Maui Elegance Bouquet

Some love stories are written softly, in golden light and quiet moments. Mary and John’s Maui elopement at Po‘olenalena Beach was one of those stories, simple, heartfelt, and radiantly beautiful from start to finish.

After six years together and one year engaged, this Ohio couple decided to trade big plans for something more intimate: a sunset ceremony by the sea. For Mary, a nurse, and John, who works in IT from home, life is often busy and full. But on this day, everything slowed down. It was just them, the ocean breeze, and the sound of waves marking the rhythm of their vows.

Their Maui elopement captured the essence of what makes these moments so special: no stress, no crowd, just two people promising forever in a place that feels suspended in time. The light was soft and golden, wrapping around them as they exchanged rings and quiet laughter. Every photo glowed with warmth, the kind of warmth that feels like love made visible…

A Dream Come True

Neither had been to Hawaii before, and it couldn’t have been a more perfect beginning to their marriage, a honeymoon and wedding rolled into one. Po‘olenalena, with its peaceful shoreline and dreamy sunset views, offered the perfect balance of beauty and serenity.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, they exchanged their personal vows to the sound of the waves. It couldn’t have been more dreamy or perfect for this sweet couple!

Soft & Dreamy Portraits

After their beautiful Maui elopement ceremony, we wandered down the shoreline for newlywed portraits, and it was pure magic! The sun had dipped low, turning the sky into a wash of gold and violet, while the waves shimmered like glass around their feet. Mary and John looked completely at peace, their smiles soft and full of that just-married glow. They laughed between kisses, barefoot in the sand, soaking up every bit of that golden Maui light. Each photo felt warm and timeless, the kind that instantly brings you back to the feeling of the moment.

Congratulations, Mary and John! Your Maui elopement was everything it should be: simple, genuine, and full of golden light. Here’s to your next adventure together, wherever the sun leads you!

Rebecca and Matthew’s Maui venue wedding at Gather was the kind of day that felt effortlessly timeless, filled with joy, soft ocean breezes, and golden light that seemed to bless every moment. From start to finish, their day flowed beautifully, each part blending seamlessly into the next.

The day began with excitement and laughter as Rebecca got ready, her stunning gown a perfect match for the island’s elegant simplicity. Soon after, she walked down the lush green lawn arm in arm with her father, sunlight filtering through the palm trees, toward Matthew waiting under a delicate white arch framed by tropical greenery. It was a breathtaking moment. full of love, anticipation, and the quiet kind of joy that only happens once.

Meaningful Moments

Their ceremony at the Maui venue overlooked the sparkling South Shore, where they exchanged vows surrounded by loved ones. Their day centered on presence, emotion, and the promises they made to each other, not extravagance. Every part of their celebration centered around their vows, and that made it all the more powerful.

Rebecca and Matthew’s Maui venue wedding shows that true beauty shines in simplicity, in honest moments, heartfelt vows, and the stillness of being fully present with the one you love.

There’s something extraordinary about getting married in Hawaii, a feeling that can’t quite be put into words but can be felt in every ocean breeze, every golden sunset, every soft laugh carried over the sound of the waves. For Tia and Antasia, their Maui venue wedding at the Outrigger Ka’anapali Beach Resort was more than just a ceremony; it was the beginning of forever, wrapped in the spirit of aloha.

The Outrigger Ka’anapali Beach Resort offered the perfect blend of intimacy and island grandeur, ocean views that stretched endlessly, palm trees swaying gently above, and a salty sweetness in the air that seemed to bless every moment. Hawaii has this way of slowing everything down, letting love take center stage. It’s why so many couples choose it, not just for its beauty, but for its energy. There’s a deep, natural magic here that makes every “I do” feel sacred. So we were more than excited to be a part of Tia and Anastasia’s beautiful day! Keep reading to see more!

All What Matters

Surrounded by their loved ones, Tia and Antasia exchanged heartfelt vows beneath a stunning driftwood arch adorned with tropical blooms. They both were utterly radiant! You could feel the love in every glance they shared and every burst of laughter from their guests.

