There’s something seriously swoon-worthy about a love story that begins in college, weathers a decade of life together (including building a business and raising three very fluffy Huskies), and ends up with barefoot vows in a dreamy Maui elopement!

Cynthia and Nicholas did just that. And let us tell you, it was all kinds of perfect.

After ten years of partnership, laughter, hard work, and weekend hikes (not to mention wrangling their trio of Huskies), these two decided to celebrate their love with something simple, stunning, and totally stress-free. And what better way than eloping in Maui, where the ocean sparkles like sequins, the breeze always feels like it’s on your side, and love just kind of floats through the air? Keep reading, you won’t want to miss this one…

Simple Yet Elegant

They chose Baldwin Beach for their big moment, imagine wide open sands, rolling turquoise waves, and that kind of golden light that makes everything glow. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to take your shoes off and never, ever put them back on.

Which is exactly what they did. Barefoot bliss, Hawaiian edition.

There was no crowd. No schedule. No fancy seating chart or five-tier cake. Just Cynthia and Nicholas, the sound of the waves, and ten years’ worth of love building up to this quiet, powerful moment. And honestly? That kind of intimacy is as romantic as it gets.

Beginning Our Next Chapter

And when we say they looked happy, we mean that glowing, unbothered, completely-in-their-element kind of happy that can only come from knowing you’ve just made the best decision of your life. Twice, once in college, and once again here, on a beach in paradise.

Their love is rooted in years of shared dreams, hard work, and adventure. But that’s what made their elopement so beautiful. It wasn’t a beginning, it was a celebration of everything they’d already built together with sandy feet and a salty “I, do.” It was relaxed and so them in every way…

They laughed, they kissed, they walked hand-in-hand along the shoreline like the whole beach belonged to them, which, in that moment, it kind of did. Our photographer captured every second of it: the easy joy on their faces, the way Nicholas looked at Cynthia like she was the only thing in the world, the wind dancing through her hair as if Maui itself was celebrating with them. We love how effortless they look, so at ease with one another and soaking up the present moment…

Congratulations, Cynthia and Nicholas! Your Maui elopement was romantic, relaxed, and just so… you. We loved capturing the magic of your barefoot “I do,” and we can’t wait to see where your next decade of love (and dogs, and hiking, and bliss) takes you.

There’s something deeply poetic about meeting someone in the middle of your story. 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 of a global pandemic as a hospital nurse when their paths finally crossed in the spring of 2021. As all great modern love stories go, it started with mutual friends, a little spark, and, eventually, a sunset proposal in Jamaica.

So when it came time to plan their Maui beach wedding, they didn’t want anything flashy. No ballrooms or overly decorated venues. They wanted beauty. Simplicity. A setting that spoke for itself. And honestly? They found it, on the golden shores of D.T. Fleming Beach in Maui.

Lauren had never been to Hawaii before, but she had always dreamed of it. Josef had only seen Kauai years ago, but Maui? This was a first for both of them. And what a stunning way to be introduced to it, by pledging forever at the edge of the ocean, surrounded by soft sand, a gentle breeze, and just enough cloud cover to make the sky feel dramatic in all the right ways.

Beautiful Moments To Remember

Their Maui beach wedding was intimate, quiet in the best way. No distractions. Just them, the sound of the waves rolling in, and a promise sealed with barefoot kisses and full hearts. The beach, with its windswept palms and sun-dappled surf, was all the décor they needed. When love looks that effortless, nature knows how to take a step back and let it shine.

Lauren was absolutely radiant, glowing not just with Maui sun but with the kind of warmth that comes from knowing you’re exactly where you’re meant to be. Josef, ever the steady calm to her sunshine, looked dashing in the way someone does when they know they’ve found their forever.

After the “I dos,” they lingered on the beach. They soaked it in. The sky softened into pastel shades, and they held hands, barefoot in the sand, laughing and glowing like people who know the best adventure is the one they just began. You could feel it in the air—that this wasn’t just a ceremony. It was a chapter, a moment stitched into their story with salt air and sand between their toes.

Congratulations, Lauren and Josef! Your Maui beach wedding was everything it needed to be, simple, soulful, and full of joy. Here’s to many more sunsets, road trips, and boat rides together… and to a love that continues to feel like the best kind of home.

