Emily and Eric’s Maui destination wedding was simply beautiful. Set on the grounds of the Steeple House in Kapalua and with loved ones present (including their adorable three-year-old son!), this ceremony had everything Maui wedding dreams are made of!

As the big moment got near, Emily dressed in the bridal suite of the Steeple House. Wearing a gown of lace and with hair that wouldn’t quit, Emily was beyond radiant.




When the ceremony began, our couple’s little man was dressed for the occasion! We love his mini maile lei and his adorable expression! He even brought snacks to watch the show!



The love shared between Emily and Eric was electric. And the wedding was all smiles and laughter and an occasional show-stealing moment from the cute kiddo! Scroll on for more!



















Eric is an East coaster – confident, easy to talk to, and tough. Emily is a West coaster – friendly, reserved at first, and sensitive. Their adorable son was born on Valentine’s Day, which is suiting because he’s the love of their life!
Emily and Eric’s story is one for the books! Read on for words from our bride: “We first met back in 2008 at a job. We were both in the same training class. We immediately caught each other’s eye… although we were both in separate relationships. A few years passed and we crossed paths at a different job! We were surprised to see each other, but still in separate relationships.”

“Fast forward a couple more years and our paths crossed again. We were both taking classes at the same school for our master’s program. We happened to have class on the same night, in the same building and saw each other as the elevator doors closed. (Like you see in the movies!) This time, we were both single and were able to reconnect.”

“We started dating back in 2012. Eric proposed in Boston on December 23, 2016. We hadn’t really started planning our wedding when we found out we were pregnant with Ethan. We agreed it wasn’t the right time to get married yet, so the wedding was pushed to the back burner while we started life as a family of 3. Now that the pandemic is getting better and things have slowed down a bit, we figured it’s the perfect time to (finally) get married!” Congratulations, Emily and Eric!












Thank you, Emily and Eric! We wish you all the magic in the years ahead!

Alexis and Bryan’s beautiful Maui wedding took place on the sweeping lawns of the 5 Palms in Wailea. It was a sunny day with an island breeze and a handful of loved ones watching on as Alexis and Bryan tied their lives together. We were so thrilled to help make their dreams come true!


There was so much joy during Alexis and Bryan’s ceremony! As the bride walked down the aisle in the arm of her proud father, it was pure magic. Bryan took in the sight of the love of his life, and Alexis held his gaze, looking incredibly beautiful in a lace gown and the sweetest smile. The only thing that could compare was the smile Bryan returned!








There’s nothing quite like that special Maui wedding moment when the reverend announces our couple as married! The cheers of the guests blended with the roaring ocean, and destiny was made! There was no limit to the smiles!





Following the big moment, we took our couple down to the shore for some romantic portraits. The sky was blanketed in dynamic clouds that made for epic lighting that alternated between gentle glows and vivid highlights. Keep scrolling for the incredible sunset!




















Congratulations, Alexis and Bryan! We wish you all the joy in your marriage! Thank you for trusting us to coordinate your Big Day. It was a joy working with you!

We’re so glad that Jaclyn & Terek decided to elope in Maui! This adorable couple was so kind to work with, and their serene ceremony was a dream. Of course we had the Karma Hill Photography team come and photograph their Maui beach Elopement. Check out some of their beautiful photos!


Jaclyn planned to come to the beach separately from Terek. He’d come in the rental car, and then she’d arrive in an Uber. However, timing the Uber perfectly ended up being too complicated. After all, they chose to elope in Maui for a reason – to avoid stress! So they decided to drive together with a robe hiding Jaclyn’s dress.
Terek waited on the beach with Reverend Richardo, and we got Jaclyn all dolled up with her bouquet and accessories. It ended up being the perfect first look for their elopement! Terek was teary-eyed as he watched the beautiful bride walk toward him. It was such a fun way to keep things simple while still including some traditional elements!



