Sunset Elopement in Wailea | Documentary Style Maui Photographer
There is something special about choosing to begin your marriage with just the two of you, barefoot on the beach, letting the moment simply unfold! That is exactly what Timara and Noah envisioned for their Maui elopement - simple, quiet, and full of love.
They were staying in Wailea and wanted a location close by, somewhere calm where they could avoid crowds and truly enjoy the beauty of the evening together. We chose Kamaole III Beach Park - a beach with golden sand, gentle waves, and enough variety in scenery for nice portraits.
We began the morning with a first look in the cozy garden of their hotel. Surrounded by greenery, they shared a moment full of excitement and happy nerves. Timara crocheted her wedding dress herself, and it was absolutely stunning - delicate, timeless, and full of personality. See the photos below for Noah’s reaction! From the hotel’s garden, we walked down to the beach for their ceremony. The beach was peaceful and calm, creating the perfect atmosphere for something this intimate. After exchanging vows and rings, we took a stroll along the beach for portraits. Timara and Noah are a playful couple who love to dance, so of course, dancing on the sand had to be part of their day! Those were some of my favorite moments - carefree twirls, laughter, and the pure joy of being together on Maui. The golden sunset light, the quiet and romantic atmosphere, and their natural connection made everything feel effortlessly beautiful!
