There’s something extraordinary about getting married in Hawaii, a feeling that can’t quite be put into words but can be felt in every ocean breeze, every golden sunset, every soft laugh carried over the sound of the waves. For Tia and Antasia, their Maui venue wedding at the Outrigger Ka’anapali Beach Resort was more than just a ceremony; it was the beginning of forever, wrapped in the spirit of aloha.
The Outrigger Ka’anapali Beach Resort offered the perfect blend of intimacy and island grandeur, ocean views that stretched endlessly, palm trees swaying gently above, and a salty sweetness in the air that seemed to bless every moment. Hawaii has this way of slowing everything down, letting love take center stage. It’s why so many couples choose it, not just for its beauty, but for its energy. There’s a deep, natural magic here that makes every “I do” feel sacred. So we were more than excited to be a part of Tia and Anastasia’s beautiful day! Keep reading to see more!





Surrounded by their loved ones, Tia and Antasia exchanged heartfelt vows beneath a stunning driftwood arch adorned with tropical blooms. They both were utterly radiant! You could feel the love in every glance they shared and every burst of laughter from their guests.
What made this day even more special was the presence of their closest family and friends, the people who had supported them, cheered for them, and celebrated them every step of the way. The laughter was genuine, the hugs were long, and the joy was radiant. It was one of those weddings that reminded everyone present what love truly looks like: calm, steady, and full of light.
The Outrigger Ka’anapali Beach Resort offered a setting that matched the heart of their day perfectly, private yet open, serene yet full of life, with the beach just steps away for sunset portraits that glowed like a dream.
















From their first kiss as newlyweds to their romantic portraits along the beach, the day felt effortlessly authentic. They are just two beautiful souls, deeply in love, celebrating in one of the most stunning places on earth.
The golden Maui light wrapped around them like a warm embrace, illuminating every shared glance and soft smile. As they walked hand in hand along the shoreline, the ocean reflected the same calm and radiance they carried, that unmistakable glow of two people completely at peace in love.













As the sun dipped low on the horizon, the light turned a warm, honey-gold, painting the sky in soft shades of blush and amber. Tia and Antasia stood together, bathed in that glowing Maui light, savoring every second of the moment they had dreamed of. They weren’t rushing, posing, or thinking ahead; they were present, soaking in the beauty of their first sunset as newlyweds. It was tender, peaceful, and filled with a quiet kind of joy that only true love brings.
Congratulations to you both! May your lives be forever lit by this same golden warmth and overflowing happiness!

Some love stories are written slowly, in the quiet in-between moments, in hallways between classes, in years spent growing apart and finding your way back. Ethan and Erika’s Maui venue wedding at Gather wasn’t just a celebration of their love; it was the culmination of years of resilience, faith, and choosing each other, again and

Some love stories take their time, steady, patient, and all the stronger for it. Michelle and William’s Maui venue wedding at the Royal Lahaina Resort was exactly that kind of day: full of joy, laughter, and a deep sense of finally, we’re here.
They met eight years ago and got engaged on a California beach three years ago. Life moved fast, new jobs, new state, new adventures, and the wedding plans waited patiently in the wings. But when the timing finally felt right, everything fell into place. The best part? Michelle’s sister was getting married the day before, so the entire family was already on the island, ready to keep the celebration going.
Both Michelle and Will work as train conductors, a life that keeps them busy and always in motion. Their son, Billy, is their greatest joy, and together, the three of them fill their days with family time, laughter, and the simple happiness of being together. We were thrilled to bring their special day to life, so keep reading to see more of their unforgettable celebration!







Their Maui wedding day was everything they hoped it would be: relaxed, full of love, and surrounded by the people who matter most. The Royal Lahaina Resort set the perfect scene, with tropical vibes, ocean breeze, and an atmosphere that made everyone feel at home. Their ceremony was simple, elegant, and beautiful. It focused on their love, commitment, and their sacred promise to one another. No fluff, no distractions from their love.









After the ceremony, they wandered the Royal Lahaina property for their newlywed portraits, glowing in that warm Maui light. Every tropical corner offered another perfect backdrop. Michelle looked radiant in a lace gown with a flowing veil that caught the breeze just right. Will, in his island-inspired look, was the definition of easy-breezy Hawaiian cool. Together, they looked completely at ease, two people exactly where they were meant to be.













As the evening faded, they made their way down to the beach, where the ocean glowed under the sunset. Those final portraits, barefoot, smiling, completely in love, captured everything the day stood for: family, joy, and the beauty of forever.


