Aimee + Glynn {Gorgeous and Whimsical Maui elopement in Ironwoods Beach Kapalua}

Glynn and Aimee are the sweetest couple with a rollercoaster of a wedding planning story. They originally had wedding plans for about 100 guests in Texas but that got overwhelming and expensive really fast, so an intimate wedding in Maui was decided on. 

That’s when Aimee and I first started talking. She is such a warm, friendly person that we talked not only about wedding plans but about life in general and got close. A few months before their destination wedding, they flew out to Maui to look at venues and meet vendors in person… and ended up having an elopement, planned in just a few hours, right before that had to get back on the plane to leave!

They returned to Texas and surprised their daughters with the happy news. They came back to Maui for what was supposedly to be their wedding date, and we had lots of fun documenting the day. From getting ready to the first look, family photos, and of course romantic shots, it was a little bit of everything. Aimee and Glynn even asked if my son Miloh could be the ring bearer!

The great thing about the wedding being done is that everyone was so relaxed and there was only pure love, joy, and laughter that day. Aimee and I still talk regularly and she is hands down my biggest fan on Facebook. So happy for this beautiful family, honored that I got to be part of this special day, and grateful for our continued friendship

Andie + Danny {Maui Beach Trash the Dress}

After Andie and Danny's super fun New Year's Day wedding on the north shore, we went to the south side to get wet. These two were already so laid back to begin with, now that the wedding was over, they were even more relaxed in total honeymoon bliss. We had such an amazing time cruising around in their Jeep, first going to Makena Cove and then over to Big Beach, where the water was absolutely crystal clear and perfect for jumping in.

Natalie and Levi had the best of both worlds - an elopement with just the two of them and then lots of pictures to make all their loved ones feel like they were there. They hired me for 5 hours because they wanted to make sure I captured each and every part of their amazing day. This extremely kind, humble Canadian couple also brought their own wedding planner from Canada, and it was a joint effort to make this the best day ever!

We did a first look at the Hotel Wailea where they got ready, then went over to Secret Beach for some lava rock and palm tropical scenery. Natalie was a fan of my faraway landscaping shots and wanted to showcase all the beautiful lushness of Maui.

The ceremony was at a bird sanctuary in Haiku set on a cliff with glorious ocean view landscape that was oh soooo stunning, the perfect place for them to say I Do's with birds flying all around them the entire ceremony while the sun was setting behind them. We ended the day with a romantic private dinner at Sugar Beach Events.

We met up the next day for a Day After session, where we played in the forest and Natalie got to show off another beautiful look.