Some couples plan a Maui elopement with spreadsheets, vision boards, and Pinterest rabbit holes. Danielle and Harry? They went with sunshine, simplicity, a flower circle, and a little slice of Hawaiian paradise. Honestly, we approve.

These two are both nurses (yes, real-life superheroes), and after long shifts and saving lives, they’ve earned the right to say “I do” with their toes in the sand and the ocean in the background. And that’s exactly what they did, on their very first trip to Hawaii, no less!

Their elopement took place at Polo Beach, a hidden gem on Maui’s sunny southwest shore that basically looks like it was pulled from a postcard. With golden sand, gentle waves, it was the perfect setting for their “just us” kind of day.

Irreplaceable Moments

Danielle and Harry knew they didn’t want a big wedding. No color-coded seating charts or cake tastings for these two. What they wanted was simple, beautiful, and meaningful, and wow, did they nail it. With the Pacific Ocean stretching out behind them and the sky doing that cotton-candy sunset thing Hawaii does so well, they exchanged vows that were full of love, laughter, and just a few happy tears.

And though they didn’t have a guest list a mile long, they weren’t completely alone. Their sweet pup might not have been able to make the trip, but it’s safe to say they carried a piece of their fur baby with them in spirit. Their elopement was beautiful and just what they envisioned.

After their Maui elopement ceremony, Danielle and Harry soaked in the moment, barefoot and glowing with post-”I do” joy. They strolled along the shoreline, wrapped in each other and a breeze that couldn’t have been better if we’d ordered it ourselves. There were no distractions, just laughter, a lot of hand-holding, and that kind of contentment that comes from knowing you just married your favorite person in the world.

They ended the day exactly how you’d expect two nature-loving, travel-obsessed, dog-devoted, slightly-sandy newlyweds to: watching the sun dip below the horizon, side by side, already dreaming of what comes next. Maybe a hike, maybe a dog-filled reunion back home, but definitely together!

Congratulations, Danielle and Harry! Your Maui elopement was everything a wedding should be joyful, authentic, and beautifully you. Here’s to a lifetime of adventures, sunset strolls, and cuddles with your pup. And if every anniversary involves a little sand between your toes and a lot of love? Even better. Enjoy the rest of your time in Hawaii!

You know that trope in romantic comedies where two people with wildly different hobbies fall madly in love and somehow make it all work? That’s Taylor and Andrew. She rides majestic dressage horses with the kind of poise that would make even a Disney princess feel underdressed. He rolls around (gracefully, we assume) in Jiu-Jitsu classes. Together? They’re the perfect blend of grit, grace, and romance and they tied the knot under dreamy plumeria trees.

Let’s rewind just a bit. Taylor and Andrew met through mutual friends (thank you, universe)! And eventually found themselves engaged on a literal cliff in the Arkansas Ozark Mountains. Yes, a cliff. With panoramic views and enough drama to rival any Jane Austen adaptation. Which, frankly, set the bar pretty high for their Maui wedding venue.

But Taylor had never been to Hawaii before and if you’re going to choose a place for your first-ever Hawaiian experience, it might as well be Maui, right? Andrew had been before and together they decided, hey, let’s get married AND honeymoon here. One flight. Double the magic!

A First Look

Their wedding at the Four Seasons Maui was nothing short of cinematic. Beneath swaying plumeria trees and with the ocean humming gently in the background, Taylor and Andrew exchanged vows that had everyone swooning. But before all that? There was a first look.

And oh, the first look.

Let’s just say there were happy tears, big smiles, and that ineffable moment when time pauses, not because you told it to, but because the universe saw something too beautiful to rush. It was intimate and sweet and one of those “you had to be there” moments, except lucky for us… there were photos.

A Romantic Tropical Setting

The ceremony itself? Straight out of a fairytale, if the fairytale took place in Maui and featured a happy couple saying “I do” under the most romantic canopy of plumeria trees you’ve ever seen. Plumeria Point at the Four Seasons isn’t just a location—it’s a feeling. With the Pacific sparkling in the distance, soft petals drifting on the breeze, and sunlight filtering through the trees like nature’s own spotlight, it was the kind of setting that made everyone collectively sigh.