Congratulations, Michelle and William! Your Maui venue wedding was pure happiness from start to finish!

Mitzie and Jason’s Maui elopement wasn’t about pomp or grandeur, it was about family, joy, and the quiet kind of magic that comes when love grows slowly and meaningfully. They met because of their daughters. Keiko and Gemma, both spirited 7-year-olds, were best friends in preschool, the kind of best friends who clearly know more

Ready for a heartwarming Maui venue wedding? Some love stories begin quietly; others begin with a playful warning, like your uncle telling you not to date one of his soccer players. Christina didn’t exactly follow that advice… and thank goodness she didn’t! Because that player was Giovanny, the man who would become her partner, her best friend, and eventually, her husband.
Their story began in Orange County, where Christina first spotted Giovanny at her cousin’s soccer game. She thought he was cute (because, of course), reached out, and asked him out. Eleven years later, after a haunted ship date on the Queen Mary, endless laughter, a pandemic, and raising their beautiful daughter Rosaly, they said “I do” in paradise!





Their Maui venue wedding at Gather felt like the perfect reflection of their love, bright, joyful, and grounded in shared history. You could feel their happiness, that deep, peaceful kind that comes from growing together through every season of life.
The beach has always been Christina’s happy place. Standing barefoot beside Giovanny, the man who has made her feel safe and seen for over a decade, fulfilled her dream. The moment felt simple and heartfelt, overflowing with the pure joy of being exactly where they were meant to be.

















Their Maui wedding at Gather was everything they dreamed of! Their ceremony was radiant, relaxed, and full of people who had loved and supported them through every chapter. Family and friends flew across the ocean to be part of their day, and you could feel that love everywhere. There was laughter between vows and the kind of joy that only comes when you’re surrounded by the people who helped shape your journey.
And of course, their flower girl was their five-year-old daughter, Rosaly, the light of their lives. Christina and Giovanny’s connection is built on shared adventures, music, and mutual respect. It’s a blend of her lively spirit and his calm presence. Together, they’ve built a life full of movement, laughter, and family. And their wedding felt like the perfect reflection of that balance.


And next up: beach portraits because this spot is what they both were really waiting for! We couldn’t help but be moved by how natural and easy their connection felt. Their beach portraits were full of laughter, quiet looks, and those unspoken moments that say everything.
Christina and Giovanny remind us that love doesn’t have to be perfect to be beautiful. It just has to be real. And on that golden Maui evening, surrounded by ocean air and family love, theirs couldn’t have been more perfect. Their dream of a Hawaii wedding came true and couldn’t have been more perfect!

















Congratulations, Christina and Giovanny!
What an incredible celebration of love, laughter, and family! From your beautiful story that began on a soccer field to your stunning wedding day in Maui, every moment reflected the deep connection you share.

If fairy tales had ocean views and island breezes, Jennifer and John’s Maui venue wedding at Wailea Beach Resort would be the final chapter.

Traci and Darryle’s Maui elopement was the kind of wedding that makes you breathe a little deeper, smile a little wider, and believe in second chances. Their love story began during difficult chapters, and over the last four years, friendship turned into the kind of bond that feels both steady and full of joy. When Darryle proposed over dinner at a steakhouse, it wasn’t flashy, but it was honest and full of love. And really, that’s exactly what defines them.
Choosing Maui felt effortless. They’d both been before, fallen in love with the island’s quiet beauty, and knew this was the place they wanted to begin their married life together. No over-the-top fanfare, no stress, just the two of them, a stretch of sand, and the sound of the ocean as their soundtrack…does it get any more romantic than that? Find out for yourself!



The photos say everything: the way they look at one another or how they walk barefoot, hand in hand, their smiles brighter than the golden Maui sunset. Darryle looked incredible in a white suit with a bold pop of purple, regal and relaxed all at one, while Traci was stunning in a lace gown, holding orchids with ribbons catching the breeze. Together, they radiated elegance, simplicity, and ease.
Their ceremony felt timeless, just like the best love stories. There were lei exchanges, heartfelt vows, and the kind of joy that fills the air when two people know they’ve found peace and home in each other. Now, with grown children, Traci and Darryle are entering this new chapter fully present, ready for jazz music, good cigars, travel, and laughter shared with the one person who makes life even sweeter. Finally meeting the love of your life? It doesn’t get any sweeter than that.















