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!

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…

Mahalo nui loa, Mattye & Luke, for trusting us with your Maui beach wedding. We wish you all the very best in the years ahead…

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!

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.

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!
