“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!

Where do we start with our charming couple? Ellie and Doug have worked together for nearly 17 years, but they are not just co-workers, as you might guess! Their Maui elopement marked the pinnacle of their relationship, and we were so pleased to capture every intimate moment! Keep reading to see more highlights from their special day…

Our beautiful couple’s story began years ago…Doug and Ellie met when they worked together on a labor/delivery unit in their local hospital. And to our surprise, they worked many years together before falling in love! Ellie has two daughters of her own, and Doug has two boys, which makes a full and rich life together, as you can imagine! He proposed in June of 2019, in a beautiful private moment at home…and they both wanted something similar for their Maui elopement!

Maui is one of their favorite places, and they have been many times before! They love the privacy and scenery of the island, especially the dramatic cliffs of Ironwoods…and with passing showers out in the ocean, a rainbow appeared to bless them in their next chapter, as you’ll see!

After so many years of being co-workers and friends, we are so happy for these two! They are officially newlyweds! Their Maui elopement was simple, elegant, and intimate – just what they envisioned! A “no fuss, no frills” elopement often can be just as moving and grand as a larger wedding, but more in a more thoughtful and subtle way…just like Ellie and Doug!

Thankfully, the showers over the ocean stayed abrest and didn’t rain on our beautiful newlyweds! It was a little breezy, but that made for gorgeous, beachy photos…

Congratulations, Ellie and Doug! May you have many more years of bliss together with your family!

Can you imagine meeting the love of your life at 15 years old? These two can! Courtney and Sadiq met at a conference when they were 15 years old; years later, they are now getting married at their Maui venue wedding! Please keep reading to re-live their incredible day!

So our beautiful couple attended a leadership conference and reconnected ten years later! Once they reconnected, they immediately knew it was happily ever after… Courtney calls it divine timing!

Their beautiful son joined his proud parents at the altar too! It was a lovely family moment…

The moment when they exchanged their vows felt like a dream! The light was so soft and romantic as it filtered through the bamboo arch on the grassy lawn at Gannon’s. These photos feel so enchanting!

And their sweet little boy wanted to be back in Papa’s arms as soon as possible! So sweet.

They were surrounded by their big, loving families who were ecstatic about their Maui venue wedding! But first, our newlyweds went down to Southside Beach for a few intimate portraits…and these quite possibly are our favorites of the day!

The sky was a surreal peachy pink that was so flattering in these photos! They cherished these moments as the sun set in the sky…Courtney looks gorgeous in her flowy beachy wedding dress! And Sadiq is equally sharp in his classic black-and-white look!

How romantic are these photos?! They had the most incredible sunset to end their Maui venue wedding! The energy and connection were magnetic between our darling newlyweds!

We wish Courtney and Sadiq the very best in the decades to come! It was an honor to plan your beautiful wedding!

Our darling couple has the sweetest story of how they met! Hanna and Dustin’s Maui elopement was a long time coming, as you’ll find out! But it was another beautiful day in paradise that these two would never forget! So, please keep reading to learn their endearing story…

There was always something more between these two…so in middle school, Dustin was Hanna’s older brother’s friend, and she had the biggest crush on him for what felt like an eternity! Little did Dustin know! They became very close friends in their early 20s but never dated. They reconnected almost ten years later and knew they had to get married! How sweet is that?!

We were so touched as they exchanged their thoughtful and meaningful vows. You can feel the deep friendship and love for each other in these photos! Their middle school selves would never have guessed they would have eloped together years later in Maui! We were so happy to capture these moments they will treasure forever!

Hanna looked radiant in her creamy minimalist gown, perfect for a Maui elopement on the beach! She was the picture of effortless elegance, don’t you think? And Dustin looked very handsome in his linen suit, which perfectly complemented the beachy ambiance!

Our beautiful newlyweds initially did not want to have any formal ceremony. They thought to spend just their honeymoon in Maui, but they ultimately decided it would be nice to have some photos and memories of a Maui elopement! And they have never been either! We are so happy they chose otherwise!

The light in the following photos is so stunning! It was so soft and golden…Po’olenalena Beach was the gorgeous location for their Maui elopement. This picturesque beach has a long stretch of sandy beach that is perfect for catching one of Maui’s epic sunsets too!

We rarely hear such a long love story like our beautiful pair, so this felt deeply special! Without a doubt, their deep friendship will carry them with strength and support in their next chapter together as husband and wife! We couldn’t be more pleased for you two!