Taylor walked toward Andrew with that once-in-a-lifetime kind of glow, and he looked at her like he already knew he’d just made the best decision of his life. The intimacy of the moment, the gentle hush of the ocean in the background, and the fragrance of plumeria in the air, it all felt like Maui itself was giving them its blessing.

From cliffside proposals to sun-soaked vows in Hawaii, Taylor and Andrew’s love story feels like a dream you’d want to live in. One filled with horses and Jiu-Jitsu mats, publishing projects and stable boots, laughter, devotion, and now, plenty of beachy memories as newlyweds.

Congratulations, Taylor and Andrew! Your Maui wedding was as joyful, meaningful, and effortlessly beautiful as the love you share. Here’s to many more sunsets and adventures together! Enjoy your honeymoon!

Let’s start with the obvious: Leila and Asa are ridiculously in love. Like, heart-eyes-across-the-room, finishing-each-other’s-sentences, “we do devotionals together and also crush Netflix” in love. And when a love like that lands on the golden shores of Hawaii? Well, an enchanting Maui beach wedding happens.

Leila is a pro nail tech with eight years of experience and the kind of boss energy that opens up her own business. Asa, a personal trainer with a big heart had been secretly smitten too when she sent him a note at the gym to text her. And his reaction to that note? One word: “ABSOLUTELY.” Yes, in all caps. The rest is history!

Fast-forward past the gym glances and the on-call shifts and we land here: on Polo Beach, in Maui, surrounded by a close-knit group of loved ones, with the most romantic circle of seaside baubles arranged perfectly in the sand. The sun? Shining. The water? Sparkling. The vibe? Dreamy and intimate and filled with love. Exactly what Leila and Asa had envisioned. Keep reading to see more of these two lovebird’s incredible day!

They said “I do” with the ocean behind them, the waves cheering them on, and their closest friends and family holding space for all the love that’s brought them here and the life they’re building next. It was sweet. Sacred. So them.

Let’s talk fashion: Asa looked seriously sharp in a light blue suit, giving tropical prince energy. Leila? Absolutely stunning. Like, stop-everything, heart-flip gorgeous. Her dress flowed in the breeze like it was part of the ocean itself, and the look in Asa’s eyes when he saw her? Let’s just say, no amount of gym training could’ve prepared him for that kind of emotional lift.

Moments Like This

Afterward, we stole them away for sunset portraits that had everything: golden light, crashing waves, silhouettes that belong on the cover of a romance novel. And through it all, Leila and Asa couldn’t stop smiling at each other, whispering little things, hands always reaching for the other. Like they were the only two people on the beach and in some ways, they were. Aren’t they such a gorgeous couple?

Their love is playful and deep, grounded in faith and fierce loyalty. They’re homebodies, sure. But their kind of love? It deserves beaches, sunsets, and moments like this. Their love story makes us believe in true love and fate encounters…

Congratulations, Leila and Asa. You brought your love to paradise and made it even more beautiful. We’ll never forget your story! We send you all the love and blessings for the decades ahead!

Some love stories begin with fireworks. Others, like Tom and Crystal’s and their Maui beach wedding, unfold like a classic novel, quietly, steadily, and with the kind of soul-deep knowing that makes you believe in fate. Because when you meet at work forty years ago and still look at each other like you’re sharing a secret, you know it’s the real thing.

Tom, a financial advisor with an eye for details (and apparently, great suits), and Crystal, a business consultant who helps leadership teams thrive. And, after a decades-long journey together, full of laughter, partnership, and many, many trips to Mau, it felt only fitting to say “I do” in the place they’ve returned to for thirty years: the windswept cliffs of Ironwoods Beach.

It was the most beautiful day as you’ll see below!

You, Me & Maui

The whole day radiated this kind of quiet, intentional elegance. Nothing fussy. Nothing overdone. Just timeless beauty in every direction. The breeze off the ocean, soft and salty. The sky, dreamy and expansive, like it was giving them a Hawaiian blessing. The kind of setting where you don’t need decorations because Maui is the decoration.

Crystal looked radiant, a vision of graceful beauty and elegant poise. Her dress was the kind that moved gently in the breeze and made everyone pause and say, “Wow.” Tom, ever the dapper gentleman, wore a pinstripe seersucker suit so sharp and handsome. Together, they looked like a couple straight out of a coastal romance novel, chic, composed, and utterly in love.

