A Maui beach wedding already feels a little like cheating at romance. Somehow, Amandalis and Jaesean made it even dreamier. The ocean stretched behind them, while soft clouds drifted overhead. Best of all, their South Side Beach ceremony felt wonderfully intimate and completely focused on the two of them.

Amandalis looked radiant in her sleek gown and floral crown. Meanwhile, Jaesean’s tropical lei and all-white look fit the island setting perfectly. Throughout the ceremony, they shared sweet glances, exchanged leis, and admired their sparkling rings. Above all, their smiles made it clear they were exactly where they wanted to be.

Afterward, the newlyweds set off for a little Maui adventure. First, they wandered hand in hand along the shoreline. Then, they tucked beneath lush greenery for quiet kisses. They also explored the dramatic lava rocks with the Pacific behind them. Every portrait felt relaxed, joyful, and completely theirs. In fact, the rest of the world seemed to disappear. After all, you do not need a crowd to make a wedding feel enormous. Sometimes two people, a bouquet, and an island are more than enough.

Finally, Maui saved a little extra magic for the finale. As the sun dipped lower, the sky glowed with warm gold and soft pink. Naturally, it created the dreamiest backdrop for their newlywed portraits. Their wedding was simple, romantic, and meaningful. Most importantly, it stayed focused on the reason they came: choosing each other forever.

Congratulations, Amandalis and Jaesean! We hope married life brings you just as much joy and laughter. May it also hold plenty of breathtaking moments like this unforgettable evening on Maui.

A Maui vow renewal was the perfect way for Melanie and Paul to celebrate twenty-five years of marriage, surrounded by their three children and the peaceful beauty of Maluaka Beach. Their story began during their first year of college. Five years later, Paul proposed at Magnolia Plantation in Charleston, South Carolina. Since then, they have built a beautifully full life together as physicians, parents, travelers, and enthusiastic scuba-diving partners.

For their anniversary, Melanie and Paul wanted to focus on what has always mattered most to them: experiences, family, and time together. So, there were no elaborate decorations or formal traditions. Instead, their children stood beside them in soft shades of pink and white as they exchanged vows near the ocean. There were sweet glances, joyful hugs, and plenty of laughter. Most importantly, every moment felt wonderfully genuine and completely true to their relaxed personalities.

As the ceremony came to a close, Melanie and Paul sealed their renewed promises with joyful smiles while their children gathered around them. The family shared laughter and a few quiet moments together beside the ocean. It was a simple yet meaningful ending, perfectly reflecting the life they have built and the love that continues to hold them all together.

After the ceremony, Melanie and Paul wandered along the shoreline for a few romantic portraits. The cloudy Maui sky created soft, dreamy light as they danced, embraced, and walked hand in hand beside the waves. Then, just as their session was ending, a brilliant sunray broke through the clouds and stretched toward the beach. It felt like Maui’s own anniversary gift, celebrating a love that has grown stronger through twenty-five years of adventures, busy schedules, and choosing one another again and again.

Congratulations, Melanie and Paul, on twenty-five incredible years of marriage. We wish you many more years of laughter, meaningful adventures, and beautiful memories together!

A Maui beach wedding was the sweetest next chapter for Kayleigh and Joe, whose love story began with a TikTok livestream, a mutual friend, and one very cheesy pickup line. Joe happened to discover Kayleigh’s live before heading to church basketball with his brother, and somehow his bold introduction worked. Two years later, he proposed at Disneyland on July 9, 2024. They chose that same meaningful date for their wedding, forever connecting two of their happiest milestones.

Because the beach has always been Kayleigh’s favorite place, a tropical celebration felt completely right. She had fallen in love with Hawaii, but neither of them had visited Maui. Baldwin Beach Park gave them the chance to begin married life somewhere beautifully new. Surrounded by vibrant flowers, bright pink and orange dresses, and the people they love most, Kayleigh and Joe exchanged vows beside the sparkling ocean.

Then, as though Maui had planned its own dramatic entrance, a brilliant ray of sunlight broke through the clouds and shone directly over them. It illuminated the ceremony in the most breathtaking way, turning an already emotional moment into something almost cinematic. From a playful TikTok pickup line to a glowing Maui shoreline, Kayleigh and Joe’s story proves that sometimes the most unexpected beginnings lead exactly where they belong.

