Fate had a hand in the meeting of these two! Delila and Micah’s Maui elopement was a private and special affair. We couldn’t help but feel the spark and chemistry between our couple! Even our photographer gets just as excited as our couples do on the day! How could you not?! They radiated happiness and warmth throughout their entire private ceremony. Seeing their faces light up the first moment they saw each other was a joy to capture – absolutely priceless!

Keep reading to see peeks of their big day…

How They Met

Believe it or not, Micah was actually training Delila for a position at their local high school. Since it was a professional relationship to start, Delila was taken aback that Micah actually had the nerve to ask her out! She was literally swept off her feet as he proposed to her while skydiving from a plane from 14,400 ft! As fate would have it, these two went from the high school halls to eloping in Maui. They have a sweet blended family of 8 boys and 3 daughters who are overjoyed for their parents!

A Maui Beach Elopement

They were actually quite nervous on the day! Although, we think that those nerves wore off in the Maui sunshine and salty breeze! The embroidery on Delila’s dress and the pop of pink of Micah’s suit were so unique! It’s so refreshing when our couples have a little bit of flair and fun on their wedding day! Effortless style paired with carefree elegance is the perfect choice for a Maui elopement on the beach. It was no wonder why they chose Maui to elope because Delila loves the Hawaiian culture, natural beauty, and the ocean!

Delila and Micah chose Maluaka Beach on the south side for their Maui elopement. We prize this location because of its long stretches of white sandy beaches and its amazing sunsets! The couple loved the peace and tropical backdrop of the lava rocks and palm trees. They are simply glowing! They were so comfortable in front of the camera with each other at their side. Their simple and relaxed Maui elopement was exactly what they envisioned!

Mahalo Delila and Micah for choosing Simple Maui Wedding for your beach elopement – we couldn’t be happier for you both! We wish you the very best in your next chapter together!

Stephanie & Michael had a beautiful Maluaka Beach wedding last week! This swoon-worthy couple traveled from Utah to elope on this scenic shoreline, and we’re so glad they did.

Stephanie donned a show-stopping gown, and you have got to see Michael’s reaction when he first sees her in it! Thankfully, Karma Hill Photography was there to capture each priceless moment, and today we’re sharing some of our favorite images.

Check out Stephanie & Michael’s wedding photo sneak peek below!

Our Fabulous Fate

Reverend Richardo officiated Stephanie & Michael’s Hawaiian-style ceremony. He brought humor and emotion to the service, which was a perfect fit for them. They’re a lively and passionate couple, drawn to each other more and more as the years go by.

They met through work. It wasn’t a joyful or romantic place, but their relationship is. So good things can come from drab places.

Their Maluaka Beach Wedding was anything but drab. They brought so much personality and style and were all smiles as they became husband and wife.

Their personal vows had us all laughing and crying, and their wave of excitement washed over all of us when Richardo finally pronounced them married!

They included traditions from the Hawaiian Islands, like a lei exchange and oli aloha.

A Maluaka Beach Wedding for a Maui-Loving Couple

Maui is a special place for Stephanie & Michael. Their wedding trip was their seventh Maui vacation, so it really is a second home for them.

They got engaged nearby at Makena State park and knew they wanted an elopement that was true to them and their adventurous spirits. So they returned to our island for a beautiful, unique, and carefree Hawaii wedding at South Maluaka Beach.

We loved spending this dreamy evening with Stephanie & Michael. And now that they’ve returned home to their fur babies Buddha & Piper, they still have lots to look forward to: settling into their married life, reliving their wedding through their photos, and sharing their exciting elopement story with all their friends and family.

Maui is home to many beautiful wedding venues for a Destination Wedding, and a simple Maluaka Beach Wedding was a stunning choice for Stephanie & Michael. This Wailea beach park has golden white sand and great sunset views!

Maluaka Beach has a grassy area with picnic tables, lava rock and dramatic trees. We love getting portraits in this spot in addition to the ones we get on the sandy beach.

Mahalo, Stephanie & Michael, for choosing us as your elopement coordinator! We loved being a part of your wedding in Maui and can’t wait to see you on the island again!

Jessica & Zachary had such a bright, joyful Destination Wedding in Maui. On a sunny Wailea morning, they met on the beach to exchange vows, take beautiful photos, and celebrate their marriage.