What made this day even more special was the presence of their closest family and friends, the people who had supported them, cheered for them, and celebrated them every step of the way. The laughter was genuine, the hugs were long, and the joy was radiant. It was one of those weddings that reminded everyone present what love truly looks like: calm, steady, and full of light.

The Outrigger Ka’anapali Beach Resort offered a setting that matched the heart of their day perfectly, private yet open, serene yet full of life, with the beach just steps away for sunset portraits that glowed like a dream.

Just You & Me

From their first kiss as newlyweds to their romantic portraits along the beach, the day felt effortlessly authentic. They are just two beautiful souls, deeply in love, celebrating in one of the most stunning places on earth.

The golden Maui light wrapped around them like a warm embrace, illuminating every shared glance and soft smile. As they walked hand in hand along the shoreline, the ocean reflected the same calm and radiance they carried, that unmistakable glow of two people completely at peace in love.

As the sun dipped low on the horizon, the light turned a warm, honey-gold, painting the sky in soft shades of blush and amber. Tia and Antasia stood together, bathed in that glowing Maui light, savoring every second of the moment they had dreamed of. They weren’t rushing, posing, or thinking ahead; they were present, soaking in the beauty of their first sunset as newlyweds. It was tender, peaceful, and filled with a quiet kind of joy that only true love brings.

Congratulations to you both! May your lives be forever lit by this same golden warmth and overflowing happiness!

Some love stories take their time, unfolding slowly and beautifully until the moment feels just right. And Rick and Navy’s is exactly that kind of story. They first met back in 2004 while working together in retail, where friendship came first and love followed years later. Seven years ago, they finally took the leap from coworkers to soulmates, and when Rick proposed over dinner in Canada this past March, it set the stage for the most beautiful new chapter, their Maui venue wedding.

Held at the Royal Lahaina Resort, their ceremony was intimate and heartfelt, the kind that makes you believe in love all over again. They stood together on the lawn, surrounded by the island’s lush beauty and ocean views that stretched endlessly behind them. The Hawaiian breeze seemed to pause in reverence as they said their vows, their words filled with gratitude, joy, and quiet certainty….

Postcard Worthy Setting

They looked absolutely stunning, Navy glowing with happiness and Rick beaming with pride. Their three children were there too, making it not just a wedding but a celebration of family, laughter, and togetherness.

The resort’s oceanfront lawn offered the perfect mix of privacy and breathtaking views, creating a serene and romantic setting for their vows. With the Pacific stretching endlessly behind them, and the soft sound of the waves nearby, it felt like their own little corner of paradise. One of the best things about this venue is how effortlessly it combines the best of both world, a secluded, elegant setting with easy beach access for stunning portraits just steps away.

Afterward, they wandered down to the beach and around the property for portraits. The sunset bathed everything in golden light, making their joy shine even brighter. Every photo radiated warmth, connection, and that unmistakable Maui magic. The softness of the sunset glow made their portraits feel so timeless and radiant. That’s the beauty of a Maui venue wedding: you have the privacy and natural beauty of the island all around you. This was a private moment for just the two of them to savor before they went off to celebrate!

Congratulations, Rick and Navy! Your wedding was a true celebration of love, family, and the beauty of keeping things simple and genuine. Mahalo for choosing Simple Maui Wedding!

Some love stories take their time, steady, patient, and all the stronger for it. Michelle and William’s Maui venue wedding at the Royal Lahaina Resort was exactly that kind of day: full of joy, laughter, and a deep sense of finally, we’re here.

They met eight years ago and got engaged on a California beach three years ago. Life moved fast, new jobs, new state, new adventures, and the wedding plans waited patiently in the wings. But when the timing finally felt right, everything fell into place. The best part? Michelle’s sister was getting married the day before, so the entire family was already on the island, ready to keep the celebration going.

Both Michelle and Will work as train conductors, a life that keeps them busy and always in motion. Their son, Billy, is their greatest joy, and together, the three of them fill their days with family time, laughter, and the simple happiness of being together. We were thrilled to bring their special day to life, so keep reading to see more of their unforgettable celebration!