And the sunset that evening didn’t disappoint! How happy they look! It was such a great end to their incredible day – it stopped us in our tracks!

A warm mahalo to Hanna and Dustin for choosing Simple Maui Wedding for your Maui elopement! May you continue to grow in love and friendship for years to come! Until we see you again in paradise!

We recently had the privilege to plan Abigail and David’s Maui elopement! It was nothing short of tropical elegance and romance, as seen in their beautiful photos below! So let’s re-live their fantastic day together!

As we captured their Maui elopement, we were in awe by the aloha spirit of their ceremony! Seeing them exchange their sacred vows at the stunning location of Maluaka Beach was breathtaking and utterly romantic!

Since it was just the two of them, it felt even more moving and powerful…nothing else mattered but each other at that very moment…

The light in their Maui elopement photos was surreal! These newlyweds were swept up in the present moment as the sun broke through the clouds into a golden and pink hue! Simply stunning.

Abigail looked like a tropical and ethereal goddess in her lace gown; she was glowing in these photos! And David’s sharp suit was very dashing with that pop of ocean blue!

How gorgeous is this sky?! It was as if Maui was sending our beautiful couple a magical blessing on their next journey together as husband and wife! Their elopement couldn’t have been more beautiful, don’t you agree? These photographs of their first married moments were spellbinding…They will undoubtedly cherish these photos for years to come…

Congratulations to Abigail and David! It was our pleasure to capture your elopement! May you share many more sunsets filled with love and happiness in the years to come! Until we meet again in paradise!

Our newlyweds are two of a kind – they are both physicians! So it was our pleasure to capture Thomas and Maelynn’s Maui elopement! Naturally, there were many emotions on their big day but one thing for sure was that they were ready to tie the knot! Please keep reading to see more photographs of their amazing day!

Their beautiful ceremony began at Ironwoods Beach, which was the perfect choice for these two because they love nature and the ocean!

They dreamed of something more secluded for their Maui elopement, so this was a fantastic location for their big day, as you’ll see in the following photos!

Their thoughtful vows deeply touched us; since it was just the two of them, it made it even more moving! It was as if the whole world melted away around them, and they were the only two people in the entire world…so romantic!

Love + Aloha – Maui Elopement

It’s not every day we get a beautiful bride in a short flirty dress! But we love how Maelynn veered away from tradition and opted for a flowy beach dress! It was playful and fun! Her haku flower crown was magnificent and complemented Thomas’ maile lei beautifully!

After their sweet ceremony, they wanted to take a few portraits with the dramatic scenery in the background. These photos of their Maui elopement mark the next phase of their life together!

It was a little slippery, but these two didn’t mind one bit! And thankfully, it wasn’t too windy either for Maelynn! They were savoring these intimate moments together, as you can see…

Our beautiful newlyweds are originally from Florida and had never been to Maui before, but we think the island gave them its magic blessing in these photos of their Maui elopement!

Mahalo to Maelynn and Thomas on your elopement! You are a beautiful couple, and we wish you all the love, peace, and happiness in your next adventure together as husband and wife! Until we meet again…

It all started as a friendship that budded into romance. Paige and Marty had known each other for 8 years before officially tying the knot at their Maui beach wedding! The couple met at work, and their casual friendship grew into something special they didn’t expect! Originally from Vancouver, they set their sights on our tropical island for their destination wedding. We are honored to capture the new chapter of their love story in paradise!

Best Friends

Their day was full of light and laughter as their genuine friendship shone through the lens. They spend most of their free time together and are best friends. Before the ceremony, they gushed that they were so in love and couldn’t contain their excitement for their beach wedding! That’s what we like to hear! They wanted a simple ceremony right on Lahaina Shores Beach with the gentle waves lapping at their feet. We love shooting at this location because of the ample sunshine and the powdery white sand. Our Maui beach weddings have a carefree and blissful ambiance that makes them one of a kind!

When we asked Paige and Marty what they hoped for their Maui beach wedding, they wanted something relaxed, intimate, and simple. They invited a few close friends and family to take part in their celebration – barefoot of course! Their guests were so happy to finally see these two best friends tie the knot in Maui after three years of dating. The couple couldn’t wait to start their new life together as husband and wife!

