Rebecca and Matthew’s Maui venue wedding at Gather was the kind of day that felt effortlessly timeless, filled with joy, soft ocean breezes, and golden light that seemed to bless every moment. From start to finish, their day flowed beautifully, each part blending seamlessly into the next.

The day began with excitement and laughter as Rebecca got ready, her stunning gown a perfect match for the island’s elegant simplicity. Soon after, she walked down the lush green lawn arm in arm with her father, sunlight filtering through the palm trees, toward Matthew waiting under a delicate white arch framed by tropical greenery. It was a breathtaking moment. full of love, anticipation, and the quiet kind of joy that only happens once.

Meaningful Moments

Their ceremony at the Maui venue overlooked the sparkling South Shore, where they exchanged vows surrounded by loved ones. Their day centered on presence, emotion, and the promises they made to each other, not extravagance. Every part of their celebration centered around their vows, and that made it all the more powerful.

Our Maui wedding photography style captures moments like these, clean, natural, and emotionally true. We love capturing a day that feels real, without distraction or clutter. The soft colors, open skies, and warm light of Gather Maui gave us the perfect backdrop to do just that.

A New Beginning – Valarie & AJ’s Maui Venue Wedding

A tropical beginning to a new chapter of their love! We recently photographed Valarie and AJ’s Maui venue wedding!

Some love stories are written slowly, in the quiet in-between moments, in hallways between classes, in years spent growing apart and finding your way back. Ethan and Erika’s Maui venue wedding at Gather wasn’t just a celebration of their love; it was the culmination of years of resilience, faith, and choosing each other, again and again.

They’d known each other almost forever. He was the boy with the crush in middle school; she was the girl kind enough to let him down softly. Life sent them on parallel paths, dating on and off, missing each other by just enough time, until, in 2016, everything finally aligned. They found their rhythm, and the rest, as they say, was inevitable! Keep reading to see more of their big day!

Maui Venue Wedding

It Was Always You

But first, here is a little history of their love story. During his final semester of law school, Ethan survived a devastating car accident that left him hospitalized for 69 days. For weeks, Erika fed him by hand, sat by his side, and reminded him what hope felt like. He was determined to walk again, and more importantly, to kneel! When he finally did, it was in front of Erika, during what she thought was a Christmas photo session. With her grandmother’s ring in his hand, he asked her to marry him. And she, through tears and laughter, told him to stand up before he hurt his knee again! Their day was proof of something simple and true: love doesn’t just survive hard things. It shines brighter because of them.

Their Maui wedding at Gather felt like a sacred moment of beauty after so much perseverance. The ceremony was intimate, surrounded by their closest friends and family, framed by sweeping ocean views and bright morning light. Their vows were filled with gratitude, for second chances, for healing, and for love that endures.

Their Maui venue wedding morning felt like the perfect reflection of that journey, bright, bold, and beautifully alive. The ceremony was intimate, filled with laughter, tears, and the unwavering support of their closest family and friends. When they exchanged vows, there was this sense, quiet but powerful, that everyone there was witnessing the beginning of their next chapter.

Afterward, Ethan and Erika headed to the beach, where their newlywed portraits captured that unmistakable Maui glow. The colors were vibrant, turquoise water, golden sand, and the bright tones of morning light. She looked radiant in her flowing gown, barefoot in the sand, while his smile was just as bright as the sunshine. We can’t think of a better way to start a day than marrying the love of your life!

It was a morning that felt like a beginning, not just of marriage, but of a lifetime they fought hard to reach. A reminder that love, when tested, becomes something unbreakable. Congratulations to you both!

Sweet Beginnings – Michael & Meghan’s Maui Venue Wedding

Some love stories feel like they were always meant to circle back home. For Meghan, born and raised on Maui, there was never a doubt; this island was where she’d say “I do.” And when she and Michael planned their Maui venue wedding at Gather, it wasn’t just about the view (though let’s be honest,

Some weddings feel like a celebration of not just love, but of life. Tom and Rose’s Maui venue wedding at Gather was exactly that: relaxed, joyful, and full of warmth. The evening glowed, and it was clear that two people clearly found home in each other.

