Jessica and Darin said “I do” with a Hawaii Venue Wedding at the 5 Palms in Wailea. Rain is a sacred blessing in Hawaii, and when it graces your wedding day, it’s said to represent a lush and strong marriage. The covered lanai at the 5 Palms served as a gorgeous indoor venue with bungalow-inspired architecture and a sweeping view of the Pacific Ocean. After Maui sent her blessing, the sun peaked out and Jessica and Darin had their first dance as a married couple right there on the beach!  

Our Couple’s Story

Our couple met eight years ago through work, with Darin working as a graphic designer and Jessica as an Executive Assistant. Maui is a special place for Jessica and Darin–after all, it’s where they took their first vacation together! It’s little wonder why they chose Maui to be the location for their Hawaii venue wedding. There’s even been talk of settling down on the island, to which we say… Aloha! 

When the time was right, Jessica and Darin became engaged by the river at his parents’ home. You can find them relaxing and enjoying themselves here nearly every other weekend. Surrounded by a literal dessert, this body of water is beyond special and seems to further represent the strength of Jessica and Darin’s marriage, just look at those genuine expressions of love! Keep scrolling for the spectacular beach shots!

Thank you, Jessica and Darin, for trusting us to coordinate your Hawaii Venue Wedding. We wish you all the happiness in the years ahead. And we look forward to seeing you on Maui again sometime in the near future!

We could not get enough of the smiles and laughter during Shannon and Troy’s Maui Micro Wedding! Southside Beach set the stage, and Shannon and Troy brought the newlywed magic! With only four special guests looking on, this was the perfect wedding day for a small-town couple. 

The Maui Micro Wedding

Escorted by her father, Shannon made her debut on the Maui shore as Reverend Kuya blew the traditional Hawaiin conch shell. Troy’s first look was nothing but joy! Wearing a lace applique gown with endless drapery, Shannon is the incarnation of beauty. We love her bold skin art and elegant accessories. In fact, Shannon’s father designed and created her earrings and Troy’s wedding ring! What a beautiful way to create heirlooms that will be treasured for generations.

Our Couple’s Story

Shannon and Troy have known each other since the sixth grade, but it wasn’t until they were nineteen and working together when things took a romantic turn. After realizing they had plenty in common (including a mutual attraction!), Troy planned a romantic dinner for their first date. Six years and two wonderful boys later, and their Maui Micro Wedding became a reality! 

Hailing from a small town in Oregon (population 2,000), Shannon and Troy felt a small wedding in Maui was the perfect way to solidify their union. With limited stress and endless tropical bliss to indulge in, Shannon and Troy were enjoying their wedding plus vacation combo! Keep scrolling for more of this beautiful couple!  

Mahalo, Shannon and Troy, for allowing us to be a part of your Micro Wedding in Maui. We had a wonderful time getting to know you and wish you all the best in the years ahead!

What do you get four years after Amber and Nolan walked into a bar? A gorgeous Micro Wedding in Hawaii! A glowing sunset, crashing waves, and a couple who positively glowed with love were the defining features of this beach wedding on Ironwoods. Amber and Nolan’s original wedding plan was to tie the knot in Vegas and honeymoon in the islands. But they soon realized they could get married AND honeymoon in Hawaii at the same time! We’re thrilled they decided to go with Plan B (Which everyone knows stands for “Plan Beach-wedding”)! 

The Micro Wedding in Hawaii Ceremony

Amber’s son walked her down the steps to the shore, where Nolan waited with the biggest, most genuine smile. Dressed in a goddess gown with lace and elegant draping, Amber was a radiant beach bride. We love how the wild orchid woven into her delicate flower crown adds a burst of blush and plum. Nolan wore a simple button-down with gray slacks and a blush-colored tie to match his bride’s florals. The soft hues looked dreamy against the white sand and turquoise ocean. 

Reverend Kuya opened the ceremony by blowing the conch shell, but a different special someone officiated the wedding. Tying Amber and Nolan together in holy matrimony was none other than Susan, the owner of the bar they met in! Talk about going above and beyond for your favorite patrons!