Jaclyn & Terek got engaged last December. As the year went by, they couldn’t quite make wedding plans that felt right for them. They were more excited for an upcoming Maui vacation than they were about wedding planning.
Then in June, they realized that they could simply elope in Maui while they were here for their vacation. What a great idea! The beautiful couple was so relaxed and happy at their Maui elopement. Free of distractions and little worries, Jaclyn & Terek were able to focus on what was most important – their love for each other and the promises they were making.



Not only did Jaclyn & Terek have an amazing wedding experience, they also have amazing wedding photos! After their scenic ceremony, we explored Ironwoods Beach with their photographer. We love this location!
First we got portraits right along the seashore, and then we went up onto the sea cliffs for dramatic sunset shots. This stunning couple would look amazing anywhere, but these beach portraits are extra special.
Now they get to share their photos with their loved ones back home as they look forward to celebrating with them later on. We know they’ll treasure these memories forever, and we’re so happy we got to witness these two elope in Maui!

























Congratulations, Jaclyn & Terek! Mahalo for allowing us to plan your Maui elopement, and we hope to see you in the islands again soon!

It was nothing but magic for Melissa and Chevin’s Maui micro wedding at the 5 Palms in Wailea! With loved ones cheering on, the sparkling ocean in the backdrop, and a love fit for the century, this was a ceremony we won’t soon forget!





Reverend Richardo officiated the ceremony with grace and warmth. It was the perfect mellow yet lovely ceremony. Our bride and groom shared heartfelt vows before they became officially married. They then shared their first dance and swayed in each other’s arms, taking in the special moment.
















After the ceremony, we had a great time helping the Karma Hill Photography team capture spectacular images of Melissa and Chevin as they spent their first hour together as husband and wife. The sunset was simply spectacular. The slightly overcast sky lit up with a brilliant glow as if to say congratulations to our amazing couple.


Our bride shares their story: “We met at college in Oklahoma City. Both of us played sports (baseball & volleyball). Our school was pretty small so we made a connection early on. We’ve been dating for 6 years now! We got engaged on December 20th of 2020.”
“The original plan was to take a trip to California and go to San Diego. That’s where he planned on proposing😉. Then covid shut that down so we ended up back in Oklahoma for a few days. Chevin set up a special spot by the lake. And had a fun engagement party with all our friends and family! It was perfect and meant to be that we ended up there!”

















Congratulations, Melissa and Chevin! Thank you for trusting us with your Maui micro wedding! We wish you all the best in the future!

Natasha and Jared’s Hawaii venue wedding was beautiful and relaxing. Set in the Four Seasons Plumeria Point and overlooking the glistening ocean, this was a ceremony right out of the books! Our couple was easygoing and simply ready to be married and celebrate with their family. It was a lovely event.



Wearing Hugo Boss and looking relaxed yet stylish, Jared waited for the love of his life to walk down the aisle. When he turned to take her in, the moment was pure magic. Natasha and Jared say that when they met, the chemistry in their brains changed. And you could certainly see the chemistry during their Hawaii venue wedding! There’s no question that these two will be in love for an eternity.

It was such a pleasure to coordinate Staci and Jimmy’s Hawaii micro wedding! With a fun group of loved ones supporting them and the elegant setting of the Steeple House in Kapalua, it was truly a sweet and intimate ceremony.



With her best girls at her sides, Staci dressed in the bridal suite. Her sister, stepdaughter, and daughter were there to support her and share in her excitement. It was a gorgeous but windy and hot day in Kapalua, so the inside ceremony was the perfect breath of fresh air and intimacy.



Staci’s parents live on Maui, and the Aloha spirit was alive and vivid during this Hawaii micro wedding. The bride’s mother decorated the chairs with leis, and one special seat was left open for Jimmy’s late son. It was a beautiful and sentimental day filled with love and the fragrant breeze of the ocean.














