Emily and Sina’s beautiful Maui beach wedding was like a drop of sunshine, bright, warm, and kept making us smile. With a gorgeous tropical backdrop and a handful of loved ones watching on, this beautiful ceremony had everything island dreams are made of. 

The Maui Beach Wedding

We planned to have Emily and Sina’s Maui beach wedding on the shore of Southside, but with the threat of rain, we ended up moving the ceremony to Maluaka Beach. And it turned out to be a perfect choice! We can’t always shift the location, but we were able to get to the edge of the cloud line, which resulted in a slightly overcast ceremony and a sunset that was poppin’! Keep scrolling for all the sweet wedding day moments!

Our Couple’s Story

Our bride had the sweetest story, that we just had to share on our blog! From our bride: 

“We met the age-old way – the internet! We actually matched on Coffee meets bagel. We talked for a few days and then met for our first date at a local bar/restaurant called Sovereign. 

“Proposal: we had an unseasonably warm day in Northern Virginia. We decided to go into DC to Georgetown and walk around. We went to take pictures in front of the place of our first date. That is when Sina gave the most heartwarming speech and dropped to his knee. I didn’t even say yes – I just said of course!” How cute is that?! The rest of their story is right here on our blog! 

Congratulations, Emily and Sina! We wish you all the joy and happiness in the decades to come!

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!!

After realizing it would be difficult to gather all their friends and family under COVID restrictions, Joanna and Eric decided to have a small and breezy Maui beach wedding. They wanted their special day to be simple, dreamy, serene, and intimate. Consider their wishlist granted! This wedding was everything and more. 

The Maui Beach Wedding

Set on the sweeping sands of Southside Beach, Joanna and Eric tied the knot in one of the most beautiful places on earth. Together since college, the love and friendship shared between these two is undeniable. When they first met, their friends referred to Joanna and Eric as “soul friends,” and now they’re also “soul mates.” 

We love the retro yet classic look of our couple. Wearing a bodice-hugging gown with gorgeous lace accents and warm and fresh makeup, Joanna is absolutely beautiful. Eric sported the perfect wedding attire without the jacket for a toned-down, beach-friendly look. But the best thing they wore were their adoring expressions, just look at these two! 

After the ceremony, our Karma Hill Photography met up again with Joanna and Eric for some dreamy trash the dress moments! Enjoy their adorable story as you scroll through the stunning images!

Our Couple’s Story

Joanna and Eric met at a week-long summer camp with TRS. They hit it off immediately as if they’d known each other for years! Our Bride shared a wonderful story about their engagement, and we’d like to share it with you.

From our bride: “This past February, Eric planned and executed a perfect romantic week before popping the question. On February 13th, Eric surprised me with a stay-at-home date night: sushi making and sake tasting! He bought all the ingredients and supplies needed, and we made our own sushi and tasted yummy sake. The next day, Valentine’s Day, Eric surprised me with horseback riding on Folsom Lake!” 

“Afterwards, we went wine tasting outdoors. The following day, Eric surprised me yet again and took me zip lining at a local outdoor adventure park. That night, Eric told me to pack a suitcase because we would be leaving for a trip the next morning! On February 16th, we drove to San Luis Obispo County, on California’s central coast, to begin our getaway.”

”Eric dropped me off for a mani-pedi, and then we got ready for dinner. Eric told me we would have dinner delivered on the beach. When we got to Shell Beach, Eric said we had to wait a few minutes for the food to arrive. We started taking pictures. At one point, Eric told me to turn around so that he could get a picture of me staring off into the sunset. When I turned around, Eric was on one knee holding out a ring and telling me all the things he loves about me. I don’t remember a single thing Eric said, but I definitely said YES!”

Mahalo nui loa, Joanna and Eric! We wish you a bright and joyous future!

MAUI TRASH THE DRESS – SESSION DETAILS

Time of Day: Late Afternoon

Maui Photographer: Tenessa

Maui Beach Location: Maluaka

Maluaka Beach was sunny and magical for Katie and Jordan’s Hawaii Beach Elopement. Golden sunshine and radiant aqua blues painted the scene for this beautiful couple. When deciding how to get married, Katie and Jordan just knew an elopement was the way to go. So when a trip to Maui was booked with a small group of family and friends, they thought: what better time? 

The Hawaii Beach Elopement 

Katie and Jordan arrived at the beach separately so they wouldn’t see each other before they arrived. Standing side by side with Kahu Euta, Jordan looked over the luminous seascape before turning to take in his even more luminous bride. Wearing a classic princess-cut gown with lace accents, Katie was beyond beautiful and beaming with endless love.