They’re such an adorable couple, and their guests were all so kind and caring. Now it’s time to share some of our favorite moments from their Maui wedding day!

Meant to Be by the Sea

Jessica & Zachary met by the water, so it was only fitting they married by the water too. Their love story started at a lake party. They shared mutual friends and found they also shared a romantic connection with each other.

Zachary proposed on a dock while their family watched on from a nearby hillside. It was romantic, sweet, and well-planned, just like their Destination Wedding in Maui!

When it was time to start planning their wedding, Jessica told her new fiance that she had always dreamed of a Maui wedding. She has visited the island eight times and wanted to marry somewhere meaningful for her. Zachary was completely on board. He had been here once and loved the idea of visiting again, this time to celebrate his love with friends and family.

And so that’s how they ended up here, on sunny shores for a Maui Destination Wedding. Check out more of their wedding photos below!

A Morning Ceremony for a Destination Wedding in Maui

We offer Maui wedding coordination in the morning or at sunset. Both are beautiful in their own way, and we’re always happy to help couples decide which is best for them.

Jessica & Zachary chose a morning ceremony, which we think was perfect! They were having a blast on their vacation and wanted to maximize their time with family and friends. By beginning their day with a wedding ceremony, they could spend the rest of the morning and afternoon relaxing and celebrating.

Plus, the photos from their Destination Wedding in Maui are spectacular! The bright AM sun brought out the rich colors of the sky, water, and landscaping, which added so much depth to their portraits.

Maluaka Beach was the perfect Maui wedding location too! Both Jessica & Zachary stayed in Wailea during their past Maui vacations, so they were familiar with the area. We were able to get stunning photos with their toes in the sand and take advantage of the neighboring park, where even more backdrops awaited them.

We had so much fun at this Destination Wedding in Maui and are so thankful we got to work with Jessica & Zachary! Their favorite place will mean even more to them now that they’ve had a gorgeous wedding here.

Congratulations, Jessica & Zachary! Mahalo for choosing our Maui beach wedding package and allowing us to be your Maui Wedding coordinator!

On the sunny shores of Maluaka Beach, Allison & Brian promised a lifetime of love. Their Maui Wedding was such a dream: sparkling blue water, soft golden sand, and a stunning couple.

It’s been a week since we shared this afternoon with them, and now it’s time to share some of their wedding photos. Check out some of our favorite moments below!

Worth Fighting For

Allison & Brian’s love story begins years ago, when they met through friends. Together, they’ve built a life anyone would be proud of. Their cute daughter Ella is the light of their lives. They stay busy with their careers but prioritize family time.

And so, with this foundation, they decided it was time to take the next big step. Brian proposed spontaneously in Vegas. They were there for a UFC fight, but he chose a romantic Bellagio setting for the proposal.

When wedding planning began, Allison knew she wanted somewhere scenic and fun.

“I wanted something where I could wake up somewhere breathtaking on an important day in my life,” Allison told us. And Brian was all for it too!

So that’s how these two ended up in Hawaii for the very first time, having a Maui wedding with their nearest and dearest.

A Joyful Dance at a Maui Wedding

Rev. Richardo led Allison & Brian through an emotional and vibrant ceremony. After he pronounced them husband & wife, it was time for them to share a first dance on the beach.

CJ Helekahi provided beautiful mele for the couple and their guests, and they chose “Better Together” by Jack Johnson as their first dance song.

But the dancing didn’t end once the newlyweds moved on. CJ was joined by talented Meleana from Manutea Nui E, who graced everyone with the beautiful gift of hula while they enjoyed their time on the beach for the Maui wedding.

We couldn’t send the guests away without some group portraits, so we spent time getting photos with friends and family before spending some alone time with Allison & Brian.

Maluaka Beach Magic

Maluaka Beach was a dreamy setting for these love birds. They were able to wed steps away from the ocean and then take portraits along the shoreline. They cooled off in the shade of a tropical tree, walked along the water’s edge, and stole kisses at every turn.

Though the scenery at a Maui wedding is unbeatable, it’s the couple that really brings the magic. Allison & Brian were so full of love and life — it radiates through each image and each sweet word they spoke to each other.

Keep scrolling to see even more of their beautiful Maui wedding photography!