The airy glow of Polo Beach framed them perfectly, highlighting Traci’s gorgeous gown and Darryle’s sharp white suit with that unforgettable pop of purple. Barefoot on the sand, hand in hand, they looked both elegant and completely at ease, like Maui was always meant to be part of their love story.
What makes these portraits so special is how natural they feel, no stiff poses, just two people savoring the sweetness of being newly married. Their smiles, the way they lean into each other, and the way their eyes say you’re my everything, it all feels timeless. The kind of images that will always bring them right back to this day, this beach, this love.





















Congratulations, Traci and Darryle! Your Maui elopement was a beautiful reflection of your love: elegant, peaceful, and unforgettable. We wish you nothing but the best. You deserve all the love and joy in your future together!

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,

Some weddings feel like a warm hug, and Allison and Bob’s Maui venue wedding was exactly that. Set against the lush, timeworn charm of the Rustic Hawaiian Ruins, this celebration was filled with golden light, joyful laughter, and the kind of love that feels solid, real, and full of sparkle.
Let’s talk about these two: Allison is a powerhouse litigator with a brilliant smile and a heart as fierce as it is kind. Bob is a security director who’s equal parts grounded and grinning. Together? An unstoppable duo. They’ve shared many adventures (including multiple trips to Maui, favorites include Makena Landing and Charlie Young Beach), but this one? This one was forever.
The ceremony was tender and intimate, with friends and family gathered close under the sun. You could feel the love from every direction, especially from Allison’s daughter Katie, who looked absolutely radiant alongside her mom. And the way Bob looked at Allison? Swoon. Like he already knew, he hit the jackpot.




It was one of those Maui days where everything just works, the breeze was soft, the florals were vibrant, and the joy was uncontainable. Allison’s lace dress glowed in the light, her bouquet a riot of island color, and Bob beamed like the luckiest guy on Earth.
This was their special day and was made even more beautiful by the gorgeous setting at Rustic Hawaiian Ruins.


Tucked into the greenery and kissed by the Hawaiian sun, the Rustic Hawaiian Ruins are a hidden gem. The historic stone walls are blanketed in vines and framed by swaying palms, creating a backdrop that feels both sacred and relaxed, like nature itself showed up in formalwear for the occasion. There’s a quiet reverence in the space, like the island is holding its breath to witness something truly special.
And special it was. Allison, graceful and radiant in her lace dress, held a bouquet bursting with tropical blooms that echoed the colors all around her. Bob, beaming with that “I get to marry her” energy, looked so at home among the trees and old stones. Together, they said “I do” in one of the most magical corners of Maui, surrounded by their closest friends and family.














The newlyweds snuck away for some portraits, and they turned out beautifully! Can we talk about all the details? From Allison’s lace dress, her tropical flowers, Bob’s intricate lei, and the light! The light was so incredible! This is exactly what we mean by Maui magic. The lighting for their Maui venue wedding portraits was all the feels, and we are here for it all! Talk about newlywed glow!











Mahalo, Allison and Bob, for choosing this enchanting place to say “I do.” Your love lit up the beach and filled the air with aloha. What a beautiful chapter in a story that’s only just beginning! Congratulations!

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
[...]

Okay, but imagine this: you’re in Maui, standing on the edge of the world where the ocean kisses the sky, and you’re about to marry the man who once made your palms sweat during a tattoo appointment. Yes. That’s how it started for Kayla and Tyson, and yes, their Maui venue wedding is even more romantic than it sounds.
Kayla wasn’t expecting to fall for the artist behind the ink, especially not someone with dreamy green eyes and a smile that could melt steel. But the universe had other plans. A few months later, Tyson asked her out. One date turned into forever. And five years later, he proposed during a walk in the park, and they welcomed their little girl in the world just days later. And their love story added a brand new chapter: Nyla, their sassy, sunshine-y daughter who’s been ruling the house (and the dogs) ever since. Their day was so special and just what they imagined for their dream day…



They’ve visited Maui many times, once before Nyla, and three times after. It’s their soul place. Scenic, welcoming, full of beauty and spirit. So when it came time to say “I do,” Merriman’s in Maui was the obvious choice. Ocean views, glowing light, and an atmosphere that felt like home.
Their wedding was intimate, elegant, and full of love. Surrounded by close family and friends, they exchanged vows with tears and laughter and flower petals on the breeze. Their portraits? Stunning. Think golden hour light spilling across the beach, veil dancing in the wind, and Tyson looking at Kayla like a real-life romance novel cover. She looked radiant, timeless. He looked smitten. Every photo felt like a moment suspended in time.







