The Maui Vow Renewal

Katy and Ben exchanged leis on the sandy shores of Po’olenalena with the morning sun shining above them. Our beautiful couple, along with their two children, Rocco and Lyla, arrived at this South Maui beach together. The foamy waves crashed as Kahu Ricardo Hanako’o officiated. You could even feel the magic during the ceremony!

One of our favorite moments was when Katy placed leis around Rocco and Lyla’s necks. You always see the bride and groom exchanging then but to see their children involved is absolutely delightful!

Our Couple’s Story

Ben and Katy have been together since their mutual friends set them up. One day, Katy left work only to find a rose and card on her car from Ben! The card said he was in town and couldn’t wait to hang out with her. When she arrived home, she saw flowers and candles everywhere with a trail of framed pictures from their times together.

Each frame had a card attached to it detailing how Ben felt about Katy. As she followed the trail, it led her to Ben who was waiting on one knee. After she said yes, he made her dinner then surprised her with a limo ride with their best friends!

Our Couple’s Story

Nicole and Johnny’s story began when they met at their job. Both of them got hired around the same time which led to their unexpected meeting. However, this wasn’t our lovely couple’s first time coming to Hawaii!

Johnny popped the question to Nicole at the top of the Haleakala Summit during sunrise! We know that proposal was stunning because you will always see a vivid spectrum painting the sky at dawn. Afterward, they fell in love with the aloha spirit and decided a venue wedding in Maui would be perfect!

Emily and Isaiah’s family and friends were ecstatic for them. We even saw a few groomsmen turn away because of tears of joy in their eyes! Our favorite thing was how they had Isaiah’s stepfather, Terrance, officiate the Maui venue wedding. It added a special personal touch to their ceremony. Afterward, everyone gathered inside Gannon’s for a large reception.

Our Couple’s Story

This beautiful couple has known each other since they were in seventh grade. Then in high school, they dated off and on a few times. After that, they lost touch with one another; but fate had other plans for them! They reconnected when they were twenty years old and have been inseparable ever since!

When it was time to propose, Tyler took Jessica to their middle school — where their story first started. Then they got married on the magical day of 09/10/11! They first visited the island in 2011 for their honeymoon. Charmed by the aloha spirit, they promised themselves they’d come back ten years later with their family and friends. 

Currently, they have two-year-old twins named Nova and Nolan and three dogs! Since they love being outside, it was no surprise they wanted their Maui vow renewal held at exquisite Dragon Fruit Farm! You can find them at car shows, hiking, or enjoying time on their patio in their spare time.

Because they got engaged IN the ocean, Miranda and DJ figured they should get married at the ocean! And what better reason to have a Maui Beach Elopement? The morning at Ironwoods glistened in brilliant shades of aquamarine and sapphire, and with their three beautiful children celebrating beside them, it was the perfect way to tie the knot and step into marriage.

For their Maui Beach Elopement, Miranda and DJ chose a morning ceremony. The tropical brilliance of an early ceremony is take-your-breath-away lovely. Just look at that glowing ocean… and take a look at that glowing bride and groom! We loved how Miranda and DJ wore shades to complement the Hawaiian shore.

Our Couple’s Story

Miranda and DJ first crossed paths in college, but it wasn’t until 2014 when DJ reached out on Instagram and the romance began. After becoming official in 2015, it was a fast track to love! They were blessed with their first son in 2016 and were engaged in 2019. DJ popped the big question in Cozumel, Mexico while they were swimming in the ocean by the dock. And now they’ve come full circle, saying their “I do’s” with the ocean sprays on their shoulders!

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? 

Hawaii Beach Elopement

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”!

Tara & Tommy had the most stunning Maui elopement at Southside Beach last week! Their intimate morning ceremony featured calm waters, clear views, and a quiet beach. Opting for an elopement allowed them to focus on what truly matters – their new marriage and their sweet kids!

Reverend Richardo offered a Hawaiian Blessing, and the couple wrote their own vows for each other. What a great way to make an elopement ceremony even more meaningful!

