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.

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!

Annie and Brad wanted to have a simply elegant day with their loved ones surrounding them! Not to mention, they chose the perfect location for their Hawaii beach wedding. The weather was beautiful, and the natural landscapes were picturesque. In every picture captured by Karma Hill Photography, you can see our charming couple’s radiant smiles. You can tell they were savoring every minute of this sunset occasion. Keep scrolling to experience this exquisite event for yourself.

Lush greenery, lofty palm trees, and cerulean waves surrounded Annie and Brad. In the sky were heavy clouds glowing softly from the sun’s vibrant rays. All in all, this location created a dreamy scene for this wedding. Then Kason from Manutea Nui E enhanced the romantic ambiance by playing to the mood on his ukulele. There’s nothing we would change about this sunset affair — it was flawless from start to finish!

Why They Had A Hawaii Beach Wedding

Annie and Brad knew they wanted to have a destination wedding on the beach. Then they chose Maui because Annie had never experienced the island for herself, unlike Brad, who has! It was the perfect opportunity for our delightful duo to have a new adventure together and get married! Then, Brad’s family was in favor of the location as well.

When it was time to plan their special day, they turned to our team at Simple Maui Wedding! Our passionate pair fell in love with our package options, aesthetic website, and exquisite photography. Above all, we enjoyed making Annie and Brad’s tropical and classic beach wedding a reality! Especially since we know our gorgeous couple loved it.

Congratulations, Annie and Brad! It was a pleasure to be part of your simply elegant beach wedding. We wish you a future full of delicious meals, new travels, and entertaining TV shows!
