Annabelle and Sean’s Maui wedding photography session was everything we love about capturing love stories on the beach, natural, heartfelt, and absolutely magical. Their wedding day didn’t come with a grand ballroom or a ten-tier cake or a 300-person guest list. Nope. It came with soft sand underfoot, warm sun on their shoulders, and a soundtrack of waves gently crashing in the background. And honestly? We wouldn’t have had it any other way.
Their Maui elopement was the kind of simple, elegant celebration that makes your heart sigh. Just the two of them, deeply in love, barefoot in the sand, laughing like they were exactly where they were meant to be. Which—spoiler alert—they absolutely were.
As photographers who specialize in Maui wedding photography, we spend a lot of time chasing light, watching tides, and hoping for skies that give us that perfect golden-hour glow. And Maui? She showed off for Annabelle and Sean. The sun was warm but gentle, casting everything in that dreamy golden hue that makes you want to frame every single photo. The kind of light that makes white dresses glow, ocean blues pop, and smiles look impossibly radiant.
Annabelle looked stunning, graceful, radiant, the kind of effortlessly chic you dream about for your wedding day. And Sean? He looked like dapper yet effortlessly cool. The way they looked at each other made everything else, timelines, checklists, logistics—fade into the background. This was about them. Their joy. Their forever.
They said “I do” with the waves as their witness, a soft breeze and a quiet reverence in the air that made the emotions feel so palpable. It was one of those moments you just know you’ll never forget.
Afterward? Pure joy. They laughed, danced, ran barefoot along the beach like two people completely wrapped up in the moment. And yes, they even got in the waves. Like, really in them! Dresses and all. It was a pure reflection of who they are!
There’s something so freeing about choosing a wedding that’s just for you—no pressure, no performance. Just joy, connection, and a healthy dose of seawater. And for us? Shooting weddings like Annabelle and Sean’s is one of the great joys of our job. We know the rhythm of the tides, how the light bounces off the water at just the right angle, and where to stand so the wind makes your dress look like it’s dancing. Our Maui wedding photography style is all about letting nature lead and emotion shine.
The colors during their session were next-level. Soft blush tones from the sky, deep ocean turquoise, golden light skimming over the waves, and their happiness? The brightest thing of all.
Annabelle and Sean’s wedding was proof that you don’t need a big production to have a big love. Just two people, a beach, and a little sunshine can be more than enough.
Congratulations, Annabelle and Sean. You said “I do” to each other—and to the sea—and we’re so honored we got to capture every salty, joy-filled second.
