Vishi & Jason’s Maui elopement photography captured a wedding oasis, just the swelling tides, the leggy palms, our loving couple… and an unexpected guest! Let’s just say that the golden shore wasn’t the only thing soaking in the sun…

Often depicted in ancient petroglyphs, the honu (Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle) is regarded as an amakua (guardian spirit) and symbolizes endurance, good luck, and long life. What an auspicious guest to bear witness to their ceremony!

As you’re swiping, keep an eye out for all the turtle-riffic photobombs!

Vishi & Jason originally planned on eloping in California and hopping over to the island for their honeymoon. But with their families’ support and blessing, they chose to wrap it all together with a beautiful Maui Beach Wedding Package.

Vishi & Jason are the definition of a jet-setting couple. They arrived in Maui at 10:30 AM via a direct flight from Sacramento… on the day of their wedding!

And that’s really what makes a Hawaii beach elopement so unbeatable! Without large parties to plan for or additional details to take care of, a Maui elopement is perfectly suited for the flexible couple who loves beautiful island-style simplicity. We take care of everything, you only need to arrive to the locale and relish in your special day!

And with just one glance at their clasped hands and radiant expressions, we know that this love will last a lifetime…

Mahalo, Vishi & Jason, for choosing Simple Maui Wedding to plan your Maui beach elopement. We wish you all the very best in the years ahead…

The charming Maui vow renewal of Debra & Brandon was all sunshine and smiles! Married for 13 years, this beautiful couple celebrated their relationship on the Maui coast with just family and their adorable little ones watching on.

The powder-soft sands of Southside beach set the stage for the quaint affair, and Reverend Richardo began the ceremony by trumpeting on the Hawaiian conch shell while the children delighted in the deep and awe-inspiring sound.

We adored capturing the sincere and endearing love shared between this couple! Together since they were sixteen, their affection stole the stage. Even in the little moments, Debra and Brandon were bubbling with smiles.

They were so excited to renew their vows, that it was almost as if they were getting married for the very first time!

And can we just pause a second to say how floored we were with this entire family’s sense of style? How on-point can one family be? Classic trousers and suspenders for the guys, a whimsical floral dress for sis, and a mid-drift revealing bohemian gown for mom. We are totally fawning!

Precious beyond belief, these two sibs were more than happy to strike some Maui beach wedding poses against the ocean backdrop. And boy did they bring it!

Speaking of kiddos, can a group shot get much cuter? Like mini-me’s of their parents, this entourage had all the glam and sweetness of the wedding party, only jam-packed into five little packages of joy!

And to cap it all off, the ceremony ended with a sunset of lavender blush…

Mahalo, Debra & Brandon, for trusting Simple Maui Wedding with your Maui vow renewal. Sending you our fondest Aloha for the years ahead…

It was endless blue skies and cool tropical breezes for this Maui beach elopement on Wailea’s Southside shoreline. The night before Beatriz & Giovanni’s special day, a dusting of snow graced the Haleakala summit, anointing the occasion with the heavenly mana of the island…

Hailing from Austin, this joyous couple first bumped wheels at the skatepark–and within moments, their hearts were flipping along with their boards! Four years later, in the warmth of his parent’s loving home, Giovanni asked Beatriz to spend forever with him… and she said yes, of course!

Keep swiping for all the heart-flipping beauty of their Maui beach wedding…

The kindhearted Kahu Richardo Hanako’o officiated the ceremony. And as Giovanni’s mother and father bore witness, a small pod of humpbacks danced across the oceanfront while the couple said: “I do.”

Although it was Giovanni’s parents who were physically present for the union, Beatriz’s family was there in spirit… They rested close to her in precious photo charms laced around her bouquet with ribbons of baby-blue.

Whales, blue skies, and snow… how many auspicious signs can one couple have during their Maui destination wedding? There’s always room for one more!

The ceremony faded into the night with a blissful sunset of soft cherry and lavender, perfectly suited to this couple’s spunky magic.

Mahalo nui loa, Beatriz & Giovanni, for trusting Simple Maui Wedding with your Maui beach elopement! We hope to stay in touch and wish you the warmest Aloha for the years ahead…

It was just the bride and groom for this simple yet elegant Maui Beach Elopement. On the white sands of Southside beach in Wailea, Anh & Josh said “I do” with the pulse of the ocean keeping tempo in the background.

With a romantic Boho inspired gown and a sleek traditional suit, not only is this couple dressed incredibly smart, but they’re book-smart as well! Anh and Josh met in college while pursuing their Doctor of Pharmacy degrees. And it seems that the prescription Fate wrote for them was only four letters long: love.

Together for six years, the couple took a special Thanksgiving trip to the breathtaking Sunset Cliffs in California. As they were overlooking the seascape and plunging cliff-lines, Josh asked Anh to be his wife.