Maui Elopement

About Our Couple

Tara & Tommy met over 20 years ago, before either one of them were married or had kids. Once they were single again, they reconnected through Social Media. Tara said it was a random re-connection, but we think it might be fate!

These sweethearts got engaged in February of 2020. They’re a long distance couple, so it’s been an especially challenging engagement. We’re so glad that everything worked out for them to have a Maui elopement this summer! They had just two guests with them, and we couldn’t dream of a more adorable new family. Look at how their children are simply glowing!

I Do, and I Tattoo

We love the portraits that Karma Hill Photography captures at each Maui elopement. Tara & Tommy are naturals in front of the camera. We especially love how Tara’s dress and bouquet highlight her gorgeous tattoos. And is that a tattoo we see on her new husband too?

Cinemaui provided videography for Tara & Tommy, so they’ll have both photos and videos to share with all their loved ones back home!

Tara & Tommy are the sweetest pair, and we know they have a lifetime of love an happiness ahead of them. We’re so grateful we got to be a part of their Maui wedding!

There was nothing but clear skies when it came to Lauren and Louie’s Maui Venue Wedding (both literally and figuratively!). The 5 Palms in Wailea featured spectacular views of the sapphire ocean and brilliant scenic coastline stretching as far as the eye could see. But nothing was more dazzling and eye-catching than our sweet couple! Lauren and Louie lit up the shore with their glowing vibes, so clearly on top of the world as they said “I do” to the love of their lives.

The Maui Venue Wedding

In the morning hours, while the sun is vivid yet still gentle, loved ones gathered on the manicured lawn of the 5 Palms for Lauren and Louie’s Maui Venue Wedding. As they anticipated the bride’s entrance, our photographer asked Louie if he could guess what Lauren’s dress would look like. He nailed it! Someone knows his bride! Louie’s smile when he watched Lauren walk in was priceless.

Our Couple’s Story

Lauren works as a receptionist at Honda, and Louie currently works for the US Air Force as a weapons instructor. Their love story began in quite possibly the purest and sweetest way possible, beneath the arches of the church while they were both children. Even as a seven-year-old, Lauren knew there was something special, and super cute, about the nine-year-old Louie.

But it wasn’t until after high school when Louie was on leave for Christmas and visiting family that the ball got rolling. Our couple bumped into each other at a Jersey Mike’s and couldn’t be separated until it was time for him to leave. It was long-distance for a little while until Lauren moved to be closer to Louie’s station. During a hometown visit to California, Louie planned a couples photoshoot. But it was so much more than that!

Louie’s parents are professional photographers, and they knew the plan. One second Lauren was posing for the camera, and the next she was turning to find Louie down on his knee! The sweet moment was all caught on film! On the topic of sweet moments in front of the camera, keep scrolling for more!

Jacqueline and Jesus know how to celebrate a Maui Beach Wedding! In the soft morning light on the epic sands of Ironwoods Beach, Jacqueline and Jesus were married on the oceanfront with the turquoise waters glistening in the backdrop. After their “I do’s,” they ventured up the towering cliffs for dramatic and jaw-dropping photos and then cut the cake and curled up for a romantic picnic! The next day, our friends at Karma Hill Photography met up with Jacqueline and Jesus on Southside Beach for a fun trash the dress session

Our Couple’s Story

Jacqueline is an Ultrasound Technologist at a hospital, and Jesus works for a landscaping company. Together they love to try out new restaurants and keep things laid back. Jacqueline loves to cook and binge-watch Netflix (don’t we all!), and Jesus enjoys being outside and playing video games. In the future, they hope to bring two mini-me cuties into the world!

Jacqueline and Jesus met in middle school, when Jesus was the “cool kid” and Jacquline was simply “the new girl.” She never thought he was in her league, with his job (already!), his love for sports, and his pristine Nikes. Little did Jacqueline know that he was pining for her the whole time! He couldn’t resist her sense of humor and brilliant mind! Jesus knew Jacqueline was the one, and last summer, he took Jacqueline into his house to a room filled with flower petals and asked her to marry him. The rest is right here on our blog!