But here’s what made their wedding unforgettable: it wasn’t just a ceremony. It was a celebration of a life already deeply lived together. A moment of saying “yes” again, not just to each other, but to all the years that brought them to this point and all the years still ahead. The way they looked at one another, with this blend of comfort and spark, made everyone watching (including us!) feel like we were witnessing something sacred.

They stood barefoot on the sand, the waves just behind them and loved ones nearby, they said “I do.” And it couldn’t have been any more sacred or beautiful…

Their Maui beach wedding was romantic. It was beautiful. It was relaxed, tasteful, and so very them. And when the ceremony ended, the newlyweds lingered in the soft light of the evening, wrapped in each other’s arms, soaking in the moment, two hearts that had waited, worked, and chosen each other every day.

So here’s to Tom and Crystal, a love story built to last, and a wedding day that was nothing short of unforgettable.

Congratulations, you two. You’ve shown us all how beautiful love can be when it’s nurtured over time and sealed with the ocean breeze.

Let’s talk about fate and a Maui venue wedding. Not the cosmic, shooting stars, “I knew it when I saw them across the room” kind of fate. No, I’m talking about potsticker fate. The kind where you’re a little tipsy, it’s way past midnight, and you hand a stranger a steaming dumpling as a parting gift — and then, boom. You accidentally meet the love of your life.

That’s exactly how it started for this adorably introverted, karaoke-loving, sushi-obsessed couple. A potsticker. A mutual friend. And Arnell, who knew immediately that there was something special about her. She, on the other hand, was in her “I’m staying single, thanks” era. But Arnell? Persistent. Kind. Low-key charming. And eventually, very, very successful.

Flash forward past sweet moments, shared omakase meals, and a proposal so romantic it could be a Nicholas Sparks novel (yellow-themed surprise beach picnic? coordinated photographer? yellow roses and swan towel animals?!), and we arrive here: a breathtaking wedding at Merriman’s Kapalua on Maui…

An Intimate Celebration

The whole day felt like one long exhale, the kind where everything just makes sense. Their decision to swap a high-effort backyard wedding for a Maui destination celebration? Best idea ever! Not only did it mean less stress and more fun, it gave them something they truly value: a day focused on joy, love, and connection. And of course, aloha! Their Maui venue wedding was an intimate celebration of love, joy, and commitment. It meant the world to them to have their loved ones present.

With their closest people surrounding them, they laughed, hugged, and promised forever. The celebration was intimate but full of energy and brimming with love. They snuck away for some newlywed portraits that surely will leave anyone’s jaw on the floor! From the peaceful blue sky to a sunset that looked straight out of a postcard, the scenery was impossibly photogenic, only outshined by this gorgeous couple!

From San Diego to Oahu to Maui, these two have written a love story filled with shared playlists, quiet nights, and joyful chaos. They balance each other beautifully, have a room that is apparently never quiet (thanks, gaming + karaoke), and now they have a marriage as grounded and joyful as the island they chose to celebrate on.

Congratulations, you two. Your day was magic. Your love is magic. And we’re so happy to have captured every golden, windswept, wonderfully Maui moment.

Some love stories move fast—whirlwinds of romance and spontaneity. But Grace and Joseph? Theirs is a slow burn. A steady, thoughtful kind of love that has spanned over a decade, grown through every season of life, and finally brought them to a sunlit stretch of sand on DT Fleming Beach in Maui for a wedding that was nothing short of magical.

Grace, a powerhouse Retail Store Manager for the past ten years, met Joseph back in 2009 when they were both working at the same mall in Hayward, California. By early 2010, they knew—like really knew—that they were each other’s person. But they were also practical. In their early twenties, they weren’t in a rush. Life was unfolding. College needed finishing. Careers needed building. So, they held off—but never let go…

A Lifetime Ahead

In 2012, Joseph proposed in the sweetest, most understated way possible—at home in Monterey, in a space already filled with love and shared memories. And over the years that followed, they continued to support each other through everything: Grace’s incredible career longevity, and Joseph’s rise in the tech world, working for the likes of Apple, Tesla, and Google. No biggie! Joseph is driven, hopeful, and ready to bring his experience to a new chapter with the love of his life by his side.

