In 2024, on a trip to England and Scotland which included a seven-day Outlander tour, there was a surprise proposal on the steps of Midhope Castle, known by Outlander fans as "Lallybroch". We also had a planned special Celtic Handfasting Commitment Ceremony in the Highlands. We then began thinking about a uniquely us wedding which would be just as magical. Last year, we booked bucket list trip #2, a 2026 cruise of the Hawaiian Islands with our best friends. We did some searching to see if a Maui wedding would be possible while in port there. We found Aloha Maui Dream Weddings, and our dream wedding came to be. Darci was amazing. She handled everything and all we had to do was show up. First step for us was to fill out a detailed questionnaire so she got to know who we were, and it was truly planned just for us. She handled all the details, quickly answered any questions we had through email or text, reassured us all would be fine when threats of storms were in the news. She found the perfect location at Makena Cove Beach for our ceremony and was there with us on our special day. Reverend Kuya performed our beautiful ceremony. It truly felt like he knew us. We also did a memorial lei toss in memory of my parents and all our grandparents which meant so much to us. Penny (Penny Palmer Photography) captured the beauty of the beach, our emotions of excitement, love, happy tears and even a few laughs during the ceremony and our first pictures as Newlyweds on beautiful Makena Cove Beach. So hard to choose our favorite photos, we purchased the whole gallery. It was truly a magical wedding which we will never forget. Mahola to Darci, Penny and Reverend Kuya for our most magical wedding! As one who likes to plan everything out, it was a leap of faith to just let someone else take care of everything and just show up; however, Darci had it planned perfectly leaving it stress free for us. We may just be back in touch in years to come to have a vow renewal ceremony done by our Aloha Maui Dream Weddings ohana!

10/10 would recommend to anyone to elope in Maui! Throughout our engagement, we really were not looking forward to planning the big "traditional" American wedding that was going to cost us well over $30k! Darci took what we wanted as a couple & made it come to life. The whole process was easy...we booked a trip to Maui & Darci took care of the rest. Marriage license - done; photographer - amazing, officiant - felt like family! It was perfect & exactly what we WANTED! No pressure from family, no timeline -- just us on a "secret" beach in Maui! It was absolutely magical! Thank you Darci, Penny & Robert ... the A+ team!

Beautiful photography on the beautiful island of Maui! Penny has an amazing way of capturing the perfect pictures. She is best photographer here on Maui.

Penny took fantastic photos that we’ll always treasure. She was incredibly kind, helpful, and easygoing!

We used Penny Palmer and Darci for our 40th anniversary vow renewal ceremony and family photographs. They took care of all of the details for the ceremony. The event and creative photography were perfect.
We used Penny and Darci for our 30th anniversary and loved our pictures so much that we came back for more!!! They pictures are hanging in our house so we can cherish the memories of that day. my screensaver on my computer is our family picture.
We did the ceremony and photo session at Napili Bay Beach, with the sunset in the background. The sunset was spectacular and stunning.
I highly recommend using Darci and Penny for any anniversary or special event. They make every picture special.
Aloha!!! 🌺🌺🌺

Just wanted to give a huge shoutout to Aloha Maui Dream Weddings and Penny Palmer Photography for the amazing vow renewal they organized, executed and photographed for our little family. They were so incredibly fun to work with and gave us the most meaningful ceremony we could have ever asked for, far exceeding our expectations. We couldn’t have asked for more! If you are planning a wedding, renewal or any type of family or event photography, please contact Darci and Penny.

Penny and her team did an amazing job photographing our special day. I appreciate that they didn't pose us or our guests; they simply captured the wedding, portraits and reception as we are. They had a knack for capturing all the special moments (like laughs, expressions, or kisses) too. We loved the portraits so much that we splurged and purchased the entire catalog of wedding photos!

We could not have hired a better photographer. Not only were the pictures absolutely beautiful but affordable. Penny got to know us as a couple so she could capture our love .
