Dreaming of getting married in Maui? From a barefoot beach ceremony at sunset to an intimate elopement with just the two of you, Maui offers an incredible setting for a wedding that feels personal, beautiful, and unforgettable.
At 808 Pictures, we’ve had the privilege of photographing couples and families throughout Maui for years. Along the way, we’ve seen just how many different ways there are to celebrate a wedding here.
That’s why we’ve created a new destination dedicated to helping couples explore their Maui wedding options: Maui Weddings.
Whether you’re planning a traditional destination wedding, a tiny ceremony on the beach, a vow renewal, or a celebration that brings together two cultures and families, Maui has something wonderfully special to offer.
Welcome to Maui Weddings
Our new Maui Weddings website brings together information about many of the most popular ways couples choose to get married in Maui.
Instead of trying to fit every couple into the same wedding formula, the site explores different types of Maui weddings and celebrations — because your wedding should feel like your wedding.
Here are some of the possibilities.
Maui Weddings
For couples looking for the complete Maui wedding experience, our Maui Weddings guide is a great place to begin.
Maui offers a remarkable combination of tropical scenery, beautiful beaches, resort communities, dramatic mountains, and unforgettable sunsets. Whether you’re planning a small celebration or bringing friends and family from around the world, a Maui wedding can be as relaxed or elaborate as you want it to be.
And of course, photography is an important part of preserving those memories.
At 808 Pictures, we photograph weddings, couples, families, proposals, engagements and celebrations throughout Maui, creating images designed to bring you right back to the feeling of the day.
Maui Beach Weddings
There’s a reason Maui beach weddings are so popular.
Imagine exchanging vows with the Pacific Ocean behind you, tropical trade winds moving through the palms and the warm Maui light surrounding you.
Our Maui Beach Weddings guide explores the beauty of having a wedding beside the ocean.
Beach weddings can be wonderfully simple, too. You don’t necessarily need hundreds of guests or an elaborate production. Sometimes the most memorable ceremony is simply two people, the ocean and the people they love.
And when the ceremony is over, there’s an entire island waiting for wedding portraits.
Maui Elopements
Not every couple wants a large wedding.
For some, the perfect Maui wedding is simply the two of them.
A Maui elopement can be intimate, romantic and incredibly meaningful. It allows couples to focus on the experience itself rather than organizing a huge event.
You can exchange vows, explore some of Maui’s beautiful scenery, take photographs together and then spend the rest of the day enjoying your new life as a married couple.
For couples who want something private and personal, an elopement can be a beautiful way to celebrate.
Small & Intimate Maui Weddings
There’s also something wonderful about keeping the guest list small.
A small and intimate Maui wedding gives you the opportunity to spend more meaningful time with the people closest to you.
Instead of worrying about entertaining a huge crowd, you can concentrate on your family, your closest friends and the moments you’ll remember years from now.
Small weddings can still be incredibly beautiful — and they can make Maui feel even more personal.
Destination Weddings in Maui
For couples traveling to Hawaii from another state or another country, Maui is an extraordinary destination.
A Maui destination wedding combines a wedding celebration with a vacation for the people you love.
Guests can arrive early, explore the island, enjoy Maui’s beaches and restaurants, and turn your wedding into an entire Hawaiian experience.
For couples planning from far away, having helpful information in one place can make the process much easier.
That’s one of the reasons we created Maui Weddings — to give couples a place to start exploring the possibilities.
Indian Weddings in Maui
Maui can also provide a spectacular setting for couples celebrating cultural traditions and bringing families together.
Our Indian Weddings in Maui section is designed for couples exploring the possibilities of celebrating an Indian wedding in Hawaii.
Indian weddings can involve beautiful traditions, colorful celebrations, meaningful ceremonies and large gatherings of family and friends.
Combining those traditions with Maui’s tropical landscape creates an unforgettable setting for wedding photography.
Maui Vow Renewals
A Maui wedding doesn’t have to be your first trip down the aisle.
Many couples return to Hawaii to celebrate the life they’ve built together.
A Maui vow renewal can be a beautiful way to mark an anniversary, celebrate a milestone or simply say those words to each other again.
And honestly, there’s something pretty wonderful about photographing a couple who have already spent years together.
The smiles are different.
The connection is different.
There’s a story behind every photograph.
Why Maui Is So Special for Wedding Photography
One of the things that makes Maui such an incredible place for wedding photography is the variety of scenery.
Within a relatively short distance, you can find beaches, palms, volcanic landscapes, dramatic mountains, tropical gardens and spectacular ocean views.
The island also offers beautiful natural light throughout the day.
Morning can be soft and peaceful. Afternoon brings brilliant tropical color. And then there’s that famous Maui golden-hour light as the sun begins to drop toward the Pacific.
For a photographer, it’s an amazing place to work.
For a couple, it’s an amazing place to remember.
Your Maui Wedding Story
Whether you’re planning a Maui beach wedding, destination wedding, elopement, intimate wedding, Indian wedding or vow renewal, the most important thing is that the celebration feels authentic to you.
Your wedding doesn’t have to follow a template.
It can be big.
It can be tiny.
It can be traditional.
It can be completely unconventional.
It can be just the two of you standing beside the ocean.
That’s the beauty of getting married in Maui.