We’re all about how this hands-on bride altered her own gown to be more beach-friendly, snipping off the long train and using some of the material to decorate her bouquet. It was the perfect beachy alteration! Although they eloped, Katie was sure to celebrate her loved ones, carrying a pin her aunt made with their names in it. 

When it came time to share their vows, Katie read from her phone, speaking heartfelt words she’d penned with love and thought. Jordan decided not to write his vows, and instead spoke from his soul, right there on the spot. Once Kahu Euta declared Katie and Jordan husband and wife, beachgoers snorkeling in the ocean popped their heads out to cheer them on. It was the cutest moment and so classically “Maui’d in Paradise”! 

Our Couples Story

Katie and Jordan met in college, and after four years of growing closer, Jordan knew he wanted to grow forever with Katie. During a very special outing, he took her to her family’s Italian restaurant in San Diego, Isola. Surrounded by warmth and happy memories, he asked Katie to marry him, and the rest is history! Keep scrolling for more of this amazing Hawaii Beach Elopement and more of our beautiful couple! 

Mahalo nui loa, Katie and Jordan! Thank you for trusting us with your Hawaii Beach Elopement. We wish you all the joy and adventures in the years ahead!

Alexis and Mycah’s Maui Beach Elopement took place on the golden sand of Maluaka Beach with sailboats dotting the glistening ocean. With only the sounds of the waves cheering them on, Alexis and Mycah said “I do” and tied their lives together during a beautiful ceremony.

The Maui Beach Elopement

Mycah waited on the shore for Alexis, and when they turned and took in the sight of their bride, Mycah’s face lit up like the Maui sun. It’s easy to see why! Wearing a simple yet elegant form-fitting gown with boho-inspired prints, Alexis took our breath away. Reverend Richardo officiated the ceremony, and after the touching vows, Alexis and Mycah cut the cake and celebrated their union with a shared bite.

Our Couple’s Story

Alexis is a graduate student working on her master’s degree in counseling, and Mycah is in graduate school working on their Master’s in Strategic Marketing Communications! WoW!! Together they have two furbabies, Bailey and Luna, and look forward to starting a family sometime in the future. 

Alexis and Mycah met through a mutual friend who had a sixth sense that they’d make the perfect couple. And the friend was right! Alexis and Mycah hit it off immediately. Their compatibility was off-the-charts and their relationship only blossomed from there. One day Mycah woke up and knew that day was the day. While they were spending time at their favorite beach, Mycah popped the big question. And now their story comes full circle with a wedding at the beach! Keep scrolling for more of this sweet couple! 

And yes, there just so happened to be a cute little sandcastle and a boat sailing on the horizon photobombing their couple’s portraits. It doesn’t get sweeter than this!

Congratulations, Alexis and Mycah! You’re a beautiful couple and so was your wedding day. We wish you all the love and happiness in the decades ahead!

Khaye and Rupert’s Hawaii Beach Wedding took place on the shores of Maluaka with a handful of loved ones watching on. The day was lightly overcast with calm tradewinds and a gentle ocean backdrop. With love all around, Khaye and Rupert took the steps to become husband and wife. 

The Hawaii Beach Wedding

Khaye stepped onto the shore with a bouquet of Hawaiian blooms and a genuine look of love and affection. Wearing a form-fitting gown with floral applique and side accent cut-outs, Khaye is absolutely radiant. We love how the carefully plaited low bun highlights her neckline and frames her face.

When he laid eyes on her, Rupert broke into the sweetest smile. It was clear that these two were turning their dreams into reality.

Looking like a man living the dream, Rupert brings his own splash of style to the shore. We are so here for that scroll-patterned tie! But the most show-stopping elements at their Hawaii Beach Wedding were the sweet expressions flooded with love and gratitude.   

Our Couple’s Story

Khaye and Rupert met in the Philippines through a mutual friend. When they realized they had permanently moved to the US, they continued to keep in contact. After a friend-based trip to Oahu and five amazing days on the island, Rupert knew Khaye was special and he began contacting her more frequently. Soon, it was nothing but love! 

After dating for six years, they planned a vacation to Cancun for Khaye’s birthday. But Rupert had more than just cake in mind. When the moment was right, he asked Khaye to make him the luckiest person on the planet! The rest of their story is right here in the blog! 

Congratulations, Khaye and Rupert! It was a pleasure working with you, and we wish you all the very best in the years ahead!