After the ceremony, Kayleigh and Joe wandered along the shoreline for their newlywed portraits. They laughed, held each other close, and soaked in those first quiet moments as husband and wife. Between the colorful floral circle, soft ocean breeze, and dramatic Maui sky, every image felt joyful, romantic, and completely true to them.

Congratulations, Kayleigh and Joe! May your marriage be filled with the same joy, warmth, and unexpected magic that brought you together. We are so honored to have captured this beautiful beginning and wish you a lifetime of laughter, adventure, and love.

A wedding in Maui was the perfect way for Lexi and Maddie to celebrate the start of their forever together, creating memories filled with sunshine, laughter, and the kind of love that feels completely effortless.

Traveling from Illinois, these two exchanged vows on the golden shores of Po’olenalena Beach with the ocean stretching behind them. Their elegant white gowns complemented each other beautifully. Lexi wore a delicate flower crown, while Maddie added flowers to her hair after the ceremony. Together, their looks felt timeless, romantic, and uniquely theirs. Throughout the day, every smile, glance, and hand squeeze reflected the excitement of beginning a new chapter together in paradise.

After saying “I do,” the celebration continued with thoughtful details that made the day even more meaningful. First, Lexi and Maddie shared a sparkling cider toast. Then, they cut a sweet little cake topped with a figurine of their beloved dog, Wrigley. It was the perfect reminder that their cherished family member was part of the celebration in spirit.

Next, a joyful petal toss filled the air with laughter, while their adorable “Just Maui’d” sign added a playful touch. As the sun dipped lower, golden light wrapped around the beach and created warm, effortless portraits. Every image reflected the happiness they shared together.

A wedding in Maui is always a beautiful way to begin a marriage, and Lexi and Maddie’s day was full of love, laughter, and unforgettable moments. Thank you, Lexi and Maddie, for letting us capture your incredible wedding in Maui. We wish you both a lifetime of happiness and endless adventures together!

A Maui venue wedding felt like the perfect next chapter for Kamala-Lee and Matthew, whose love story began long before Instagram was even a thing. These Maui residents first connected on Myspace as teenagers and dated briefly. Although life took them in different directions, they eventually found their way back to each other years later.

After reconnecting in 2012, they built a beautiful life together. Along the way, they raised four wonderful children and spent countless weekends cheering from the sidelines at sports games. Then, during a birthday trip to Oahu, Matthew planned the perfect surprise. He proposed with a sparkling ring and cupcakes from Liliha Bakery. From that moment on, it was clear their story had come full circle.

Their wedding at Rustic Hawaiian Ruins was filled with heartfelt moments and surrounded by Maui’s lush beauty. Beneath swaying palms and vibrant tropical greenery, they exchanged vows in front of family and friends. Meanwhile, every smile, glance, and happy tear reflected the love and commitment they have shared over the years. Their children stood proudly nearby, making the ceremony even more meaningful.

Afterward, the newlyweds wandered through the garden pathways together. They shared quiet moments beneath the trees as soft island light filtered through the leaves. Kamala-Lee looked radiant in her flowing gown, while Matthew could not stop smiling beside her. From the beautiful florals to the romantic portraits, every detail celebrated the life they have built together.

Congratulations, Kamala-Lee and Matthew! We wish your family a lifetime filled with love, laughter, and many unforgettable adventures together.

A Maui venue wedding was always destined to be part of Taylor and Jake’s story, and it could not have been a more perfect fit for them.

The two first crossed paths in high school but did not know each other well. Then, during their junior year of college, they reconnected and quickly realized they had found something special. Their story came full circle on Maui, where Jake proposed on the beach near Mama’s Fish House, the same spot where Taylor’s parents were married.

On their wedding day, they stood beneath a gold circle arch adorned with lush greenery and exchanged vows with the Pacific Ocean as their backdrop. Meanwhile, a glowing Maui sunset painted the sky in shades of gold.

After the ceremony, Taylor and Jake explored the rocky shoreline for portraits surrounded by the ocean. The waves crashed against the rocks while the evening light created a dreamy, romantic setting.

