The Experience

After over a decade of photographing destination weddings, Elope Maui founder Ajja noticed that a lot of her clients were looking for something different and truly original. They wanted an untraditional wedding experience that was intimate, nature-driven, understated and highly personalized. Her clients tend to be bohemian spirits who regard adventure and travel as tops. They pride themselves on forging their own path. 


Elope Maui offers couples everything from simple ceremonies of love in a gorgeously remote slice of Hawaii, to a full-day wedding adventure, curated to showcase their client's sensibility with effortless ease.  

Elope Maui's services range from destination scouting, logistical management, local travel expertise, photography, videography, florals and can source almost any of your elopement dreams. Your elopement should be a wonderful and stress-free day that connects you to off-the-beaten path locations for an unforgettable experience.  Expect a full service elopement experience from start to finish.

Elopement Planning & Photography

Let’s dream up an experience as beautiful and meaningful as your love for one another.

  • Stumbled upon Ajja's photography and instantly fell in love with her ability to capture moments. We called Ajja the night before our flight...three days later, we eloped in the best way possible and couldn't recommend Elope Maui enough! Thank you for going well above and beyond our expectations!

The Process.

So where do we begin and what’s included?


During an in-depth consultation, Ajja will get a sense of what kind of feeling you would like to evoke during your vows and what elements in nature— water, foliage, lava rock, wind, sun— are important to you. She will get a sense of your history and your unique story as a couple.

Together, you'll explore what intrigues you about Hawaii as a place and culture. Ajja’s hope is that Maui will shine and lead the way through cultural narratives such as sense of place, humility and aloha.

When it comes time for your elopement, Ajja will draw out the essence of your relationship and translate that into beautiful imagery with her Maui elopement photographer. The words that you use to describe your love is what you will see documented.

We will then discuss what elopement collection if the right fit for you. Our collections include photography, officiant, images, leis, attention of planning, permitting and more!

 

 

Meet Ajja

I have been photographing love and human connection for over a decade. I want my photographs to make you feel deeply and tell your story honestly and intentionally.

I grew up on Maui playing at the beach, doing gymnastics, taking endless dance classes and observing my parents as successful entrepreneurs. All of this is the foundation of who I am today. Maui is my home and it’s an honor to share it with you in my own unique way.

Beyond my love for photography and dance, I enjoy relaxing with my family in the yard and exploring new places. I love making people laugh and surrounding myself with people who I can laugh with. I love the adventurous outdoors, especially finding new waterfalls. I love surfing—there is something about being in the sun with friends, and the challenge to ride the perfect wave with style. I love to discover the love and mysteries of God in my life. I adore quiet. I love artists and their passion.
