As the sun dipped low over into the ocean, Mercedes & Alex found their spot on the sand to enjoy an understated and elegant Maui Beach Wedding. There was beauty in the simplicity. These two are gorgeous inside and out, and the fuss-free ceremony allowed their magnetism and passion to truly shine.

But don’t take our word for it — Check out some of the gorgeous photos that Karma Hill Photography captured for them and see for yourself!

“Wish You Were Here”

Mercedes & Alex kept the guest count small for their Maui Beach wedding. It was their children and granddaughter who attended in person. But they were also supported by friends and family from all over.

They wanted to include all their loved ones in their special day, so they booked our “Wish You Were Here” elopement option, which recorded their ceremony for same-day streaming. What a sweet way to ensure your ceremony stretches beyond Maui’s shoreline!

A Hawaiian Inspired Ceremony for a Maui Beach Wedding

Reverend Richardo officiated such a warm and heartfelt ceremony for Mercedes & Alex. He included Hawaiian-inspired traditions, like a lei exchange chant. We could feel the embrace of the island as he offered a blessing over them, and their vows were so sweet.

Small beach weddings like this one allow us to get to know the couple, learn about their story, and understand their journey to this moment. It makes it all that much sweeter when they receive their final blessing and share that first kiss as husband & wife.

Keep scrolling to see how cute Mercedes & Alex are!

Toes in the Sand, Sun on our Shoulders, Love in our Hearts

After the ceremony, Mercedes & Alex took some photos with their kids. Their granddaughter Hazel was ready to steal the show (and our hearts!). We’re so glad she got to be a part of their wedding, as we know it made the moment and its memories that much sweeter.

Next, it was time for the newlyweds to get romantic portraits around the beach. Polo Beach is such a pretty spot. We got pictures with palm trees, lava rocks, emerald green shrubbery, and of course, that dreamy late afternoon glow!

This was such a fun Maui Beach Wedding, and we’re so grateful to be a part of it. Now we get to relive the excitement again and again by looking at these stunning photos!

Congratulations, Mercedes & Alex! We loved spending this Maui evening with you and wish you a lifetime of happiness!

Maui has a special place in Lynnda and David’s hearts because it reminds them of home! This sweet couple celebrated their anniversary with a celebration totally arranged by their sweet daughter. While deciding where to celebrate their love, their daughter knew this island would be the right place for all involved. Their Hawaii vow renewal was on the shores of DT Fleming Beach Park while the morning sun hung in the sky! We adore how perfect this event was for our Lynnda and David. Keep scrolling to experience this ceremony for yourselves.

Lynnda and David wanted their vow renewal to be a relaxed but family-oriented celebration! Only twelve people attended their event. However, surrounding our delightful duo was love and support from every guest! Kahu Tree was the officiant, and she delivered a heartwarming Hawaiian sermon. Then Stephan Boeker Films documented this meaningful occasion effortlessly, while Karma Hill Photography captured every moment beautifully. Now, they can relive this morning forever!

The Location For Their Hawaii Vow Renewal

DT Fleming Beach never fails to make morning ceremonies feel dreamy and intimate. The vibrant sun was hanging high in the sky — this natural lighting made the occasion feel enchanting. In addition, there was no cloud coverage, making the dramatic mountain views clear as day! Then the exquisite landscapes on the seaside enhanced the romantic mood. You can see the cerulean waves, beige sand, and lush greenery decorating the background of every shot. Above all, we love how the long shoreline provided plenty of space for every guest to stand comfortably!

Our Couple’s Story

Lynnda and David celebrated forty years of love at their Hawaii vow renewal! This celebration was especially poignant because our passionate pair were originally married at a refugee camp, so they didn’t get to have a wedding in the traditional sense. There was no fancy dress or party after. Their lovely daughter made sure the second celebration had all the bells and whistles. The couple loved Maui because it reminds our lovely couple of home — Cambodia! They’ve also had magnificent trips and unforgettable explorations with their family here. What a beautiful cull circle moment this must have been for this couple, knowing how far they have come since their original wedding in the refugee camp 40 years ago.

