Jennifer and Andrew, A Maui Wedding in Makena

Poolenalena beach is a quarter mile swath of sand in Makena with virtually no buildings on its perimeter. The beach is shallow and the waves are generally small and placid making this a perfect spot for family gatherings, fishing and of course, Maui Weddings. Nestled between the Wailea Resort and the rural setting of Makena, Chang's (the local name for Poolenalena) is the perfect spot for our larger wedding parties who desire a toes in the sand beach wedding on Maui. World renowned restaurants populate the Wailea / Makena area like the honu's (turtles) in the ocean, a mere 2 or 3 minute drive away. If you are staying in the resort area of Wailea or the bustling town of Kihei, with its numerous condominiums and vacation rentals, Chang's is the perfect spot for your Maui Wedding.
Jennifer and Andrew had their Wedding ceremony here on a rather cloudy day, which kept the temperatures nice and cool and were fortunate enough to enjoy a spectacular Maui sunset as the sun popped out over Kaho'olawe just before it sank into the sea. We would love to share a few of the images our professional Maui Photographer shot during their special Maui Wedding Day!

Eye contact. That's our tip for couples today. Nothing is more important than eye contact for those memorable wedding photos. Most of our Maui Wedding ceremonie s last about 15 minutes; short and sweet. 15 or 20 minutes for your photographer to capture something that happens once in your lifetime. Not to put too much pressure on the wedding couple, but the beauty of your Maui wedding images depend not only on the professionalism of your photographer, but also by your facial expressions, relaxed attitude and eye contact with each other and the camera. During the ceremony, your attention should be on the person you are marrying. Looking into each others eyes during the vows, lei ceremony and ring exchange not only creates incredible images but also bonds the two of you during what is a very intimate moment.

Maui Beach Weddings Question: What about the weather?

Image
"What do we do in case of rain?" is something we hear very often. Marry Me Maui does about 200 weddings per year. Most of them are beach weddings at various locations around the island. We try to keep the locations near our clients' accommodations but sometimes that's not possible because either the beach is not suitable for a wedding, there's no parking or the beach might be off limits by law (Kaanapali Beach). We are required to pull permits from the state for every beach wedding and they allow us 2 locations. This is usually sufficient to avoid a rain-out in cases of inclement weather. Kapalua Bay Maui is home to 10 of the 13 "life zones" on planet earth and also host various micro-climates. The weather in Kapalua can be vastly different than the weather in Lahaina only 7 miles away. Indeed, we have seen rain at DT Fleming and none at Kapalua Bay less than 1 mile away. With smartphones giving us constant updates on everything from our favori
