Some weddings feel like a glowing moment suspended in time…And Javier and Loura’s intimate celebration at Gather was exactly that. With sweeping ocean views, lush green lawn, and the island breeze drifting softly around them, their day embodied everything we love capturing in Maui wedding photography: heartfelt emotion, effortless elegance, and the kind of natural beauty that elevates every frame.
For Javier and Loura, Maui was already stitched into their story. It was their first vacation together, a place that felt meaningful from the start, and Javier had created memories here with his family long before this day. Returning to the island for their wedding felt like closing a circle, honoring where they’ve been and where they’re heading together! We are excited to share some beautiful moments of their big day!






Their love story began at work, unfolded quietly and tenderly, and led to a magical engagement in Cancun, Mexico. Private by nature, they cherish quality time, staying active, traveling, and enjoying the simple joy of being together. Their wedding reflected that energy beautifully, minimal, elegant, relaxed, and deeply genuine.
From a photography perspective, their wedding had all the feels! Gather offers privacy paired with incredible oceanfront scenery, giving us the perfect palette of soft light, clean lines, and organic textures. Our style centers around natural, timeless imagery, capturing candid moments and the emotional heartbeat of the day. And Javier and Loura made that effortless! Their ceremony, overlooking the glowing Pacific, radiated warmth and sincerity, creating portraits that feel intimate and cinematic. Their ceremony arch perfectly framed their sacred moment….


















One of the best gifts of this venue is its beautiful, lush grounds. Just steps from their ceremony, they had plenty of private moments to soak in the magic. And the light? It made everything glow to perfection! This venue is perfect for beautiful, intimate moments like this because of the sprawling lawn and ocean view. And Javier and Loura looked radiant, joyful, and completely basked in that newlywed glow. Glowy light? Newlywed bliss? A lush property? A stunning couple? A photographer’s dream! They both looked incredible. Oh, and did we mention the sunset to come?!











Congratulations to this beautiful couple! Your day was everything a Maui wedding should be: simple, elegant, heartfelt, and unforgettable! We wish you nothing but the best!