Currently, David is retired, while Lynnda works for Boeing. They also have three beautiful daughters! You can find this gorgeous duo spending time with their five grandchildren and traveling in their spare time.

Congratulations, Lynnda and David, on forty years of marriage! Thank you for sharing this occasion with us. We wish you a future full of quality time with family and new adventures!

Why They Had A Maui Venue Wedding

Whitney and Anthony decided to tie the knot in Maui because she adores the island! Our bride visited a few times with her relatives and immediately fell in love with Hawaii. However, Anthony has only been to Kauai! Whitney says if she and Anthony could move here and bring their families — they would! Our charming couple wanted their wedding to be simple, elegant, and relaxed. Thankfully, their sunset occasion was everything they desired and more!

Our Couple’s Story

Whitney and Anthony met through his sister, Rafaela, who also happened to be Whitney’s best friend in high school. On April 6, 2021, Anthony popped the question to Whitney! Our delightful duo walked down the beach when Anthony got down on one knee. Unknown to Whitney, Anthony had the ring for months and kept it a surprise from her and their families! Currently, Anthony is a landscaper. Then Whitney is an Elementary School Special Education Teacher. Most importantly, this adventurous pair is celebrating ten years of being together!

Congratulations, Whitney and Anthony! It was a pleasure to be part of this unforgettable event. We wish you a future full of camping trips and Disneyland adventures!

Angelica from Karma Hill Photography had the role of snapping these moments. During this event, she captured Nicole and Shawn’s blissful smiles and loving looks of adoration! This sunset affair was heartwarming; continue scrolling to experience it yourself.

This ceremony was simple and traditional! Shawn took his spot at the front of the venue by the officiant, Reverend Kuya. Next, it was time for the entrances to begin! First was our charming couple’s son, Alex, and daughter, Lexi. After them, it was time for Nicole to walk down the aisle with her father by her side! When they made it to the front, Nicole’s father traditionally gave her away to her groom.

The Charming Venue Wedding in Maui

We love having weddings at the Four Seasons in Wailea because our delightful duos get to choose from three different locations. For Nicole and Shawn’s ceremony, they decided on Plumeria Point! Framing this rooftop spot are two fairytale-like plumeria trees enhancing the enchanting ambiance. Not to mention, the weather effortlessly created an intimate and dreamy setting for this event! The heavy cloud coverage and soft glow in the sky make this occasion feel magical.

Once Reverend Kuya pronounces Nicole and Shawn as husband and wife, it was time to take their portraits! Since Four Seasons is an oceanfront property, our captivating couple traveled down to the seaside for their session. The scene was romantic, and you could see our lovely pair’s radiant newlywed glow in every shot! However, we like how you can see their passion and joy in these Maui venue wedding photos. There’s no questioning whether Nicole and Shawn are happy to be a married pair. Their affectionate smiles tell us everything we need to know!

When Rosanna and Timothy pictured their Maui Vow Renewal, they envisioned a carefree, fun, elegant, and beautiful event. Thankfully, their sunset occasion matched what they imagined!

Our beautiful couple celebrated their tenth anniversary in February of this year! However, Rosanna and Timothy wanted to commemorate this occasion with an exciting new experience. Since they’ve always wanted to visit Hawaii, they knew it’d be a lovely place to renew their vows. After doing research, they said Maui sounded like the perfect fit! Rosanna and Timothy wanted to enjoy this destination with their two kids and savor the island’s natural beauty.

The Romantic Vow Renewal in Maui

Rosanna and Timothy’s story began when they met at a Church Bible study youth group. Timothy made the first move by asking for Rosanna’s phone number. After this, their connection bloomed into a beautiful relationship!

When Rosanna and Timothy’s anniversary began approaching, they decided to do something special. They didn’t have a big ceremony ten years ago; instead, they got married at the courthouse after college. Even though Rosanna and Timothy didn’t have a traditional wedding, they say they’ve still experienced a strong joy-filled marriage. Our passionate pair shares the same goals, dreams, and faith — they were excited to celebrate this in Maui!

