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.
And the beach portraits after? Chef’s kiss. The lighting was golden and soft, wrapping around them like a little Maui blessing from the sun gods themselves. The kind of light that makes you feel like you’re watching the beginning of forever. (Because you are.)
Congratulations, Emily and Jake, you pulled off something so beautiful, so true to who you are. A love story years in the making, sealed with a kiss… and a sunset.

Karlee and Dennis couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day for their Maui beach wedding! The sky was a brilliant blue, the weather was sunny and just right, and the turquoise waters sparkled in the distance at beautiful Ironwood Beach. Nestled between rugged cliffs with epic views, this stunning location was the ideal backdrop

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.
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.
Congratulations, you two! Here’s to 20 more years! It was an honor to coordinate this special day for you. Enjoy Maui with your boys!

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!
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…
Congratulations, Reese and Logan! Your love story is already golden, and we’re so lucky we got to capture the first chapter! Good luck with all your dreams together!

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!
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.
Congrats, lovebirds. May the rest of your story be just as golden! Enjoy your time in Hawaii! Aloha!

If there’s one thing we know, it’s that love can transform any moment into something unforgettable. And Christopher and Clare’s Maui elopement? It was just that and more!

Maui elopements always have that certain something, maybe it’s the salty breeze, the golden light, or the way the waves roll in steadily. But Mackenzie and Devin’s elopement at Southside Beach? It felt like the island had been waiting just for them.
Let’s rewind for a second. Back in 2016, Mackenzie visited Maui with her family and fell head over heels for the island, not a guy. That part came a little later. Actually, only days before her trip, she met Devin at a party. Their first meeting was fleeting and didn’t involve trading numbers, but fate (being the relentless matchmaker she is) brought them together again six months later under a starlit sky at another party. That night? Instant connection. Cue the montage of them moving in together in 2020, adopting the world’s best senior cat, and navigating life hand-in-hand.
So when Devin proposed in 2022, surprising Mackenzie at home right before a trip she was sure would include a ring, it wasn’t just romantic, it was strategic. He wanted the entire vacation to be a celebration, not a countdown. And now, after a couple of postponed dates, the stars aligned for them to get married on their 8th dating anniversary!
Their Maui elopement was every bit the quiet, intimate moment they had dreamed of. Southside Beach, with its soft sands and painterly sunset skies, was the perfect backdrop. The ocean sparkled, and the light was so flattering. Mackenzie looked radiant, and Devin couldn’t take his eyes off her. It was private, beautiful, and oh-so-them.
The lighting at Southside Beach did that magical thing it does, turning soft and golden just as Mackenzie and Devin said, “I do.” It was like the sun had RSVP’d to their wedding and decided to show off a little. Every frame was filled with the quiet romance that defined their day, no grand gestures or staged moments, just real, unfiltered joy between two people who knew this was exactly where they were meant to be.
Congratulations to these two beautiful souls. Here’s to forever and maybe another cat or two! It was an honor to be a part of your special day!

There are sunsets… and then there are Maui sunsets. And for Ron and Meghan, their Maui beach wedding was exactly that, sunset included, RSVP’d, and glowing with approval.
Set against the natural beauty of Southside Beach, their intimate ceremony had all the makings of a scene from a romance novel. You know, the kind where the ocean sparkles like a supporting character and the sun is golden. Meghan, radiant and graceful, was escorted down the shoreline by her daughters, who looked proud and so happy for her. It was the kind of moment that felt suspended in time, with waves lapping quietly in agreement…
Maui has this special way of making everything feel more personal. Maybe it’s the way the golden light wraps around you like a soft hug, or how the island’s natural beauty makes everything else fade away except the people right in front of you. No arches needed. No elaborate decor. Just the sand, the sea, and the promise of forever.
Ron stood waiting with a look that said a thousand things, most of them sounding like “wow.” Their ceremony was simple, meaningful, and full of emotion, the kind of wedding that makes you forget anyone else is on the planet.
After vows were exchanged, they stayed to soak in the pastel sky as the sun slipped below the horizon, painting their wedding in golden-pink perfection. It was the most fitting ending to their day, quiet, breathtaking, and entirely about the two of them.
Congratulations, Ron and Meghan! Your Maui beach wedding was a reminder that sometimes the most intimate moments shine the brightest!

