“We wanted it to be unforgettable, and there’s no better way to do so than in Maui,” said our sweet couple, Kristin and Riley, before their wedding day! Gathered with their close family and friends, their Maui venue wedding was an intimate and beautiful affair overlooking the island’s southern shores. Our happy couple loves the island’s lifestyle and all of its activities in nature, so it felt like the perfect fit for their vows, and their guests could make the most of it too! Re-live their happy day with us through these photos below!

Love Under The Sun

Their beautiful day began under a stunning tropical greenery circle arch at Gannon’s in Kihei. The talented team at Dellables did a fantastic job, don’t you think? The sun shone down during their heartfelt vows as if symbolizing the warmth and love of their words. And look on Riley’s face when he saw Kristin walk down the aisle in her exquisite lace gown was priceless!

If you can’t tell already, we love this venue because of the panoramic view of the ocean from the grassy lawn. The spectacular view and the intimacy of the tropical setting make this spot one of our favorites. You can feel the tropical ambiance through their stunning ceremony photos… Even though their Maui venue wedding was a destination location, everyone was so happy to be there to celebrate our happy couple!

A Day To Celebrate

Everyone was ready to celebrate the happy newlyweds! Even though it was an intimate Maui venue wedding, the energy was no less full of excitement and lively! Kristin and Riley were surrounded by love and well wishes throughout the day… But before they went off to celebrate at their reception, we captured a few portraits by the water’s edge at nearby Southside Beach. And since these two love fishing and anything outdoorsy, the natural beauty of the ocean was the perfect romantic setting for some newlywed portraits!

The way they look at each other in these photos says it all! These tender moments will surely be treasured as they embark on their next greatest adventure together. It doesn’t get any more romantic than colorful sunset to end their Maui venue wedding too!

Congratulations to Mr. & Mrs. Swanston! It was our pleasure to coordinate your dream Hawaii wedding! We send you all the love and aloha into the years ahead…

We love to bring our couple’s wedding dreams to reality! Brett and Lance’s Maui venue wedding was the special day they had been dreaming of for quite some time. From the moment they got engaged, they knew that a destination wedding in Maui would be the perfect setting for their intimate celebration with close family and friends who were more than happy to travel to celebrate with them! It was an intimate and heartfelt occasion, full of love, laughter, and joy, as you’ll see in these highlights below!

Their lovely ceremony was held on Gannon’s grassy knoll beneath a beautiful circle greenery arch with a breathtaking view of the ocean as their backdrop – truly stunning! It looks like a scene out of a tropical dream, doesn’t it? It captured every bit of the tropical Hawaiian feeling that they hoped for…

Tropical Elegance Done Right – Maui Venue Wedding

After receiving many well wishes, it was time to bring the love to the beach! But, of course, their love of the beach is what drew them to Maui in the first place! So our newlyweds were more than happy to head down to Southside Beach for some additional intimate portraits. One thing that caught our eye was Brett’s delightful custom bouquet – full of vibrant tropical colors like coral, pink, and yellow, which matched her flower crown perfectly! And Lance looked so handsome in his plaid suit – blue is always such a great choice for a beach wedding!

The newlyweds basked in that “Just Maui’d” bliss as the sun set on their Maui venue wedding. These portraits’ lighting is so dreamy – from the pink pastel sky to the soft turquoise blue of the water. We love this beach for this very reason; the sunsets are magnificent! The breathtaking view of the ocean as their backdrop for the ceremony was just one feature that created an extra layer of romance to their newlywed portraits! A perfect ending to a perfect day…

Congratulations, Brett and Lance! We wish you the very best in the years ahead, full of love, joy, and aloha, of course! Until we see you again…

College sweethearts Ashleigh and Liam’s Maui beach wedding was one for the books! It was a day full of love, light, and happiness. Our charming pair first met at Ohio State University in 2018 and had always dreamed of getting married somewhere beautiful, so when they planned a trip to the island, they thought, why not get married here too?! It seemed like the perfect place for their intimate ceremony, and as you’ll see in these highlights, they couldn’t have been more right!

Natural Elegance

On the day of their Maui beach wedding, their guests brought with them the aloha spirit and donned vibrant leis to Southside Beach, ready to take part in their relaxed yet elegant celebration.

The natural streaming sunlight made a breezy ambiance, while the crashing waves in the distance added an extra magical feel…

Janikka and Rainier fell so much in love with Maui when they visited several years ago that when it came to planning their marriage, it was the first place that came to their minds! Not only did they recently celebrate their Maui venue wedding, but they spent their beautiful honeymoon here right after!

A funny thing happened when they went to a luau when they were just dating – the lady at the front desk thought they were married, and they said, “no, we’re just dating,” and she replied, “well, you better do something about that!” Clearly, she could tell how much in love they were…we like to think fate had a hand it their union! Keep reading to see how their dream day unfolded!

It Had To Be Maui

Our couple’s Maui venue wedding was an absolute dream come true! After six years of dating, they knew that Maui was the perfect place to say “I do”. Their ceremony took place on the grassy knoll at Gannon’s, surrounded by lush greenery and stunning views of the ocean. The weather cooperated perfectly, providing a beautiful sunny day for this special occasion.