Staci shared their love story with us, and it was so special, we have to share it on our blog. From our bride:
“Our story is special because we met many years ago in junior high. We reconnected through Facebook in 2016. We had not seen each other since high school, so about 25 years. Our love story is one for the books. He took me to Half Moon Bay in June 2020 and surprised me by showing up at the Ritz Carlton for lunch I thought but turned into a walk on the beach. He packed my favorite wine and had a blanket to sit on. It was a beautiful sunny day. I turned to lay the blanket down then turned around and found him on one knee with the box and him asking me to marry him!”
And clearly, she said yes! Keep scrolling for more of this amazing couple!













Mahalo nui loa, Staci and Jimmy, for trusting us to coordinate your Hawaii micro wedding. The day was overflowing with joy, and we wish you all the sunshine and happiness in the years to come!

It was all sunshine and laughter for Liz and Rob’s Maui beach wedding on the white sands of Polo Beach. With Maui holding a special place in their hearts, Liz and Rob knew the island was the perfect place to say “I do.” Read on for more of this special couple and their beautiful day.

Liz was radiant and truly looked like she was walking into a bright and beautiful future. And her future, and happily ever after, was waiting for her wearing a cobalt suit and a smile that said, “Homerun!” Liz and Rob were a joy to work with, and there was no shortage of smiles throughout their ceremony.



















After the vows and the kiss that sealed the deal, our couple had their first dance right there on the shore! Then it was time for the family and couple photography of their Maui beach wedding. Rob wanted to capture dynamic and unique photographs, so the team at Karma Hill Photography utilized the lava embankment and glistening shoreline. The result was amazing!






Our bride tells their story: “We met after a baseball game (Diamondbacks vs Cubs) at an Irish pub called Seamus McCaffrey’s. We started talking and realized we had mutual friends. We dated for three years and then the Cubs went to the World Series. We planned a trip out to Chicago and I had got us tickets to one of the games. After the national anthem, he got down on one knee and proposed. It was an electric atmosphere and we celebrated with friends after the game.”
How adorable is that! Keep scrolling for more of this awesome couple!












Congratulations, Liz and Rob! We had a wonderful time coordinating your Maui beach wedding, and we send all of our Aloha and well wishes for the future!

Jodie and Jacy were married last week on the beautiful grounds of the 5 Palms in Wailea. Their Maui venue wedding was bright and airy and filled with love from friends and family. Together since high school, Jodie and Jacy wanted a simple yet beautiful wedding, so they knew the island of their childhood home was the perfect place to say “I do.”


With all their family on the island, Jodie and Jacy tied the knot on the southern coast with the blue Pacific in the backdrop. A bamboo arch with classic white draping and blooms to match the bride’s bouquet served as the perfect frame for this sweet couple.
There was a gentle breeze as our beautiful bride walked down the aisle linking arms with her father. Jodie and Jacy have already come so far in their journey of love with such a solid foundation beneath them. And now this day marked the beginning of their journey in marriage.
















Jodie and Jacy were lucky enough to find their true love while they were very young. Together since high school, Jodie and Jacy have an incredible son (this awesome guy!), and love to have fun together. Their idea of a great day out is an adventure at Chuck E Cheese or the Fun Factory! Not only do Jodie and Jacy make a great couple, they also make great parents! Keep scrolling for more of their beautiful day!

















Mahalo nui loa, Jodie and Jacy, for trusting us to coordinate your Maui venue wedding. You’re an amazing couple, and we wish you all the joy in the years ahead!

There was magic in the air for Lori and Dan’s Maui vow renewal on the beautiful grounds of Olowalu Maluhia. It doesn’t get much better than celebrating 40 years of marriage with an intimate beachfront ceremony! And it was so clear that Lori and Dan are still head over heels in love! Come see all the sweetness!





The Karma Hill Photography Team met up with our bride to capture fun and gorgeous getting-ready photos as she dressed in all her bridal beauty. With her best gals by her side, Lori had the glow of a first-time bride. The room was buzzing with energy and excitement because there was so much to celebrate!






