“Excited, nervous, and in love!” are the feelings Sara and Massimo used to describe their recent Maui beach elopement! And commonly felt, too, we might add! It was a joyous day celebrating their love and a sacred commitment to each other. It was just the two of them, so it felt extra special! Please keep reading to re-live their special day with us …

Their lovely ceremony began at Southside Beach. It was a relaxed, simple, and romantic affair, exactly what they wanted!

We were so excited to photograph their Maui beach elopement because these two love birds were ready to begin their new life together!

Our beautiful newlyweds met at university, and the rest was history! Or eloped on the beach, instead! They loved the idea of getting away, just the two of them, to Hawaii and eloping! We think elopements feel just as romantic as a larger wedding – even more so because it’s just the two of you!

Our beautiful newlyweds had never been to Maui before, but the idea of a Maui elopement was so romantic they couldn’t resist!

These first moments of husband and wife will be forever cherished! Sara looks gorgeous in her flowy, beachy gown. And Massimo looked at her with such adoration it melted our hearts!

We walked further down the beach to capture a few more intimate portraits of their Maui beach elopement. The air was magnetic between these two lovebirds as the ocean waves crashed in the distance…they looked so in love in these photos!

Our beautiful newlyweds savored every second as the sun began to set on the horizon. It was a beautiful ending to their amazing day!

We want to send Sara and Massimo warm congratulations and mahalo for choosing Simple Maui Wedding for your Maui beach elopement! We wish you the very best in the next chapter together!

From The Heart

As they exchanged their heartfelt vows, we couldn’t stop staring at the explosion of color from the tropical arch at the altar! The peaches, pinks, corals, and lemon were the perfect tropical confection that suited Bianca’s bouquet beautifully! Our sweet newlyweds’ Maui venue wedding had the fun, colorful flair of the Hawaiian islands, which made it a joy to photograph…

The venue for their Maui wedding was the grassy knoll at Gannon’s in Kihei. We love this location because it has panoramic ocean views that add to the Hawaiian ambiance! With the tropical arch, swaying palm trees, and ocean views these two had it all!

Showered with heartfelt congratulations and a few tears, we wanted to capture a few portraits of our tropical bride Bianca. She looked exquisite in her creamy, flowy gown! Oveld is one lucky guy!

Oveld’s dusky purple-hued three-piece suit matched the sunset that followed too! We love it when our grooms are bold in their color choices!

Next, we wandered down to the beach for a few intimate newlywed portraits! Southside Beach was a fantastic spot for these private first moments as newlyweds. The sunset was stunning! These two looked so blissfully happy in the photos…

There was a magnetic feeling in the air that day! They were so captivated by each other and savored these quiet moments before joining their friends and family to celebrate!

A warm mahalo to Oveld and Bianca for choosing Karma Hill Photography and Simple Maui Wedding for your Maui venue wedding! It was a privilege to photograph this momentous occasion in your lives together! We hope to see you again soon!

Our gorgeous couple’s ceremony began with the traditional passing of Hawaiian leis…they matched the tropical ambiance perfectly! Valarie’s white orchid lei was the final touch to her stunning lace gown! We were in awe when we saw her arrive — she was glowing! AJ had the biggest smile on his face when he saw her!

For The Rest Of Our Lives – Maui Venue Wedding

As they read their personal and thoughtful vows, their friends and family looked on with such warmth and happiness. We were so moved by their words and deep love for each other. That moment will forever be held in their hearts for the rest of their lives!

And with the waves breaking the distance and Lanai in the background, they shared their first kiss as husband and wife! And what a kiss it was!

Gathered with their nearest and dearest, our delightful newlyweds celebrated in the sunshine! We love the pop of marigold of the bridesmaid’s dresses – they matched the tropical style of her vibrant bouquet!

For their Maui venue wedding, our newlyweds chose Merriman’s in Kapalua, which has terrific ocean views…and sunsets, as you’ll soon see below!

They looked positively happy and so enamored with each other! Valarie’s veil danced in the wind and created a magnetic moment…

AJ looked so handsome in his deep ocean blue suit that complemented the orange hues of her tropical bouquet beautifully…

Our beautiful couple couldn’t resist dancing barefoot in the sand…so romantic!