The Perfect Day

Their Maui wedding day was everything they hoped it would be: relaxed, full of love, and surrounded by the people who matter most. The Royal Lahaina Resort set the perfect scene, with tropical vibes, ocean breeze, and an atmosphere that made everyone feel at home. Their ceremony was simple, elegant, and beautiful. It focused on their love, commitment, and their sacred promise to one another. No fluff, no distractions from their love.

After the ceremony, they wandered the Royal Lahaina property for their newlywed portraits, glowing in that warm Maui light. Every tropical corner offered another perfect backdrop. Michelle looked radiant in a lace gown with a flowing veil that caught the breeze just right. Will, in his island-inspired look, was the definition of easy-breezy Hawaiian cool. Together, they looked completely at ease, two people exactly where they were meant to be.

As the evening faded, they made their way down to the beach, where the ocean glowed under the sunset. Those final portraits, barefoot, smiling, completely in love, captured everything the day stood for: family, joy, and the beauty of forever.

Congratulations, Michelle and William! Your Maui venue wedding was pure happiness from start to finish!

Ready for a heartwarming Maui venue wedding? Some love stories begin quietly; others begin with a playful warning, like your uncle telling you not to date one of his soccer players. Christina didn’t exactly follow that advice… and thank goodness she didn’t! Because that player was Giovanny, the man who would become her partner, her best friend, and eventually, her husband.

Their story began in Orange County, where Christina first spotted Giovanny at her cousin’s soccer game. She thought he was cute (because, of course), reached out, and asked him out. Eleven years later, after a haunted ship date on the Queen Mary, endless laughter, a pandemic, and raising their beautiful daughter Rosaly, they said “I do” in paradise!

What We Dreamed Of

Their Maui venue wedding at Gather felt like the perfect reflection of their love, bright, joyful, and grounded in shared history. You could feel their happiness, that deep, peaceful kind that comes from growing together through every season of life.

The beach has always been Christina’s happy place. Standing barefoot beside Giovanny, the man who has made her feel safe and seen for over a decade, fulfilled her dream. The moment felt simple and heartfelt, overflowing with the pure joy of being exactly where they were meant to be.

A Family Affair

Their Maui wedding at Gather was everything they dreamed of! Their ceremony was radiant, relaxed, and full of people who had loved and supported them through every chapter. Family and friends flew across the ocean to be part of their day, and you could feel that love everywhere. There was laughter between vows and the kind of joy that only comes when you’re surrounded by the people who helped shape your journey.

And of course, their flower girl was their five-year-old daughter, Rosaly, the light of their lives. Christina and Giovanny’s connection is built on shared adventures, music, and mutual respect. It’s a blend of her lively spirit and his calm presence. Together, they’ve built a life full of movement, laughter, and family. And their wedding felt like the perfect reflection of that balance.

And next up: beach portraits because this spot is what they both were really waiting for! We couldn’t help but be moved by how natural and easy their connection felt. Their beach portraits were full of laughter, quiet looks, and those unspoken moments that say everything.

Christina and Giovanny remind us that love doesn’t have to be perfect to be beautiful. It just has to be real. And on that golden Maui evening, surrounded by ocean air and family love, theirs couldn’t have been more perfect. Their dream of a Hawaii wedding came true and couldn’t have been more perfect!

Congratulations, Christina and Giovanny!

What an incredible celebration of love, laughter, and family! From your beautiful story that began on a soccer field to your stunning wedding day in Maui, every moment reflected the deep connection you share.

Some moments feel like they were lifted straight from a movie. And Brenton and Ashley’s Maui elopement was exactly that kind of magic. The day began softly, filled with laughter, the gentle hum of excitement, and the joyful clinking of glasses as Ashley and her friends got ready. She looked radiant slipping into her elegant gown, her smile wide and full of anticipation.

What followed was a simple yet profoundly beautiful celebration, one that focused on what truly mattered: their love, their promise, and the quiet joy of beginning forever together. Every detail felt intentional and full of heart.