The couple had the most exceptional weather with clear blue skies and a gentle breeze. Sometimes the Maui winds can prove to be tricky conditions for us to shoot in, but they couldn’t have asked for a more gorgeous day. Paige and Marty do love cooler climates but were thrilled to share their precious day on our golden shores.

Paige’s elegant yet flowy dress was perfect for a Maui beach wedding. The couple couldn’t be happier in the photos! We loved capturing their secluded and private moment under the coconut trees that dotted the shoreline. This beach is one of the island’s best locations to capture a Maui sunset wedding.

From all of us at Karma Hill Photography, congratulations Paige and Marty, and mahalo for choosing us to capture your Maui wedding memories! We hope to see you back on our shores soon…

We have been so excited to share Hunter & Andrew’s wedding images since the moment we met them. Their ethereal style and relaxed personalities made them a joy to work with, and we loved being their Maui Wedding Coordinator!

They were a vision of dreamy white and pastel, as if they had descended from Lahaina’s soft sunset skies. And as beautiful as they were, it’s Hunter & Andrew’s warmth and kindness that make them such an all-star couple.

Check out some of our favorite moments from their Maui Beach Wedding — you’ll be wowed by each image!

New Plans and New Beginnings

We originally planned to have Hunter & Andrew’s wedding at DT Fleming Beach in Kapalua. But rainy weather drove us away from that location and to another scenic spot: Lahaina Shores Beach.

As a Maui Wedding Coordinator, we always hope the weather will be clear and sunny. After all, the threat of rain can dampen the day for a couple as they watch the radar and create a new vision for their ceremony.

Luckily, Hunter & Andrew have a great go-with-the-flow attitude, which enabled them to have a wonderful ceremony at a new location with clearer skies and beautiful surroundings.

Lahaina Shores Beach was a peaceful setting for their emotional yet fun-loving Maui wedding. Plus, their entire wedding style looks like it was created for this beach. Meant to be? Possibly. Incredibly Beautiful? Absolutely!

From College Sweethearts to World Travelers – A Maui Wedding Coordinator Story

Hunter & Andrew met in 2014 when they were both in college. Hunter grew up in Kentucky and dreamed of going out-of-state for college. So she headed to Florida, where more awaited her than she could have imagined.

What did she find in the sunshine state? Her future husband! Andrew checked all the boxes for young, adventurous Hunter, and they spent the years to come building a life together. They support each other’s career goals and hobbies, they raise their dogs together, and they enjoy vibrant Orlando life.

When they got engaged, they knew they wanted something small and intimate. Neither one had ever dreamed of a big, elaborate wedding, but they found it hard to plan anything back home that fit their vision.

So they reached out to us, a Maui wedding coordinator, to see if we could create a perfect wedding day for them. We’re so glad we could help them have this beautiful, simple, and elegant beach wedding in Hawaii!

Now that these two have tied the knot in Maui Hawaii, what’s next? They’ll head back to Florida and settle in as Newlyweds. They plan to have a big post elopement party with all their loved ones. And there’s even more traveling on their horizon: Greece in 2023!

But before we bid aloha to Hunter & Andrew, we were sure to get some romantic sunset portraits for them. We loved being their Maui Wedding Coordinator and are obsessed with all their stunning images!

Congratulations, Hunter & Andrew! Mahalo for allowing us to coordinate your wedding ceremony and portraits in Maui!

We had a ball at Shea & Todd’s Maui elopement! This beautiful pair traveled from Canada to tie the knot in Hawaii, and we’re so glad they did! It was a stunning evening with a captivating couple, and now we get to share some of our favorite photos!

We met Shea & Todd at Ironwoods Beach and took a small hike to the clifftop, where unbeatable views awaited us. Reverend Kimo officiated the ceremony — he brought Hawaiian traditions and a lot of heart. Keep scrolling to see how amazing this elopement was!

The Best View is When I’m Looking at You

Shea & Todd valued the simplicity and elegance of a Maui Elopement, but there was a tinge of worry to their wedding day. Rain hovered on the radar, threatening to claim their tropical dream. Of course, there is beauty in dreamy, rainy wedding days, but there was something else in store for this darling duo: dry weather, glowing sunset lighting, and pastel skies.

We had the best view of all that up on the cliffs at Ironwoods Beach. This spot is great for adventurous elopers who don’t mind the wind and rugged terrain. Luckily Shea & Todd are as adventurous as they get, and they really shined in this elevated setting.

