On September 9, 2006, Syreeta and Jonathan tied the knot in Oahu. Taken with the Aloha spirit, they decided they would make another trip to Hawaii happen! Now for their 15th anniversary, they fulfilled the promise by having a Maui vow renewal!

The Maui Vow Renewal

Ironwoods beach was the location for this relaxed, elegant, and modern ceremony. With the sapphire water in the background, Syreeta made a breathtaking entrance onto the sandy shores! We love seeing the little moments in a ceremony. One of them was Jonathan’s warm expression when Syreeta walked down the shore. His eyes were full of love, he looked as if he saw her for the first time.

Our Couple’s Story

Syreeta and Jonathan first met when they were set up on a blind date in 2003. During that date, they felt an undeniable connection to each other! Then, they got engaged in 2004. Two years later, they got married at the Kahala Hotel in Honolulu. After their wedding, this happy couple realized how much they loved Hawaii. It made them want to come back and explore a new island. So fifteen years later, they returned to the Aloha state and had their vow renewal in Maui!

Currently, Syreeta is an owner of an event planning company and Jonathan is a business owner. They have three children named Troy, Samantha, and Jalen. On the next visit, they plan on exploring Hawaii with their children. Lastly, as their parent’s caregivers, they spend a lot of time with family. When it’s just them, you’ll find them at a beach down near Delaware at their favorite restaurant.

There are so many sweet moments in this photoshoot. We can’t believe this is a fifteen-year renewal because they are just as radiant and ecstatic as pair of newlyweds! Above all, their delightful glow is our favorite thing about them!

Congratulations Syreeta and Jonathan on your fifteen-year anniversary. Mahalo for letting us be part of such a special occasion. We hope we’ll see you and your family next time you visit Hawaii!

Our Couple’s Story

In July of 2016, Kim lost her husband and son in a terrorist attack. The very next year, Kim and Donald’s story began when they met. After being together for four years, Donald popped the question to Kim on the magical day of 04/03/21! Wanting to continue the magic, they decided to have a dreamy beach wedding in Maui! Kim and Donald are both excited to start this new chapter of their lives together; we can see the excitement on their faces because they are glowing with absolute bliss!

The Beach Wedding in Maui

Southside Beach created the perfect scene with the pastel sunset painting the sky, striking lava rock formations, and vivid blue ocean. Karma Hill Photography effortlessly captured the beauty of the Hawaiian sunset and the pure joy on the bride and groom’s faces in every photograph. We love how the natural colors of the beach complement the white of Kim’s delicate dress and the soft colors of Donald’s vest and pants.

Telsi and Shalinder were both born and raised in Hawaii. When the time came for them to tie the knot, they couldn’t imagine not having a Maui venue wedding!

The Venue wedding in Maui

This happy couple wanted to have a simple but gorgeous wedding; they chose the perfect venue for this! Located on Maui’s south shore, Gannon’s Restaurant is right above the sparkling ocean and surrounded by a charming golf course. With their ceremony being held on the lush rich green grass of Gannon’s knoll and the sunset reflecting off the water in the distance — everything about this wedding makes you feel as if you’re in a fairytale!

Our Couple’s Story

Telsi and Shalinder were both born and raised on the island and have been together for eighteen years. Since the island is home and loved dearly by both of them, they decided to have a venue wedding in Maui. In their spare time, you will find them crafting, baking, or spending quality time with their four children.

You will never see a sunset that is more exquisite than the soft abstract colors of a Hawaiian sunset! In every photograph, shot by Karma Hill Photography, the sunset is captured effortlessly. We love how both our bride and groom are glowing just as bright as the sunset behind them!

Congratulations to this lovely couple! Thank you for letting us be part of your special day. May the years ahead be full of love and joy!

Jessica and Jered wanted to do something different for their wedding, so they decided to have a simple but intimate venue wedding in Maui! Surrounded by their families and friends, they tied the knot at The Steeple House with the picturesque views of Maui’s northwest shore around them.

The Maui Venue Wedding

Jessica and Jered wanted an elegant wedding that had a little rustic flair. That made The Steeple House the ideal venue for them! They also left with beautiful memories because of the stunning backdrops this location has to offer. We captured breathtaking portraits on the stone walls and in front of the clear blue ocean. These fairytale-like photos captured by Karma Hill Photography are the perfect personal touch needed to make their new house feel like their forever home.

Our Couple’s Story

Jessica and Jered have been good friends since they were teenagers. They went on a few friend dates before they realized that they were destined to be more. The shock that these longtime friends were soulmates is what motivated them to get married. Jered popped the question while they were right next to Illumination Rock on Mount Hood — Jessica didn’t hesitate to say yes.

This adventurous couple loves to have fun new experiences together. Once, they snowshoed up and down a mountain together. So, it was no surprise to us that they loved the cliffs at Ironwoods Beach! More than anything, we love that their biggest adventure has been their venue wedding in Maui!