A few days ago, we had the absolute pleasure of photographing Angela and Thomas’ Maui elopement! It was a simple and lovely celebration that centered around their love and commitment to each other. Elopements are so incredibly moving because all the noise and fanfare are stripped away and what’s left is what truly matters most at the heart of it! So let’s see a few highlights of their precious day…

At The Heart of It All

It was a glorious afternoon; the sun shone on our sweet pair for their Maui elopement. Elopements are the most intimate of nuptial celebrations that leave us deeply moved. You could feel their deep connection and love for each other when they stepped onto the beach! It was a relaxed, carefree ambiance that was so fitting for our lovely couple. At the heart of it, they wanted something simple centered around just the two. It was so beautiful to witness!

The Look of Love

When they exchanged their leis, Angela looked at Tom with such warmth and love, as you can see below. It took us aback as if they were the only two in the world! That makes a Maui elopement so special…it’s nothing but you and your partner with the waves, sunshine, and sand in paradise. Thomas couldn’t stop staring at his beautiful bride too!

Our hearts lept as Reverend Richardo declared our stunning couple, “husband and wife!” It was the moment they both had been waiting for… you can see the joy and happiness radiating around them!

Angela was a vision in white – she opted for a delicate beaded gown that sparkled in the sunlight! Her tropical bouquet completed her glowing complexion. Doesn’t she look stunning?!

Now it was time to celebrate! We took a few portraits of our newlyweds as the sun began to dip below the horizon. The lighting was so soft and luminescent! Tom looked happy and proud as he embraced his new bride…so romantic! Their genuine love and support for each other shone through our lens the entire afternoon, as you’ll see below…

For their Maui elopement, our charming couple chose Maluaka beach for their special celebration. We love this beach for a Maui elopement because it is a long, beautiful beach on the quieter side. Opposed to the more crowded and touristy beaches, this one is calmer and has the most amazing sunsets!

These two! We think these are our favorite photos of the day yet! There is such warmth, affection, and deep friendship between them… so blissfully happy!

Paradise Found

After the most serene portraits, our dear couple’s playful side came out! They danced, twirled, and soaked in the tropical scenery as the sky turned to amber and gold… just the two of them. We were in awe of these precious moments! Maui elopements are truly enchanting!

We want to send Angela and Tom a warm mahalo for choosing Simple Maui Wedding for your Maui elopement! It was a privileged to capture this momentous occasion of your new chapter together! Wishing you all the love, happiness, and peace in your journey together…

Recently, we had the greatest pleasure of capturing Destiny and Amanda’s Maui venue wedding! They couldn’t contain their excitement about their special day! So, naturally, our adventurous pair wanted a relaxed and intimate ceremony with their closest friends and family. Please keep reading to see the highlights of their lovely day…

Adventure Awaits

Our beautiful brides are a dual military couple who love to hike, camp, fish, and adventure in the great outdoors! They love spending quality time together – it’s lovely to see how much they enjoy the same activities! Amanda’s family is native Chamorro from Guam, actually! Destiny is from the mainland, so it was a real treat for her family to visit Hawaii, as you can imagine. We rarely meet people who wouldn’t want a holiday in Maui! So Hawaii was the perfect location to meet halfway in the middle for their Maui venue wedding!

There were many tears and laughs during their initmate ceremony. Our beautiful couple were showered with love, warmth, and well wishes the entire day!

Our gorgeous pair opted for traditional Hawaiian leis of white orchids – so elegant!

They dreamed of a modern, simple, and relaxed Maui venue wedding, and we think they got just that! For their ceremony, they chose the grassy lawn of Gannon’s. We love this location in particular because it was sweeping views of South Maui and the ocean, as you can see! Its privacy also made it a prime choice for our gorgeous brides…

After the warm wishes of congratulations from their friends and family, we walked to a secluded area to capture their first married moments!

Since they haven’t explored Hawaii, this was an extraordinary occasion for our newlyweds! We love that they embraced their stunning wedding gowns’ easy, breezy look. The flowing nature and tropical details made them look like ethereal goddesses! As they walked hand in hand, they were so happy to start their new life together with many adventures ahead!

From all of us at Simple Maui Wedding, a huge mahalo for choosing us for your Maui venue wedding! We want to wish you both the very best on your new journey together! We hope to see you in paradise again soon! Much aloha…

We recently had the pleasure of capturing Lindsay and Anthony’s Maui destination wedding! As you’ll see, it was a vibrant and private affair that wowed us from the very start! Our lovely couple embraced the rich Hawaiian culture in all its forms, from the decor to their sacred vows. Please keep reading to see photos from their tropical destination wedding!