Tom, a construction estimator and branch manager, and Rose, a scheduler for Kaiser Permanente, met the way great stories often begin, through friends, at a country concert in 2019. Sparks flew somewhere between the music and the laughter, and a friendship turned into something much deeper. Four and a half years later, surrounded by their daughters on a trip to Oahu, Tom proposed the start of a new chapter built on love, family, and shared adventures.When their wedding day finally came, we couldn’t have been happier to help bring it all together and capture the magic!

Quiet & Intimate

Their wedding at Gather reflected exactly who they are: relaxed, simple, and fun. Maui has always been their favorite island, and the venue’s ocean views, golden light, and gentle breeze made it feel like a dream. Friends and family watched on as they exchanged their vows. You could feel how loved they are, how much support surrounded them as they said “I do.” They had the most stunning arch with tropical flowers that truly made the moment even more beautiful…

After the ceremony, Tom and Rose slipped away with our photographer for a few quiet moments by the ocean. The newlywed portraits were stunning, soft sunlight wrapping around them, the Pacific stretching out endlessly behind. Rose looked radiant in her gown, her joy impossible to miss. Tom couldn’t stop smiling at his beautiful bride! Together, they looked like everything this place represents: peaceful, grounded, and full of life.

Sunkissed

As the evening unfolded, Maui treated everyone to one of those sunsets that felt almost unreal. The sky turned molten gold, the kind of light that wraps everything it touches in warmth. Tom and Rose’s portraits were drenched in that glow, soft, golden, and full of life. You could see the shimmer of the ocean behind them, the light dancing on the sand as they were framed against the horizon. Every photo felt like it carried a piece of that Maui magic. Their smiles brighter, their love illuminated in a way only the island can do!

Congratulations, Tom and Rose! Your day was such a beautiful reflection of your love, full of laughter, golden light, and the people who mean the most to you. From the heartfelt ceremony to those glowing sunset portraits, every moment felt joyful and true. We’re so happy for you both and wish you a lifetime of adventures, family, and sunshine wherever you go next!

Some weddings feel like the perfect punctuation mark to a long and beautiful story, and Belen and Nicholas’ Maui venue wedding was exactly that.

Ready for a heartwarming Maui venue wedding? Some love stories begin quietly; others begin with a playful warning, like your uncle telling you not to date one of his soccer players. Christina didn’t exactly follow that advice… and thank goodness she didn’t! Because that player was Giovanny, the man who would become her partner, her best friend, and eventually, her husband.

Their story began in Orange County, where Christina first spotted Giovanny at her cousin’s soccer game. She thought he was cute (because, of course), reached out, and asked him out. Eleven years later, after a haunted ship date on the Queen Mary, endless laughter, a pandemic, and raising their beautiful daughter Rosaly, they said “I do” in paradise!

What We Dreamed Of

Their Maui venue wedding at Gather felt like the perfect reflection of their love, bright, joyful, and grounded in shared history. You could feel their happiness, that deep, peaceful kind that comes from growing together through every season of life.

The beach has always been Christina’s happy place. Standing barefoot beside Giovanny, the man who has made her feel safe and seen for over a decade, fulfilled her dream. The moment felt simple and heartfelt, overflowing with the pure joy of being exactly where they were meant to be.

A Family Affair

Their Maui wedding at Gather was everything they dreamed of! Their ceremony was radiant, relaxed, and full of people who had loved and supported them through every chapter. Family and friends flew across the ocean to be part of their day, and you could feel that love everywhere. There was laughter between vows and the kind of joy that only comes when you’re surrounded by the people who helped shape your journey.

And of course, their flower girl was their five-year-old daughter, Rosaly, the light of their lives. Christina and Giovanny’s connection is built on shared adventures, music, and mutual respect. It’s a blend of her lively spirit and his calm presence. Together, they’ve built a life full of movement, laughter, and family. And their wedding felt like the perfect reflection of that balance.