Janikka looked absolutely breathtaking in her modern white gown, while Rainier looked sharp in his suit. Their love for each other was palpable throughout the entire ceremony as they exchanged vows and shared their first kiss as husband and wife! Who could have guessed after their first visit all those years ago they would tie the knot in Maui? Their friends and family were more than happy to make the big trip to celebrate their Maui venue wedding as you can see by the joy in their smiles…

Off Into The Sunset

After the happy cheers and a few happy tears, we went down to Southside Beach to capture our happy newlyweds’ first moments as husband and wife. It felt utterly surreal for both since they only played at a Maui venue wedding after their first trip here! But it couldn’t have been a more perfect decision.

It’s clear in these beautiful portraits that this couple had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and now that it had finally arrived, they were savoring every second of it. Their love radiated from every photo – a true testament to the power of love and commitment.

These sunset newlywed portraits will undoubtedly become treasured memories for Janikka and Rainier as they look back on their special day in years to come! It’s moments like these that remind us all of the beauty of true love. After their newlywed beach portraits, they were ready to celebrate with their awaiting friends and family at their intimate reception!

Congratulations, Janikka and Rainier! We wish them all the best as they embark on this new chapter in their lives together – may their love only continue to grow stronger with each passing day!

We recently had the pleasure of being a part of Kira and Don’s love story by coordinating their Maui elopement! Our charming couple’s story began over 30 years ago when they worked alongside each other in their earlier careers. They remained friends and had their own families, although they stayed in contact on and off with each other over the years. Years later, they reconnected, and it was back to instant friendship! Which quickly developed into something more, as you probably can tell by now! Keep reading to see more of their beautiful day…

As we photographed away, the deep love and friendship between these two were palpable. After all these years, they realized they had something more…and it was a privilege to witness their romance come to fruition! Their Maui elopement was everything they dreamed of: simple, casual, elegant, and, most of all, romantic. The waves were the perfect sound to pair with their beautiful vows…

Our happy newlyweds savored the blissful moment of now being husband and wife! Even though they have children of their own separately, they wanted their big day to be just the two of them, marking a new chapter in their lives. The tropical setting of Southside Beach provided the laid-back, fun, and easy breezy atmosphere that they wanted most…

It was a joy to coordinate and capture your special day Kira and Don! We are so happy for you both that after all this time, you finally reconnected only to find true love! Sending you both lots of aloha in your future ahead…

It was our pleasure to make their dream wedding come true…

Our sweet couple hail from the Pacific Northwest, and they fell in love with Maui when they visited in 2020 and knew they had to return one day. Jacqie also used to be a Hawaiian dancer growing up, and they really connect to the island’s culture. So now here they are tying the knot at their Maui venue wedding!

But first, the first look! The smile on Daniel’s face when he saw Jacqie for the first time was priceless! She looks like a tropical goddess with her vibrant bouquet and haku flower crown…

Our Best Day Ever

Their tropical ceremony was held at Gannon’s, and thankfully the rain held off for their sacred vows! It was intimate, simple, and beautiful, exactly what they hoped for…and they were surrounded by their close friends and family who were so happy to witness their big day! These two have been together for nine years, full of love and growth, so you can imagine they are ready to begin their next adventure!

Now it was time to celebrate! With a burst of bubbles, no less! It was a fun and lighthearted touch that captured their bubbly and adventurous personalities! Is there anything more cheerful than a cloud of bubbles?! Their Maui venue wedding perfectly encapsulated their new start for their next chapter…

Before continuing their celebration, we took a walk down to Southside Beach to catch the sunset! And they had the most colorful and beautiful sunsets, as you’ll see! The rain had dissipated and unveiled a colorful and glorious sky as if in honor of our dear couples’ big day…

Congratulations Jacqie and Daniel! Mahalo for being so flexible with the weather! It was our pleasure to coordinate your big day and make your dream wedding come true!

We were delighted to coordinate Melissa and Tedd’s beach wedding, a truly special and intimate occasion! The couple, who had already planned a trip to the island before getting engaged, decided to turn their vacation into a romantic Maui elopement! This day was theirs. And what mattered most was the love and commitment they shared as they turned the page in their love story. Keep reading to re-live their magical day!

Melissa and Tedd exchanged vows amidst the stunning lava rocks and blue waters as the sun started to set on the water at Southside Beach. The location couldn’t have been more picture-perfect. And when the couple exchanged rings and spoke their vows, their dream of a Maui elopement came true! It was a touching moment, full of love, warmth, and newlywed bliss!

The setting sun surrounded our beautiful newlyweds in a golden glow that was utterly romantic! Melissa and Tedd look like they are in their own little world, lost in the magic of their love…

Melissa looks exquisite in her creamy gown, especially as the sun filters through the delicate layers! Her new husband was equally handsome in his sharp suit! They make a beautiful pair, don’t you think?!

