A Makena Cove Beach Wedding | Winnie + Justin
Winnie and Justin dreamt up an intimate beach wedding surrounded by friends and family. They considered several places and finally settled on Makena Cove (Maui) as the location of this special ceremony. Shortly after making this decision they began researching wedding photographers. From our first conversation, their enthusiasm and passion was evident. They both loved photography and had lots of questions regarding our gear, our approach and delivery options. A couple emails and a phone call later, they asked us to be their photographers 🙂 We were, of course, honored and thrilled.
For this quaint wedding, we settled on three hours of photography coverage. We began with the bride and groom at their vacation rental. Here we captured some candid ‘getting ready photos’, details of the wedding items and bridal portraits before traveling to the ceremony site. Once at the beach, we met with Rev. Laki Ka’ahumanu who guided everyone into a beautiful, heartfelt, and (at times) humorous wedding ceremony.
After the ‘I do’s” with the ocean lapping up at their feet, everyone celebrated the newlyweds and we moved into family/group photos. In the backdrop, neighbor islands Lanai, Kahoʻolawe and Molokini created a stunning scene. Then, it was time to part ways with family and friends, who said their blessings and departed for the restaurant. The sun was approaching the sea, and it was time to get into our Bride and Groom Portrait Session.
We had photographed well past sunset, into the moody deep blues and purples of twilight, when it was time for the bride and groom to head off to dinner with their guests. Smiles and heartfelt thanks reverberated as we said our goodbyes – A beautiful day for this beautiful couple. Mahalo, and congratulations to Winnie and Justin!
After receiving their photography, Winnie and Justin left some very kind words on our Wedding Wire review page:
“My wife and I did a lot of research into photographers in Maui most of whom had a longer history than Maui Creative Photography. Despite this, we decided to go with Maui Creative because of some of the recent glowing reviews, and it was one of the best decisions we made… These guys were truly great, and I couldn’t have imagined anyone else been our photographers for our wedding.”

The Wedding of Hamish & Melissa | A Sugarman Estate Event
Melissa & Hamish grew up on opposite sides of the world; Hamish from Australia and Missy from New Jersey. This distance didn’t stop them from finding each other. So when marriage was the next step, Maui became the perfect halfway point for their international destination wedding. The couple decided they would exchange vows at the oceanfront Sugarman Estate in Makena because, “it has a better lawn,” explains Hamish. “He’s a fan of lawns,” Missy says with a smile. So it was settled, and on that beautiful day, the 16th of August, they became husband and wife. The ceremony was full of expression; loved ones gave speeches, sang songs and the newly wed couple completed their union with a sand ceremony. It was an amazing day to witness; the whole event was a reflection of the couple’s colorful elegance, even the island seemed to celebrate turning out one of the most brilliant sunsets we’ve ever seen.
Congratulations to Hamish & Melissa, wishing you both a lifetime of love & happiness together!

“Lucky I’m in Love With My Best Friend” | The Wedding of Chi & Alex
You couldn’t meet a sweeter couple than this bride and groom – their love for one another is absolutely radiant. And so it was fitting that they would be married on such a warm and beautiful afternoon at Maui’s Makena Beach Resort. The spectacular scene was coordinated by The Perfect Wedding: Chi and Alex exchanged rings and I do’s between their guests and the the waters of the Alalakeiki Channel, incredible flower arrangements (created by Dellables) adorned the aisle and alter, and an acoustic ukulele player strummed serene songs. We felt so honored to be part of this special day. In addition to the wedding photography, we have included photographs from a pre-wedding engagement session and bride+groom sunset session. Enjoy and please feel free to leave your comments below ~ Mahalo.
Congratulations to Chi and Alex! We wish you a lifetime of happiness together. Aloha nui loa.

Stef, her sweetheart, had planned a romantic day-trip to Maui’s remote jungle town of Hana. It was here that he popped the question, and she said ‘yes’!

Maui Wedding Photography | Daniella + Chris
Where do you find the love of your life? For Daniella and Chris it was when they happened to step onto the same elevator. Now fast-forward to a beautiful afternoon on the south shore of Maui – their wedding day. An intimate group of family and friends were present as they exchanged vows. Surrounded by palm trees swaying in the trade winds and the sun glistening on warm Hawaiian waters, Dani and Chris confirmed what began back in that Canadian elevator all those years ago. On May 16th they became husband and wife, and we were there with our cameras to capture this beautiful day in photographs.
A big CONGRATULATIONS to Daniella and Chris; and MAHALO for inviting us to photograph your wedding day. It was an honor. We wish you both the very best!

Lahaina Love – The Wedding of Mike & Kim
The historic Lahaina Town is special place for Mike and Kim. Not only is it the location of their wedding day, but it is also the very place that they met over 12 years ago. At that time, Kim was living on Maui and waitressing in the small beach town. Mike was vacationing with his family, and happened to be seated in Kim’s section of the restaurant one night. The rest is history. They had their first date here, and to make this place even more special, Mike later proposed on the beach down the street.
On May 11th, they came back with family and friends to continue their relationship with Lahaina. This time it was to exchange vows on the same shoreline that had been so significant to their lives. There were some tears, lots of laughter, extraordinary floral arrangements and an outrageous sunset. We were there with our cameras to photograph this momentous occasion and want to express our gratitude and congratulations to this incredible couple.

Martha & Russell – An Intimate Family Wedding
Martha & Russell are no strangers to paradise. Florida natives, this couple decided to travel to Maui to exchange their vows amongst their island ohana. Married on the 24th of February in a backyard ceremony in Makawao, they were surrounded by an intimate group of loved ones. Rose (Martha’s sister-in-law) opened the ceremony with a proper Hawaiian blessing, while a close family friend officiated their wedding. Martha looked radient with her flower crown, hand-made bouquet and white pearls, while the groom Russell wore the traditional maile lei. It was inside a bougainvillea heart, they officially became Mr. & Mrs. We would personally like to thank this wonderful couple and their family for allowing us to be part of their beautiful and intimate ceremony. Congratulations!
