Join us on our 2 week itinerary to experience the diversity of Italy, where we were non-stop on the move to see as much as we could in such a short time. Starting in Rome where the history is palpable, meandering through the villas’ gardens in Lake Como, getting lost in the canals of Venice, and finishing on the via ferrata along some of the majestic mountains of the Dolomites, this adventure was definitely one for the books. #drone #italy #travel

Why I Love Gather Wailea as a Wedding Venue
Gather Wailea offers breathtaking ocean views and lush tropical surroundings that create an unforgettable setting.
The ceremony location has a beautiful back drop of the ocean, islands of Kaho‘olawe and Molokini and sunset. For sunset photos and video after your ceremony, I love going down (2 min drive) to Po‘olenalena Beach Park which has some of the best sunsets here on Maui , as you can tell by the Maui wedding film below 🙂
The venue blends modern and rustic design, with wooden beams, glass walls, and open spaces that feel both elegant and relaxed.
With its stunning views, exceptional service, and unforgettable ambiance, Gather Wailea is the perfect place to create lifelong memories on your wedding day.
In my fifteen years of experience being a Maui wedding videographer, this Maui wedding venue is one of my favorites.

Maui’s Pineapple Chapel Wedding Venue 5 reasons why I recommend it
If you’re dreaming of a Maui wedding that’s intimate, unique, and beautiful, look no further than Maui’s Pineapple Chapel.
Nestled in the charming Kapalua West Maui area, the Maui venue offers a one-of-a-kind setting for your special day.
As a wedding videographer here on Maui for the last 15 years, I’ve shot at nearly every venue on Maui.
Here are 5 reasons why I recommend it:
1.Private estate. I always prefer the private venues over the resorts or multi location weddings.
You can have your entire day here from getting ready to ceremony to reception.
The bridal suite at this venue has great flattering natural light.
There’s also good light on the opposite side of the chapel for the groom to get ready.
2. Layout. Lots of ceremony location options. You can customize the venue with several different ceremony options.
Which is nice to be able to tailor the location to your vision.
The venue can handle weddings from small and intimate to in the hundreds of guests.
3. Lighting. Beautiful lighting for photo and video. There’s something about the light and direction of the sun I love about this venue’s location. I also like the option
to go down to look out (when available) on the golf course. There’s also a really pretty beach and cliffs (Ironwoods) about an 8 minute walk a way.
4. Cost. The Pineapple Chapel isn’t as expensive as some of the other Maui wedding venues which can save you some money or you can use that budget for other parts of your wedding celebration.
5. Location. I recommend if you are getting married to stay in West Maui, such as Kaanapali or further north such as Napili or Kapalua.
Best would be the Ritz-Carlton which is about a 3 min walk a way.
If you’re looking for a wedding venue that offers a blend of beauty, tranquility, and charm, Maui’s Pineapple Chapel is the perfect choice.
With its elegant beauty and peaceful setting, it’s a truly unforgettable place to say “I do” in paradise.

Here are several of my favorite wedding films from this venue

This gorgeous private wedding estate is located in Makena, Maui’s South Shore. There are a lot of reasons why The White Orchid Beach House is one of my all time favorite wedding venues. First of all, it’s a private wedding estate, so you will ONLY have your closest family and friends at your destination wedding, not other guests (like at your typical resort wedding). This location on Maui is typically dry, though I always recommend having a tent for your wedding day just in case, but this is one of the drier sides of Maui.
The coastline is beautiful, being a Maui wedding videographer, love to fly my drone and this is one of the best wedding venues to do so. The stunning Maui coast line, ocean waves, palm trees and light make for an exceptional location to capture incredible drone and land shots. As you can tell from the films below, there’s also stunning sunset golden hour lighting at this Maui wedding venue. There’s a beautiful white room for the bride to get dressed in before here wedding ceremony, and it has great even light showering in from the big window.
The White Orchid Beach house is ran by White Orchid Weddings, one of Maui’s top wedding coordinating companies, they also have the BEST wedding vendors on their preferred list so you will have the best videography, photography, DJ, catering and other wedding vendors Maui has to offer. This makes planning your day easy and stress free.
The convenience of the White Orchid Beach house, beauty, location, light and a team of vendors makes this one of my all time favorite wedding venues on Maui to film.
If you are interested in getting married here please contact me and I will connect you with one of their top wedding coordinators.
Here’s what the White Orchid Beach House website has to say about their venue:
“The White Orchid Beach House offers the nostalgic charm of ‘Old Hawai’i’ as it once was. This estate is one of the very first properties ever situated in this region of Maui. The home offers unobstructed panoramic views of the sparkling blue Pacific Ocean and boasts a beautiful sandy beach steps down from the expansive lawn area – a rare find in Maui. Mornings are glorious, and sunsets are year-round, followed by brilliant starry skies into the night. The house is fully furnished with a beach-style designer interior, a furnished deck area, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a lovely living area, and a kitchen that welcomes licensed caterers on our preferred vendor list.”
Here are a couple of my favorite Maui wedding videos shot at this beautiful south Maui wedding venue.