Curious to see how their day unfolded? Keep scrolling! The beauty of their Maui elopement speaks for itself!

Then came the first look. When Brenton turned around and saw Ashley, time seemed to stop. You could see it on his face, that instant realization that this was the moment everything had led up to. His breath caught, his smile softened, and for a few heartbeats, it was just the two of them, standing in the golden Maui sun, completely in love… This was a private and sacred moment just for the two of them before the big moment. A reminder that it’s just the two of them and always will be…

Effortlessly Elegant

Their ceremony at Ironwoods Beach was simple yet breathtaking, the kind of beauty that doesn’t need anything more than the sea, the sky, and two hearts promising forever. The sound of the waves and the sunlight wrapping around them made it feel sacred and timeless.

Our photography style is all about capturing these real, in-between moments, the laughter, the emotion, the glow that lives in a look. From their tearful vows to their joyful embrace after being pronounced husband and wife, every frame of Brenton and Ashley’s Maui elopement tells a story of love, sincerity, and island magic. Sometimes the simplest ceremonies are the most sacred and meaningful. No fluff, all love. And that’s exactly what their Maui elopement ceremony was all about…

As the sun dipped low, they walked hand in hand along the water, their joy spilling into the soft light of sunset. Every image radiated warmth, two souls perfectly at ease, surrounded by paradise.

They moved together easily, forehead to forehead, laughter spilling between kisses. The soft breeze played with Ashley’s veil, Brenton’s hands found hers instinctively, and every photograph captured the way they fit, naturally, completely, beautifully. Our Maui wedding photography style is all about that, preserving the raw emotion, the genuine connection, and the fleeting, golden moments that make time stand still.

Congratulations, Brenton and Ashley! Your Maui elopement was pure light, love, and island magic. We wish you a lifetime of love and happiness together!

A Maui venue wedding is already the stuff of dreams, but Noah and Isabelle’s celebration at the Rustic Hawaiian Ruins took that magic to a whole new level. Their story began in the most modern of ways, on a dating app, but quickly blossomed into something timeless. From the moment they met, they were inseparable, drawn together by a love for projects, adventures, and simply spending time side by side.

Two and a half years later, Noah orchestrated a proposal as thoughtful as it was romantic. During a beach trip to Whidbey Island, with the Puget Sound sunset spilling across the horizon, he asked Isabelle to join him in forever. She walked toward him, expecting a sea glass discovery, only to find him waiting on one knee with a ring. How sweet is that?! So clever! That moment on the water set the stage for the next chapter: a wedding as intimate as it was meaningful…

Instead of a traditional big wedding, Noah and Isabelle envisioned something smaller, warmer, and more personal. They decided on a “family vacation” wedding in Hawaii so that loved ones, many of whom had never been to the islands, could experience the joy of discovery right alongside them. And so, with the sun shining over Maui and the ocean only steps away, they gathered at the Rustic Hawaiian Ruins.

The ceremony itself was nothing short of sacred. With its stone walls and lush tropical greenery, the venue created an atmosphere that was both historic and romantic. When Noah and Isabelle exchanged vows, surrounded by family and friends, the setting amplified every word, every promise, every tearful smile. It was not just a wedding, but the beginning of a new story witnessed by the people who mattered most.

After their vows, the couple headed down to the beach for their newlywed portraits. The joy on their faces was unmistakable, framed by Maui’s glowing light and the rhythm of the waves. Each photo reflected not just their happiness, but also the choice they made to craft a day that felt authentically theirs.

Congratulations, Noah and Isabelle! Your Maui venue wedding was a celebration of love, family, and the beautiful life you’re building together.

Some weddings feel like the perfect punctuation mark to a long and beautiful story, and Belen and Nicholas’ Maui venue wedding was exactly that. Their love story began in middle school as friends, deepened in high school, and carried them through undergrad, graduate school, and into their adult lives. Something clearly had a hand in just how intertwined their lives would be. After 12 years together, they chose August 17th—their anniversary date—to say “I do” in the place that has always brought them peace and joy: Maui.

