How They Eloped in Maui

We adore Marica and Ken’s beach elopement because it’s intimate and tranquil. Their ceremony focused on their connection and love for one another!

Above all, our favorite moment is when Marica and Ken had their first kiss as a married couple! You could tell our charming pair was full of bliss. Then Vanessa from Karma Hill Photography captured a variety of beautiful portraits! Every shot is lighthearted, romantic, and a remarkable way to remember the day they eloped in Maui!

Paula & Mike were absolutely radiant at their Maui Beach Elopement. They had the perfect combination of excitement, humor, and love. So they were a dream to work with!

Though they came to the beach alone to share their vows and pledge their love, they were supported around the globe by friends and family who appreciate them both as individuals and as a couple. We could really feel all that energy surrounding them as they wed on Maui’s welcoming shores.

Now we get to share some of their photos — Check out this beautiful Maui Elopement!

Oli & Mele – About This Maui Beach Elopement

Reverend Kuya officiated Paula & Mike’s ceremony. He included traditional Hawaiian elements, like the blowing of the Pu (conch shell), a blessing over them (an oli), and the exchange of lei. He brought both humor and heartfelt sentiment to the wedding, and it honestly seemed like he had known Paula & Mike for years.

Paula surprised Mike by having an ukulele musician at the ceremony — he loved it. Chayce played the sweet mele (songs) and stuck around to chat with Mike, who plays ukulele in a band with his friends back home in Oregon.

After the ceremony, Paula & Mike took some portraits with Samantha from Karma Hill Photography. Keep scrolling to see the beautiful couple and the glowing sunset!

Better Together – About This Couple

Paula & Mike are semi-retired and are proud parents and grandparents. Fate brought them together when they both decided to go out on a limb and make a Match.com profile. Love blossomed and ushered them into a happily ever after!

They enjoy cooking, entertaining, and wine tasting. They visit Hawaii quite often, but they usually are on Oahu. So Maui was a special vacation for these sweethearts, and they were enjoying every moment. The Maui Beach Elopement was just one part of their romantic getaway.

Paula & Mike have been together for eight years, so they shared many memories. We think the best is still ahead of them, though. As they stood together as newlyweds, looking off to the horizon, they saw a great future full of ever-growing love and joy. We’re so glad we got to be a part of this core memory!

Congratulations, Paula & Mike! We wish you all the best and can’t wait to see you in Maui again soon!

We could go on and on about this Maui Vow Renewal! The sweet couple, their simple yet chic attire, their supportive guests, and the stunning scenery are only a few of the many things we love!

The pastel hues in the sunset sky felt like a blessing upon Tania & Steven, who traveled from California to reaffirm their vows on Maui’s serene shoreline. It would have been a beautiful ceremony anywhere, but Maluaka Beach seemed like an extra magical spot.

Hawaiian Traditions

Kahu Euta Lightsy officiated this Maui Vow Renewal. His ceremony includes many Hawaiian traditions, including blowing the conch shell and a lei exchange. He also offered a Hawaiian blessing and shared ancient wisdom with the couple.

Vow Renewals are always extra special for us. We love how Tania & Steven are comfortable and safe with each other, but also bring newness and discovery into their relationship. They are always up for an adventure and eager to share kind words. Their love is a gift for each other and their precious children.

Maluaka Beach – A Fantastic Maui Vow Renewal Location

Maluaka Beach served as the location for Tania & Steven’s Vow Renewal. We love this spot! It has dramatic black lava rock, lush greenery, and beautiful blue water. You can usually catch views of Kaho‘olawe and the West Maui Mountains in the distance, and the sunsets here are amazing.

There was a pretty glow throughout Tania & Steven’s Maui Vow Renewal. And then the sky became vibrant as we took their final photos. The sun sets quickly in Maui, and the colors change quickly. Luckily this adventurous pair was ready to get these incredible shots in. Check them out below!

Congratulations, Tania & Steven, and here’s to many many more! We can’t wait to see you on Maui again soon!