Their wedding at Merriman’s was every bit as heartfelt and cinematic as their origin story. Surrounded by loved ones and panoramic ocean views, they exchanged vows beneath swaying palms and the soft Hawaiian sun. It felt intimate, deeply personal, like the island itself was wrapping them in a giant, loving lei.
And then came the photography. Our kind of photography. The kind that doesn’t just pose, it feels. We focused on capturing every in-between moment: Tyson’s proud, awe-struck gaze as Kayla walked down the aisle. Kayla’s radiant smile as she slipped that ring on his finger. The way they said “I do” with all the love in their hearts, written on their faces…









But the real magic happened after the ceremony, when we took them to the beach just below Merriman’s. The golden hour light was straight out of a dream, warm, glowing, wrapped in salt-kissed breeze. Kayla’s veil caught the wind just right, Tyson’s arms wrapped protectively around her, and together they were so present and in the moment. Every photo was a love letter, soft, romantic, a little wild, and completely authentic. It doesn’t get any more dreamier than this, does it?!
These portraits weren’t just pretty; they told a story. A Maui love story written by a tattoo artist and a math teacher… with their daughter, their dogs, and the ocean as witnesses.

















It was a day that was purely them, romantic, coastal, heartfelt. And honestly? We’ll be dreaming about it forever. Congratulations, you two! It was an honor to create your dream wedding in a place that means the world to you.

Let’s set the scene: golden hour on Po’olenalena Beach, the waves rolling in soft and slow, and a breeze that somehow knew it was carrying something big. Douglas had a plan, a really beautiful one, for their Maui proposal. He led Lourdes down the beach, pretending they were just out for a casual sunset stroll.

If you’re wondering what it looks like when love, laughter, and lava rocks collide in the dreamiest possible way, meet John and Charity. These two are the definition of soulmates-who-love-sand-between-their-toes. They said “I do” at their Maui elopement, and honestly? It was elegant, heartfelt, and beachy in the best kind of way.
John is an electrician (with a bear hug that could probably power a small town), and Charity works for the state of California (we’re talking organized, radiant, and with the smile of a woman who knows she just made the best decision of her life). Together, they brought their beautifully blended family to paradise for an unforgettable elopement. And the kind of energy you can only get from a crew that loves dirt bikes, camping, soccer, and adventure. Keep reading to see more of their wonderful day!




Their ceremony was intimate and joyful, with waves crashing in the background and the golden Maui light glowing around them like nature’s own spotlight. Charity looked stunning in her lace gown, barefoot in the sand and glowing with happiness. John, in crisp linen and a maile lei, couldn’t take his eyes off her.
















From their barefoot portraits on the lava rocks (hello, romance novel cover vibes!) to their big family moment full of laughs, kisses, and shakas, this wasn’t just a wedding, it was a celebration of us. Of building a life that feels like home, even when it’s on a beach thousands of miles from it. It was relaxed, it was fun, it was family orientated, it was so them. And that’s all dreamt of! Cue the hugs and cheers!














To John and Charity: may your life together be as epic and joy-filled as your Maui elopement. Mahalo for letting us capture your magic! May you keep dancing, loving, learning, and growing together with peace and happiness in your hearts! Enjoy your time on Maui with your family!

Some promises deserve to be spoken twice, especially when they’ve grown even stronger with time, laughter, and a whole lot of love. Chelsea and Andy’s Maui vow renewal at Maluaka Beach was exactly that: a beautiful celebration of the life they’ve built together, shared with the two little humans who made it even sweeter.
Set against the golden shoreline of South Maui, this day felt like something out of a dream. The waves rolled in the background, the sun wrapped everything in soft light, and Chelsea looked like a boho goddess in her flowing white dress and flower crown (seriously, can we take a moment for that bouquet?). Andy kept it cool and classic in white, with an unmistakable look of a man who knows he hit the jackpot. It was a beautiful evening for such a special moment…





But what made this day truly magical? Their kids.
They stood by their sides, flower crowns and all, a holding bouquet just as vibrant and colorful as the love their parents were reaffirming. Watching them witness their mom and dad say “I still do” was the kind of emotional-wholesome-core-memory moment we live for. It wasn’t just a vow renewal; it was a family milestone.














Maui is made for moments like this. With its stunning sunsets, warm ocean breezes, and spirit of aloha, it’s more than just a backdrop. It’s a reminder to slow down, to breathe in the beauty around you, and to honor the journey you’ve taken, hand in hand.
For Chelsea and Andy, that journey led right back to each other… this time, with sandy toes and hearts full of gratitude.
The light to end their special day was just made to order! It was so golden, light, and airy, and made for the softest and ethereal vibe. Just breathtaking!

