And next up: beach portraits because this spot is what they both were really waiting for! We couldn’t help but be moved by how natural and easy their connection felt. Their beach portraits were full of laughter, quiet looks, and those unspoken moments that say everything.

Christina and Giovanny remind us that love doesn’t have to be perfect to be beautiful. It just has to be real. And on that golden Maui evening, surrounded by ocean air and family love, theirs couldn’t have been more perfect. Their dream of a Hawaii wedding came true and couldn’t have been more perfect!

A Maui beach wedding has its own kind of magic, golden light, soft waves, and the feeling that time has slowed down just for you. For Brett and Emily, their Southside Beach wedding was everything they’d dreamed of: romantic, joyful, and filled with meaning from start to finish.

Their love story began on Hinge, a modern swipe that turned into something extraordinary. During their early days together, Emily was facing a family crisis, and Brett’s empathy and unwavering kindness shone through immediately. He became her rock, the calm in the storm, and over time, her forever. When he proposed in July 2024 in front of the Mendenhall Glacier in Juneau, Alaska, it felt like the perfect next chapter. We were beyond thrilled to bring their vision for their vows to life!

Brett, a civil engineer and drummer, brings structure and rhythm to everything he does. Emily, an interior designer who specializes in 3D renderings, has an eye for beauty and detail. Together, they create balance, his steady meets her creative, his logic meets her spark. This trip to Maui was extra special: Brett’s second visit, but Emily’s first, a dream come true for someone who’s always loved all things tropical.

Their Maui beach wedding reflected that love for simplicity and sunshine. No elaborate staging, no overdone details, just genuine emotion with their loved ones present. Emily looked radiant in the Maui light, her gown soft and graceful, while Brett watched her with the quiet awe of a man who knows exactly how lucky he is.

Newlywed Perfection

After their vows, the newlywed portraits were pure perfection. The Maui sun wrapped them in gold, reflecting off the water and turning every frame into something timeless. You can see it in the way they look at each other. Emily was glowing with happiness, Brett’s smile calm and certain. The laughter, the soft kisses, the way their hands always found each other, it all felt effortless and completely real.

That’s the beauty of timeless Maui wedding photography: nothing posed, nothing forced. Just love, light, and the kind of connection that only grows stronger with time.

Airy & Dreamy

Their Maui beach wedding newlywed photos are absolutely breathtaking, the kind that make you believe in love stories that belong on a postcard.

Every image feels alive with that signature Maui warmth, soft light, shimmering water, and an undeniable sense of romance. The way the couple moves together feels so natural, like the island itself is part of their rhythm. Her gown, all lace and flow, catches the sunlight like sea foam while his sand-colored suit ties it all together in the most timeless, tropical way.

What stands out most is the ease between them, their laughter, the way he pulls her close, the way she looks up at him like there’s no one else in the world. You can almost hear the ocean behind them, the gentle rush of waves echoing their joy.

The photos where they step into the surf are pure magic. There’s something so spontaneous, so joyfully them about it, not caring about the water or the sand, just living in the moment. That splash of saltwater, the soft breeze through her hair, his kiss on her shoulder, those details turn this collection from simply beautiful to unforgettable.

Sunset Simplicity – Akasha & Enis’ Maui Elopement

Eloping in Maui is kind of like nature celebrating right along with you. And Akasha and Enis’ Maui elopement was just that, barefoot in the sand, surrounded by nothing but ocean breeze, golden light, and the people who matter most. Their elopement at Po’olenalena Beach was a quiet kind of breathtaking. No stress, no dramatic

[...]

Mike and Lindsey’s Maui elopement was the definition of timeless romance, soft, serene, and filled with the kind of quiet joy that only comes when two people know they’ve found their forever. Their story began a decade ago at The Capital Grille, a casual encounter that slowly became the foundation of a life built together. Last summer, on a sailboat in Kennebunkport, Maine, Mike proposed, a moment as cinematic as it was heartfelt.