Congratulations, Jessica and Jered! We’re wishing you a lifetime of adventures together. And we hope your new home comes together beautifully. Thank you for letting us be part of your special day!

It was a beautiful day for Tracy and Gary’s beach wedding in Maui. The ceremony was exactly what our couple had hoped for: simple, joyful, and fun! We were so happy to be a part of their special day on the shore of DT Fleming. 

The Beach Wedding in Maui

Reverend Kimo began the ceremony with the traditional blowing of the Hawaiian conch shell. With blue skies and a turquoise ocean, Tracy and Gary were surrounded by tropical beauty. And speaking of beauty, these two had the most beautiful connection! We could tell right from the start that they were meant to be. From their sweet glances to their loving lean-ins, Tracy and Gary were over the moon to say “I do” with a beach wedding in Maui. 

Our Couple’s Story

Tracy and Gary are both 58 and each have two amazing adult children. They met on Bumble almost two years ago. It was an instant match! Their engagement was easy and simple, they both decided they wanted to be married! They say, “When you’re 58, you don’t need a dramatic proposal.” Keep scrolling for more of Tracy and Gary’s beach wedding in Maui!

The islands hold a special place in Traci and David’s hearts, so they knew a Hawaii beach elopement was the perfect way to say “I do.” The cloud coverage on Ironwoods Beach was sparse and created a dramatic effect across the sky. This was a special ceremony fit for an easygoing and adventurous couple. 

The Hawaii Beach Elopement

Reverend Richardo officiated the ceremony with his usual grace and good-natured smiles. Traci and David have always felt that a large wedding was not for them, so they were thrilled to have a simple yet elegant Hawaii beach elopement. The last time they were in Hawaii was in 2018, and having their feet in the sand felt like returning to their second home. Keep scrolling for all the sweet moments!

Our Couple’s Story

Traci and David met in college while they were both working at the same restaurant. They hit it off and soon knew it was meant to be. Now they have an adorable four-year-old golden retriever furbaby who they love to spend time with outdoors. The rest of their story is right here on our blog!

Mahalo nui loa, Traci and David, for trusting us with your Hawaii beach elopement. You were amazing to work with, and we wish you all the joy and happiness in the years ahead!

Last week, Amanda and Zac were married with a sweet Maui beach elopement on the shore of Lahaina Sands. With boats on the horizon and just a handful of close family cheering them on, this was a lovely ceremony that will be remembered forever. 

The Maui Beach Elopement

Amanda and Zac found out they’re expecting twins in February and felt a Maui beach elopement was the perfect way to tie the knot. With their wedding, Zac is gaining not only a beautiful wife but also a beautiful step-daughter who was clapping her little toddler hands as they said “I do”! What a happy moment!

Our Couple’s Story

Amanda and Zac were introduced together by Amanda’s dad. He met Zac while he was looking to purchase a new home, and felt Amanda and Zac would be perfect together. The two exchanged contact info and hit it off immediately. After a long-distance relationship proved that they were meant to be, Zac proposed on Valentine’s day and they took the first steps to becoming husband and wife.

Kristen and Kaylyn’s Maui beach wedding was beautiful in so many ways. With just family watching on and the panoramic view of the ocean in the backdrop, this day was beyond special. From a surprise beach-clearing event that left just the wedding party on the shore to a bursting sunset, this was truly a blessed occasion. 

The Maui Beach Wedding

Reverend Kuya opened the Maui beach wedding with the traditional blowing of the conch shell. Wearing gowns that complemented each other, Kristen and Kaylyn were visions on the beach. The day was windy, which added gorgeous movement to their trains. Shortly after the sweet ceremony, the sky opened up and it began to rain. It was a brief sprinkling, but it caused the beachgoers to pack up and leave. The result was a beach just to ourselves. 

Our Couple’s Story

Kristen and Kaylyn are both veterinarians and met on the job. Their connection was instant, but their love blossomed with time. Kaylyn asked Kristen to marry her during a romantic picnic at a national park in Ohio. She hid the ring in the basket and Kristen discovered it while she was unpacking the blanket. Talk about a sweet treat! Keep scrolling for more of our beautiful couple! 

Congratulations, Kristen and Kaylyn! We wish you all the joy and happiness in the decades ahead!

It was a stunning day for Christie and Duane’s beach wedding in Hawaii. With a few loved ones in attendance and the salty ocean breeze on their cheeks, this was a sweet and tropical ceremony. We were thrilled to be a part of their special day. 

The Beach Wedding in Hawaii

We are obsessed with Christie and Duane’s color palette. Soft creams and pops of coral pink brought a tropical and contemporary touch to the dreamy shore of Polo Beach. Wearing a princess-cut gown in full lace applique and orchid hair accents to match her bouquet, Christie is absolutely beautiful. And Duane’s wardrobe is a show-stealer! But the sweet looks and glances shared between Christie and Duane were the highlight of the ceremony. 

