Brooke + Sam: Olowalu Plantation Wedding Weekend
A Dreamy Weekend Wedding Celebration on Maui | Luxury Destination Wedding at Montage Kapalua & Olowalu Plantation
When it comes to planning the perfect luxury destination wedding in Hawaii, this couple went above and beyond, creating an unforgettable experience for their guests. They chose the stunning island of Maui as their backdrop, where they kicked off a weekend of celebrations full of fun, beauty, and aloha spirit.
As a wedding photographer with a passion for capturing epic moments, I was honored to document every detail of their carefully curated wedding weekend. If you’re dreaming of a luxury Hawaii wedding, this celebration will inspire you. Here’s a glimpse into this extravagant multi-day wedding that took place across some of the most iconic venues on the island.
Sunset Sail on Trilogy Excursions: The Perfect Welcome Event
The weekend began with a sunset sail aboard Sail Trilogy, one of Maui’s premier luxury catamaran companies. As the sun dipped below the horizon, the couple and their guests enjoyed cocktails and island breezes, setting the perfect tone for their Hawaiian destination wedding. The intimate atmosphere of a private sunset sail is a fantastic way to welcome guests to Maui, offering breathtaking views of the Pacific and the West Maui Mountains.
Moments like these are what I live for—capturing the joy and excitement as couples kick off their celebration in paradise.
Pool Party at Montage Kapalua: Fresh Coconuts, Champagne, & Lei Making
Day two was a fun-filled, tropical pool party at the gorgeous Montage Kapalua Bay, one of the top luxury resorts in Maui. Picture this: fresh-cut coconuts, a champagne cart, and a lei-making station where guests crafted their own beautiful floral leis. It was the perfect combination of laid-back island vibes and luxury. The couple ensured every guest felt pampered and immersed in the culture, with thoughtful details that elevated the experience.
Planning a pre-wedding event like this is a great way to keep your guests entertained and engaged during a destination wedding. If you’re considering hosting your wedding at the Montage Kapalua, I can’t recommend it enough for couples who want to combine elegance with the natural beauty of Maui.
Haku Lei Making at the Cliff House: A Morning Celebration for the Girls
One of the most unique aspects of this weekend was the morning celebration at The Cliff House. Perched on a cliff overlooking the Pacific, this venue offers jaw-dropping ocean views and a serene atmosphere. The bride and her bridesmaids started their day here, creating beautiful Haku Leis. It’s in these quiet, personal gatherings that the real emotions and connections between friends and family shine through.
Rehearsal Dinner at Montage Kapalua: An Elegant Outdoor Affair
The rehearsal dinner was held outdoors at the Montage Kapalua, with the venue’s stunning landscaping and sunset views creating a magical setting. This elegant yet relaxed dinner gave guests a chance to unwind before the big day. Hosting your rehearsal dinner at your resort allows your wedding events to flow seamlessly and gives your guests the full luxury resort experience.
The Wedding Day at Olowalu Plantation House: The Grand Finale
Finally, the wedding day arrived, and it was nothing short of spectacular. The couple chose the historic Olowalu Plantation House as their venue, a favorite for luxury weddings in Maui. With its sprawling oceanfront lawn, swaying palm trees, and dramatic views of the West Maui Mountains, it’s easy to see why this venue is one of the most sought-after in Hawaii.
From the meticulously planned décor to the heartfelt moments during the ceremony, this wedding was a dream to photograph. The guests, many of whom had traveled from across the country, were treated to a picture-perfect day filled with love, laughter, and the magic of Maui.