Fast-forward to Maui, where their elopement unfolded against the golden glow of Southside Beach. The ocean stretched endlessly behind them, waves rolling in rhythm with their vows. It was intimate and uncomplicated, focused on what mattered most: their love, their promises, and the life they’ve built with their two children. Retired and free to travel, Mike and Lindsey chose to celebrate in the most fitting way, by living fully, savoring the now, and sealing it with a kiss by the shore…Keep reading to see more of their amazing day!

Time Stood Still

Mike and Lindsey’s Maui elopement was a love story distilled down to its purest form, just the two of them, standing barefoot in the sand at Southside Beach, promising forever. No audience, no distractions. Just the sound of waves and the golden Maui sun as witnesses. It was simple, serene, and impossibly romantic, the kind of moment that reminds you what weddings are truly about! The love between two people meant for one another…

The photos capture it all: Lindsey glowing in lace, Mike’s soft smile, and the quiet reverence in their eyes as they exchanged vows without anyone else around. There was something deeply powerful in the simplicity, the two of them, side by side, choosing each other again and again. It was as if the whole island leaned in to listen.

From tender embraces on the balcony to playful kisses on the beach, every image tells the story of a couple who not only love each other but also know how to live fully, laugh often, and savor every chapter together.

Some weddings feel like the perfect punctuation mark to a long and beautiful story, and Belen and Nicholas’ Maui venue wedding was exactly that. Their love story began in middle school as friends, deepened in high school, and carried them through undergrad, graduate school, and into their adult lives. Something clearly had a hand in just how intertwined their lives would be. After 12 years together, they chose August 17th—their anniversary date—to say “I do” in the place that has always brought them peace and joy: Maui.

Nicholas proposed in London on December 22, 2022, a romantic holiday surprise that marked the start of this next chapter. And when their wedding day arrived at Gather, it was nothing short of lovely…

The day began with a brief but sweet first look, a quiet pause before the celebration. In that moment, all the years they had spent together, every milestone, every adventure, every challenge, seemed to come full circle. Then, surrounded by family and friends, they exchanged vows beneath the Hawaiian sky. The setting was simple, elegant, and perfect: love was the true centerpiece, and the joy on every face said it all…

Surrounded By Love

At Gather, the ceremony felt both intimate and elegant. The lush lawn stretched out under the Hawaiian sun, and the atmosphere was filled with the warmth of family and friends who had traveled to celebrate them. The air buzzed with anticipation as guests watched the two of them meet at the altar.

What made it so moving was how personal it felt. Every look, every smile between Belen and Nicholas reflected their story, middle school friends who had grown up side by side, through undergrad, grad school, and into their careers, now standing together to promise forever. Their vows were tender and heartfelt, filled with gratitude for the journey that had brought them here and excitement for the one that lay ahead.

After the ceremony, the magic continued. They slipped away to Southside beach for newlywed portraits, and Maui delivered everything: golden sunlight, gentle waves, and a backdrop that looked almost too perfect to be real. Let’s be honest, though – Maui always delivers! Their portraits glowed with elegance, capturing both the grandeur of the setting and the intimacy of their love.

It was relaxed, heartfelt, and radiant, everything they had hoped for!

More Than A Dream – Makayla & Hunter’s Maui Elopement

Some love stories are sweet and slow and simmer over time, like Makayla and Hunter’s. These two met through mutual friends over five years ago, officially became a couple a few months later, and have basically been each other’s favorite adventure buddies ever since…which leads us to their Maui elopement! After a magical Disneyland proposal

Okay, but what’s better than a love story that starts with growing up in the same town and ends with saying I do in paradise? Not much. Enter: Emily and Jake.

These two have basically been orbiting each other since middle school, same class, same hometown, same friend circles. But it wasn’t until college, with a little help from mutual friends again (we love the consistency), that things shifted. Sparks flew. Coffee dates happened. By 2018, they were officially them.

Fast forward a few years, one cozy little house together, and a hike through the park near that very first home, where Jake got down on one knee in May 2024. It was just the two of them. Quiet, intentional, perfect. When it came to planning their wedding, they wanted their big day to be just as perfect too…

So when it came time to plan a wedding, they wanted something just as meaningful. Cue: Maui. And not just any spot on the island, Emily and Jake tied the knot at Gather Maui, surrounded by their closest friends and family, the breeze off the ocean, and a whole lot of love.

