a scenic venue in Kapalua. It was a beautiful Hawaii day, and the couple was absolutely stunning.
Now that the wedding day is behind them and their honeymoon comes to a close, it’s time for new excitement: seeing their Maui wedding photos!
We are so excited to share this sneak peek with them. They were filled with so much joy, and their love radiates in each image!









A Maui Destination Wedding was the perfect fit for this fun-loving couple. Jordan & Michael are both nurses — that’s how they met.
They worked together in the ER for about a year until they finally crossed the threshold into coupledom. They went to breakfast together after a late-night shift, and there with tired eyes and a comfortable friendship, they confessed that there was a connection there.
They’ve moved on to separate jobs but have built a life together. This Colorado couple loves the outdoors and spending time with Shadow and Odin, their two sweet dogs.
They got engaged in a hot air balloon and knew they wanted something grand and memorable for their wedding too. Having visited Hawaii together before, they decided on a Maui Destination Wedding.
And that’s how Jordan & Michael went from the ER to Maui’s sunny shores. We’re so glad we got to help these two essential workers have a fantastic Hawaii wedding!






After their ceremony at the Steeple House, it was time to take portraits with the glowing newlyweds. The venue served as a scenic backdrop for their romantic pictures, but they also wanted something closer to the water.
We were excited to get some clifftop photos as part of Jordan & Michael’s Maui Destination Wedding. Ironwoods Beach is a gorgeous location with dramatic cliffs. The sunset views there are amazing. Not only was this a chance to get wow-worthy portraits, but they also got to spend some quiet time together during a lively wedding day.
As the sun slipped into the warm Pacific waters, Jordan & Michael slowed down, took in their beautiful surroundings, and embraced their brand new title as husband and wife.
This was such a fun, gorgeous wedding, and Jordan & Michael are so amazing. Keep scrolling to see more of their portraits!














Congratulations, Jordan & Michael! We are wishing you a lifetime of happiness and hope to see you in Hawaii again soon!

Kapalua’s bright, calm glow greeted us when we arrived for Rebecca & Anthony’s Hawaii beach wedding. We love relaxed morning ceremonies with incredible photos, and these two had all that and more.
They were a bit nervous when we met them at Ironwoods Beach. But in a good way. Free of the pressures that may have accompanied a big hometown event, they could take in each moment, each wave of nerves and overwhelming joy.
We’re so excited to share some of the photos from their Maui Hawaii Beach Wedding — we had such a good time with this dazzling duo, and now we can relive their day through these photos!




Rebecca & Anthony’s Hawaii Beach Wedding was a well-earned celebration. These two work hard back home and have been through a lot together, so a joyful getaway was perfect for them.
Years ago, Rebecca moved from Michigan to Arizona to be closer to her grandpa and simply get a change of scenery. Her grandpa was part owner of a towing company there. His business partner? Handsome, hardworking Anthony.
Rebecca’s grandfather passed away, but you could feel he was there in spirit during their Hawaii Beach Wedding. Anthony looked to him as a father figure long before he even knew Rebecca, and he was of course a treasure for Rebecca.
Rebecca & Anthony brought all kinds of treasures with them to Maui’s shores: memories of her grandfather, the support of everyone who couldn’t be there in person, their shared experiences that led them to this moment.
This allowed them to share their vows honestly and truthfully. But also with laughter and hope. After all, that’s what’s got them this far, and that’s what will carry them for a lifetime.











So what’s next for Rebecca & Anthony? The first thing on their agenda after their Hawaii Beach Wedding: Breakfast. Then it was time to kick back and enjoy a classic Maui honeymoon. This was their first time getting to fully explore the island, so they were ready to make the most of their time here.
They could have stayed in Hawaii, but they were missing their little furbabies. Yes, Rebecca even turned Anthony into a dog person (or was it her Husky Mya that ultimately won him over?).
We took a few final portraits with the newlyweds before sending them on their way. But we know they’ll always be drawn to Maui, and we can’t wait to welcome them here again!












Congratulations, Rebecca & Anthony! You are such a beautiful couple and we’re so grateful you chose us as your Hawaii Wedding planner!