Congratulations, Allison & Brian! We are so grateful we got to be a part of your beautiful Hawaii wedding, and we can’t wait to see you back on the islands soon!

Ted & Jeremy had such a nice, relaxed wedding in Maui. We met them just before sunset at beautiful Maluaka Beach, where they held hands, shared vows, and became husband and husband. They were so kind to work with, and we’re grateful we could coordinate this special day for them.

Check out some of their Maui Wedding photos below and join us in congratulating the newlyweds!

From Chicago to Hawaii

Ted & Jeremy are Chicago residents who love visiting Maui. They enjoy the slower pace, the great weather, and the chance to escape their busy Chicago lives.

Recently, they’ve especially enjoyed talking with Maui locals and residents, learning about the island’s history, and appreciating Hawaiian culture. So their Hawaii-inspired ceremony with Reverend Richardo was a great chance to affirm their love of island traditions.

The two handsome grooms exchanged lei with each other and then presented flower lei to each of their guests. They had a small group of family and friends with them — they were all excited to be a part of a wedding in Maui!

Marrying in Style – a Wedding in Maui

Ted & Jeremy incorporated beachy florals into their ceremony as well. Dellables created two arrangements made of spiraling driftwood, small globes, and romantic flowers. Their female guests wore sandy neutral tones, which went perfectly with their ivory and blush arrangements.

After their ceremony, Karma Hill Photography captured some super dreamy couples portraits around the beach. We scheduled their wedding and portraits with golden hour, so they got glowy shots as the sun set over the ocean.

Throughout their wedding in Maui, Ted & Jeremy were romantic and playful, always ready to joke around and share a kiss — just the kind of couple we love working with!

The Celebration Continues

After their ceremony and portraits, Ted & Jeremy were off to the Four Seasons, where they had dinner reservations with their guests. The restaurants at the resort are a great place to celebrate any special occasion, but especially a wedding!

But their celebrations aren’t limited to their wedding in Maui! Soon these two will have a full reception back in Chicago, so they still have a lot to look forward to.

And while we were bummed to see our time with them at the beach come to a close, we know they’ll be returning to Maui soon to soak up the sun, bask in their romantic bliss, and learn even more about our island home!

Congratulations, Ted & Jeremy! Thank you so much for choosing us as your Hawaii wedding coordinator! Sending you lots of aloha!

Lizzie and Pete decided to tie the knot in a simply beautiful way! Their Maui elopement was intimate, tranquil, and romantic. Maluaka Beach set the scene for this event! Then the afternoon weather enhanced the dreamy mood. Most importantly, Clarissa from Karma Hill Photography captured every meaningful moment! We can’t wait to see which photos Lizzie and Pete love best! Keep scrolling to experience this splendid ceremony for yourself.

Maluaka Beach was the location for our charming couple’s ceremony! This destination is ideal for weddings because it has a long sandy shoreline and stunning sunsets! For Lizzie and Pete’s elopement, we set up for their event on the south end of the seaside. Surrounding them was epic lava rocks, lush greenery, and foamy azure waves! Then the sun shined vibrantly behind the heavy clouds — making the sky look enchanting.

The Peaceful Maui Elopement

After Kahu Ricardo Hanako’o pronounced Lizzie and Pete as husband and wife, it was time for their cake cutting! During this tradition, our delightful duo was full of bliss and in their own worlds. There was no doubt they enjoyed their first experience as a married pair! Not to mention, we adored seeing them share affectionate looks and smile joyfully throughout this occasion.

Although radiant newlyweds had no guests at their elopement, they ensured their loved ones could join in on the celebration! Stephan Boeker Films was the videographer and documented every moment of this sunset affair.

Lizzie is an exquisite bride! Her Essence of Australia gown is airy and ethereal — it complements her classic hair and makeup flawlessly. Our beautiful bride’s Rustic Hawaiian Bouquet pairs perfectly with her styling! Then Pete looks sophisticated in his attire. His Custom Altan Lane suit is sharp and dapper. We like how his vibrant boutonniere adds a splash of color to his outfit! Above all, Lizzie and Pete dressed impeccably for their Maui elopement.

Congratulations, Lizzie and Pete! Thank you for trusting us with your special day. We wish you a future full of success, love, and happiness!