Nicholas proposed in London on December 22, 2022, a romantic holiday surprise that marked the start of this next chapter. And when their wedding day arrived at Gather, it was nothing short of lovely…

The day began with a brief but sweet first look, a quiet pause before the celebration. In that moment, all the years they had spent together, every milestone, every adventure, every challenge, seemed to come full circle. Then, surrounded by family and friends, they exchanged vows beneath the Hawaiian sky. The setting was simple, elegant, and perfect: love was the true centerpiece, and the joy on every face said it all…

Surrounded By Love

At Gather, the ceremony felt both intimate and elegant. The lush lawn stretched out under the Hawaiian sun, and the atmosphere was filled with the warmth of family and friends who had traveled to celebrate them. The air buzzed with anticipation as guests watched the two of them meet at the altar.

What made it so moving was how personal it felt. Every look, every smile between Belen and Nicholas reflected their story, middle school friends who had grown up side by side, through undergrad, grad school, and into their careers, now standing together to promise forever. Their vows were tender and heartfelt, filled with gratitude for the journey that had brought them here and excitement for the one that lay ahead.

After the ceremony, the magic continued. They slipped away to Southside beach for newlywed portraits, and Maui delivered everything: golden sunlight, gentle waves, and a backdrop that looked almost too perfect to be real. Let’s be honest, though – Maui always delivers! Their portraits glowed with elegance, capturing both the grandeur of the setting and the intimacy of their love.

It was relaxed, heartfelt, and radiant, everything they had hoped for!

Congratulations, Belen and Nicholas! Your wedding was a true reflection of your journey: elegant, meaningful, and filled with joy. Maui held your love story beautifully, and now these beautiful photos will preserve your special day forever! Sending you both so much love and aloha for the years ahead!

If love were a language, Lori and Elizabeth speak it fluently in the way they look at each other, in the way they laugh, and in the way they chose to promise forever. Their Maui elopement wasn’t just a wedding; it was the moment two families became one, wrapped in the warmth of Hawaiian sunshine and ocean breeze.

From the very start, it was clear this day was going to be something special. Both brides made their entrances with their kids by their sides, a detail that somehow made the air feel even softer, sweeter, and more sacred. It wasn’t just about the two of them; it was about all of them, stepping into this new chapter together.

They looked absolutely stunning and radiant in every sense of the word. Their matching tropical bouquets added a touch of elegance, perfectly complementing the joy in their smiles. Standing side by side, they were the embodiment of everything we love about intimate weddings: authenticity, connection, and beauty that radiates from the inside out.

Hearts Full

Their Maui elopement ceremony was lovely in the way that makes you pause and breathe it all in. The ocean behind them shimmered like a jewel. Their kids looked on with proud, happy faces, and the whole scene felt like the universe had conspired to make this moment perfect.

As their Maui elopement coordinator, we were honored to witness every glance, every laugh, every quiet, meaningful touch. Lori and Elizabeth, you looked incredible, you made it unforgettable, and you filled the day with so much love!

And then, after a delicious bite and some bubbles, came the sunset. At Polo Beach, the sky lit up in shades of gold, pink, and soft lavender, wrapping Lori and Elizabeth in a glow that felt almost otherworldly. We stole a few quiet moments for just the two of them, letting the waves and the fading light be the backdrop for portraits that felt timeless. They laughed, they held hands, and they looked at each other like they knew this is forever.

Congratulations to you both! Your day was unforgettable, your love was inspiring, and your portraits were pure magic! We wish you nothing but the best!

Okay, but imagine this: you’re in Maui, standing on the edge of the world where the ocean kisses the sky, and you’re about to marry the man who once made your palms sweat during a tattoo appointment. Yes. That’s how it started for Kayla and Tyson, and yes, their Maui venue wedding is even more romantic than it sounds.