So when it came time to finally say “I do,” there was only one place that felt right: Hawaii. The islands were a favorite destination for each of them before they met—so it felt serendipitous that Hawaii would now become the place they started their forever, together.

Their wedding at DT Fleming Beach was effortlessly stunning. The setting? Absolutely breathtaking. Soft sand stretching toward the turquoise Pacific, gentle waves humming in the background, and the golden light that Maui seems to save for its most romantic moments. It wasn’t about grandeur. It was about meaning. About the years they’d already shared, and the promises they were now ready to make in front of the sea.

Grace looked radiant—calm, confident, and glowing with happiness. Joseph stood beside her with the look of someone who’s just found his peace, his purpose, and the love of his life—all in one.

It was simple. It was heartfelt. And it was so them.

They exchanged vows surrounded by Maui’s quiet beauty, with nature as their witness and years of memories behind every word. It was a day that didn’t just celebrate a love story, it honored every chapter that came before it.

Congratulations, Grace and Joseph. Your Maui beach wedding was the perfect tribute to your journey: patient, powerful, and absolutely unforgettable.

There are some weddings that are so perfectly aligned with a couple’s energy, you’d think the universe personally RSVP’d. That’s exactly what it felt like at Angel and Julymar’s Maui beach wedding—simple, elegant, meaningful, and entirely them. No frills, no crowds. Just the ocean, the breeze, a stretch of soft sand, and two people madly in love.

The scene? Baldwin Beach in all its quiet glory—light, airy, and washed in the softest shades of pastel. The sky was a blend of blush, pale blue, and buttery sunlight. The waves in the background added a touch of magic to the scene…

Angel and Julymar stood hand in hand, dressed in stunning, all-white ensembles that looked like they were designed by a very fashionable breeze. Julymar wore a breathtaking off-the-shoulder gown, flowing and elegant and impossibly romantic. And Angel vision in a crisp white suit that mirrored her look in the most striking, complementary way. They looked incredible. The kind of couple you see and instantly know—this is something special…

All That Matters

And it really was all about them. No distractions. No guest lists or speeches. Just two people making the most meaningful promise of their lives, alone together on a wide-open beach that felt like it belonged only to them. That kind of stillness? That kind of intimacy? It’s rare. And it’s powerful.

There was something beautifully light about the entire day—like love itself was tangible in the air. Their laughter was easy. Their smiles were constant. And the way they looked at each other? Soft. Knowing. Like they’d been waiting for this moment, and now it was here, and they were ready.

Their wedding photography captured that mood perfectly. Pastel tones, gentle light, and a focus on the candid moments that made the day feel so real. The way Julymar reached for Angel’s hand. The quiet look between them after they said “I do.” The glow in their eyes that said, without a single word, finally.

And the best part? They had the entire expanse of Baldwin Beach for their intimate ceremony. The white sand stretching out in every direction felt like a blank page—one they were now filling with their story, together. Watching just the two of them speak their vows, with nothing but the ocean as their witness, was deeply moving. It wasn’t just a ceremony. It was a moment carved in time these love birds will always cherish.

To Angel and Julymar: congratulations on a wedding that was as graceful and luminous as the love you share. You reminded us all that sometimes, all it takes is the right person, the right place, and a little breeze off the Pacific to make something truly unforgettable.

Let’s set the scene: Southside Beach, the waves rolling in like applause, a warm breeze doing that swooshy thing through palm trees, and Kevin and Tracy standing barefoot in the sand, completely and utterly in love. And surrounding them? Their six amazing kids—grinning, cheering, and fully embracing the aloha vibes.

This wasn’t just a Maui beach wedding. This was the moment—a celebration that felt like a deep exhale, a “we made it” wrapped in sunlight. Kevin and Tracy wanted something special, something true to their story. And with their family by their side and Maui’s magic in the air, they had exactly that.

Everything about the day felt meaningful. Family-oriented and heartfelt in the best, most real way. Sweet glances between Kevin and Tracy. The kids playing in the sand between portraits. Laughter echoing over the shoreline. It was love, loud and joyous and full of life!