Then, as the sun dipped below the horizon, they headed to their reception at Merriman’s restaurant. Family and friends gathered to celebrate the start of their next chapter together in one of Maui’s most beautiful settings.

Congratulations, Taylor and Jake, and best wishes for a lifetime of love, adventure, and happiness together!

A Maui destination wedding that starts with a cake-topped proposal and ends with ocean-kissed vows is already winning, but Ashly and Shawn somehow made it even sweeter.

These two Tennessee lovebirds first met thanks to well-meaning friends and a setup that didn’t quite go as planned. A year later, they reconnected and never looked back. Timing really is everything. Shawn sealed it with a birthday surprise that turned into a proposal. Ashly came home expecting cake, then spotted a ring on top that read “Marry Shawny,” a sweet nod from her daughter that makes the whole story feel like a rom-com you never want to end.

Set at the Beach House in Makena, Maui, their ceremony felt like a sunlit dream. Towering floral arrangements framed the aisle just steps from the ocean. Palm trees swayed overhead as if they were part of the celebration.

Ashly looked radiant in her flowing gown, and Shawn was all smiles in his light suit. Surrounded by their closest family and friends, they exchanged vows with waves rolling in behind them. It was joyful, intimate, and full of heart.

Wishing Ashly and Shawn a lifetime of love, laughter, and perfectly timed surprises.

A wedding in Maui like Amber and Quinn’s feels like stepping into a story that was always meant to unfold this way. From the start, their connection felt easy and natural.

They met through friends and when the world slowed down, they finally spent time together in person. Quinn rode his bike to Amber’s house, and everything clicked. That same feeling carried them to Merriman’s Kapalua. Ocean views and soft greenery created a calm, beautiful setting.

Amber wore a lace, sheer illusion gown that flowed with every step. Quinn chose a tan linen suit that felt relaxed and refined. Blue and white baby’s breath wove through Amber’s braid and added a soft, romantic touch. They stood beneath the arch and exchanged vows and rings. You could feel the quiet joy between them in every moment.

Then Maui added its own blessing. A rainbow stretched across the sky behind them and made the moment feel even more special.

As golden hour arrived, the light softened. They walked along the shoreline, laughing and holding each other close. Every moment felt warm, calm, and full of love. Their photos reflect that same energy with a hint of celebration woven throughout. Amber and Quinn created something truly special, and their story is only just beginning.

Amber and Quinn, thank you so much for choosing us to capture your beautiful wedding in Maui and for letting us be part of such a meaningful chapter in your story.

A Maui Venue Wedding at Royal Lahaina Resort is always a beautiful choice. For Cheyenne and Jake, it became a love story that felt cinematic and completely, wonderfully real. These two met in college as Division I athletes in California, him on the baseball field and her on the soccer pitch, which honestly explains the effortless teamwork vibes in every single photo. Continue reading to see all the beauty of the day…

Under a simple wooden arbor framed by tropical blooms and that endless Ka’anapali blue, they held hands like they have been doing it for over a decade, steady and sure. The lawn was bright and impossibly green, their friends and family smiling from white garden chairs, and the ocean shimmered behind them like it was in on the secret. There is something about a couple who has grown up vacationing in Maui, who chose this island not just for its beauty but for its history in their lives, that makes a Maui Venue Wedding feel less like a destination and more like a homecoming.

And then there were the portraits. Golden light spilling across the beach as they ran barefoot along the shoreline, Cheyenne’s dress catching the breeze while Jake looked at her like he had just won the championship game of life. The palm trees leaned dramatically overhead, the waves curled in soft applause, and their laughter felt completely unfiltered, goofy and joyful in the very best way. One moment they were wrapped up together on the sand with the sun melting into the horizon, the next they were showing off those brand new rings in a close up that practically glowed. It was romantic, yes, but it was also playful and warm and unmistakably them.

Cheyenne and Jake, your day was sunshine-soaked and heart-filled, and it was the absolute honor of a lifetime to capture it. Congratulations to you both on the most beautiful beginning.