But the Maui magic didn’t stop there! A turtle came out of the water and lumbered onto the beach to greet the newlyweds as they basked in the warm warmth of their love. Truly a Hawaiian blessing! Melissa and Tedd will always cherish that moment of their Maui elopement. It was genuinely unforgettable!

Finally, Melissa and Tedd’s beach wedding in Maui was an expression of their devotion to one another and their deep bond. It was a pleasure to make their dream wedding come true! We wish you both all the love and joy in the years ahead! Congratulations!

It was a dream come true for our happy couple! We recently had the pleasure of coordinating Christina and Orlando’s Maui venue wedding! It was a glorious day, down to every little detail and look of love between our happy newlyweds, as you’ll see in these beautiful captures below…

A Moment In Time

The ceremony at Gannon’s was absolutely stunning, with the lawn overlooking the breathtaking ocean serving as the perfect backdrop for the happy couple’s vows. It was a scene from a dream, that’s for sure!

But it wasn’t just the gorgeous location and stunning scenery that made this wedding so special – the love and joy shared by Christina, Orlando, and all their friends and family were present in every moment! We couldn’t be happier for the couple as they begin their journey together as husband and wife!

It was such a pleasure being their Maui wedding planner, and we were thrilled to be a part of their special day. Their love story is one that truly warms our hearts and reminds us why we do what we do.

The ceremony was absolutely stunning, with a beautiful driftwood arch serving as the altar! It added a beachy touch to the whole celebration. The arch, adorned with white roses and greenery, provided the perfect setting for the happy couple’s vows, and the lawn overlooking the breathtaking ocean served as the perfect backdrop. As the sun set behind them, the couple exchanged heartfelt promises and sealed their love with a kiss, surrounded by their loved ones.

The light filtering through the greenery is so luminous in these photos! These newlywed portraits feel utterly surreal and dreamy, don’t you agree?

After the ceremony, we photograph our charming newlyweds on Southside Beach, capturing the beauty and romance of their special day. And they were graced with the most beautiful sunset, as you can see! They look completely swept up in the magic of the moment…memories to remember for a lifetime!

They were joined by their sweet daughter Zaya, 6, for a few family portraits! She is their pride and joy, and it was so important to our happy newlyweds that she would be included in these moments, too, as you can imagine!

Mahalo, Christina, and Orlando, for inviting us to be a part of your beautiful Maui venue wedding! We wish you both a lifetime of love, happiness, and adventure! Until next time…

“We both agreed that our wedding is OUR wedding, so planning a day for others just wasn’t right for us,” said our beautiful couple before their recent Maui elopement! And we couldn’t agree more! Amanda and Matt couldn’t wait to tie the knot, and we were honored to capture every moment! Our happy newlyweds wanted their day to be just about them, without a big extravagant show that didn’t feel authentic to their love story. So, let’s see how their dream wedding unfolded!

Amanda and Matt are two of a kind…they love spending quality time together and raising their 18-month-old son! They both are from a small town in Texas but never knew each other until they met on a dating app. While both were living in Texas, Amanda was blown away that she met a guy from her hometown, where everyone knows everyone! Little did they know what love had in store for them! The rest is history…

Since it was just the two of them, these photos feel extra romantic and dreamy! Amanda looks ethereally backlit by the sun…simply stunning!

They have that look – the newlywed bliss look! Both radiate happiness in every photo as they savor these first moments as husband and wife together! Our beautiful couple had never been to Maui before, so this entire day felt like a total dream at Southside Beach at sunset…

To our dear newlyweds, Amanda and Matt – it was a joy to coordinate and capture your Maui elopement! We are so pleased that your wedding was everything you wanted and more! Congratulations! May you continue to grow in love in the years to come!

Jessica and Bobby’s Maui venue wedding was a sign that dreams do come true! We recently had the pleasure of coordinating and photographing their special day. Our delightful couple love to travel together, and when they came to Maui for the first time, they felt an instant connection and love for the island, so it was the perfect place to celebrate their wedding! It was a gorgeous day in paradise for our beautiful newlyweds, as you’ll see in the following photos…so keep reading!

These photos during the ceremony look so dreamy! The colors are so soft in the luminescent light! It was an incredibly sacred moment as they exchanged their loving vows to forever love, honor, and cherish each other…

Our charming couple not only fell in love with each other but with Maui too! They wanted an intimate yet elegant setting with a view for their wedding, so the grassy lawn at Gannon’s was perfect. And since they invited a small number of close friends and family, there was plenty of space to celebrate!

Forever By Your Side

What struck us most as we walked down to Southside Beach for a few more portraits of their Maui venue wedding was how clearly in love they are with each other! Our newlyweds met at work three years ago and became friends…although clearly there was something more!

They are completely lost in each other’s eyes in these photos…Jessica looks radiant with the long veil flowing behind her in the ocean breeze, don’t you think? It completely added an extra element of romance to the tropical setting…

From all of us at Simple Maui Wedding, we wish Jessica and Bobby all the love and happiness in the years to come! May you both carry the aloha spirit with you too! We hope to see you again on our island one day…