Here’s to love that grows, and the joy of renewing it in Maui style. Congratulations! We wish you many more years of love, laughter, and light! Have an amazing time on Maui with your kiddos!

When you picture a July 4th celebration, you might think: fireworks, flags, BBQ. But this Independence Day? It was all about love, laughter, and two people saying I do on the edge of paradise. Dain and Heather’s Maui venue wedding at Merriman’s was the kind of dreamy, heart-melting magic that feels like it belongs in a Nicholas Sparks novel… if Nicholas Sparks were a little saltier and more obsessed with floral lace gowns.
With the stunning oceanfront property as their backdrop, Dain and Heather gathered with an intimate group of their closest people. The kind of crowd that makes you feel at home even when you’re standing barefoot on the most breathtaking coastline on Earth. The sun filtered through soft clouds, the waves whispered in the background, and then there they were: hand in hand, hearts wide open, exchanging vows just feet from the surf…





Heather looked radiant! Her dress was a floral lace dream with a veil that danced with the wind. Dain wore a light suit and the kind of smile that said, Yep, I’ve waited my whole life for this. Their ceremony at Merriman’s Maui was emotional, grounded, joyful… and filled with that quiet kind of happiness that doesn’t need to be shouted to be felt.














And instead (or maybe in addition!) to fireworks, their ceremony ended with a lovely petal toss by all their guests. And let’s mention everyone got the memo about the red, white, and blue dress code. How fun!
Afterward, they wandered down to the beach for newlywed portraits, the kind where the laughter is real and the kisses are spontaneous. Every photo radiates warmth and connection, like the kind of love you know will last.










It was a celebration not just of freedom, but of finding the person you’re free to be fully yourself with!
Dain and Heather, we’re so honored to have captured this moment. Fireworks optional… your love was sparkly enough! Congratulations!

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!

Some love stories are written like epic novels. Others, like Mike and Jessica’s, feel more like your favorite indie romance: full of heart, a little unexpected, and completely perfect. Their Maui beach wedding was a joyful and meaningful celebration in the best way…
It was everything a wedding should be: joyful, meaningful, a little breezy (thank you, ocean winds), and radiating pure happiness. With close family and friends surrounding them, Mike and Jessica stepped into their next chapter, framed by the island that already held so much of their story.
For Mike, Maui has been a cherished place for years; he grew up visiting Ka’anapali with his family! For Jessica, it holds a deep family connection as well, since her parents were married here years ago. There’s something beautifully full-circle about two people falling in love, building a life together, and returning to a place that’s been quietly weaving itself into both of their stories all along.
Their love story actually started thanks to a well-timed introduction by mutual friends. Mike heard Jessica would be visiting an event in town, and like any self-respecting romantic lead, he showed up, fully intending to meet her. And he did. And the rest, as they say, is history…








Fast forward to DT Fleming Beach, a breathtaking location for their intimate wedding day. The lighting was incredible: bright yet soft, as if the island were showing off just for them. The ocean shimmered behind them, the bluest sky, and their closest loved ones stood nearby as they said “I do.” It was simple, beautiful, and full of meaning, exactly what they had hoped for.








Their newlywed portraits of their Maui beach wedding are priceless, full of emotion and love. Jessica looked absolutely radiant, her gown catching the light with every step, while Mike couldn’t stop smiling (and honestly, who could blame him?). They strolled barefoot along the shoreline, wrapped in that sweet, just-married glow, pausing to laugh, kiss, and savor every second. The way they looked at each other in those moments was tender, joyful, and so completely them.
Mike and Jessica’s love is rooted in so many beautiful things: family, laughter, spirituality, music, tacos (of course), and a shared sense of fun. They’ve built a life that’s full of meaning, with a one-year-old keeping them busy and their hearts full. Watching them celebrate this day, surrounded by people who love them deeply, was nothing short of an honor!







Congratulations, Mike and Jessica! Your Maui wedding was everything a wedding should be: beautiful, emotional, joyful, and your next chapter is already off to an amazing start. Enjoy your time in Hawaii with your family! We wish you nothing but the best!

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!

Josef had already zigzagged across the country, from sunny Orlando to the mountains of Asheville, from Texas heat to Minnesota chill, before he met Lauren. And Lauren, born and raised in a quiet southern Minnesota town, had already braved the front lines
