2012 Maui Weddings
2012 is going to have plenty of great weddings in Maui. One date in particular will attract brides: 12/12/12! If you're thinking about getting married on December 12th, 2012, keep in mind that you won't be the only one. It's a very cool date to have as your anniversary (and the chances that your groom will remember it are much greater than any other date), but you'll most likely not have the beach to yourself if you're planning a small beach wedding.
Consider other dates, or if you must get married on this date, look into private venues. Renting an estate on the water will allow you to have a private wedding, and you can still take photos afterwards on the beach like the other brides.
Another big date is 10/11/12. Keep them in mind when booking your vendors. Some may charge more for those dates too due to limited supply and high demand.
Thank you Natalie Brown for again allowing us to share your beautiful images with the world!
Professional Photography in Maui
Sean Michael Hower has a tremendous amount of skill as a photographer. Not only does he possess everything necessary to be successful (talent, technical skills, artistic eye, good tempermant, professionalism, punctuality), but he also has experience shooting every lighting scenerio our island can throw at him. This is important because shooting photos in constantly changing light can make or break your wedding or portrait photo shoot in Maui. Call him today Toll Free: 1.877.572.1347
Maui Wedding Planning
It's been almost 4 years since we were married in Makena, south Maui. The event went relatively smooth, though a few small things went wrong (something every couple needs to prepare for.) Of the mistakes made, no one (other than my wife and I) really noticed.
Thankfully, we had an on-site wedding planner to help make sure the important stuff didn't go wrong. Making sure all your wedding vendors are on the same page is a task in itself. That's why we recommend having a Maui wedding planner help you with your big day. Stress is relieved when you know someone is putting out fires for you.
We recommend using Maui Beach Weddings and Events. They have loads of experience and know the ins and outs of Maui's wedding industry. Call them at 808-298-7244 or 808-463-9288 for your small beach wedding, your huge estate event, and everything in between. 3 words come to mind when describing their coordinators: Professional, organized, and fun.
Olowalu Plantation Wedding
Olowalu Plantation House is a great spot to get married. On this private estate, you don't have to worry about other weddings or pedestrians like when you're on the beach. These photos were taken by Natalie Brown Photography. See more Maui wedding locations.
Small Maui Beach Wedding
Another beautiful small Maui beach wedding. Thank you Natalie Brown for sharing these photos with us. Mahalo!
Maui Boat Weddings
We've recently been made aware of a true gem of a boat, the Aikane X5. The beautiful 62 foot catamaran offers plenty of fun activities including:
- Snorkeling
- Fishing
- Sunset Cocktails
- Whale Watching
- Couples Charters
BUT, one of the things this vessel does that many don't is offer engagement, wedding, reception, and honeymoon cruises. We've written about many different ways to get married in Maui, but this is truly unique. Having a small wedding on a boat is something you and your guests will never forget.
If you have your heart set on a beach wedding, why not do the reception on a private cruise for sunset? Or come back and enjoy a honeymoon cruise with just you and your new bride/groom.
When they mentioned they do engagements too, I was blown away! What a great idea. "Honey, I've booked us a few seats on a cocktail cruise!" Then surprise her/him with a private cruise where you can propose in style. I'm sure none of your friends' engagement stories would top that!
Give Maui Boat Trips a call and ask them how to arrange your upcoming Maui wedding on a boat!
Beautiful Maui Wedding
Gorgeous bride and a beautiful Maui wedding. See more Maui wedding locations.

Vintage Maui Wedding
At the latest wedding we were invited to, we decided to capture the fun on our iPhone with the Hipstamatic App.
The photos have a vintage feel and add a lot of personality to each shot. It was a beautiful wedding at the Grand Wailea and we wish the Washington's all the best in the future! Congratulations!
Grand Wailea Wedding
We're at a wedding at the Grand. GREAT food and beautiful ceremony.