There’s something universally magical about witnessing two people say “I do,” and Chad and Janet’s Maui venue wedding was the kind of love story that leaves your heart smiling for days. At Gather in Maui, surrounded by ocean breeze and golden light, their celebration unfolded with simplicity, elegance, and a whole lot of heart.
Let’s start with Janet, shall we? Because wow. She made her entrance like a scene straight out of a romance film. Radiant in her gown with a sweeping veil that floated like mist behind her, she walked with poise, grace, and just the right amount of joy peeking through every step. And Chad, standing under a beautifully adorned arch, set perfectly against the tropical backdrop, looked both awestruck and completely at peace as he watched his stunning bride come toward him. (Honestly, we’ll never get tired of that moment!)
We love weddings of all shapes and sizes, but there’s something special about the ones that keep things simple and true to the couple. That’s exactly what this was. A heartfelt ceremony, filled with sweet glances, personal vows, and a palpable sense of “this is right.” The venue itself, Gather, was the perfect setting for this kind of day. With its modern island vibe, lush landscaping, and proximity to the ocean, it offered the best of both worlds: an intimate atmosphere and an epic backdrop.
After sealing their vows with a kiss, Chad and Janet snuck away to Southside Beach for their newlywed portraits. And oh, the sunset, Maui did not hold back! The sky painted itself in soft pinks, warm golds, and the kind of glowy light that photographers dream about. We couldn’t stop clicking the shutter as they strolled barefoot through the sand, stealing kisses and laughing like they were the only two people in the world. Aren’t they just gorgeous? That veil, that light, that sparkle, that look! We are here for all of it!
Congratulations, Chad and Janet! Thank you for letting us be a part of your effortlessly beautiful celebration. May the decades ahead be full of love and light! We send you all the blessings and lots of aloha!

Steve and Sydney’s Maui venue wedding was the definition of effortless beauty, simple, thoughtful, and full of the kind of joy that you can’t fake. Their celebration at Gather in Maui perfectly captured everything they wanted their big day to be: relaxed, elegant, and surrounded by the natural beauty of the island they love.
From the very beginning, their vision was all about keeping things easy and meaningful. Nothing too over-the-top—just well-curated, cozy, and intentional. And that’s exactly how it felt. With soft ocean breezes and a backdrop that looked like a postcard, Sydney and Steve had the most incredible day.
Sydney looked absolutely stunning in her cream gown, timeless and elegant with a modern, easy grace that suited her perfectly. Steve looked equally handsome and relaxed, the kind of groom who was clearly just thrilled to be marrying his best friend. Together, they radiated warmth, love, and that laid-back magic Maui does so well. Our photographer had the pleasure of capturing them before the ceremony; the excitement and joy were palpable!
Their Maui venue wedding ceremony was sweet and sincere, set against the lush, breezy setting at Gather. They said “I do” surrounded by beauty and love. It was everything they hoped for and felt like a total dream come true. That’s why we love what we do so much; love stories like Steve and Sydney!
That golden-hour walk along the shoreline? Pure magic. They laughed, they strolled barefoot in the sand, and they soaked in every second together. It was so simple, and so lovely, exactly the kind of moment that makes a wedding unforgettable.
Congratulations, Steve and Sydney! Your day was everything it needed to be, beautiful, meaningful, and totally you. We loved every second of it.

Let’s set the scene: Southside Beach, the waves rolling in like applause, a warm breeze doing that swooshy thing through palm trees, and Kevin and Tracy standing barefoot in the sand, completely and utterly in love. And surrounding them? Their six amazing kids—grinning, cheering, and fully embracing the aloha vibes.
This wasn’t just a Maui beach wedding. This was the moment—a celebration that felt like a deep exhale, a “we made it” wrapped in sunlight. Kevin and Tracy wanted something special, something true to their story. And with their family by their side and Maui’s magic in the air, they had exactly that.
Everything about the day felt meaningful. Family-oriented and heartfelt in the best, most real way. Sweet glances between Kevin and Tracy. The kids playing in the sand between portraits. Laughter echoing over the shoreline. It was love, loud and joyous and full of life!
There were tender moments—Tracy wiping a tear as she looked at her husband-to-be, Kevin smiling so wide it looked like he might float. But there was also so much fun. They let loose. They laughed. And they soaked in the Maui sunset like they knew this day would live in their hearts forever. It was a family-orientated celebration that was so meaningful that you could feel it in their warmth and their smiles.
And let’s talk about the lighting—gorgeous. The beach, the breeze, the golden glow… every photo looked like a postcard from paradise. It was intimate and elegant all at once!
Kevin and Tracy’s Southside Beach wedding was a radiant reminder that love isn’t just about two people—it’s about the family you create, the joy you share, and the magic of being together in the moment. Truly the most amazing day!

Maika and Yusuke’s Maui venue wedding day at Wailea Beach Resort was a glorious celebration of love, laughter, and new beginnings.