These two would have been all smiles in any setting — it’s their love that prevails time and again, and they always find joy in everyday life. But here in Hawaii, surrounded by such natural beauty, their joy was enhanced, lifted, and transformed into hope they can carry for a lifetime.

It’s couples like this that remind us how much we love planning Maui elopements!

From One Diamond to the Next

Nearly every wedding involves diamonds, but Shea & Todd are drawn to a different kind of diamond — the one found at the ball fields. Avid baseball & softball fans, they also both play the sport and love spending their free time on the fields.

While their love of baseball bonded them early on, they actually met playing dodgeball. We guess they couldn’t dodge the spark of romance between them, but why would they want to?

Shea & Todd are such a cute couple, full of life and adventure. And their Maui elopement allowed them to slow down and truly appreciate their love story.

Now that they’ve had their breathtaking Maui wedding, they can look forward to what’s ahead. Supporting each other in their career goals, spoiling their cute dog Grey, more time playing ball, and hopefully a trip back to Hawaii soon!

We’re so glad we could help Shea & Todd have a memorable and gorgeous Maui elopement! Check out even more of their portraits below!

Congratulations, Shea & Todd! Mahalo for choosing us as your elopement coordinator!

When you elope in Maui, there are fewer things to make you nervous. That’s what draws so many wonderful couples to our island. One thing that brings anxiety to even the most laid-back couple? The weather.

Let’s set the scene, and then you’ll see how awesome Stephanie & Chris are!

Last weekend brought gray skies and lots of rain. Definitely not the bright tropical elopement this sweet couple dreamed of. We planned to have their ceremony in Wailea, but cloudy skies lurked overhead.

So what do Stephanie & Chris do? They go with the flow. These two were terrific, and sure they’d have a great day anywhere. So when we suggested moving to a dryer area of the island, they were totally up for it.

We met them a few minutes north in Kihei, where it seemed dry and clear. But we weren’t out of the woods yet.

It seemed like a rain cloud was following us, threatening to dampen our new plans as well.

Was it a miracle that the rains held off and the clouds cleared? Was it the wedding angels smiling down on Stephanie & Chris? Was their love so bright that no rain cloud stood a chance against them?

We think it may be all of that and more. We’re so happy that it worked out for them to elope in Maui! Check out their gorgeous Maui elopement below and join us in congratulating the beautiful newlyweds!

Best Delivery Ever

Stephanie & Chris are such a great match for each other! They’re laid-back yet adventurous, hard-working but always ready to share a laugh. The perfect type of couple to elope in Maui!

In fact, Chris had a somewhat humorous way of proposing to his now-wife. Stephanie is an online shopping enthusiast and looks forward to her Amazon deliveries. They joke that Stephanie gets home from work and enthusiastically greets the packages on her front porch before saying hi to Chris.

When it was time to surprise Stephanie with an engagement ring, Chris disguised it in an Amazon box and added it to her stack of packages. She was shocked and ecstatic when she opened that box and found it was a ring.

Of course, their proposal was emotional too, but it shows the kind of lighthearted fun these two are always searching for.

Their wedding reflected that too! While they were full of beauty and romance, they were also playful and cute. We loved helping coordinate their plans to elope in Maui!

An Emergency Meet-Cute

Stephanie & Chris first met in the ER. Stephanie is a nurse, and Chris is a firefighter/paramedic. They had seen each other a few times in passing, but hadn’t ever talked.

One night, Chris brought Stephanie an ER patient and a pickup line. He wanted to talk to her for a while but was too nervous. He lingered a while after giving Stephanie the patient’s report, and he ended up with her phone number. Score!

What started as workplace flirting ended up being a lifelong romance.

Once it was time to plan their wedding, they realized they were more excited about traveling than hosting a big event. Chris had been to Hawaii before, and Stephanie really wanted to visit the islands with him.

So they decided to Elope in Maui!

They had a beautiful ceremony with Reverend Richardo, and then they took dreamy newlywed portraits on the beach. Check out their sunset photos below — they’ll have you daydreaming about having your own elopement in Maui!

Congratulations, Stephanie & Chris! Mahalo for choosing us as your Maui elopement coordinator!

We found so much to love about Caroline & Eric, from the moment they first reached out to us until the last ray of sunlight on their big day. Their Four Seasons Wedding in Maui was such a joy, and these two are full of laughter and romance.

