Maui is a special place to Suzanne + Scooter, so saying “I do!” at the Hana-Maui Resort was kind of a no-brainer. Scooter’s parents were actually married there, so it seemed fitting to continue the tradition! With the help of Taryn Stark Wyant Events, they planned an amazing destination wedding on Maui and their wedding weekend was absolutely incredible.
Historic rainfall that closed the iconic Road to Hana threatened their weekend of celebration, but Suzanne + Scooter handled the weather stress like true champions. Although the days leading up to their big day weren’t picture perfect, their family + friends rallied around them and made sure the party didn’t stop. The rain stopped on the morning of their wedding day and they were able to say “I do!” on the cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean, just as they envisioned.
Suzanne wore a gorgeous textured gown with floral appliques by Lela Rose and Scooter was the definition of dapper in his white dinner jacket tuxedo. They chose to forego a traditional wedding party and simply spent the day with their siblings and cousin by their side. After the traditional Hawaiian ceremony, guests were escorted up the hill to the Guest House – a beautiful pineapple plantation-style home across the street from the resort. Under a beautiful sail cloth tent, Teresa Sena and her team created the most beautiful + lush floral wonderland filled with the brightest blooms I’ve ever seen. The tablescapes featured patterned linens, colorful plates, print cloth napkins, and vibrant glassware by Estelle Colored Glass. Personalized menus doubled as escort cards and pendant lights were hung from the ceiling – as well as a giant floral installation over the dance floor.
This day couldn’t have been more up my alley. As a lover of color, patterns, over-the-top florals, and texture… this was literally MY dream wedding!! Here are some of my favorites from Suzanne + Scooter’s gorgeous Maui wedding at the Hana-Maui Resort…

Ashley + Kyle’s wedding day was, in a word, magic. These two share such a beautiful love and I am beyond thankful to have witnessed it first hand. Ashley is pure JOY in human form and she absolutely glows in Kyle’s presence. The way they look at each other and care for each other is […]
From the moment I first spoke to Sandra, I knew her wedding day was going to be something special. She had a clear vision of a day filled with special details, personalized moments, and a celebration of love that was truly unique to her and Matt’s love story. Being in the fashion world, I knew […]
There’s something undeniably magical about Charleston SC. The cobblestone alleyways, the historic charm, and the gentle breeze off of the water – which creates the perfect setting for love to flourish. When I had the opportunity to capture Hannah + Ashley’s engagement session on an overcast day this past September, I knew it would be […]
Hilton Head is a special place to Abby + Greyson, as Abby’s parents live there and she’s been visiting the area for years. I always love how the magic of Hilton Head and Sea Pines brings families together on such an incredible day. This September wedding day at Sea Pines started off with torrential rain […]
Somehow, it’s already February and I just realized that I haven’t posted my year-end recap from 2024. Yikes! Better late than never, I suppose! If I’m being totally honest and transparent, 2024 was a difficult year for me + my mindset. Self-doubt, not knowing where I “fit in”, feeling jealousy of other photographers, and not […]
I met up with Nicole + Thomas last summer for their engagement session out on Folly Beach. They found me through another one of my couples, whose wedding I photographed at Sea Pines last winter, and I was thrilled when they asked me to photograph their Charleston wedding! I loved spending the evening with them […]
