Katy & Matt said “I do” on Po’olenalena Beach ten years ago … and this month they celebrated their diamond anniversary with a Maui vow renewal on the very same shore.
The couple remarked that not only were the date and location a perfect match to the original ceremony, but the weather was identical as well! It’s almost as if the couple had transcended time. Only now they had two beautiful cherubs in tow!
Ecstatic to be back on the island, Katy and Matt were hoping to spend more time exploring the hidden locales and relaxing in the breeze. They also looked forward to watching the humpbacks splash in the ocean.
In fact, that’s one reason the couple decided to have their wedding in January. The koholā (Humpback whales) migrate to the islands in the early winter months. And like the majestic whales, this family’s radiance was a sight to behold!
Katy describes the island of Maui as her happy place, her “Disney World.” And looking at these pics of their children having a blast during the ceremony … we think it’s safe to say that the kids feel the same.
This stunning shot overlooking the waterfront has us utterly floored. What a showstopping capture of the beautiful couple and the mirrored oasis. It’s a blissful image perfectly suited for such a special anniversary, symbolizing all that has been and all that has yet to come …
“Cherubs” truly is the only way to describe these two … We’re smitten!
Thank you, Katy and Matt, for allowing us to share in your special day. We wish your family all the happiness and whale splashes in the decades to come …

On the breezy shores of Ironwoods and set against a shimmering waterfront, Kayla Jo & John tied the knot in an intimate Kapalua Beach wedding. This gorgeous New York couple hand-selected elements of rustic flair and timeless glamour, perfectly pairing the polished style of their hometown with the lively nature of the tropics.
The Location
Flooded with natural light and vivid blooms, Ironwoods is situated north of Kāʻanapali and overlooks the statuesque cliffs of the West Maui Mountains. One of the most unforgettable locales on Maui, the embankment that curves around the backside of Lahaina makes for an earth-moving experience that’s rarely seen by the casual visitor. And because of the gallantry of this stunning couple, we were able to capture some of the most spectacular poses on the cliffscapes that we’ve ever seen!
The Ceremony
Reverend Kuya Alamodin officiated the ceremony, opening with the deep, reverberating call of the Hawaiian conch shell. The pu (conch shell) is used in Hawaiian culture to offer heavenly respect and bless the affair with holy mana.
To the tune of “Marry Me” and watched on by close family, Kayla Jo made her debut while linking arms with her proud father.
We loved capturing the intimate and sincere moments between the couple.
Who could not be inspired by this radiant beauty? Adorned in a haku lei and carrying one of our rustic Hawaiian bouquets, Kayla Jo takes our breath away.
From the pearly shimmer of her gown’s bodice to the silken flow of her beach-ready hair, we’re left wide-eyed as we soak in her otherworldly grace that was so exquisitely captured in these shots.
Excuse us while we collect our jaws from the floor…
We thought it was extra special that the couple created a personal sign to use during the session. A friend hand-lettered across their favorite album by Tim McGraw. Not only is “Shotgun Rider” their wedding song, but they also attended one of his concerts on a date… how incredibly sentimental!
As the sun dipped below the horizon, the couple shared a few embraces on the cliffscape…
And as we said earlier, the session was breathtaking!
Thank you, Kayla Jo & John for making us a part of your unforgettable Kapalua beach Wedding… We wish you all the happiness in the years to come…

When we asked Michael and Laura what they wanted their Maui Elopement to be, they told us “intimate and chill”. We think their Maui wedding ceremony was exactly that and more. It was also beautiful, moving and personal.
About The Couple
Micheal proposed to Laura at the top of her favorite hiking trail “sweaty and dirty” which she joked is their natural state. We’d say they clean up pretty well! We love their bridal style, with Laura’s lace dress gently blowing in the breeze and Michael’s blue suit complimenting the ocean, they looked perfect for their beach wedding.
They had talked about a courthouse wedding to take care of the legal side of the marriage, but then remembered they had a trip already booked to Maui. They decided to turn the vacation into a wedding and honeymoon! What a great idea! A beautiful intimate way to start your journey together as husband and wife.
They decided to make the drive together from the opposite side of the island rather than wait to see each other at the ceremony. This worked great for them and took a little of the pressure off, which kept the “chill” part of what they wanted. The ceremony started with a conch shell blowing and tears being held back. When they said their custom vows to each other, the tears could not be held back any longer. We loved how sweet they were to each other and the fact they took the time to write down their feelings and share them in such an intimate way.
Thank you, Laura and Michael, for including us in your “intimate and chill” wedding, we loved every minute of it! We wish you both the best in all your future adventures together!