Following their beautiful Micro Wedding in Hawaii, Amber and Nolan took the walkway up to the cliffs of Ironwoods. Keep scrolling for all the soft and romantic couples portraits in Maui! 

Mahalo nui loa, Amber and Nolan, for trusting us to be your Maui Wedding Coordinators. You are a beautiful couple, and we wish you a long and prosperous life together!

With over a decade of love beneath their wings, Kelli & Jordan glided into a beautiful marriage with a simple and elegant Beach Wedding in Maui. Ironwoods Beach set the scene with rolling waves and rocky backdrops. The island sent her blessing with a steady breeze that caused all sorts of playful mischief and showcased the flow of Kelli’s lace gown (and Jordan’s maile lei!). It was a very special day filled with deep love and genuine friendship.

Beach Wedding in Maui Location

Ironwoods is one of the most rustic beach locations Maui has to offer. Situated on the western shore in Kapalua, it features white sands, deep blue oceans, and dramatic cliffsides. The sky was slightly overcast during Kelli and Jordan’s beach wedding in Maui, but the weather held out and added to the rustic tropical atmosphere. 

Our Couple’s Story

Kelli and Jordan met during their sophomore year in high school. Even though they attended different schools, they somehow managed to find each other. Love is crafty like that! Jordan knew a few of Kelli’s friends through baseball and they hit it off quickly over the phone.

Kelli was so charmed with him, that she asked Jordan to homecoming before they’d even met in person! When you know, ya know! And clearly, Kelli knew! These two will be celebrating eleven years together this October! You can’t miss the love, affection, and friendship beaming from these smiles!

Following the ceremony, Kelli and Jordan tossed petals into the ocean in honor and remembrance of Jordan’s late father. It was a beautiful moment.

How sweet are these two?! Kelli looks exquisite in a form-fitting lace gown from Lulu’s. Her flower crown and rustic Hawaiian bouquet fit perfectly on the wild shores of Ironwoods. Keep scrolling for all the wedding day sweetness!

Mahalo nui loa, Kelli and Jordan, for sharing your special day with us. We wish you all the happiness in the years ahead!

This Pennsylvania couple is as sweet as they come! Not only were they a dream to work with while planning their beach elopement in Maui, but they also thoughtfully brought chocolate bars from their home state for their vendor team. Now that’s next-level sweetness!

Jennifer and Michael chose a morning ceremony for their Maui elopement ceremony. We love this option as it is typically cooler, the beaches are far less busy and then you have the whole day to enjoy together as a married couple! Elopements are all about breaking the rules and doing whatever you want, who says you have to go to dinner after your ceremony? Maybe a morning snorkel would be even more special!

Just look at how giddy these two are to get married, we just adore their chemistry.

Jennifer looked stunning in her Adrianna Papell illusion back dress from Madame Bridal in Boynton Beach Florida

Another great thing about an elopement? You can splash and have fun without worrying about heading to your reception dripping wet. We love that these two didn’t mind letting loose a bit and having fun on the beach. Plus, it’s refreshing after being in the sun! 🙂

Jennifer and Michael, Mahalo for choosing Simple Maui Wedding as your wedding team! We were honored to be a part of your day. We hope to see you back in Maui in the future!!

This sweet Brooklyn couple traveled long and far with many restrictions in place in order to make their dream Maui elopement a reality! Getting to Maui is no easy task with all our regulations but for anyone willing to put in the work, we are so thankful to have them! We feel blessed to have been a part of Stephanie & Murad’s Maui wedding!

Murad’s favorite band is Counting Crows and he always knew he’d love a girl who loves Counting Crows just as much as he does. When he came across a profile on OkCupid that listed her favorite band as Counting Crows he had to send Stephanie a message! He was so excited that he sent her a novel long message and somewhere in there asking what her favorite song was. She replied with 2 words “favorite song ?? ;)”  If it wasn’t for the winky face he would have thought it a lost cause! Obviously it wasn’t a lost cost, it was a means to a deeper connection. To think this is where they are today is pure joy!!

Stephanie and Murad shared sweet personal vows the expressed just how perfect of a match they are.  We adore their Vow Books and enjoyed every minute of their words to each other.

Our cake package offers a sweet treat on your wedding day while capturing the traditional ‘cake cutting’ pictures.

