Maui Wedding Planning and Photography at Makena Maui Wedding Beaches

Image
Sabrina and Jesus enjoyed a beautiful late afternoon Maui wedding ceremony at Poolenalena beach in Makena with Marry Me Maui Wedding Plannes . Our good friend Charles Nahale officiated the event and played some chicken skin music on his ukulele. Poolenalena (Chang's beach) is a huge swath of sand and ocean in spectacular Makena , the "south side" of Maui. Some of the best wedding beaches in Maui are located here and we know them all! From White Rock , and Paipu, to Makena Cove , Marry Me Maui has performed hundreds of weddings at all of them. Some of these beaches are small and intimate, best for just the couple and maybe 3 guests and some are very large and wide with plenty of room for up to 30 people. As always, parking on Maui's pristine beaches is limited so please carpool! Sabrina and Jesus had almost the entire beach to themselves on this cool and breezy Wednesday afternoon. We want to thank them for a beautiful afternoon doing what we love to do! ...

6 things to consider when planning your Maui wedding

Image
Being involved in the Maui wedding scene since 1987, we have had the experience of working with thousands of couples and dozens of wedding vendors both as photographers and wedding planners. Maui weddings haven't changed a whole lot in those years but there sure are a lot more options for couples wishing to elope to our spectacular island! The beaches are the same as they always were, pristine and beautiful but there are more private and semi-private options available, wedding planning packages, photography packages, videography, Maui wedding ministers , and a whole slew of options  to make your head spin. We thought it might be nice to have a handy guide on the 6 things you should consider when planning your Maui wedding. 1.  Accommodations:   There are 2 main resort areas on Maui ; Kihei / Wailea / Makena on Maui's south side (30 minutes from the airport) and Lahaina / Kaanapali / Kapalua on the west side (45 minutes to 1 hour from the airport).

Sometimes a girl just needs to get her wedding dress on and book a session with our photographer on a killer beach in Maui. We can handle that! While we are a full service wedding planning company, we also specialize in professional Maui portrait photography . Most of the sessions we book, when a client may already be married as in Ry's case, last an hour. We schedule the session for the hour before sunset, when there's plenty of light, and shoot until the sun drops below the horizon. This is the perfect time to shoot, the "golden hour" as the light softens, the temperatures cool and most beach goers are heading back to their hotels leaving the beach to the lucky couples celebrating life in Maui. If you feel like packing the dress on your honeymoon to Maui, give us a call to book a professional photo session. We can arrange for in room hair and make up, floral arrangements, etc. We can also give you some great suggestions for dinner. Marry Me Maui Wedding Planners...

Maui Wedding Dress

Brooke and Clint got Maui'd on our favorite Makena Beach. It was a beautiful, cool afternoon with puffy clouds, a nice breeze and a fantastic sunset. Brooke wore a spectacular gown while Clint went casual with a lightweight white shirt, This is probably the best way to dress for an outdoor Maui wedding. Black Tux's, while very stylish and one might say even sexy, get a groom pretty hot, especially under a Maui sun. Temperatures can hit 88 degrees even in Winter, so keep it light!

Getting Maui'd

Why should you elope to Maui and get yourself Maui'd? Perhaps this picture will convince you:   Dennis has been marrying folks for years and these beaches are available to you, on the shores of one of the finest islands in the world, with just a phone call. You can rent a hall or church in your home town, but only Maui offers this kind of incredible, pristine beach to share your vows.  Call us at Marry Me Maui Wedding Planners : 1-800-745-0344

Your Wedding in Maui

Who ever said you can't do it all on your Maui wedding day never met Brian and Hedeieh. These two wanted a private garden setting and a beach shoot so we set them up with a ceremony in front of a beautiful gazebo on a private lawn surrounded by manicured lawns and exotic wildlife followed by a sunset portrait session on a nearly deserted beach the next evening. The weather cooperated perfectly as it nearly always does. This couple was quite adventurous and we wound up in the ocean trying not to get electrocuted by our 510 volt battery pack! As usual, we survived to shoot another day and Brian and Hedieh got some very cool images of their Maui Wedding and Maui Photography Session . Mahalo!

We love to get comments like this:   "Thank you for a wonderful, stress free wedding day - everything was absolutely perfect!" .   That's from Kathy in the photo above. She did her Maui Wedding the right way: Private home rental, beach wedding in the late afternoon at a beach we recommended, dinner at a golf course restaurant nearby the beach. All the venues were within a couple of miles of the house they rented in the south side of Maui so driving was easy and the timing was generous. Marry Me Maui Wedding Planners provided the photography, hair and make-up, musician, minister and coordination at a reasonable price. We also gave Kathy all the information she needed to plan a wedding centered around her accommodations without having to drive all around Maui to get things done. Kathy now gets to have superlative photography like this along with memories to last a lifetime. Give your Maui Wedding Planners and Maui Photographers a call for your Wedding in Hawaii .  Marry ...

Kristen and Thomas wanted to get some killer shots by a waterfall before their Maui wedding so we hooked them up with one of the few accessible waterfalls on the relatively dry Makena coast. It happens to be in a fabulous hotel surrounded by manicured gardens. We love being able to accommodate our client's desires and while there are some things we can't do, we are typically able to find what our clients need for their perfect wedding in Hawaii . Our Maui wedding photographer , Joe D'Alessandro, captured our photogenic couple beautifully. Mahalo Kristen and Thomas for letting us be a part of your day!

Maui Beach Weddings

The great thing about Maui, actually all of Hawaii, is that the beaches are all public. There are no private beaches, parking is free, although limited, and the beaches are beautiful, pristine environments. That being said, we have some of our own rules regarding Maui Beach Weddings : The main one is that we will not perform a ceremony on a public beach for more than 25 or 30 people. There are several reasons for this. Parking is the main one. The comfort and satisfaction of our couples is another. A large group leaves a big footprint and since there are always other people on the beaches (They are public), a large group has a hard time fitting on a beach. Also, a large group will not be able to hear even the loudest officiant, especially when competing with the sounds of wind and surf. Since we are not allowed chairs, arches or any types of "props" on a public beach, a semi private or private venue is an ideal place for a large group. We can have chairs, arches, etc., all in...

Occasionally, it rains on Maui. Not very often, but once in a while, we'll have to pull out the umbrellas. The two main resort areas, Kihei/Wailea/Makena and Lahaina/Kaanapali, get about as much rain per year as Santa Fe New Mexico, which is to say it's generally dry in those areas but when the Kona's kick in, moisture is sucked up from the south and it may rain for a couple of days. This was the case with Helga and Cecil. They shrugged off the weather and had a great time. The lanai at the condo they were staying at was huge and more than accommodating for the 15 people in attendance, so we had the ceremony there. Everybody had a great time. Thanks Helga and Cecil for not letting the weather get in the way of your big day!

Gloria and Jim stepped it up with a few extra amenities for their Maui wedding . Our Harpist, Kristine, was on hand to provide a melodic backdrop of sweet classical music (she can also play Stairway to Heaven on that thing), while Laki performed another Hawaiian wedding ceremony as only he can. We had a gorgeous afternoon at the beach with Maui Wedding Photographer Joe D'Alessandro providing uncompromising imagery.