Ahead, we’ll share some of our favorite moments from Caroline & Eric’s Hawaii resort wedding, along with what makes them such a special couple. Keep scrolling to get all the stunning details!

Getting ready photos before a Four Seasons wedding in Maui

Close Before We Knew Each Other

Caroline & Eric met in Boise, where they both live now. But they were connected long before their fateful barroom meeting. As they formed a connection and got to know each other better, they realized they both lived in San Diego in the early 2000s. Caroline grew up there, and Eric moved there from the Bay area.

That’s enough to give anyone Chicken Skin, as we say in Hawaii. But the real surprise is that they not only lived in the same city all those years, but they actually lived only five minutes away from each other.

There was definitely some kind of greater force that brought Caroline & Eric together at the right place and right time.

Today they are a fun, hardworking couple in Idaho. Caroline is ecstatic to be gaining two beautiful, bright stepkids, and they also share three adorable and lively fur babies.

Maui is a meaningful place for both Caroline & Eric, so having a Four Seasons Wedding in Maui was perfect for these two. We’re so glad we could coordinate it!

A Four Seasons Wedding in Maui for a Stylish, Happy Couple

We love being a wedding planner at this marvelous hotel! When you have a Four Seasons wedding in Maui, you are choosing one of the most luxe properties in the world with some of the best sunset views.

Caroline & Eric were treated with the best of Maui’s beauty during their wedding day. The palm trees swayed behind them as the sun dipped low toward the calm blue water. They had their ceremony at Plumeria Point and then took some group photos on the nearby lawn.

Then it was time for some alone time with Caroline & Eric. Karma Hill Photography captured incredible images of them around the property and Wailea Beach. They’re such a kind couple who deserved the best wedding day, and we’re so happy mother nature provided them with a gorgeous backdrop.

We’ll be reliving this Four Seasons Wedding in Maui for a while — we are so obsessed with it! Check out more of their beautiful wedding photography below!

Congratulations, Caroline & Eric! Mahalo for choosing us as your Maui Four Seasons wedding coordinator!

Stephanie & Michael had a beautiful Maluaka Beach wedding last week! This swoon-worthy couple traveled from Utah to elope on this scenic shoreline, and we’re so glad they did.

Stephanie donned a show-stopping gown, and you have got to see Michael’s reaction when he first sees her in it! Thankfully, Karma Hill Photography was there to capture each priceless moment, and today we’re sharing some of our favorite images.

Check out Stephanie & Michael’s wedding photo sneak peek below!

Our Fabulous Fate

Reverend Richardo officiated Stephanie & Michael’s Hawaiian-style ceremony. He brought humor and emotion to the service, which was a perfect fit for them. They’re a lively and passionate couple, drawn to each other more and more as the years go by.

They met through work. It wasn’t a joyful or romantic place, but their relationship is. So good things can come from drab places.

Their Maluaka Beach Wedding was anything but drab. They brought so much personality and style and were all smiles as they became husband and wife.

Their personal vows had us all laughing and crying, and their wave of excitement washed over all of us when Richardo finally pronounced them married!

They included traditions from the Hawaiian Islands, like a lei exchange and oli aloha.

A Maluaka Beach Wedding for a Maui-Loving Couple

Maui is a special place for Stephanie & Michael. Their wedding trip was their seventh Maui vacation, so it really is a second home for them.

They got engaged nearby at Makena State park and knew they wanted an elopement that was true to them and their adventurous spirits. So they returned to our island for a beautiful, unique, and carefree Hawaii wedding at South Maluaka Beach.

We loved spending this dreamy evening with Stephanie & Michael. And now that they’ve returned home to their fur babies Buddha & Piper, they still have lots to look forward to: settling into their married life, reliving their wedding through their photos, and sharing their exciting elopement story with all their friends and family.

Keep scrolling to see how beautiful their Maluaka Beach Wedding sunset was, and join us in congratulating this stunning couple!

Maui is home to many beautiful wedding venues for a Destination Wedding, and a simple Maluaka Beach Wedding was a stunning choice for Stephanie & Michael. This Wailea beach park has golden white sand and great sunset views!

Maluaka Beach has a grassy area with picnic tables, lava rock and dramatic trees. We love getting portraits in this spot in addition to the ones we get on the sandy beach.

Mahalo, Stephanie & Michael, for choosing us as your elopement coordinator! We loved being a part of your wedding in Maui and can’t wait to see you on the island again!
