Angela & Isaias's Maui Wedding at Gannon's

Gannon's · Wailea, HI

Angela and I met over Instagram. Yay for Instagram! Initially Angela and Isaias were going to get married in Minneapolis, when I got an email that they were doing a destination wedding in Hawaii and wondering if we'd still be interested in capturing it. It was a resounding YES — I mean, it's Hawaii!

We filmed and photographed their wedding and did a sunrise engagement session with them. It was our first time visiting Maui, and everything people say about its beauty is true. It even smells beautiful everywhere you go.

Angela & Isaias | Maui, Hawaii

Gannon's, Wailea, Maui

Gannon's sits above the Wailea golf courses with open lawn, tropical foliage, and long views toward the water — the kind of Maui ceremony ground that asks a camera to stay with people while the island does half the storytelling. Angela and Isaias married here with Tropical Maui Weddings coordinating the day: a circular gold arch dressed in monstera, protea, and ginger; leis and a flower crown; a conch shell marking the kiss.

Our goal was simple and specific — capture this sweet, warm-hearted couple and the unreal beauty of Maui in the same frames. Waves, color, and quiet balcony light before the aisle. Not a brochure for Hawaii. A film of how the day felt.

“It isn't every day that you get to hear the sound of the waves and see the vibrant colors, so we captured it all and put it into their wedding film!”

Sunrise engagement and wedding day light

Before the vows, we made a sunrise engagement session with them on the island — blue-hour coast, leis, and the soft start of a destination weekend. On the wedding day the film finds Isaias looking out over palms and ocean from a balcony, then walking the grass aisle with his parents under Maui sun while guests lift phones and palm fronds mark the rows.

Alma Films photographed and filmed. Maui Palm Tree Floral built the tropical palette. Meili Autumn Beauty, Music by Kalo, and Maui Wedding DJ rounded out a team that kept the day feeling local and alive — ceremony music, reception energy, and details that belong to this island rather than a generic destination template.

Why this film matters

A Maui wedding film is not proof that you flew somewhere beautiful. It is a record of the pivot from a Minneapolis plan to Hawaii, the Instagram hello that became a yes, and the particular light when Angela and Isaias stood under that arch with the ocean behind them.

Years from now they will not only see Wailea. They will hear the waves again, and feel who they were when the island held their celebration. We were honored to capture it.