And now, early in the new year, on the breezy Maui shoreline, and in front of an equally stunning seascape, the couple exchanged heartfelt vows before sharing their first kiss as husband and wife.

We love it when couples make use of the various scenery that grows close to the shoreline. And this couple longed for their Maui beach elopement photos to capture their love within the beautiful island landscapes that Southside beach has to offer.

From impish woodsy to a fiery sunset, we were ecstatic to help their portrait dreams come true!

Can we stress yet again how on-point Anh’s bridal style is? Her Boho-inspired gown blends tropical and romance in all the right ways, and when paired against her radiant beauty, this bride is truly showstopping…

And decked in midnight blue with leather Oxfords, Josh is pretty on-point as well!

Mahalo nui loa, Anh & Josh, for trusting us with your intimate Maui beach elopement. We wish you all the best in the years to come!

Ten years into their relationship, Caitlin and Ricky were relaxing on the couch when she turned to him and casually said, “Hey, let’s have a beach wedding in Maui.” Well, actually, she said, “I think we should get married.” It was exactly how Caitlin always imagined it would be, an open and honest conversation where they made the big decision together.

And it was after researching wedding options in their home state of Washington, that the two made another big decision together. They realized they could arrange a family vacation to Hawaii and have a destination wedding in Maui for the same price tag… So, of course, that’s exactly what they did!

As high school sweethearts, Caitlin and Ricky have her brother, Devin, to thank for their union.

Or, as Caitlin so frankly (and hilariously!) puts it: “Devin was annoyed that Ricky started talking to me. So I talked to Ricky to intentionally annoy my brother… and our love grew from there.” Sibling rivalry is truly a magical thing!

There was no shortage of laughs and smiles with this magnetic couple! The deep and honest love that Caitlin and Ricky feel for each other was palpable. It was abundantly clear that this marriage wasn’t just between high school sweethearts… but also between best friends.

Keep scrolling for all of the tenderhearted moments…

Mahalo nui loa, Caitlin & Ricky, for choosing Simple Maui Wedding to plan your shoreside ceremony. We wish you all the friendship and genuine love in the years ahead…

For this breathtaking Maui Elopement, Alice & Matthew said “I do” with the aqua glimmers and tropical greenery of Southside Beach setting the stage. Hailing from Auckland, New Zealand, this was the couple’s first trip to Maui–and what a first it was!

Alice and Matthew embarked on their Hawaiian adventure with a trip to the Big Island. Famous for its lush rainforests, the Big Island receives upwards of 10 feet of rain a year … and this year was no exception. The couple had to extend their stay on the Big Island an additional 24 hours due to the weather and worried their Maui wedding would be greeted with a similar downpour … But their special day was graced with clear skies and enchanting panoramic views!

The tender love between this couple blew us away. From their soft and intimate gazes to the touching moment when Matthew delicately wiped tears from his bride’s cheek … we were absolutely enchanted by their love story.

In graceful simplicity, Alice kept her jewelry to a minimum, wearing only a golden statement necklace to highlight her natural beauty.

Matthew presented her with the stunning piece during their stay on the Big Island … and we think it’s perfectly suited for his bride. The sacred hihimanu (also known as Hawaiian ray) means “magnificent” or “elegant bird” and is used to describe a woman filled with grace and otherworldly beauty. And looking at these captures, it’s abundantly clear that Alice is its picture-perfect embodiment …

Alice and Matthew’s Special Day ended in an exquisite sunset of rose and plum. It’s said that purple symbolizes perfection … and looking at this beautiful couple, we’d have to agree.

Mahalo nui loa, Alice & Matthew for selecting us to help plan your Maui Elopement. We wish you many more perfect days in the years to come!

Together for nearly two decades, Cassandra and Scott flew in from their California hometown for this breezy Maui destination wedding. On the powder-soft sands of Southside Beach and enveloped in an abundance of love, the couple tied the knot in a ceremony that was equal parts tropical-chic and carefree.

We were charmed with how Scott had his bride-to-be laughing throughout the occasion. It was clear that “two decades” was just a ripple in the endless sea of this couple’s love story.

Kahu Euta ordained over the reception, and with his passionate nature, you can always count on smiles paired with deep insights on love, family, and culture.

We loved how Cassandra selected a gown that showcased her spectacular skin-art and accented her graceful shoulders and neckline. And can we take a second to draw attention to Scott’s utterly adoring expression here? We’re swooning along with him!

After a few wise and poignant words from Kahu Euta, the couple said “I do” as the gentle white waters churned in the backdrop.  

After the ceremony, the couple strolled down the sandy shore for some quiet moments of reflection and candid couple shots.

Although the week had been overcast and misty, a spectacular sunset of creams and honey graced the sky on this couple’s Special Day. It made for an enchanting sight to behold, casting the couple’s natural beauty in a glowing radiance.