Everything about their day felt intimate and personal. From the warm ceremony with tropical touches to the way the light danced on Emily’s dress as they said their vows, it was basically a Pinterest board come to life, but better, because it was them.

Jeff and Jade’s Maui vow renewal was like something out of a movie, if that movie involved a dreamy beach, a flower circle bursting with color, and two sweet boys in matching suits.

They originally got engaged atop a snowy mountain in Park City (cue cozy scarves and misty breath), but twenty years later? They traded in the snow for golden sunshine and waves crashing at their feet. And honestly, we support the upgrade.

Polo Beach held a special kind of magic for these two; it’s where they wandered hand in hand when Jade was pregnant with Jonas, and where they returned two years ago while staying at the Grand Wailea. So when they decided to renew their vows, there was really no other place that felt quite as them.

Their sons, Jonas (12) and Jack (6), brought their own kind of magic to the day, full of curiosity, barefoot confidence, and just the right amount of mischief. Dressed in cream suits, they looked like mini groomsmen straight out of a Ralph Lauren ad.

maui vow renewal

The Life We Created

Jade, luminous in her gown, stood with Jeff in the middle of a vibrant tropical flower circle. As the sun dipped behind the horizon, casting warm peach and coral across the sky, they promised each other forever all over again.

They work hard, Jade in business development, Jeff in finance, but their kids are their why. This vow renewal was a love letter to the life they’ve built: full of devotion, travel, and the kind of slow, meaningful moments you wish you could bottle up.

Oh, the sunset. Maui clearly understood the assignment. The sky melted into sherbet hues, rose gold, tangerine, soft lavender, wrapping Jeff and Jade in the kind of light that makes photographers weep. Their portraits glowed with something more than color: a deep, quiet knowing. The way they looked at each other? You could tell they’d weathered storms and celebrated sunshine together.

And that’s the beauty of a vow renewal. It’s not just a re-do. It’s a recommitment. A pause. A “Hey, I still choose you—every day, through every season.” It’s proof that love doesn’t just survive the everyday chaos. It thrives in it.

Barefoot Beginnings – Lauren & Josef’s Maui Beach Wedding

There’s something deeply poetic about meeting someone in the middle of your story.

And Lauren, born and raised in a quiet southern Minnesota town, had already braved the front lines

Some love stories take a few unexpected detours before landing in just the right place. For Kassidy & Ryan, that place was their beautiful, sun-soaked Maui venue wedding at Gather Maui, simple, beautiful, and full of heart.

A couple of years ago, Ryan had originally planned to propose after a snowboarding trip in the mountains. The plan? Hit the slopes, have an epic day. Little did she know what was around the corner! A week later, on Valentine’s Day, Ryan asked her to marry him. Totally worth the wait.

Fast forward to Maui, where their wedding day unfolded exactly how they dreamed: carefree, flexible, and full of joy. Surrounded by family, including their three daughters (ages 13, 6, and 1), and even their dog S’mores in spirit, Kassidy and Ryan said “I do” beneath swaying palms and clear blue skies. It was a gorgeous day, as you’ll see below!

The setting at Gather Maui was stunning, the ocean in the distance, a floral arch framing every photo, and their closest loved ones sharing in every sweet, happy moment. It was simple and intimate, but deeply meaningful, the kind of day when you could just feel the love radiating in every direction.

After everything they’ve built together, raising kids, building a home, balancing careers (from Comcast to relocation services), and finding joy in life’s everyday adventures, this day felt like the perfect celebration of their story!

With their kiddos by their sides (and arms!), they shared so many joyful moments. These weren’t just wedding portraits; they were full-on family moments, and you could feel the love in every frame. What a beautiful family!

Golden Beauty

And then came the sunset after they said “I, do!” As the day shifted into evening, Maui did what Maui does best: the sky lit up in soft pinks, peaches, and golden tones that seemed designed just for them. Their sunset portraits were pure magic: Kassidy’s dress catching the breeze, Ryan holding her hand as they laughed and twirled, the two of them completely lost in their just-married glow. Every frame was soft, romantic, and full of that golden warmth you dream of when you picture a Hawaii wedding.

