AMOUR...an Elopement on the South Shores of Maui

Phillipe, Delphine and Diana Eden made the long journey across the globe from Marsielle, France to Maui, Hawaii. They all loved being under the warm golden sun that is found in Hawaii and the family expressed that there was something special in the breezes on Maui’s south facing shores. I told them it was the Aloha Spirit that can still be felt when everyone lands on the island of Maui.

Delphine & Phillipe originally wanted a ceremony in French and Susan with Aloha Weddings was dong her best to accommodate them. The couple settled on the soft, gentle delivery of Wai, an officiant & celebrant, who resides on Maui. Wai customized the ceremony to suit the couple’s cultural difference and it was a touching time for us all. The Maui backdrop always makes for gorgeous photos. The family had a sweet dynamic between them that can be seen in every photo. Merci to Delphine, Phillipe & Diana Eden for playing on Po’olenalena Beach with me under the Maui golden light. It was an unforgettable time.

A Magical Wedding on 11/11/24 at 11:11a.m.

I love when there is some magic and intention behind a wedding day. Charles and Maya planned, with Ayesha of Merry Maui Weddings, a detailed and profoundMaui elopement ceremony that was held at DT Fleming Beach on 11/11/24 at 11:11a.m. The bride & groom were dressed so elegantly and the small group that made up the supporting team surrounded Charles & Maya as they exchanged their vows, rings and a great kiss of course!!!

These two undoubtedly had a love for one another that was not taken for granted in anyway. Charles just adores Maya to the moon and back. It was an honor to be a part of their ceremony and Maya get the Wedding Dress of the Year award in my book!!! So inspiring…

Congratulations and a lifetime of happiness to you both!

A South Side Wedding packed with Love

Steven & Angelica hopped off the cruise ship when it docked on Maui to exchange their wedding vows. Their close friends & family were all able to join on that lovely afternoon at White Rock Beach. Angelica made sure the details were included that she wanted and the touches were worth it. Susan of Aloha Wedding Planning pulled all of the details together and Wai was the day of coordinator. Together those two deliverd a smooth experience for the Bride & Groom and all of the guests. There was an amazing musician and hula dancer woven into their ceremony. Rev. Kuya led their vows with lots of love & laughter. The group held a nice space and were blown away by the sunset that afternoon. I worked along side Brian with videography and we magically got through all of the shot list just as the sun dropped over the ocean. A huge congratulations to Steven & Angelica. I hope to see you all again on the beaches of Maui someday celebrating countless anniversaries to come.

A Bit of Off Roading Makes for the Best Wedding

Makai & Ola are both born & raised on Maui and were able to pull off a beautiful wedding tucked down in the depths of the jungle. Huelo is known for its rainy weather and strong breezes but for their special day it stayed warm & sunny. They were surrounded by their amazing children, friends & family.

I met Makai on an off-roading trip down to Kanaio and it was ever so fitting that on his wedding day we off-roaded down to the ocean cliffs. It was so stunning and their energy was filled with love, laughs and total sweetness

It was my complete honor to be a part of their wedding day and I am forever grateful for these two sharing their love with all of us.