We are so honored to have been a part of your Maui elopement Stephanie & Murad! Thank you for making the long journey and celebrating with your toes in the sand!! We hope to see you in Maui again soon!

Come see another beautiful elopement by Simple Maui Wedding: https://simplemauiwedding.net/amanda-eric-maui-beach-elopement/

After helping their niece elope here a few years ago, Amber & Stephen were inspired to have their own unforgettable vow renewal on Maui. Married for over 17 years, this couple wanted a celebration that was special and meaningful yet still fun and casual. And we think their Big Day was that and then some!

Amber & Stephen first said “I do” in a courthouse and felt the rustic shore of Ironwoods was the perfect place to say “I do again.” With heavy rains forecasted, our couple was happily surprised to be greeted with a glistening ocean and warm sands on the morning of their celebration.

We love how Amber tossed the classic white dress aside and showed off her spunk with a bold print of cascading blues! And with Stephen decked in a casual polo and shorts to match, this couple is ready for a Maui style celebration!

Residing on the Garden Ilse for part of the year, our couple knows how to stay comfortable on the shoreside. Although the time they spend on Maui is becoming less and less now that they have two sweet grandbabies!

And speaking of sweet, their little girl Mia joined the party, offering some congratulatory kisses of her own.

Sometimes, the love is so bright, you need a good pair of shades!

Mahalo nui loa, Amber & Stephen, for choosing us to coordinate your awesome vow renewal on Maui. We hope you enjoyed your breakfast at the Plantation in Kapalua, and we wish you all the very best in the years ahead…

Overlooking Wailea, the grassy terrace set the stage for Ashley & Robert’s airy and elegant Gannon’s wedding on Maui. The weather was perfect for an outdoor ceremony: overcast skies with soft, romantic lighting and a cool breeze that drifted up from the ocean.

Shades of purple were the colors of choice for this vibrant young couple. After visiting Ali’i Kula Lavender Farm, Ashley and Robert fell in love with the subtle hues and wanted to weave the soft color palette into their Special Day. And the result? Beauty for ages!

Robert looked on-point in a dusky lavender tie and a violet boutonniere.

And their adorable (and very good girl) Chloe joined the party while sporting an extra stylish purple hair ribbon. Which was just the cutest thing! Who’s a pretty girl?

Ashley is! We love this shot of pure joy on Robert’s face as he watches his bride walk down the aisle. Keep scrolling for all of the heartwarming moments!

After our beautiful couple said “I do,” we traveled down to the white sandy shore of Southside beach. These two newlyweds have a special connection to the Wailea cost… It was about a year and a half ago, on the shore of Po’olenalena, where Robert asked Ashley to be his wife.

And to make it something of a tradition, they hoped to visit as many Maui beaches as possible during their stay… in fact, Southside was the beach they’d planned on visiting next! It worked out perfectly… and speaking of perfection, we can’t get over how amazing these Maui couples portraits came out!

Mahalo nui loa, Ashley and Robert, for choosing us to plan your Gannon’s wedding on Maui. It was truly a beautiful occasion. We wish you all the very best in the years ahead…

To celebrate their 25th anniversary, Mari-June & Roy flew in from Cali for their unforgettable Hawaii beach vow renewal! And of course, they brought their kids with them… including their furbaby, Max! This little ball of adorableness has traveled all across the country with his humans–and having visited Oahu once before, he was no stranger to the sandy shore!

Our couple met in high school and were married six years later. They love to travel, watch sports, and have little lunch dates together. It’s clear that these two have an inseparable bond and they’re still as head-over-heels in love as they were on that first day of high school…

Max was such a good boy! Although he was used to the sand, he was still a little unfamiliar with the Maui waves. Yet he stayed cool as a cucumber. Check out those sweet brown eyes!

Just as Mari-June & Roy once again declared their commitment and love for one another, the sky began to glow in a subtle coral, perfectly matching our couple’s special day palette. Talk about a good luck sign!

After the toast, Mari-June & Roy made a heartwarming declaration to their daughters. They wanted them to know that they’ll always be there with open arms and unconditional love… it was so touching!