It Started As A Dream – A Maui Destination Wedding

Our charismatic couple was enamored with the islands from the start of their loving relationship. Lindsay admitted that she dreamed of a Hawaiian wedding as a little girl; she even decorated her room with an island theme! As you can see in the photos of their stunning floral decor and tropical ambiance, Lindsay’s wish came true! We were in awe of the bright and playful colors of the ceremony; they were so eye-catching! When her father walked her down the aisle, she was reminded of that childhood dream long ago. We couldn’t be happier to photograph their Maui destination wedding!

Best Friends

To rewind a bit, it all began in a college physics class for our delightful newlyweds. Anthony was a lab assistant then, and their friendship slowly sparked from co-lab assistants in the science department at Belmont University in Tennesee to a first date. As you can see, we are far from the science labs now! Instead, our couple loves to spend much of their quality time adventuring in the outdoors, mixed with a bit of adrenaline now and again! So when we heard that detail, it was no surprise to us why they chose Maui for their destination wedding!

In line with their Hawaiian ambiance, our adventurous couple exchanged their vows at the Rustic Hawaiian Ruins venue in Kihei. We love this quiet Church because of its natural setting outside under the palm trees and lush greenery. It’s a naturally rustic outdoor sanctuary founded in 1852! This historical Church is a gem of a location for any Maui destination wedding! Our charming newlyweds appreciated the history and the authentically Hawaiian ambiance, as you can see below…

After their lovely ceremony, we went to photograph a few private moments as newlyweds! What instantly caught our eye was Linday’s nontraditional wedding dress! It was refreshing to see her frothy floral gown; it complemented the tropical ambiance beautifully, don’t you think? The dash of pink on the bow was just as playful as our lovely bride. And to match, we loved how Anthony’s tie was in the same shade! They are an adventurous couple all around!

A New Adventure Together

Next, we went to capture our newlyweds down at the beach to top off their Maui destination wedding! They looked blissfully happy the entire time! It was an overcast afternoon which gave way to the most pastel-colored skies and lighting. It was a surreal moment for our lovely couple that their Hawaiian dream wedding came true!

Lindsay and Anthony basked in the Maui magic at sunset as the evening drew to a close. They exclaimed that Hawaii would forever hold a place in their hearts! The sky was just as colorful as their florals, as you’ll see below! Luckily for them, they had the beach entirely to themselves! We were amazed by how their profound love for each other radiated with the luminous sky…

From all of us at Simple Maui Wedding, we want to extend a warm mahalo to Lindsay and Anthony for choosing us for your Maui destination wedding! May you have all the love and happiness in your new life together, full of adventures! We can’t wait to see you in Maui again soon!

Our lovely couple, Brittney and Dexter’s tropical Maui venue wedding was a day to cherish! It was our pleasure to capture their amazing day! We were so excited to see the tropical details throughout their venue wedding when we arrived! From Brittney’s vibrant bouquet to the pineapple-lined rows, it felt authentically Hawaiian. Keep reading to see more of their special day!

Tropical Goddess

Before the ceremony began, we were excited to catch a few glimpses of our glowing bride – doesn’t she look divine?! As we photographed her getting ready, we could feel the jitters and joy mixed into one, as you can imagine! We were awestruck when she showed us her breathtaking bouquet of dahlias, orchids, ginger, and other tropical blooms. Brittney adores flowers, so she wanted a unique bouquet that comprised some of her favorites!

Her darling flower girl and ring bearer were the sweetest! They were so excited to participate in Brittney’s big day! These precious moments before their ceremony genuinely capture our gorgeous bride’s excitement and sheer happiness, don’t you think?

With My Blessing

When Brittney’s father walked her down the aisle, their family and friends were a little teary-eyed, as you can imagine! It was such an endearing moment to witness. These smaller ceremonies are so moving, as you’ll see below! Her doting father gave her one last kiss on the cheek before presenting her to her handsome groom that awaited. Naturally, Brittney and Dexter wanted an intimate affair, surrounded by their closest friends and family. Before the vows began, our charming couple couldn’t hold back a few giggles!

The location for their splendid Maui venue wedding was Olowalu Plantation, a plantation-style house right on the water. It’s a real gem! This is one of our top locations for a Maui venue wedding simply because of the privacy and beachfront. The grounds offer so much variety in places to capture first looks and wedding portraits. Coconut and palm trees dot the property giving plenty of privacy and a tropical ambiance. Maui at its best!