Coming Together As One

There were tender moments—Tracy wiping a tear as she looked at her husband-to-be, Kevin smiling so wide it looked like he might float. But there was also so much fun. They let loose. They laughed. And they soaked in the Maui sunset like they knew this day would live in their hearts forever. It was a family-orientated celebration that was so meaningful that you could feel it in their warmth and their smiles.

And let’s talk about the lighting—gorgeous. The beach, the breeze, the golden glow… every photo looked like a postcard from paradise. It was intimate and elegant all at once!

Kevin and Tracy’s Southside Beach wedding was a radiant reminder that love isn’t just about two people—it’s about the family you create, the joy you share, and the magic of being together in the moment. Truly the most amazing day!

Okay, imagine this: the crashing waves of Ironwoods Beach, the softest golden light curling around two very happy humans, and one perfectly ruffled dress dancing in the wind. That was Phillip and Maria’s Maui beach wedding day, and reader, it was nothing short of magic.

Now, this wasn’t your average “first time down the aisle” kind of event. No, no. This is Phillip and Maria second chance at love with just the two of them. With love, laughter, and the most glorious landscape these two deserve!

They met at work, back when Maria was charming everyone at her company before retiring, and Phillip was solving mysteries and keeping everyone on their toes. Eight years of dating later—yes, eight—Maria wasn’t surprised when Phillip proposed, but the ring? That one totally caught her off guard. Well played, sir.

Together, they’ve built a beautiful life in the Pacific Northwest filled with dogs, walks, workouts, and adult sons (four between them!). But on this day, it was just them—and it was glorious.

Now let’s talk wedding photography. First of all, Phillip in a blue suit? Peak ocean-handsome. And Maria absolutely glowed in a dreamy ruffled gown that billowed with every salty breeze. She looked radiant—joyful, confident, and completely in love.

Their photos? Think light-drenched romance, soft pastels, and an epic Ironwoods cliffside backdrop that honestly deserves its own agent. Every frame radiates This is what happiness looks like.

So here’s to second chances, Maui magic, and love stories that get even better with time. Congrats, Phillip and Maria—you did it your way, and it was perfect.

Let us just start by saying: if love had a color, it would be the exact shade of the Maui sunset the night Jennifer and Alex said “I do” at their Maui venue wedding. You know the one—soft peach melting into coral with a splash of gold that makes everything look like it’s been dipped in a romantic filter. That was their light. That was their moment. And oh wow, it was perfect.

Jennifer, a brilliant oncology nurse with the kind of heart that could hug the whole planet, met Alex—construction manager and tennis enthusiast—on Hinge during the weird, wobbly chaos of COVID. (Proof that even a global pandemic can’t stop fate when it has plans.) Three years, countless walks, workouts, rollerblading afternoons, and deep love later, he proposed next to a sparkling lake in Chicago with the skyline as their witness. Romantic, right?

Their wedding at the Andaz Maui was the embodiment of everything they cherish: nature, beauty, meaningful connection, and a little ocean breeze to carry the magic. Before the ceremony, they shared a first look that was straight out of a movie. Alex stood waiting—nervous, excited, completely smitten and he turned around? The way his face lit up… it said everything! It was private, powerful, and absolutely unforgettable. It was a moment they both will never ever forget! Curious to see more of their amazing day? Keep reading!

Personal & Perfect

And then came the ceremony. Surrounded by their favorite people, they exchanged vows with the sea behind them, the wind whispering blessings, and the light turning them into a postcard. Jennifer looked stunning in a lace dress that honestly deserved its own standing ovation, and Alex in his sharp tux? He looked like the ever perfect gentleman.

They laughed, they cried, they glowed. Their Maui venue wedding ceremony was all the feels. It couldn’t have been any more perfect or personal. From the stunning setting on the lawn to the serene beach beyond, it was everything they dreamt of and more!

And as the sun dipped low, casting everything in that once-in-a-lifetime golden haze, they took their first portraits as husband and wife. The kind of portraits that make you believe in love stories and happy endings and the power of a well-timed sunset. And how gorgeous is her bouquet?! It’s the same colors as the amazing sunset! Picture perfect.

To Jennifer and Alex: congrats on your epic Maui wedding! May your love always feel like that first look—filled with awe, intimacy, and a whole lot of joy. And may every walk, every adventure, every tennis match or rollerblade ride, be just another chapter in your beautiful, shared story.