Mari-June is on-point in a clean and classic gown with draped shoulder accents and a gorgeous woven side-braid! And Max is sporting a pinstripe suit and a smile to drool over!

We love, love, love the sincerity and true love captured in this shot! How sweet can one couple be?!

And speaking of sweet, this whole family is dressed to the nines and positively luminous!

Mahalo, Mari-June & Roy, for selecting Simple Maui Wedding for your Hawaii beach vow renewal. Your special day was absolutely beautiful, and we wish you an abundance of love in the years ahead…

Tiffany & Scott’s Maui Wedding on the Beach was overflowing with elegance… and cuteness! Together for over 10 years, these Los Angeles lovebirds have two adorable boys in the nest, and their wild antics and bubbling personalities were so refreshing to capture!

Tiffany & Scott met through a mutual friend, and not long after, Scott proposed at their favorite restaurant. While they were originally planning on eloping with just their two young sons, they decided they couldn’t say “I do” without the presence of their closest friends and family. And what a funloving event it turned out to be!

Speaking of funloving, how incredibly dapper are these two young gents?! We’re loving the suspenders and bowties… not to mention those adorable faces!

During the ceremony, Tiffany & Scott exchanged heartfelt vows. There are few things as touching as the honest sentiments shared between a couple who have grown together and cherished one another throughout the years…

How gorgeous is this shot?! We are speechless … So, we’ll let Tiffany & Scott’s Maui beach wedding photographer do the talking:

“I felt like every photo I took was amazing just because Tiffany was one of the most beautiful brides, and her family just looked so great together from the outfits to the hair–everything just really was beautiful.” -Tenessa

And we couldn’t agree more!

Mahalo nui loa, Tiffany & Scott, for trusting us with your Maui wedding on the beach. We wish you all the joy in the years ahead and send our fondest Aloha…

Come see another beautiful couple who said “I do” with Simple Maui Wedding: Just the Two of Us – Anh & Josh’s Maui Beach Elopement

Considering the easygoingness of Mattye & Luke’s Maui beach wedding, it’s little surprise that they hail from a small Arkansas town called Pleasant Plains. These cattle farmers love the breezy and rustic pasture life, so when they found Simple Maui Wedding, they knew our laidback yet elegant approach to beach ceremonies was the perfect fit for them!

Our couple met over seven years ago, and even though Luke was involved with someone else at the time, he knew he was destined to be with Mattye. But it wasn’t until years later when an innocent Facebook comment on a newborn calf kickstarted their journey together. And from then on, they were unstoppable!

Luke proposed to Mattye in her favorite restaurant, The Olive Garden. After the meal he excused himself, and when he returned to the table he was down on one knee, ring in hand.

A friendly server recorded the special moments, capturing all the tears and laughter. And looking over these tender and heartfelt images, it’s easy to envision the lifetime of sincere and honest love that lies ahead for these two…

We’re blown away by these striking sunset photos! Peaches and French blues are boldly accented by the rocky outcrop. We love how our couple is perfectly framed by the soft golden light…

Honest and true, Jessica & James’ beach wedding on Maui was bursting with smiles and positive energy–we could not get enough of these adorable love birds!

As a restaurant manager, Jessica had no idea that her visiting chef wouldn’t just ignite the burners, but he would also ignite her heart! It was love at first sight. A year after they met, as the morning ripened into the day, James proposed and their journey into marriage began…

And in the early light of a Maui day, as the soft morning sun cascaded across the sands of Maluaka Beach, Jessica and James said: “I do.”

This beautiful capture of James perfectly encapsulates his love. The connection between these two is positively magical!

This couple clearly has good taste… in the kitchen and in their closet! James’ cobalt and teal scroll-patterned tie makes a splash.

And we can’t get enough of the elegant beadwork and button-down artistry of Jessica’s ivory mermaid gown.

Goddess or bride? …Why not both?

“Oh, my god, Becky… look at her bouquet…” We love, love, love when couples let loose and enjoy their special day! With the echo of “I do” still ringing in the air, not even the Maui sun can outshine these two souls in love!

Congratulations, Jessica and James! Thank you for trusting us with your enchanting beach wedding on Maui. We wish you all the fire in the years ahead!