As Lori made her way down the aisle, Dan looked out over the glistening sea. The moment he turned was pure magic. After 40 beautiful years together, these two have built a relationship based on love and commitment, and their glances said everything. This is the love of a lifetime. Under soft sunlight and with palms swaying in the backdrop, Lori and Dan renewed their vows. For these two, it was always, “I do.”













Lori and Dan are blessed with two grown children and four beautiful grandchildren, the light of their lives! We asked how they met and got engaged and Lori replied, “Well the first time was almost 42 years ago! We were 19 and 20 at the time, and he got down on one knee in a beautiful park setting. He re-proposed (surprisingly) at our favorite restaurant, and presented me with a gorgeous new wedding ring! I was stunned!”

Mahalo nui loa, Lori and Dan, for trusting us with your Maui vow renewal! It was a beautiful ceremony. We wish you continued happiness and blessings in the years to come.

Lauren and Ian grew up in the same neighborhood, and their beach elopement in Hawaii was over twenty years in the making! They both dreamed of a destination wedding but hadn’t truly considered Hawaii until the pandemic made traveling difficult. Enter the wedding of a lifetime on the sandy, tropical shore!

Reverend Kirkman began the ceremony with the traditional conch as Lauren graced the shore. Just as when Lauren and Ian first laid eyes on each other so many years ago, it was clear that fate brought them to this moment. Lauren looked stunning in a boho gown and her hair in a loose plait. We love how our couple’s classic attire paired against the rustic shore. A final blow of the conch announced their first kiss as husband and wife, and the magic was tangible!












Neither remembers when Ian first moved next door, but it was somewhere between the ages of nine and twelve. While they first did their own things due to an age difference, the attraction was always there. It wasn’t until college, when they returned home, that they found their soulmate connection. Life brought them together and took them apart, but when the time was right, they realized it was meant to be.

During a photo session, Ian got down on one knee to ask the big question. It was the perfect moment and Lauren’s reaction was captured forever on film! Keep scrolling for our couple’s gorgeous beach elopement in Hawaii!


















Mahalo nui loa, Lauren and Ian, for selecting us to coordinate your beach elopement in Hawaii! We wish you all the happiness in the years to come!

It was our pleasure to help Nicole and Mark elope in Maui. With a big ceremony out of the question, our couple had a simple yet elegant elopement just last week. It was the perfect way to tie the knot in the heart of paradise.

The ceremony took place on the white sands of Southside Beach. Nicole and Mark arrived separately and that first look was pure magic. As Nicole stepped onto the beach, her beauty and smile were radiant! She said she was nervous, but you couldn’t tell with a glow like that! Mark turned to see his bride and it felt like we were getting a glimpse of their future. Nothing but love!



When choosing to elope in Maui, Nicole and Mark knew they wanted to have beautiful photos to share with loved ones back home. Karma Hill Photography went above and beyond to capture the love and magic on their special day. In addition to photos, Nicole and Mark also had stunning footage captured by Gaucho Visual so friends and family could relive each moment with them.









After the ceremony, Nicole and Mark shared a first dance to a song only they could hear. With a phone tucked into his jacket pocket, Mark pressed play and held his new wife close as they swayed to the melody. It was intimate and oh so romantic.









Nicole and Mark met while working together, but because they were in different offices, they had to make it work long-distance. Until one day when Nicole realized Mark was the one and uprooted to move to St. Petersburg to be with him and his three incredible sons!
Nicole and Mark were engaged during a sail in Key Largo, Florida. Mark got down on his knee during sunset, and, of course, Nicole said yes! And now our couple eloped on the beach and spent the first few moments as husband and wife beneath the Maui sunset. Keep scrolling for more!





Thank you, Nicole and Mark, for choosing us to help you elope in Maui! You rocked it! We wish you all the joy in the future!