Mariana and Darryl traveled from Georgia and turned Ironwoods Beach into something straight out of a romance film for their Maui elopement. If you are going to Elope in Maui Hawaii, you might as well do it with waves crashing behind your ceremony and a rainbow stretching boldly across the sky like nature’s personal blessing.

Mariana stunned in a chic, non traditional cocktail dress that felt playful and effortlessly elegant, her hair adorned with delicate gems that shimmered in the Maui light. Her bouquet sparkled with vibrant detail while the ocean roared behind them. It was intimate, wind-kissed, and completely theirs.

As they were pronounced married, Wonderful Tonight played as their exit song, floating over the shoreline while they walked hand in hand into their new chapter. The musician’s melody carried through the salty air, wrapping around them as the rainbow lingered in the background like it refused to miss a single second. They laughed, embraced on the rocky coastline, and let the waves splash around them, soaking in every unscripted, joy filled moment. To elope in Maui Hawaii means letting go of expectation and leaning fully into magic, and Mariana and Darryl did exactly that.

Congratulations, Mariana and Darryl, on a wedding day as vibrant and unforgettable as your love story!

If you could bottle the exact feeling of meeting your person in the middle of a music festival, add a warm Maui breeze, a little salt in the air, and a lot of heart eyes, you’d get something very close to Jen and Sarah’s Maui Wedding at Ironwoods Beach.

These two first crossed paths thanks to their friend Serena, somewhere between live music, dancing crowds, and that electric kind of energy that only happens when life decides to be cinematic. Fast forward to their wedding day, and that same spark was everywhere. The ocean stretched out behind them like a watercolor painting, their bright tropical bouquet practically glowing against the soft tones of their outfits. Every glance between them had that unmistakable “I still can’t believe I get to marry you” look. It felt romantic, a little playful, and completely, unapologetically them.

And then there were the sneakers. Matching Converse, peeking out beneath their wedding outfits like the world’s cutest secret, equal parts practical and rebellious. It was the kind of detail that made you want to grin behind the camera, because of course, the couple who met at a music festival would get married in shoes made for dancing. They wandered across the sand, climbed the rocks, laughed into each other’s shoulders, and looked at one another like the rest of the world had politely stepped aside. As the sunset turned the sky into soft shades of peach and gold, their Maui Wedding wrapped itself up in the kind of glow that feels less like a photo and more like a memory you never want to forget.

Mahalo Jen & Sarah for choosing Simple Maui Wedding to coordinate your Maui Wedding. We are honored and so excited for your journey together!

A Maui vow renewal isn’t always about recreating a wedding day. It’s about honoring everything that came after. For Rosie and Edwin, it was about fifteen years of choosing each other through long hospital shifts, late-night studying, blended family chaos, and the quiet, everyday courage it takes to build a life together.

They met as nurses in a cardiac ICU, where connection happens fast and authenticity matters. From there, life moved quickly, in the best, messiest way. Graduate school with kids in tow. Anesthesia training side by side. A family of four stitched together with love, patience, and grit. They did things a little backwards: had a child together, then got married at a Miami courthouse during their very first week of anesthesia school, and hearts already fully committed.

Ten years later, Edwin surprised Rosie with a ring upgrade and the engagement moment she never had. A ceremony, though, stayed on the someday list.

Until now…that’s where we step in!

A Special Surprise

This Maui trip was already a bucket-list vacation, but Rosie quietly planned something more. Edwin thought they were heading to the beach for portraits. Instead, at DT Fleming Beach, with waves rolling in and the light turning soft and golden, he found himself standing in a vow renewal he never saw coming.

The surprise was tender.
The vows were steady and sure.

Fifteen years of resilience, partnership, and love spoken out loud at last.

This wasn’t a redo.
It was a recognition.

A pause in time to say: We did this. We’re still here. And I would choose you again, every time.

After the vows came the portraits! And this is where the magic lingered. They walked along the shoreline, held each other a little longer, and looked at one another with the calm confidence of a couple who’s done the hard work. The portraits felt unposed and honest: hands intertwined, soft smiles, the kind of closeness you can’t manufacture. The wind lifted Rosie’s hair just enough. Edwin’s smile said everything.

These weren’t “look-at-the-camera” photos. They were look-at-us photos….