A Kiss To Remember

The moment we were waiting for – our newlyweds announced as husband and wife! As you can see, their family cheered and clapped with joy for these two! Not only were they showered with confetti, but their nearest and dearest also blew them kisses as they walked hand in hand down the aisle. They look like they are on cloud nine, as you will see below!

After their fun and festive family portraits, our charming pair snuck off together so we could photograph a few private moments together as newlyweds. They couldn’t stop smiling and looked adoringly at each other throughout the day! So now our delightful couple can officially say they were “Just Maui’d”!

Our lovely couple went off on their way for their wedding portraits as we continued to photograph their Maui venue wedding. Brittney and Dexter love the ocean and all things tropical, so naturally, they wanted to walk down to the shoreline to soak in the scenery and newlywed bliss!

Brittney walked carefully down the rocky bar, lovingly guided by her new husband, Dexter. As you can see, it was well worth the walk simply because of this view! This panoramic view of the West Maui Mountains is one of the reasons why we adore Olowalu Plantation. As you can see, it showcased the cinematic scenery of the island and enhanced the tropical ambiance of their Maui venue wedding!

After the noise and fun of the ceremony, our charming couple cherished these private moments together. Brittney was glowing in Dexter’s arms! Her detailed floral gown perfectly mirrored her bouquet blooms. Her veil danced in the breeze as we captured their first married moments!

We want to send a warm mahalo to our lovely couple, Brittney and Dexter, for choosing Simple Maui Wedding! With lots of love and aloha, we wish you the very best for your new journey together! Until we meet again in paradise…

Last week we had the privilege to capture Erin and Michael’s Maui venue wedding! It was an intimate celebration with their close friends and family. They embraced the island’s easy, go-with-the-flow attitude, as you’ll see in their photos below of their big day! Keep reading to see highlights of their incredible Maui venue wedding…

So to begin, their ceremony was at The Steeple House at Kapalua, and the weather was divine! Surrounded by a close group of friends and family, they exchanged their vows in the shimmering Maui sun. As nature lovers, Erin and Michael knew they wanted to make their sacred commitment to each other outdoors for their Maui venue wedding. So when it came down to planning, we suggested this venue because of its epic background and dramatic lava rock cliffs, as you’ll see below!

Creating A Life Together – Their Story

As they exchanged our vows, we were reminded how our charming couple met – on a dating app! But, once they met in person, they felt a very special connection between them. After dating for six years, they wanted to create a life together and build a solid foundation of love, trust, and respect. It’s heartwarming to hear each couple’s personal tributes and values! You can tell in the photos they are the best of friends! They both enjoy hiking, biking, kayaking, and everything in between…

Since our stunning pair loves to spend quality time together outdoors, it’s no wonder they chose Maui for their venue wedding! They had been to Maui twice before and knew instantly, because of its raw natural beauty and seclusion, that this was where they finally wanted to tie the knot!

After their simple yet elegant ceremony, they were joined by their warm and loving family. Their parents were so proud! Everyone carried the aloha spirit throughout the day, as you can see. We love it when our couples embrace the island’s go-with-the-flow attitude!

Isn’t she a vision in white? Erin looks gorgeous in her deep V gown and her tropical bouquet. The lace detail along the front and back was exquisite! Michael came to join her, and you could instantly feel the chemistry and profound love between the two. It’s always a joy for us to shoot newlywed’s first private moments together because their personalities shine through! Suddenly, a gust of wind blew open Michael’s suit only to reveal a tropical print lining inside – how fitting!

Cliffside Romance

What an epic ending to a wonderful day! The cliffside photos were our favorites of the day…the ocean is very unpredictable, so to capture these dramatic waves and splashes against the rocks was incredible! Thankfully, neither of them got soaking wet! Instead, they were giggling and in awe at the sheer power of the waves, although we wouldn’t expect anything less from these two lovebirds!

We want to extend a warm mahalo to our charming couple, Erin and Michael; it was our honor to capture your Maui venue wedding! We wish you the very best in your next chapter together! Until we see you again in paradise… much love from all of us at Simple Maui Wedding!