Currently, Timothy is a Cyber Security Engineer, while Rosanna is a Nurse Practitioner in Family Medicine. Our delightful duo have two precious children; a ten and one-year-old. In their spare time, you can find them being active in nature! They love swimming, biking, and going to the park. No wonder they decided to have their Maui vow renewal on the beach — it couldn’t have been more fitting for them!

Congratulations, Rosanna and Timothy, on ten years of marriage! A special Mahalo for sharing this monumental occasion with us. We wish you a future full of quality time with your loved ones!

Jolleen & Kalyn’s Maui Destination Wedding was picture-perfect. The weather was terrific, the brides were beautiful, and everyone was full of joy. Lahaina Shores Beach provided a gorgeous setting for the ceremony, and afterward we got portraits along the shoreline.

We are so excited to share these incredible photos with our newlyweds!

Style Inspiration for a Maui Destination Wedding

Jolleen & Kalyn each had a unique style that perfectly complemented each other. Kalyn dazzled in a vintage-inspired wedding dress with our Maui Elegance Bouquet. Jolleen rocked a bridal jumpsuit and included pastel colors in her Rustic Hawaiian bouquet. Individually, they looked amazing. Together, they looked like a tropical dream.

But their look wasn’t complete yet! Rev. Kuya led them in a traditional lei exchange, so they offered each other strands of fresh orchids during the ceremony. This was a sweet moment, and it also added extra tropical flair to their A+ bridal style!

About This Couple

Jolleen & Kalyn met back in 2018 when they both swiped right for each other. What started as flirty Tinder chats evolved into a life-long romance. They now have a home together and are parents to three dogs and two cats. While they sometimes feel like they’re running a zoo, they wouldn’t have it any other way!

Once they got engaged in 2020, Jolleen & Kalyn began planning a Maui Destination Wedding. While they each had visited Hawaii before, this was their first visit together. It was a great location for their wedding and a much-deserved vacation for these hard-working nurses!

Captured Hearts and Captured Moments

Karma Hill Photography captured Jolleen & Kalyn’s ceremony and portraits. Maui is always breath-taking, but this was an extra pretty evening. Combine that with two absolutely gorgeous brides, and you have a photography session that is simply amazing.

We could have stayed on the beach with Jolleen & Kalyn for ages, but the sun finally set, and the pair had to start celebrating with their family. So we wished them a warm aloha and looked forward to this moment, when we could share the images captured on their special day!

Congratulations, Jolleen & Kalyn! We wish you nothing but success and happiness!

Hatice has always dreamt of tying the knot with the sweeping views of the ocean around her. Isaac knew this, so he decided to make her wish a reality! Hatice was surprised when Isaac told her they were having a Maui destination wedding. Not to mention, this sunset affair itself felt like a fairytale!

These various hues complement the sweeping ocean views exquisitely! Next, Hatice is a breathtaking bride! Her gown is sleek, while her hair and makeup styling are classic. However, we like how she accessorized with sheer gloves — they add a chic touch to her look.

Then, Isaac and his groomsmen look fantastic! We like how simple and sophisticated these men look in their khaki pants and white button-up shirts. Then, Isaac’s khaki suit is bold and sharp. Above all, you can see how their boutonniere adds a delicate feel to their attire.

The Peaceful Maui Destination Wedding

Isaac and the guests were the first to arrive at Merriman’s. Then, when it was time, the wedding procession began. Once the bridal party was at the front, our bride made her grand entrance. Hatice walked down the aisle with her sister by her side! 

When our delightful duo stood together, you could tell there was no one else they’d rather have beside them! Isaac and Hatice’s faces were full of nothing but radiant smiles and loving looks!

Isaac and Hatice have been together for six years! He proposed to her in Colorado while they were skiing. Our adventurous duo was at the top of the mountain when Isaac popped the question!

Congratulations, Hatice and Isaac! Thank you for letting us be part of your Maui destination wedding. We wish you a future full of new travels and great moments together!
