If I had to choose a favorite for time of day for a Maui beach wedding, it would be sunrise. There is just something so special about witnessing the island wake up. Not to mention, there are two major benefits to a sunrise ceremony:

• Fewer people on the beach

• Generally less wind (depending on the location, Maui beaches can get quite windy as the day goes on)

Laura and Jacob live in San Diego, and they were so stoked to choose Maui as their elopement location! They are both ocean lovers, and they decided early on in their engagement that a beach elopement would be perfect for them. Their elopement took place during sunrise at Makena Cove on Maui’s South Shore.