Some love stories don’t need ballrooms or big crowds—just a beach, a breeze, and the right person.
—and Evan and Amber’s Maui beach wedding was the perfect mix of romance, laughter, and sunshine-soaked simplicity.
Evan, a delivery driver with a passion for photography, and Amber, a Sunglass Hut manager with a serious knack for style, knew from the beginning that they didn’t want a big, elaborate wedding. Nope. This was going to be about what mattered most: each other, a few close loved ones, and a view that made their hearts skip a beat.
So when it came time to choose a location, the answer was easy: Maui. A place they had never visited together, but one that promised warmth, beauty, and just a hint of adventure. (Which, let’s be real, is exactly their vibe as you’ll see!)
Their ceremony took place at Southside Beach, one of those “pinch-me-is-this-real” kind of locations. With soft sand, glowing light, it felt like the island itself was blessing their day.
Amber looked absolutely radiant. The breeze picked up just enough to make everything feel soft and romantic, like something out of a dream. Evan, beaming with happiness, couldn’t take his eyes off her.
And the best part? It was so them. Relaxed, full of love, and beautifully un-fussy.
Their guests—just a few family and friends—were all smiles as they watched Amber and Evan exchange heartfelt vows. It was the kind of ceremony where you could feel the meaning in every word. It was all they hoped for and more!
Amber had already said yes once—on a beach in Lincoln City, Oregon during her birthday weekend, where Evan proposed in the most thoughtful, genuine way. And now, here they were, on another beach (a little sunnier this time!), sealing the deal and beginning a new chapter in their favorite way—together.
The photos from their Maui beach wedding say it all. Light, love, and so much laughter. You can see how much they adore each other in every glance, every hand-hold, every joyful step down the beach. It was simple. It was meaningful. And it was absolutely beautiful.
Afterward, they strolled along the shore, letting the waves kiss their feet and the moment soak in. First trip to Maui: a glowing, golden success. And you bet she brought the shades! How cute are they?!
We’re so honored to have captured your beautiful day. Your Maui beach wedding was proof that intimate, simple weddings can be just as magical—if not more so—than the biggest ballroom bash. We hope you carry the joy of this day into every new adventure, every hike, every photo, and every beach you walk together.

Some love stories start with sparks. Evelyn and Benjamin started with playdates. Yep—these two grew up together, their families intertwined long before romance ever entered the picture. So when they decided to tie the knot, a venue wedding in Maui felt like the perfect fit. It was relaxed, beautiful, and filled with meaning—just like their relationship.
They chose Gather On Maui, a serene Maui wedding venue nestled in Wailea with panoramic views that make your heart do somersaults. With white chairs arranged on soft grass and palm trees gently swaying, it felt like a warm invitation from the island itself.
Evelyn walked down the aisle with her mom, radiant in a sleek white gown and holding a gorgeous tropical bouquet. Benjamin waited up front, his eyes locked on her, a quiet smile on his face that said everything.
Their Hawaiian officiant, Reverend Kuya, brought such warmth, opening the ceremony with a traditional conch shell and a joyful spirit. The couple exchanged leis, rings, and quiet smiles that said this is exactly right.
The ceremony was short, sweet, and full of meaning—just like their decision to have a destination wedding in paradise. No big buildup, no dramatic proposal. Just two people who knew, without a doubt, that this was forever.
Before the rings, before the kiss, there was this quiet, meaningful moment: the lei exchange. Evelyn placed a green ti leaf lei around Benjamin’s neck—symbolizing strength, respect, and deep-rooted love. In return, he gave her a delicate white orchid lei, soft and graceful, just like her. No words were needed. Just smiles, steady hands, and the kind of eye contact that says I choose you, always.
Surrounded by bougainvillea bursting with color, Evelyn and Benjamin looked like they’d walked right out of a love story.
After the kiss (which, yes, was adorable), Evelyn and Benjamin were surrounded by cheers, flower petals, and so much love. Their friends and family radiated joy—it was the kind of moment that fills a camera roll and a heart.
Then came White Rock Beach—barefoot, hand in hand, the two of them wrapped in golden light. The sky shifted to soft pinks and golds, like the island itself was quietly cheering them on.
Evelyn wasn’t just glowing—she was radiating. Like the sun had made a deal with the ocean just to spotlight her. Her gown was sleek and elegant, perfectly her. The veil floated like a whisper. And that bouquet? A tropical dream. But the real showstopper was her expression—soft, steady, and full of heart. She looked like someone who knew exactly what she was walking toward… and couldn’t wait to get there.
As the sun dipped behind the ocean, Evelyn and Benjamin wandered barefoot along White Rock Beach like it was the most natural thing in the world. Her train trailed behind her. His hand never left hers. They didn’t need music or a grand finale—just the sound of the waves, a sky blushing gold, and the soft kind of laughter that only happens when you’re wildly, completely in love. It wasn’t flashy. It was them. And honestly? It was perfect.
Evelyn and Benjamin, thank you for trusting us with your love story. Planning your venue wedding in Maui was such an honor, and seeing your day unfold with ease and beauty filled our hearts. Here’s to mountain adventures, river days, and all the beautiful chapters still to come.