In fact, it was the first Hawaiian sunset Cassandra and Scott had the pleasure of seeing in person — and what a special first!

Thank you, Cassandra and Scott for sharing your Special Day with us … we wish you the fondest aloha in the decades to come …

Karen and Zach told us they wanted their wedding to be relaxed and simple, yet elegant. We think that is EXACTLY what it turned out to be! Having a Maui beach wedding was relaxed and simple. Their gorgeous bridal attire, floral and mini reception at the Four Seasons afterward were elegant as can be.

About The Couple

This darling duo met in High School in Alaska through a mutual friend and have been together ever since! They LOVE traveling and have been to Hawaii many times and consider it a very special place for them. They got engaged on top of the Sydney Harbor Bridge in Australia last year and look forward to future travels together as husband and wife!

The Ceremony

It was a perfect evening for a Maui beach wedding. The lighting was gorgeous and the trade winds calm. They were surrounded by their immediate family who showed their support and love. We loved how they had all their guests arrive before them and then made an entrance to the ceremony together. That’s the great thing about a beach wedding, you don’t have to follow the traditional rules, you can make it whatever you want it to be.

They also brought some dried petals in poppers for photos afterward, we love the way it turned out!

Thank you, Karen & Zach, for sharing your day with us, we are honored you chose us to be a part of your Maui wedding!

A Maui Beach wedding is always special, but we just loved all the inspired touches Sharadin and Michael added to make their celebration more personal. The green and white floral palate complimented the natural elements and the beach and carried through perfectly to their oceanfront reception at the Andaz.

To make sure they captured all the special details they made sure to add additional photography time. The added photo time allowed them to capture the getting ready process and the reception. They will have amazing images that tell the story of the day and captured so many beautiful moments together and with their friends and family.

The Details

We loved that Sharadin chose to bring their invites and announcements to be photographed. It provided a great backdrop for a beautiful photo of the rings. They had a romantic half-circle of green and white flowers for their ceremony alter and custom signage at their reception. It’s fun to see their journey from engaged couple to a destination Maui beach wedding.

Sharadin has a special bond with her dad and included a personalized gift for him as well as a father-daughter first look after she was finished getting ready. It’s special touches like this that made their Maui wedding so unique and inspirational.

Move over Folgers, the new best part of waking up is getting to marry the love of your life! That’s just what Ty and Erika did at their beautiful morning Maui Destination Wedding!

Their Love Story

Fate brought these two together when Erika was interning at Ty’s college all the way from Brazil! They fell in love and dated long distance for three years going back and forth between Texas and Brazil. They are finally getting to be together living in Boston and loving the life they are building together.

Erika had never been to Hawaii at all and Ty had been two other islands but not Maui. So it was they got to experience Maui for the first time together. When they decided on a destination wedding in Maui they said they wanted to book us because our website was so well put together and made them confident we would put the same level of detail into planning their wedding, Thank you two!!

Their Wedding Day

Erika wanted the first time Ty saw her on their Maui wedding day to be when she was making her entrance to their ceremony, it was a beautiful moment to see Ty admiring his soon to be wife walking towards him to the ceremony.

Surrounded by close family and Erika’s dad on a live stream, they said their vows to a bright sunny morning on a nearly empty beach with the sound of waves crashing nearby and soft ocean breezes. After the ceremony, they celebrated with a cake-cutting ceremony and then some beautiful photos to remember the beautiful morning Maui destination wedding.

We especially loved that they chose to add on our Just Maui’d sign with floral, it looked so pretty against the bright blue ocean!

Thank you so much, Erika and Ty, for choosing Simple Maui Wedding to be your Maui wedding coordinators, we were so happy to have been a part of your day!! Keep scrolling for more of this lovely morning Maui beach wedding.

Erin surprised David with this Maui Vow Renewal! She told him it was just a photoshoot to get him all dressed up 🙂 . But then when they got to the beach, Rev. Richardo was waiting for them. Such a sweet surprise!

An Added Surprise

To make it even better, David surprised Erin as well! He’d been carrying around a new wedding ring he brought with him to Maui so he could re-propose to her. So during the ceremony, he pulled it out and got down on one knee! It was the perfect moment and left us all speechless. What a beautiful way to celebrate 10 years together!

We are beyond honored to have been part of such a romantic and thoughtful evening! Thank you, Erin and David, for sharing it with us. Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

We met up with Jessica and David on a gorgeous morning for their Maui Elopement at Southside Beach. This is one of our most popular locations for ceremonies because of the wide variety of scenery. From a soft sandy beach, lava rocks, and a beautiful area of greenery this setting has it all!

Our bride primarily spoke Portuguese, which our groom knows how to speak because he wanted to understand his Jui Jitsu teacher better. Wow! He was so adorable translating for her the entire time 🙂 . These two really were just so sweet together all throughout their Maui Elopement! And we are so glad we could be part of their special day.