We absolutely loved being a part of Jenny and Brandon’s Maui Wedding. The Pacific Northwest couple is just a few months away from welcoming a baby boy to their family and could not be more excited.
A planned work trip to Maui for Brandon turned into the perfect opportunity to tie the knot and they chose the most beautiful evening for it. It was one of the most epic sunsets we have seen in a long time, and we see a lot of sunsets!
About the Couple
After meeting on Instagram via a funny comment on one of Jenny’s videos, they started to talk on DM and never stopped. The connection only deepened after they connected in real life. They share a love of sports and when they aren’t busy with work, watching their favorite team the Seattle Seahawks. Go Hawks!
The Wedding Day
Jenny and Brandon chose a Maui beach wedding ceremony at Po’olenalena beach just before sunset. They had a lovely group of friends and family who traveled to witness and support their wedding and the mood on the beach that day was definitely one of excitement and love.
After a touching ceremony performed by Reverend Kuya they took advantage of the scenery to take photos with loved ones, each other and celebrate that beautiful baby bump!
The overcast day surprised everybody with a stunning sunset and it was the perfect way to send them off to the rest of their life together.
Mahalo Brandon and Jenny for choosing us to be a part of your next adventure together!

Vicky and Joseph decided to have a Maui Destination Wedding because they really wanted a beach wedding in a beautiful location. And it doesn’t get better than Ironwoods! We set up on the left side of the beach because they loved having the cliffs in the background during their ceremony. It was seriously so stunning, just see for yourself!
From the very start of their wedding we could tell this couple shares a very special bond. The expression of complete love on our groom’s face when he saw his bride for the first time, said it all! And we can’t get over how much joy Vicky was radiating through her smile. (Take a peek of this moment in the gallery below).
About Vicky and Joseph
When these two met 6 years ago while taking a class together at a community college, they started out as study buddies and eventually started dating. Vicky is now a nurse and Joseph is a pharmacist and they love going to the lake, spending time with friends, and playing with their dog. Joseph also has a 9 year old daughter and we are so glad she could share in the excitement of their special day!
It was especially sweet to witness as our newlyweds interacted with each other during wedding portraits. They were so cute together and up for all of our photographer’s ideas, which is always a plus lol. The waves were especially HUGE, which Vicky and Joseph loved!
They made for some really beautiful and dramatic photos and their sunset skies were colorful and pink. We love that this is how they’ll always remember their wedding day at Ironwoods Beach. It was literally a perfect evening for their Maui Destination Wedding!
Thank you, Vicky and Joseph, for letting Simple Maui Wedding celebrate with you and your loved ones! We had an unforgettable time with you both and with you a lifetime of happiness as husband and wife. Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

Being part of Heidi and Kevin’s Maui Venue Wedding was an absolute honor! These two were seriously the sweetest and so great to work with. Before the ceremony even began, it was obvious Kevin was so excited to marry his best friend! He told us he’s never met anyone who he’s “just clicked” with like Heidi. They make each other laugh and always finish each others sentences, which was so cute!
They’ve also opened a bar together in Vegas and have a blast working with each other! And how could they not when they are such a fun couple? After helping plan and then attending their Maui Venue Wedding, we’re confident that they will have the most amazing life together as husband and wife! Thank you, Heidi and Kevin, for inviting Simple Maui Wedding to celebrate with you on such a special occasion. Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

This Maui Venue Wedding was full of so much love and excitement! And it all started with a first look moment with our bride and groom. Jeremy’s face as soon as he saw Marissa said it all!

This couple was especially excited to have their closest family and friends with them at their Maui Venue Wedding. We just adore all these photos of them with their wedding party!

After meeting online and dating for 3 years, Jessica and Nicholas were excited to celebrate their love with a Maui Destination Wedding. And it was definitely a celebration to remember! So we love that they chose to invite their closest loved ones to join them!
We thought it was especially fun that 2 of the couples in attendance at their Maui Destination Wedding share the same anniversary date! One couple celebrating 7 years, the other couple celebrating 1 year. Jessica even joked that they would be able to take anniversary trips together! How fun, and we think Maui would be the perfect place for them to come back to 😉 . Thank you, Jessica and Nicholas, for asking Simple Maui Wedding to help make this day every bit as special as your relationship! Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

Getting to be part of this bride and groom’s Maui Venue Wedding was so much fun! Not only because these two were a blast, but because we love their story. They met because Timothy was friends with Alexey’s older brother. She had a crush on him and now they just got married in paradise! We love it!
From the moment Timothy saw his bride walking down the grassy lawn at Gannon’s he couldn’t stop smiling all evening long. And it’s easy to see why! Alexey looked absolutely stunning in a wedding dress by Sottero and Midgley. And with hair and make-up done by the talented team at MeiLi Autumn Beauty, her bridal glow was in full force! We especially love that she chose to add flowers to her hairstyle for an extra festive touch. All in all every detail of this destination wedding was a dream come true! Thank you, Alexey and Timothy, for trusting Simple Maui Wedding to help plan such a special occasion! Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

Coming all the way from England Niki and Gavin were set on having their Maui Beach Wedding be one to remember. And their location didn’t disappoint! They fell in love with Maluaka Beach and that beautiful backdrop. I mean just check out that view!
We could easily tell they were head over heels for each other and were so happy to share have their ceremony on one of Maui’s most amazing beaches! With them were Gavin’s two kids and Niki’s parents which created a nice and intimate setting for their Maui Beach Wedding. They were all super sweet and we loved their accents! Thank you so much, Niki and Gavin, for letting Simple Maui Wedding celebrate with you on such a memorable evening. Congratulations and Warm Aloha!