There was just something in the air! Caitlyn and William’s Maui beach wedding was a postcard-perfect type of day. The chemistry and connection between our gorgeous bride and groom were enhanced by the island’s magic, as you can tell in their photos! The rush and excitement were undeniable and left us buzzing! Keep scrolling to see a few highlights of their intimate affair…

A Tropical Vision

Our charming couple is originally from Arizona, although Hawaii is one of their favorite destinations! (We agree!) They love the laid-back and active lifestyle of the islands, so when it came to planning their big day, Maui was at the top of their list! For their dream Maui beach wedding, they wanted something fun, elegant, and above all, romantic. We were so happy to make their vision come to life! A sacred commitment of a lifetime…

If you’re wondering how they met, it was a scene out of a romantic comedy! Caitlyn ran into William as he headed into the elevator in her new building. It was an elevator ride that changed both of their lives, as you can see! We enjoy hearing about these serendipitous moments! Like many of our wonderful newlyweds, they became quick friends and had so much in common. The rest is blissful history!

Because they wanted a simple Maui beach wedding, surrounded by their nearest and dearest, they chose Polo beach for the ceremony. Located in Wailea, we love this beach for its long, sandy shoreline and scenic views at sunset. Our newlyweds couldn’t contain their excitement about the scenery and setting sun, as you’ll see below!

Newlywed Bliss

Our happy couple enjoyed their playful and intimate moments together as husband and wife – they couldn’t keep their hands off each other! Thankfully, we were there to photograph every kiss! These first married moments will be treasured forever!

Caitlyn was a stunner! We were wowed by the fishtail train that gracefully trailed on the sand. It fit her like a glove, don’t you think? She looked like a tropical goddess holding her vibrant bouquet of local blooms!

Her doting new husband William, looked so handsome in his grey suit with a pop of blue that reflected the ocean. Together, they radiated happiness in every photo!

After the noise and excitement of the day, the sunset brought our lens back to focus on what’s most important – our newlywed’s new chapter as husband and wife.

We were so honored to capture your Maui beach wedding Caitlyn and William! May you have all the love and success in your new journey together! Sending you the warmest aloha until we see you again…

Look at another stunning wedding here!

A Hawaiian wish that came to life for our sweet couple! Kaitlin & Christopher’s Maui venue wedding was nothing short of a dream. We were beyond thrilled that these two love birds finally tied the knot in Maui! Getting married in Maui has been Kaitlin’s dream ever since she was young, so to see it come to life was heartwarming. So, we wanted to share a sneak peek of their fabulous day! Keep reading to see our favorite moments…

It’s always exciting for our photographers to catch glimpses of our beautiful brides getting ready. Kaitlin was no different, she said she was equally as excited as a bit nervous! She looked absolutely glowing in her frothy gown, we adored the sparkly details in her shoes and hair too – pure perfection! By the time she was dressed, she couldn’t wait to finally show Christopher!

Their Love Story

Their story is a modern romance! Our darling couple met on a dating site and sparks flew when they discovered they had so much in common! They are big foodies and love spending quality time with their black lab, Charlie. Six years later they got engaged and their families couldn’t have been happier.

Kaitlin’s grandmother was actually born in Maui so the island holds a special place in her heart. Sadly, she had passed before their big day but you could feel her love and presence showering them all day. We were honored to photograph their big day with this in mind!

Tropical Elegance – Maui Venue Wedding

Our lovely couple wanted a scenic location with sweeping views for their quiet and intimate ceremony, so they opted for Steeple House, which was perfect for their Maui venue wedding! We love this venue because it offers a traditional ceremony area and easy beach access to Ironwoods, a secluded stretch of beach! Because Kaitlin has a familial tie to the island, she knew she wanted to capture their first newlywed moments on the beach… as you’ll see below, the photographs came out beautiful!

An Ocean Dream

The ocean waves were steadily rolling when we got down to the beach after their Maui venue wedding. The cloudier skies made everything look soft and pastel in color – so flattering! Opposed to a clear sky, we often prefer shooting on these moodier and more overcast days. The photography usually is more serene and evenly lit, as you can see below! Needless to say, our stunning couple was enveloped in these endearing newlywed moments together. The salty breeze guided them, hand in hand, into their next chapter together as husband and wife…

Our newlyweds were swept away in paradise as you can see! A huge mahalo to Kaitlin and Christopher for choosing Simple Maui Wedding, we couldn’t be happier for you both! We wish you all the love, peace, and happiness, on your new journey together! Until we meet again…