With travel becoming safer and their love growing stronger, Vanessa & Bryan packed their bags and had a beach wedding in Maui. It was a joyful celebration on the blue-hued shores of Ironwoods, and this darling couple was so sweet to work with.
It’s been a week since we spent this lovely evening with Vanessa, Bryan, and their wonderful family. Now it’s time to share some of their Maui wedding photography!






Vanessa & Bryan love traveling together. They live in Seattle and knew they wanted something adventurous for their wedding. It didn’t take long for them to set their sights on Maui.
Bryan’s family has been traveling to Hawaii for decades, so it’s a special place for him. Of course, he wanted to share his love for the islands with his wife and new family. And what better way to enjoy a beautiful place than by marrying there?
This beach wedding in Maui was the result of a romance that started almost a decade ago. Vanessa & Bryan were coworkers and built a foundation of friendship and partnership. In 2014, they decided to start dating.
After Covid derailed two of Bryan’s proposal plans, he finally popped the question at a family BBQ. It was laid back, family-focused, and totally romantic. Just like their beach wedding in Maui!













We loved every moment of this Maui Destination wedding. Vanessa made a grand entrance with her parents, and Reverend Kimo led them in such a sweet ceremony. Their family was in great spirits as we took group pictures on the beach, and then it was time for the newlyweds to get some romantic shots around the shoreline.
Vanessa & Bryan walked along Ironwoods Beach and then went up on the rocky cliffs — the sunset views up there are amazing! This is one of the best things about having a beach wedding in Maui: the chance to capture portraits in these incredible surroundings.
Soon the sun had dipped below the ocean and it was time to say a hui hou to Vanessa & Bryan.
What’s next for this beautiful couple? They still had their honeymoon ahead of them, and then the excitement of returning home as newlyweds. They hope to adopt a puppy soon, and of course they’ll continue to support each other in their careers and aspirations.










Congratulations, Vanessa & Bryan! We loved getting to know you and sharing this beautiful day with you! See you in Hawaii again soon!

We are so excited to share Melissa & Justin’s wedding at The Steeple House Maui! Their elegant celebration featured sweeping ocean views, golden glowing sunsets, and blissful romance. We love working with beautiful couples in scenic locations, so this was an absolute dream for us.
Karma Hill Photography captured their Hawaii wedding, from Melissa’s sweet moments getting ready until the day’s final touch of sunlight. Check out some of our favorite photos below!







When you marry at The Steeple House Maui, decorations are completely optional. Melissa & Justin chose an understated style for their wedding, which highlighted the venue’s natural beauty and the couple’s elegant aura.
The tree on the ceremony lawn features dramatic branches that create a natural altar around Melissa & Justin. With the lush greenery of Kapalua as their backdrop, the two shared heartfelt vows and officially began their life together.
We loved how Kimo brought warmth, humor, and Hawaiian traditions to their ceremony. The small group of guests represented all of Melissa & Justin’s friends and family who were celebrating them back at home.
And now they have their gorgeous photos to share with everyone who was here in spirit! Keep scrolling to see even more stunning shots from this wedding at the Steeple House Maui!










Once Melissa & Justin became husband & wife, it was time to capture newlywed portraits at the beach! One of our favorite things about The Steeple House Maui is that it’s just up the road from gorgeous Ironwoods Beach. So the couple got to enjoy a comfortable ceremony at a dedicated venue and then get stunning sunset portraits with their toes in the sand.
Is that the glow of newlywed bliss, or the golden hue of a Hawaii sunset? We think it’s both!
We love how Melissa & Justin’s chic attire looks on Ironwoods’s shores. Something about being dressed up at a gorgeous location really gets us. Plus, these love birds embody the perfect balance between sophistication and playfulness, so they were made for a Hawaii wedding.
We loved walking along the beach with Melissa & Justin, and they got adventurous as they explored the beach’s rocky edge. But soon the sun dipped below the horizon, and it was time to say “Aloha” to the lovely pair. They went on to celebrate their marriage with their guests, and we were left with the warmest memories of a glowing wedding at The Steeple House Maui.















Congratulations, Melissa & Justin! We loved being your Maui wedding coordinator and can’t wait to see you on the islands again!