Kayla wasn’t expecting to fall for the artist behind the ink, especially not someone with dreamy green eyes and a smile that could melt steel. But the universe had other plans. A few months later, Tyson asked her out. One date turned into forever. And five years later, he proposed during a walk in the park, and they welcomed their little girl in the world just days later. And their love story added a brand new chapter: Nyla, their sassy, sunshine-y daughter who’s been ruling the house (and the dogs) ever since. Their day was so special and just what they imagined for their dream day…

Maui Felt Right

They’ve visited Maui many times, once before Nyla, and three times after. It’s their soul place. Scenic, welcoming, full of beauty and spirit. So when it came time to say “I do,” Merriman’s in Maui was the obvious choice. Ocean views, glowing light, and an atmosphere that felt like home.

Their wedding was intimate, elegant, and full of love. Surrounded by close family and friends, they exchanged vows with tears and laughter and flower petals on the breeze. Their portraits? Stunning. Think golden hour light spilling across the beach, veil dancing in the wind, and Tyson looking at Kayla like a real-life romance novel cover. She looked radiant, timeless. He looked smitten. Every photo felt like a moment suspended in time.

Our Hearts As One

Their wedding at Merriman’s was every bit as heartfelt and cinematic as their origin story. Surrounded by loved ones and panoramic ocean views, they exchanged vows beneath swaying palms and the soft Hawaiian sun. It felt intimate, deeply personal, like the island itself was wrapping them in a giant, loving lei.

And then came the photography. Our kind of photography. The kind that doesn’t just pose, it feels. We focused on capturing every in-between moment: Tyson’s proud, awe-struck gaze as Kayla walked down the aisle. Kayla’s radiant smile as she slipped that ring on his finger. The way they said “I do” with all the love in their hearts, written on their faces…

But the real magic happened after the ceremony, when we took them to the beach just below Merriman’s. The golden hour light was straight out of a dream, warm, glowing, wrapped in salt-kissed breeze. Kayla’s veil caught the wind just right, Tyson’s arms wrapped protectively around her, and together they were so present and in the moment. Every photo was a love letter, soft, romantic, a little wild, and completely authentic. It doesn’t get any more dreamier than this, does it?!

These portraits weren’t just pretty; they told a story. A Maui love story written by a tattoo artist and a math teacher… with their daughter, their dogs, and the ocean as witnesses.

It was a day that was purely them, romantic, coastal, heartfelt. And honestly? We’ll be dreaming about it forever. Congratulations, you two! It was an honor to create your dream wedding in a place that means the world to you.

There’s something wildly romantic about saying “I do” with the wind in your hair, waves crashing nearby, and your bare feet sinking into warm Hawaiian sand. And Allison and Scott? They absolutely nailed it.

Their Maui elopement at Ironwoods Beach was more than just a ceremony; it was a moment suspended in time, carved out of crashing waves, rugged lava rocks, and golden afternoon light. With only their closest loved ones present (plus the most joyful officiant on Earth), it felt private, meaningful, and profoundly intimate. Just the way it should be.

Let’s talk about Allison’s dress. Floaty, dreamy, and the perfect shade of ocean mist blue, yes, she looked like she stepped out of a beachside romance novel. And Scott? He met her elegance with classic charm, looking dapper and completely smitten. Their laughter, their vows, their forehead touches (we melted) every photo we captured speaks volumes about their bond. No caption needed.

What Counts

This is why people elope to Maui: it strips away the fluff and leaves behind only what truly matters. Love. Connection. Breath-stealing beauty. No stress, no guest list drama, just a vow exchange that feels as wild and free as the ocean itself.

Their ceremony was full of emotion, but also full of joy. You can see it in the way their family beamed, the way the waves applauded every kiss, and how the sun peeked through just in time to light up their big moment.

We led Allison and Scott up onto Ironwoods’ lava rock cliffs just as the sun began to dip low. The sky exploded in soft pastels, casting the most cinematic glow across the ocean. There they were, silhouetted against the horizon, wrapped in each other’s arms, standing tall on ancient volcanic stone like the leads of an epic love story. It was iconic. It was breathtaking. And it was so them.

To Allison and Scott: may your days be as sweet as this one, and your love as enduring as the lava rock you stood on. Mahalo for letting us witness your beautiful beginning and your once-in-a-lifetime sunset moment!