Congratulations, Kassidy and Ryan! Your Maui wedding was not only beautiful, it was filled with the kind of love that makes every photo a memory to cherish!

A Maui venue wedding was the perfect setting for Reese and Logan. They are high school sweethearts, born-and-raised Alaskans, and quite possibly the most down-to-earth (but also photogenic!) couple we’ve ever met. Instead of a single day of celebration, these two opted for a wedding week in paradise with their closest loved ones. Because honestly, why limit the joy?

Logan is about to start medical school in July 2025, but first, he’s getting hands-on experience working at a hospital. Reese, meanwhile, is still in college and dreaming big; she’s two years away from a marketing degree and has her heart set on opening a coffee shop someday. With big dreams, they will forever be by one another’s side…

Their ceremony at Gather Maui was full of love and sweet, quiet emotion. Reese walked in looking absolutely stunning, and Logan? That huge, heartfelt smile when he saw her said it all. With the ocean breeze and their favorite people all around, they exchanged vows and officially started their forever.

And then… the beach. The lighting. The most golden newlywed portraits you’ve ever seen. They soaked it all in, laughing, holding hands, and making memories that felt as warm as the Hawaiian sunset.

The light was golden and soft, the sky blushing just the right amount. Maui knows romance, and these enchanting portraits say it all. Their portraits felt effortless, dreamy, and so them. You could see the joy in their face, just married, just glowing, just completely wrapped up in the moment. It was their moment…their moment to pause and simply be husband and wife for the very first time…

Barefoot Beginnings – Lauren & Josef’s Maui Beach Wedding

There’s something deeply poetic about meeting someone in the middle of your story. Josef had already zigzagged across the country, from sunny Orlando to the mountains of Asheville, from Texas heat to Minnesota chill, before he met Lauren. And Lauren, born and raised in a quiet southern Minnesota town, had already braved the front lines

Chris and Kaylee’s Maui venue wedding was a rom-com in the making, with extra sunshine, a dash of island breeze, and one very happy couple starring as themselves. Let’s start at the beginning: picture a nursing student and a future math teacher crossing paths in their college tutoring center. (Tell us that isn’t the beginning of a love story written in meet-cute heaven.) And spoiler alert: it only gets better from there.

Fast forward a little, Kaylee is now a newly minted RN ready to conquer the telemetry department, and Chris is juggling teaching dreams with Home Depot shifts. Their idea of a perfect date? Casual walks, little everyday adventures, and curling up with movies. Honestly, relationship goals.

One day, they saw a TikTok asking couples their dream vacation spot. Both immediately answered: Hawaii. And just like that, the seed was planted. Why not turn their wedding into a tropical dream, too? Cue their decision to skip the typical wedding stress and say “aloha” to a Maui destination wedding! Chris’s look when he sees Kaylee for the first time says it all!

A Dream Come True

Neither Chris nor Kaylee had been to Hawaii before; Chris hadn’t even left his home state! But when the big day arrived, they were all in: glowing, beaming, and ready to start forever under the island sun. Their wedding was simple, stunning, and full of genuine joy. They said “I do,” surrounded by tropical blooms and warm ocean air, with just enough breeze to make Kaylee’s veil flutter.

Every smile, every glance, every soft sunset hue told the story of two people who made the leap together. From tutoring center coworkers to island newlyweds, this Maui wedding was exactly the kind of magic they’d dreamed up together.

After their Maui venue wedding ceremony, we snuck away to the beach for their newlywed portraits, and let us just say: sunset on the Maui coastline knows how to do its thing. The sky lit up with soft pastels and golden rays, the waves hummed in the background, and these two just radiated joy. It was so beautiful that it felt cinematic but also totally real.

Chris and Kaylee’s wedding was sweet, simple, and full of meaning—exactly what they wanted. From happy tears at the altar to laughter by the waves, their day was a perfect reflection of their love: warm, genuine, and beautiful.