Following their I-do’s, it was time for the Karma Hill Photography team to capture glowing shots of our couple against the sunset. A beach wedding in Hawaii is lovely for countless reasons, but it goes without saying that the bursting sunsets make an island wedding irresistible! Speaking of irresistible, keep scrolling for more beautiful moments of this special day! 

Congratulations, Christie and Duane! We wish you all the love and joy in the decades ahead!

Olivia and Roshan both love the island, and they’ve been vacationing here since before they even met. So of course, it was the perfect place to have their Maui destination wedding. The evening was clear and breezy, and our couple was more than ready to say “I do.” 

The Maui Destination Wedding

Roshan had planned to propose in Maui last year, but with COVID, he rearranged his plans and they had a Maui destination wedding instead. Gannon’s grassy knoll served as the outdoor venue, featuring an expansive view of the south side and lush island greenery. But the most spectacular view had to be our couple’s sweet expressions. We are all about their smiles! 

Our Couple’s Story

Olivia and Roshan met at work. He thought he was simply training a new nursing grad, little did he know she’d turn out to be the love of his life! Like any good love story, at first, these two did not get along. But once they opened up and got to know each other, they knew there was something special. It took just one date for Olivia and Roshan to realize they’d found the one. 

When COVID canceled Roshan’s big plans for a Hawaii proposal, he got to work on another plan. Olivia and Roshan had recently bought their dream house, and while she was working on Thanksgiving day, Roshan set up a beautiful display in their favorite room.

With five pounds of rose petals, he created a dream proposal, and, of course, Olivia said yes! On top of gaining a husband, Olivia also gained a daughter! Roshan’s ten-year-old daughter served as the cutest flower girl ever and had the biggest smile! Keep scrolling for the sunset photos of Olivia and Roshan’s Maui destination wedding!

Congratulations, Olivia and Roshan! We wish you all the happiness in the decades ahead!

Emily and Sina’s beautiful Maui beach wedding was like a drop of sunshine, bright, warm, and kept making us smile. With a gorgeous tropical backdrop and a handful of loved ones watching on, this beautiful ceremony had everything island dreams are made of. 

The Maui Beach Wedding

We planned to have Emily and Sina’s Maui beach wedding on the shore of Southside, but with the threat of rain, we ended up moving the ceremony to Maluaka Beach. And it turned out to be a perfect choice! We can’t always shift the location, but we were able to get to the edge of the cloud line, which resulted in a slightly overcast ceremony and a sunset that was poppin’! Keep scrolling for all the sweet wedding day moments!

Our Couple’s Story

Our bride had the sweetest story, that we just had to share on our blog! From our bride: 

“We met the age-old way – the internet! We actually matched on Coffee meets bagel. We talked for a few days and then met for our first date at a local bar/restaurant called Sovereign. 

“Proposal: we had an unseasonably warm day in Northern Virginia. We decided to go into DC to Georgetown and walk around. We went to take pictures in front of the place of our first date. That is when Sina gave the most heartwarming speech and dropped to his knee. I didn’t even say yes – I just said of course!” How cute is that?! The rest of their story is right here on our blog! 

Congratulations, Emily and Sina! We wish you all the joy and happiness in the decades to come!

Last week, Becky and Carlos had a Maui beach wedding that was simply elegant, relaxing, and filled with love. With their family watching on and their sweet son clapping his cute little hands, there were good vibes and unforgettable memories all throughout this ceremony. 

The Maui Beach Wedding

Maui holds a special place in Becky and Carlos’s hearts. They’ve been visiting for nearly the length of their relationship and have made irreplaceable memories. It only made sense that they’d have a Maui beach wedding to celebrate their union. 

Wearing a white gown with off-the-shoulder accents and a wrapped opening, Becky was the picture of a beautiful, glowing bride. Carlos looked fantastic himself in black slacks and a button-down with a camel jacket. Their style was on point and their love was off the charts! Keep scrolling for more of the lovely ceremony. 

Our Couple’s Story

Becky and Carlos met on a boating trip. Becky was taking care of a friend who’d fallen ill, and Carlos left the helm to try and keep her company. After an Instagram invite, Becky says Carlos “Dove right into her DMs!” Although he likes to say otherwise!

Five years later, they were pregnant with their rainbow baby, and to celebrate, they took a trip to Maui for maternity photos. During the shoot, Becky asked Carlos to remove his hat, but he begged her to let him wear it for just a few more photos. She agreed, and during one of those photos, he dropped to his knee to ask her to marry him! The rest of their story is right here on our blog!

Congratulations, Becky and Carlos! We had a wonderful time coordinating your Maui beach wedding, and we wish you plenty of joy and love in the decades to come!
